Love that your video popped up on my recommended.I been looking for other content creators to watch that are in their 30s 😭

[@oliviaimamura]

Hey girl thanks for watching and commenting 🫶 hope you’re having a great day 🙏

[@oliviaimamura]

Looove to see my beautiful Colombian coffee on your cozy and amazing vlogs! BTW never get tired of your content! greetings!

[@oliviaimamura]

Hey you 🫶 thanks for the lovely coffee :) So happy to hear you’re enjoying the content! Hope you’re having a great day!

[@midlifecrisisme6182]

Some nice recommendations! I’ve done a few of them but always fun to be inspired to explore new ones. I think that when you’re walking around in Tokyo you’ll always find some amazing (sometimes weird as well) cafe. Especially in the somewhat off-neighborhoods.

[@oliviaimamura]

Yess! There’s so many nice as well as quirky cafes. Any cafes you’d recommend?

[@Adam-S-Hacker]

Wow, so happy to have come across this video! I born in the US, but grew up in Shoto and later lived in Tomigaya for work. Such a unique calm in these areas of Tokyo. Definitely want to try nadoya, paddlers, and no. during my next visit. Still miss those pedestrian walkways ~ I've had lots of delicious drinks and meals along that route into Shibuya✌🏼

[@oliviaimamura]

Yes it’s such a nice area!! And thanks for sharing something about yourself as well! Happy to hear the vid was helpful :)

[@chrissiepops]

I'm going to Tokyo in July, can't wait to check out all of these coffee shops!

[@oliviaimamura]

Hopefully it’ll be an amazing trip!! 🤞 happy to hear you found this vid helpful :)

[@knkweb]

I'm excited about the prospect of meeting someone in Japan! I've made the decision to stay here for a while.

[@oliviaimamura]

Cool, hope things work out! 🤞

[@BenjaminKasparBiki]

Loving these vlogs 🙂Planning to visit Japan in 2025! Every new video makes we want to go more, lol.

[@oliviaimamura]

Thanks!! Glad to hear you’re getting inspiration from my vlogs! Hopefully helping in planning an amazing trip 🙏

[@rerus01]

Thanks for introducing your favorite cafes. Now we need more videos like this 😅.

[@oliviaimamura]

Tokyo has plenty of great cafes 😇

[@ratzo77]

I would make the last one my "go to" . I did spend the next 45 minutes dinking coffee and looking for your Kotatsu/coffee table on-line. Is that a solid piece if wood? so cool

[@oliviaimamura]

Yeah it has a very personal feel to it! The coffee table is one solid piece of wood. I bought it from a Japanese site called Creema, kind of like Japanese etsy, but it's one of a kind so you can't buy it unfortunately!

[@ratzo77]

@@oliviaimamura Thanks! I thought is was probably an artisan table. I did find similar ones, but they had logs for legs (literally). As for Japanese cafe culture, they are so diverse. If I was with friends I would go here, if I wanted to get some work done I would go to this one, and if it was raining I'd go over there. I did like the cafe you got scolded for having a tri-pod lol!!

[@oliviaimamura]

@@ratzo77 Yeah it took me some time to find a table that I liked! Best of luck with your hunt 🤞 Totally agree - the cafe definitely depends on what you want to do/who you're with! Love paddlers :)

[@cathynakagawara]

if you like paddlers i think u should try their other cafe in nakano called LOU! dont think they have a time limit…they serve some tapas at night too! I have yet to visit paddlers!! i think a cool study cafe would be common in roppongi! but the menu is a liftle more expensive than usual i would say lol

[@oliviaimamura]

Amazing tips! Checked Lou on Google and it seems amazing! I’ve actually never been to Nakano but I really need to go lol. And literally a week ago visited common for the first time so will be in a vlog shortly! Thanks :)

[@kadeeeartiaga]

Cutieee cafes are everywhere! 😮

[@oliviaimamura]

Yess!

[@nowgaku]

For numerous Japanese individuals, living in Tokyo is considered the ultimate aspiration.

[@oliviaimamura]

I guess! But life outside of Tokyo seems lovely as well, for different reasons than Tokyo :)

Heaven of cafe is Seoul

[@oliviaimamura]

Totally agree! Been to Seoul 3x and the cafes are insane. Wish to go back soon.

[@mrmatz408]

I'm sorry to bother you with this, but would you mind telling me what the delivery guy said to you before he left, around 4:52? He spoke so quickly that I couldn't make out anything! 😢 I would love to check out nadoya no katte or no., but unfortunately this July I'll be in Kyoto instead of Tokyo. Fun vid!

[@oliviaimamura]

Hahah I didn't realise that people would want to know what's being said! He's just saying "Thank you. So this purchase was made through Mercari, was it not?" Me: "Yes that's correct". I have a Kansai solo trip vid where I go to many cafes and restaurants in Kyoto if you're interested :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3-rloCVh796pLcsi=8tdCGcFmiEJaWnFq

@@oliviaimamura ah, okay thank you! I listened to it again but still couldn't pick out the Japanese. However, this time I think I did barely hear メルカリ, lol

[@oliviaimamura]

amazing vlog! but why would that someone tell you off for using a tripod? geez :/

[@oliviaimamura]

Thank you! It’s Japan - people are just a lot more private and protective of their environment. So it’s very normal here!

[@joyaclub]

Very nice apartment. Do you mind telling how much you’re paying?

[@oliviaimamura]

Thanks! 160k yen so with the current (very weak rate for yen) around 1k usd!

Great vidoe. How are people about your tattoo? I am visiting this summer and have a tattoo on my leg, and plan on wearing shorts. Will that be frowned upon?

[@oliviaimamura]

Especially if you look like a foreigner/tourist people won’t mind at all. When I have my tats out people just assume I’m a foreigner but people don’t really mind. Of course access to onsens and bath houses is limited but other than that I never think about my tattoos being frowned upon. Maybe outside of Tokyo you might get some looks from some older people but as a tourist I don’t think you need to really think about it at all tbh, be yourself:)
