Benji was always meant to have a Japan vlog.

[@johnrecchie7542]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@MothGirl007]

Totally!

[@user-sd3py3oh2e]

Japan was waiting for him to visit 🎋

[@nomado3650]

Chris is so shy!

[@greenlessthumb]

Those mosquito hickeys! 🤣🤣

[@k-realm9719]

He can't hide the truth 😏😉

[@paulcognito]

Of the Chris variety

[@k-realm9719]

@@paulcognito btw he did address this in his most recent video 😂

[@paulcognito]

@@k-realm9719 need to see it ! Lol

[@brownskngrl]

I would love to go back and visit Japan, especially Tokyo. I visited Okinawa for a month.

[@user-qv8sr6hv7r]

Happy to see Benji-san having a good time in my country! It's a good choice to choose Nara/Kyoto for sightseeing in Japan! Both cities seem to fit Benji-san's vibe⛩ Please visit here again😊

[@fugdesoare]

I so totally agree!! Benji seems to fit perfectly in Nara and Kyoto! I would also love to visit Japan one day omg

[@user-ep6sg9wg5s]

私は日本人です。いつも動画を拝見しています。 日本にいらっしゃったんですね！ぜひお会いしたかった(笑) また遊びに来てくださいね！

[@user-ep6sg9wg5s]

I am Japanese. I always watch your videos. You were in Japan! I really wanted to meet you (laughs). Please come and visit us again!

[@tallasianchick]

fun fact: nara is a type of wood from narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus). really strong wood and expensive in the philippines :)

[@ailicampbell1626]

A viewer from Kyoto here! It was so refreshing and joyful to see my hometown from your point of view. Looking forward to your Tokyo Vlog!

[@daitasticc]

Some of my favorite memories in Japan are during rainy days. Looking forward to your video of Tokyo!

[@wizardkitty3015]

such a nostalgic feeling watching this, kyoto is definitely your place, your aura fits in so well

[@DeSireeAlicea19]

I too am obsessed with your tiny radio 😭 it’s so cute

[@jacquiheywood3142]

I love the calm and gentle vibe of your vlogs.

[@Purelylia]

The noise that deer in Nara made was so cute and sassy lol. Also (pretty sure it was that same moss, if not something extremely similar) that I used to find as a kid when I’d go exploring the woods in the northeast US. I used to think that moss would be perfect little pine trees for faeries ☺️🧚🏼🌲🦌

[@karenb136]

I loved this video. Looks like a lot of cool places to see. Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@mattharton]

so excited for the upcoming japan vlogs - this was a really unique take on cities around Kansai and Kyoto specifically. I've been there before but seeing the places you went really made me want to go back ... ugh lol great video!

[@iolaani]

I love these personal videos, I look forward to them so much 😊

[@Lilybythewater]

This vlog is so beautiful and calming!

[@lily-zb9yb]

Another subscriber from Kyoto here :) Enjoying your videos for months, it’s such a joy to see you guys exploring Japan. I hope the rest of your trip is filled with wonderful experiences!

[@rachelkey5753]

I’ve been so excited waiting for your Japan videos lollll. I totally remember waking up at 4-5am when I first got there too, I lived in Kyoto for a year and this felt so nostalgic! Going back for the first time in 10 years this November, I’m hypedddd.

[@3daysoff_]

[@kuhriynuh]

Your partner isn't allowed to be your best friend it's the rules 😤😤😤😆😆😆 also you should have had the deer bow go get their cookie! and I agree Osaka castle wasn't what I expected. Himeji castle was my favorite!
