first day in tokyo 🌸 Meiji Jingu, teamLab, Shibuya, Yoyogi Park 🗾🌳

Japan is so magical, I want to cry😭

[@storiesofmilo]

It truly is!!! 😭 let's cry together!! ❤

[@janecherie]

This vlog is a gem because of the nature's sounds and the wonderful peaceful feeling from the morning walk. Reading the prayers and wishes on those wooden boards was also emotional for me. The Temple and Tori gate look impressive! Not just because of their sheer size but also because they are so beautiful and well-preserved. I have seen the same famous places in other videos but your vlogs stand out and allow me to discover new things about them! It's all about what the vlogger chooses to show and I adore the details you show! 🥰 🌸

[@storiesofmilo]

You're too kind, thank you so much 🥺 ❤️ You definitely should check out these places during your Japan trip + don't forget to be an early bird in Japan! These touristic spots quickly get overwhelmed with tourists 😅 It's always better to be there super early to enjoy the peacefulness!

[@nowgaku]

Spectacular sunset with city skyline, walk in the park, Meiji Jingu and conveyor belt sushi experience.

[@storiesofmilo]

It was beautiful indeed 🥺❤️ an amazing memory

[@AnxMa]

Great channel. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit Asia. All the best!

[@storiesofmilo]

Thank you!! ☺️ I hope you get the chance in the future to visit, to make up for it!! ❤️

[@Pitman33]

Tokyo is truly an amazing city. So much to explore. I love the walk from Shinjuku to Shibuya. I also love the walk from Shinjuku to Nakano. Thanks for sharing your trip.

This was another great vid 😊 I feel like I lived your life when I went 2 weeks ago.

Finally someone who can really make good quality videos from an iPhone :D Really good video, good shots and that quality. Whole video is interesting to watch. You have 2 phones?

[@storiesofmilo]

You're too kind!! ❤️ I do have 2 phones! I bought the Iphone 14 Pro when my 11 was slowly dying... I am based in Brazil, the country with the MOST expensive apple products in the world 😩 so when I was in Korea, I bought a new phone! But then, as soon as I started using the 14 Pro to shoot content (bc the camera was obv 10000x better than the 11), my 11 suddenly got in better health... 😂 So I had two great phones! The 14 to shoot content/creative hobbies (Procreate Pocket/Capcut/Unfold) + the 11 for internet stuff = it's actually great to have 2 phones because 1) I never need extra battery during the day! They both hold pretty well for each of the use I need them for and 2) I'm hoping it will make them hold longer in time... we'll see ☺️

Your first day in Tokyo is some of what I would like to see myself. Not as interested in the 3d cat, more into the architecture of their shrines, temples reminds me of going through a cathedral in Europe. Like to see the area around the emperor palace. The garden with the butterflies was really nice to see.

[@storiesofmilo]

If you're interested in architecture, you're in for A TRIP in Japan!! 😍 You can just walk around and stumble on beautiful shrines in the middle of the city... (i'll show one in the next vlog, coming this Wednesday, in the middle of Shibuya... and still so peaceful! 😌) I loved the butterflies too 🦋❤️

[@feli-boon]

omgg thank you! i found your previous vlog and came here ☺ i actually planned to book the exact same hotel as yours so it was really helpful that you show what's around. do you maybe have any complain for the neighbourhood or the hotel itself? do you like itt?? im still considering some options too so 😆 excited for your upcoming vlogs!! ill watch em all 🤍

[@storiesofmilo]

So happy you're here!! 🥰 So, about APA Hotel Shinjuku Gyoemmae: great neighborhood! Being close to Shinjuku station means you're super well-connected to the rest of the city! Lots of konbini and restaurantes around! To be fully honest, the room was SMALL, but well, that's also one of the cheapest room in the city... BUT they have great amenities: I LOVED the public bath house, they also offered adaptors, iron, etc. I think if you're like me and plan to spend most of your day outside, it's really okay! Better to have a small room in a good location that will make you give you the ability to move around easily and fast ☺ ENJOY!!!! ❤ so happy for you!

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply! So, I am also usually based in a hot/humid country (Brazil) and honestly... Japan was tough 😂 I don't know how to explain it, but it seems to be a universal experience - the summers there are indeed rough! I didn't mind so much the humidity but the sun, oh my, it was so strong! I REALLY recommend you to buy one of these UV umbrella once you're there! 1) everyone has one/uses them, it's super common and 2) it will save your life many times! It makes walking around historical sites way more bearable! But still - it's lovely to visit in the summer! ☺️

so sad to see all these people writing their wish in this piece of wood, like if there will be magic and that it will be realized. Why they do that ? if they don't believe in it they are only embarassing themselves and sharing they intimacy with strangers, and if they believe it whereas they are adults i don't understand. or maybe they are only imitating others people without thinking about it. too many superstitions, they should try to think about the truth more instead of create false things to play with it
