Great to see you back in Japan! I was there for 3 weeks last month, Okinawa, Fukuoka, Beppu, Mastuyama, Hiroshima and Kobe. Love Beppu♥️. Will you move back to Japan🤔

[@wegoeast]

It was great to be back! Very jealous of Okinawa, we only made it down there once and it was like paradise on earth! The beaches are better than the Caribbean in my opinion ⛱️ no plans to move back just yet but its certainly on the cards for the future!

Hey! You have made it back to jp. Feels like home away from home??? I didn't even know on culture day there were events going on. I just stayed home on that day :D.

[@wegoeast]

It definitely feels like home 🏡 much more so than the UK weirdly! We knew a couple of things were happening on culture day but usually we head to a museum or two as they're all free entry on culture day!

[@nowgaku]

Are you living in Japan now? Anyways enjoy japan!!

[@wegoeast]

Just visiting unfortunately (but never say never 😉). Just got back from 3 weeks where we did all the classics and some off the beaten path places! Lots of videos the edit and upload!

Hi guys. I clicked because I've watched your older Japan vlogs and quite enjoyed them, but I'm going to have to be *a little* bit critical of whoever was in charge of choosing the thumbnail: I love Senso-ji - especially late at night, when there's almost no one around - but I'd never heard of that little White Heron festival, and it looked interesting (the little kids with the ceremonial kimonos...). And yet instead of using a shot from that for the thumbnail (there's enough footage in there to justify it imo), you've gone for one from Ginza. And there's like, _a million_ vlogs that all look the same, with a large Tokyo tag right upfront... guess all I'm saying is that maybe you'd have more views ( if that's something you want ) if you rethink that thumbnail... 🙇‍♂ ( sorry. Probably I should just get myself a cup of tea, hey... 😅) Good to see you two back in old Nihon, even if it's just for a bit. Enjoyed this vlog too, by the way 🙏

[@wegoeast]

It has been amazing being back in good old JP. And we're always open to a bit of constructive criticism 😄 I couldn't find a still which I liked in time, so went with the (overused, you are correct) classic ginza pic. Our only other Tokyo video has an Asakusa thumbnail, so I thought a bit of variety wouldn't hurt (but maybe I'll change the other one to accommodate Sensoji in this vid!) 😀

[@kurofune.uragabay]

@@wegoeast Makes sense. Again, great to get a j-vlog from you! 🙏
