[@polozmum3406]

Thank you for this clip! Flying from Sydney to Tokyo next mth and definitely will visit Shibuya Sky. I used to go Japan 3 times a year. Can't wait!

[@kimdaovlog]

Ahh have fun!!

[@MK-nd1om]

Thank you so much for uploading these! Currently trying to plan a trip to Japan so these are SO helpful.

[@kimdaovlog]

I'm glad they're helpful!

[@nely26]

Loving your vlogs, Kim. Looks like you're having a great time in Japan. Hina is so adorable!

[@kimdaovlog]

It's been really fun!

[@AILEEN_MARTINEZ123]

Nice to see all the places you visited. Hina is getting so big now and is so adorable! I want to visit Tokyo soon . Thank you for an amazing and informative and fun episode 😊

[@kimdaovlog]

She's all grown up!

[@pajdawblis]

Hina is just so cute!!! And I can't wait to visit Japan again...not any time soon but hopefully in the near future. Have lots of fun exploring all the changes to the city!!! :)

[@kimdaovlog]

I hope you can visit soon! A lot has changed!

[@blacksheep806]

Ahh this makes me so excited, I can't believe I'm finally able to go to Japan in January! Also it's so nostalgic seeing you back in Japan again! I've watched your videos for years and you are one of the rare "jvloggers" still active, and the fact you kept going and did well still after leaving is really wonderful, really happy for you! ^_^

[@sunako85]

We missed you Kim!!! Yay Japan content!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@laurenreiman7316]

Omg so excited to see so many vlogs again!

Ah I love the monorail views going to Odaiba 🥺 Brings back so many good memories and makes me even more excited to go back!

[@kimdaovlog]

[@suejmaryoung]

You brought back memories for me, we went to TeamLab planet in 2017. Thanks for showing the bean bag room as I had no idea what it was!!! Love your Japanese vlogs!

[@kimdaovlog]

haha I was so confused at the start when I saw it too!

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

I’m loving your Japan vlogs. Please keep them coming

[@kati7608]

Good Morning Kim. I hope you'll have a nice day. Thanks a lot for your Videos, because of them I miss Japan a little bit less then my normal days. I'm ill and I know that I can never travel one more time to Japan. So, thank you for your great Storys. 🙏🏻🤗

[@kimdaovlog]

I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm really glad that you're enjoying them ❤

[@theyoungatheartinaction1014]

To visit Tokyo this December thanks for showing some places which will we gonna go and have fun like Team lab

[@srrfounder1]

I love that you're featuring Japanese food, Kim, yum!

We've been trying to explore more food places! It's been fun!

[@moiraphippard8211]

Thank you Kim , I have been planing for more than 2 years to go to Japan I watched all your videos , but now I feel that so many places won’t be there anymore , if you please recommend new places to eat in akihabata or Ginza Or shinjuku, thanks for the onigiri place , I will visit at the beginning of March Your dog is so cute 😍

[@kimdaovlog]

I will have lots of food places coming up!!

[@Nella_roxy14]

Hina is so cute I always love watching you’re vlogs ❤

[@isabaltazar322]

OOOhhhh those request cards are genius! I don't think they had those when I came to Japan 3 years ago.

[@hitomichan7]

Seeing you in asakusa is giving me so many feels because its one of my favorite places in tokyo that i miss it there. I wish i could be there now taking a stroll

[@lilylin1130]

Love u Kim! Finally done with all my exams! I can finally relax! 🤣

[@kimdaovlog]

yay!! Congrats for finishing!

[@pamleung683]

Love your Vlogs. So much useful info for when we plan our trip to Japan 😊

[@kimdaovlog]

I'm glad theyre useful!

[@TokyoCapsuleCollection]

This video contains the charms of Tokyo. It is a short and easy-to-understand video. Your video is great.💯

[@anarealthemage2693]

I love how much you obviously love your dog. I feel the same way towards mine, she's a chihuahua.

[@kimdaovlog]

She’s the world to us! People have complained that she’s in my vlog too much, but she’s part of our family

[@sungukong4743]

kim .. thank for your video. . i am interesting to visit japan... :) hopefully we can meet

[@goldnimrod]

On the sewing machine subject - try finding ones that have a metal body inside and not plastic. They work better and last longer. I really Singer's sewing machine. Brother is good as well. Good luck, and thanks for the vlogs! 🤩

[@kimdaovlog]

Thank you!!

[@lduv426]

Sewing machine Advice! Brother is a really good make, there are different types, I just got the £300 one and it's perfect for my everyday needs and more, plus automatic button holes haha! Loving the content so far! :D

[@kimdaovlog]

thank you for your recommendation! That sounds really nice! I had a really cheap one before and needles broke all the time haha

[@TheCrazyElves]

Hi! I'm an Etsy store owner, I make doll clothes and use my sewing machine every day. I can't recommend Bernina sewing machines enough, they are AMAZING. They are very expensive, though, so if you don't need a machine with lots of different abilities I'd recommend a Brother machine if you need something simple.

[@user-yb9dl6ok9r]

Next time take the cruise from Asakusa to Odaiba (or vice versa). Tickets are very cheap. And you get such a nice view of the river. I suggest Himiko (Tokyo Cruise).

[@kimdaovlog]

Thanks! I will try one day! I get a bit seasick so I try to avoid cruises but I know one of them allows dogs so I would like to give that a try sometime

[@NoohAbb]

I can’t wait to visit Japan, I’ll definitely go here, but I also want to experience Akihabara.

[@candychimes8184]

Another nice episode Kim. Can you take us along as well when you start buying fabric and your sewing machine for your business. I'm into sewing right now and really curious what stuff are there in Japan. Also what face mask you are using in this episode? It looks really nice, is it comfortable?

[@kimdaovlog]

Yes for sure! I’m going to do that when we move soon! I think I was using the k95 mask in this video!

[@de6519]

Your japan videos never fail, i always learn something new about the country and where to sight see. I am curious is teamlab planet a seasonal place/event to visit or is it open to public year round in japan?

[@debrafirestone861]

She’s so adorable

[@kimdaovlog]

💖

[@iamzoerya]

Re TeamLab, is the water cold during winter? Or the aircon helps? How long does it take to explore all areas? And still cant decide to go to Shibuya Sky at night or day....

[@kimdaovlog]

Ahh I’ve never been but I’d assume it would be a good temperature inside. It took us maybe 2 hours to explore everything? We were going around quite slowly. I went to Shibuya sky during the day too. I think if you wanna take photos of yourself, day time is better. Night time is great but also it does get cold up there.

[@SarahSinclair]

Weird to see Asakusa so empty! When I went with my friends, we could hardly move ;-; I spent too much money at the Pokemon Centre when I went lolol Hope you have more fun adventures in Japan 🧡

[@kimdaovlog]

Yeah it was so weird! Good opportunity for photos but it was sad hearing from people how their businesses suffered

[@SarahSinclair]

@@kimdaovlog Hopefully more people will go back now that borders are open and will give those businesses some love 🧡

[@saadahmad505]

I love japan ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@thatsandyho]

Love your vlogs! Have you tried Abura soba? Now of my favorite KZbinrs Sundai Love living in Japan loves it so much!

[@kimdaovlog]

No not yet! I will try!

[@chusyenng3529]

Hina is very cute! Possible to film how you teach Hina to speak?? 😀

[@kimdaovlog]

Haha yes! I do plan to make a training video since a lot of people requested. Though it will have to wait until we move out which hopefully will be soon 😭😭

[@celcius_87]

Very cool places!

[@kimdaovlog]

They were all great!

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Hope the tourist crowds are better now to help out those stalls

[@kimdaovlog]

I hope so, I spoke to some and they all said they were really struggling

[@lycansberg]

There used to be a boat ride from asakusa direct to odaiba. I wonder if it's still around?

[@hillarybroughton6240]

Great vlogs, very informative. I was wondering how is Japan with taking card payments over cash? So use to using card or tap and go payments in Australia!

[@kimdaovlog]

Ahh it’s gotten better but still very behind compared to Australia. I would still carry cash but a lot of places do take care now!

[@hillarybroughton6240]

@@kimdaovlog Thank you !!

また日本にようこそ😃

[@AstorReinhardt]

Oh man that Teamlab place looked trippy. idk how comfortable I'd be wading in that water with my bare feet. RIP your Switch! That sucks. My Switch never leaves the house because I'm worried about it...I wish there was a way to recover islands if you lost your Switch...

[@kimdaovlog]

I guess because they kinda clean your feet beforehand at the waterfall the water (should be) quite clean haha

[@liamlee8422]

what's the name of this Onigiri place? I will be in Japan next month!

[@ぼっちな歌い手]

Although I live in Japan, have never been to the onigiri place. What apps or websites people traveling in Japan use? One of my friends will come to Japan, but I don't really know where I should recommend them to visit.

[@sibelk.2197]

If you guys were planning to stay for a limited time, did you ever consider to buy the stuff you need second hand? Just curious.

[@mpower6004]

The most surprising thing is that still how empty those popular places and streets are to pre pandemic .

[@kimdaovlog]

Yeah, a lot of the places are struggling so I hope it gets better!

[@almadeckard8360]

Janome M is a good sewing machine for the long haul home sewest. Brother XM 2701 is for the occasional sewest. Brother XR 9550 is good for the home pro. A Juki TL 2010Q now you getting near pro level and high speed to boot. Very good with thick fabrics even leather.

[@kimdaovlog]

Thank you for the recommendations! I'm not at pro level so I might check out the other ones! The one I had was a cheap singer and needles always broke haha

[@gracesanti13]

When was this video taken, looks like its still summer in Japan.

[@kimdaovlog]

About 3 weeks ago!

[@cindylee3154]

Hi! Lovely video. Just wanted to comment that it’s not actually Michelin star but bib gourmand which indicates good value & quality for your money but not necessarily the same standard as actual star

[@thebearguam]

how long was the tour at Team Labs?

[@kimdaovlog]

You can stay for as long as you want, I think we stayed for 1.5 hours?

[@justacutehyperbole121]

When I went to teamLab Borderless in 2019, I wore a dress and didn’t know the floors were mirrored so I had to walk carefully to not expose too much😅

[@kimdaovlog]

Hahaha oh dear 😅 I didn’t know either but luckily I wore shorts

[@hiddenstory25]

Wow i miss tokyo right now

Ugh I love Hina 😘

[@karlahluz2036]

Juki are the best sewing machines

[@kimdaovlog]

Yeah! My mum has them but so $$$ hahah

[@guygadbois3010]

What was supposed to happen when you interacted with those silver egg-shaped things @8:12? They kind of have a scifi/horror vibe to them for me, lol. Hopefully you bought a wand at the Sailor Moon museum and could repel any aliens using Moon Healing Activation.

[@kimdaovlog]

Nothing much, they just moved around a bit haha. Kids were running around smacking them

[@andrewnguyen503]

Hello I enjoyed your video and glad it was recommended to me. Do you speak Japanese? If no, what’s it like living in Japan without it? Every time I visit my wife I have to rely on her to translate and really trying to learn so I can live there as well. Thanks!

[@kimdaovlog]

I do speak Japanese so it makes it a lot easier (paperwork, reading menus etc). I know people who lived in Japan without knowing Japanese, they are able to do it but they have to heavily rely on others who can speak to help them do paperwork etc. That being said though, if you get all your documents done, you can easily live in Japan without knowing any Japanese. I personally think that if you do know Japanese it makes things a lot easier!

[@almadeckard8360]

For a dog food blender, you will need one that can crush bones well. Vitamix is the best for this. Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

[@kimdaovlog]

Thanks for the recommendation! I don't crush bones as I just feed her a raw chicken wing with every meal, I just need it to blend vegetables/fruits/organ meat

Strange that you ordered shiitake and umeboshi onigiri. So simple. I can’t remember if you are vegan but didn’t Eric order something extraordinary? That Bongo onigiri place in Martina’s vid always looked amazing so I bet your choice was good too and closer to tourist locations. Glad you are back in Japan!

[@kimdaovlog]

Haha no I was never vegan and never will be. I really like mushrooms and umeboshi. I tried Bongo a few days ago, Ume onigiri is always my first choice

I don't likeIchran as much as other better ramen shops. I like thick noodles in a tonkotsu, or miso, or spicy.

Not a fan of ichi raman. Ippudo is better as a chain imo. But most non chain ones better still

[@raymondlee4838]

Good vlog as always, except the Ichiran part. I know everyone have their own favorite, but it's well known Jap natives never choose Ichiran because it sucks. I tried it once at an Osaka Ichiran and their ramen are pretty bland and nothing special imo.

[@kimdaovlog]

Lmao we waited in line for 20 minutes with all Japanese natives in line because borders weren’t open yet. Don’t see a problem with ichiran, I like it a lot more than other ramen places.

[@raymondlee4838]

@@kimdaovlog well, I might have to reword "Jap native foodies never choose Ichiran" then, lol. Just because they are natives doesn't mean they know what's a good bowl of ramen. I live in LA, and I still frequent crappy local restaurants here just out of convenience. Maybe I got a bad bowl of ramen at Osaka Ichiran, cause it was pretty bland, the soup is worse than some ramen places here in LA and the noodles are just not memorable.
