[@DaneAndStacey]

Beyond excited to share this Japan series, it’s a dream come true. Our friends at Jetstar helped make it happen, so be a legend and book here for your next trip ❤ bit.ly/4fK5aKq

[@jayamannaasanthika5414]

when did you travel to Japan? In Autumn?

[@ElijahIckes]

Yes! I’m stoked for this! I visited Japan about twelve years ago and remember enjoying every moment.

[@オヤジ牛ちゃん]

ようこそ日本へ 楽しんでいる様子が愛らしいです

[@Catherine.B.]

Japan is my dream destination too. So happy you made it there, Dane and Stacey, and looking forward to this series 💛✨

[@DaneAndStacey]

So happy we can show you how excited you’ll be for your trip when you make it happen - it is worth it!

[@Catherine.B.]

@ Thank you so much for that and your content, it’s inspiring 🥰

[@necromancersorcerer2196]

Just in time for our holiday in March, thanks you two! ❤❤❤

[@DaneAndStacey]

Hope you have a great time, Japan is amazing!

[@madisonlaine2682]

I reckon it will end up being your favourite. I am already planning our next trip. I feel like it's a country you can keep going back to, there are so many places to explore.

[@AngelaBahrij]

So happy for you guys. 🎊

[@nikkilogan7726]

Love Japan! Thanks guys! 😎💖🎌🗾⛩🗻

[@Hamzakhan-dt3gv]

Japan is one of my bucket list

[@DaneAndStacey]

Can confirm it 100% should be! It's AMAZING!

[@MHD008]

Japan is my dream Country for Travel 😢❤️

[@MargaretFromLublin]

Seeing this much of sheer excitement coming from you guys, who travelled half the Earth, is only making me want to go to Japan more ❤️ this is my dream since always.

[@vahid_youtube]

Can't wait for your Kyoto vlog 🥂

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

I don’t understand how you don’t have millions of subscribers…

[@DaneAndStacey]

Now you’re gonna go make us blush 🥰 thank you! KZbin’s been good to us over the years but we’ve never ‘blown up’ - we love our life either way. Thanks for being part of it.

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

@ awww honestly you two could do a food tour of a bombed out wreck and I’d immediately want to go there!

[@clint2021]

You guys do the best videos. You deserve way more views than you get

[@DaneAndStacey]

Awww we appreciate that, thank you ☺️

[@harumarina0320]

Hello! Thank you for speaking highly of Japan! I can imagine how wonderful you might feel about the wonderful 711 in Japan. Very different from most western countries , we Japanese always put effort for making food even if it’s a cheap product. Also, one thing we want to remind you all, it is not polite to speak too loud outside which is seen as making troubles to the others. This is the core value in Japan. Please respect our culture and vale when you are visiting Japan.

[@christianacosta3776]

I’m traveling to Japan in April. Just came across your channel and I love the energy, excitement and information in these videos. Keep’em coming. I have subscribed. Thanks for all this content. Greetings from New Jersey, USA.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks, you too - hope you had a nice break! Glad you're excited, Japan is a dream and we can't wait to share more

[@kirihemmingson8596]

The way you guys explained how you feel about Japan are alllll the exact same things hubby and I said to one another about this place 😂 only a few days in and love it here already!

[@tobiasdiehl4156]

一蘭ラーメンはファストフード店だからほとんど行かないけど、そんなお店でさえ褒めてくれるなんて嬉しいわ できれば店主がこだわりのブレンドでスープや麺を作ってる個人店のラーメンを食べてほしいな

[@Kiwi-Macca]

You became DANE and Stacey, I hadn't noticed earlier. I believe that was proving difficult so well done! Now I should watch the vid!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Haha yeah we did, new year, new name - nobody's really said anything (good eyes by the way!) cos it's similar, but it was confusing for people. We'd get stopped in the street and they would say hi Stacey and uurrghh Dan-e-gar orrrr? Confusing. Easier now... anyway, enjoy!

[@VietKieuLongNguyen]

GZZZZZ ON 200K 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@DaneAndStacey]

Wooo thanks!

[@petern6808]

Awesome that you did the go carting! I just got back and did it in Shibuya…..scary at first but awesome for sure 🇯🇵 🇨🇦 Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures!

[@shaundupreez4233]

Great video! I would highly recommend Ramen Tatsunoya in shinjuku - Unreal how good their ramen is

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ooh, good to know, adding that to the list! We love ramen now!

[@nyankocyuki]

池袋駅にある無敵屋が好きです、並んでますが。

[@meganduong]

I saw the IG story pop up and was like ooooooh and made my husband watch it with me. Happy New Year you two!! Can’t wait for the other videos.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Shout out to hubby for putting up with us 😉 Thanks for the love and excitement - lots more to share. And happy NY to you both too!

[@meganduong]

@@DaneAndStacey he has said to me plenty of times that you guys are one of his favorite people on KZbin. Certified Dane and Stacey #1 fan over here. Lol.

[@DaneAndStacey]

lol we love that, thanks for the laugh and good vibes 🫶

[@RamisesRayla]

Even before i'am not trying eating Ramen but I know it is so good... 😋😋 Hopefully I am trying to eat this delicious Ramen.... 😋😋👍

[@Oliver-d1t]

So glad you finally made it! So jealous, I miss it there.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks! We loved it - was more than we hoped for in every way! You gotta get back

[@RamisesRayla]

I like your video about food. Speaking food about Ramen ichiran japan. Or country japan is famous food it's ramen. It is so good. I've never trying this before eating Ramen. But in japan ichiran it's the best Ramen.. I watch your video. I really enjoy... Stay safe your trip in japan.. 😋😋👍

[@_spartan11796]

Top of my list!

[@DaneAndStacey]

It's worth the hype!

[@BioticEmu]

Assuming you're still in Tokyo. Theres a great udon place called tsuru ton tan in roppongi. Amazing food there. And if you want something on the stranger side theres the unko museum over in odaiba.

[@Zerobar78.]

I can't wait to see Japan, it's right there with NZ in my top places to visit. I will admit, their food is so vastly different from anything I've tried(even when I lived in Hawaii a couple years) I'm nervous about trying their foods, but some of it looks amazing and I'm sure once I get to smell it I should be fine. If I end up not going to Germany this year I will end up in Japan for sure! Looking forward to your next video!

[@BeautifulJapaneseMusicandMen]

Wow, that looks delicious! You're very good with chopsticks!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks so much! Lots of practice in Asia 🥰

[@BeautifulJapaneseMusicandMen]

@@DaneAndStacey👏👏👏

[@alanaroselindsay88]

I ate one of those creme brulee ice creams every single day hahah they are so good

[@DaneAndStacey]

They’re the best! So cheap and accessible

[@raheltd]

Yes! I couldn't wait for the Japan series to start 😍😍😍

[@Komainu1109]

日本を選んでくれて有り難う。🙇

[@kellyh4344]

I was in Japan March of last year and it was such a great trip so watching you guys here is bringing back such great memories! Konbini food & ichiran ramen ❤️ wish I could go back again this year

[@DaneAndStacey]

Glad you've had the chance to experience Ichiran as well! Worth going back just for that isn't it? 🤣

[@kellyh4344]

@ oh 100% 😂

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

We love ❤❤ Japan. We have been many times. Hope to go back very soon. Tokyo has a special place in our heart.The seven prefectures of Tokyo are all worth visiting, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa,ibaraki ,Tochigi, Gunma and Yamanashi The food, any cuisine take your pick. And you got to love those vending machines. It's all good. All the best guys ❤ Sending you much love from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki🐕 P.S. How is Nalu doing ?

[@nyankocyuki]

東京の周りの県のほうが落ち着きますね！

[@emmah3]

Exicited for the rest of the series. I went last April/May so its fun to relive Japan again from fellow kiwis. The govt metro view was so cool for a free viewpoint. The queue was a bit longer when I went (but the wait wasnt too bad). Lived off the convenience store pancakes, danishes and katsu chicken 😂 Had the best ramen from somewhere in Shibya and it was kinda funny cause everyone around me when I was there struggled to finish cause the bowl was so giant. I felt bad about potentially not finishing because it was sooo good that I forced myself to finish it even though my flight home was later that day. Had the potential for that to not be a wise idea (just because of the amount of liquid - was probably a litre or so) but luckily it didnt impact me at all.

[@nyankocyuki]

ラーメン屋は良い、悪いがあります！ 一蘭ラーメンが無難ですね！

[@sizzlemann]

Good timing! We're headed to Tokyo in March for 6 weeks!

[@nyankocyuki]

ラーメンは一蘭か家系ラーメン。

[@RachelDickey-q9e]

What a great video and brings back all the feels from my first trip ! I need to go back, can’t wait for part 2!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Glad you're feeling inspired to go back, you should! Part 2 is coming... and 3, and 4, and looooaddds more!

[@moniquefahy3695]

Guys your filming in this is just gorgeous!! It seriously encapsulates and translates the essence of your experience!! Please share what camera you used? 🤞🏼

[@lukedmac19]

Hey guys, love the vid! Just wondering what camera you use to film your vids? looks great

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks! We use the Sony ZV-E1, links with lenses etc are in the description

[@Yumi-chan-k5p]

Welcome to Japan! Please enjoy!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks so much -we LOVE it

[@あとらすATLAS]

Good thing to learn restaurants with no translations for foreigners are highly rated from locals.

[@JP_world_traveller]

Two kiwi female friends of mine live in Tokyo but one of them from Chch whose she lived in Auckland for 7 years before she moved to Kyoto,Japan then she had lived in Kyoto for ten years before she moved to Tokyo. Other whose she is from Welly has been living in Tokyo since 2008. another kiwi mate whose he is from Dunedin lives in Kobe or mainly Northern Kyoto prefecture,Japan. next video seems to be filmed in Osaka so on . actually I was born in Osaka prefecture,Japan so I am looking forward to seeing it. cheers

[@digitallife9757]

Wow cute couple ❤Welcome to Japan 🎉

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks so much!

[@kei07210]

Welcome to Japan💓 Recommended Japanese food to try are eel, tempura, yakitori, soba, and udon. As for alcoholic beverages, plum wine, highballs, beer, and brandy are also delicious. Milk is also surprisingly tasty, much to the surprise of foreigners. Try coffee jelly, too. You can find it at convenience stores. The place I would like you to visit is Miyajima in Hiroshima! I hope you enjoy Japan✨✨

[@nyankocyuki]

新宿いいよね！なんでもある！一蘭ラーメンは日本人も人気で好きだよ！

[@bookwormfaith]

Japan!!! Niiiiiiiice~ Enjoy guys! (ps did you go to the govt building at night? they've a light show projected onto the building!)

[@greenrosebluebird]

日本を楽しんでくれて、日本人としてもとても嬉しいです！

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thank you!! 🫶

[@BullyHayes1977]

Okonomiyaki - Osaka-style - is the way to go!

[@Hamzakhan-dt3gv]

Nice video and I haven’t been to Japan

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks so much! Get there if you can - it's a dream

[@staceyv2025]

The best!!

[@DaneAndStacey]

I see you 👀

[@vickimcmillan3705]

I'm as excited as you two 🎉.. Japan is on my hit list 🙏.. especially with my my favourite couple 🤩👌🥢💜

[@DaneAndStacey]

Yay! Happy that you're happy - so much amazing stuff to share

[@12345fakestreet]

Man, the ichiran in Brooklyn is 20 bucks for the classic tonkatsu with tax and tips it's like 25 bucks. That's 3942 yen!!!! meanwhile it's only 1080 yen in Japan. It's 4 times more expensive. Nuts!!

[@DaneAndStacey]

It's a pretty wild difference, but hey, gotta love the experience, right? Assuming it's still tasty there?

[@nyankocyuki]

ブルックリン一蘭高いですね！　日本は全部安いですよ！

[@paulcole]

Seriously why is it you always go somewhere like 2 months before us 😂😂 Bali, Queensland, NZ (let you off that one lol) But actually it’s really weird, and also actually great cos we always get a nice little guide pre trip 💪🏻

[@davebratley697]

Really looking forward to this series, I'm going to Japan in April. Looking forward to some great tips. Have fun guys.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Awesome! You're going to love it! Everything we know about Japan is here if you're interested: geni.us/japanguide

[@Justgregular88]

I've been to Japan 5 times, it was my first place overseas and it NEVER stops being exciting

[@orvillehenry6479]

I’m so thankful for this series to enjoy Japan in person next year.

[@DaneAndStacey]

You're going to love it! Hope we can help with some ideas for your own trip

[@orvillehenry6479]

@ I am confident and excited for all ideas for this trip next year.

[@iross6644]

I was just in Japan for most of december! Hiked the Kumano Kodo for part of it

[@travelertrome8449]

Yay you guys finally made it to Japan! I am a longtime subscriber since your first trip to Thailand. I have been waiting for you guys to get here! I have been to Japan twice and love the culture! And the food! The Onsens are calling you! You guys are also dressed so nice in your black and white. Very Tokyo! Excited for this series!

[@kvom01]

There's nothing wrong with Ichiran ramen, but there are a lot of ramen varieties to try and many you might like better.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We’ve tried probably 8 other varieties at this point and nothing hits like Ichiran - we love that rich broth!

[@edwardduarte5123]

I will be there 4/25/25

[@DaneAndStacey]

Whoop! Enjoy - we know you will

[@travelingkakabsat]

How fun!!

[@FunkyChild718]

Damn, surprised that this was your first time in Japan. For me, Thailand and Japan are definitely at the top of my favorite country list. It's a very magical place.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Yeah we're a bit late to the party, but Japan is magical for sure! We were booked in 2020...but... well, you know what happened back then 🤣

[@DouglasKnight-i6d]

Doug here thanks for the reply

[@DaneAndStacey]

Cheers Doug - enjoy the video! Sorry for the slow reply

[@lucy.loves.travel]

Japan has always been high on my bucket list but this video just helped make it to #1! Can't wait for the rest of the series. Your excitement is contagious! ❤

[@chriskatzer]

200k incoming! just came back from two weeks osaka and kyoto, japan is just amazing. looking forward to your japan series!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks so much! It kind of snuck up on us and we've passed 200k now :) Hope you had the best trip!

[@chriskatzer]

@@DaneAndStacey 🥳🥳

[@Psychphuq]

I enjoy Japan so much, I went twice in 2024... Feb for snow & ice festival, Nov for fall / autumn colours... Soooo much delicious, affordable food options to try... Also cheap (but Quality) beers... 🍻

[@真季野口]

Welcome to Japan! Each region in Japan has its own seasonal specialty products. I hope that many viewers will watch this video and become more interested in Japan. Also, if you have the opportunity, I would like you to visit Yamagata, where I live. The Snow Monsters 👾 at Zao Onsen Ski Resort ⛷️ are famous, as are the wagyu steaks 🥩 and fruits 🍎 here. Yamagata's ramen 🍜 is also the best ✨ As for convenience stores, I also recommend Lawson's "Karaage-kun".

[@emanyu7556]

Hold up....why did I think you've been to Japan already?!!! 😅

[@DaneAndStacey]

Nope! Always been number one on our bucket list - a trip got canned around the pandemic after we said we would go, but finally made it!

[@ianpaterson3092]

Sorry guys Japan is on our list but the youtube adds have almost made your video unwatchable which is sad.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thank you for the heads up!! They’re automatically input at times and sometimes it just goes weird - was it lots? Or close together? We’ll take a look 👍🏼

[@ianpaterson3092]

@DaneAndStacey It was every 2 minutes then it would go to an A.I add which is weird we had to re start the video 4 tines but don't worry we will still keep watching. We are cruising from Yokohama in November.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We appreciate the heads up! It has to be a balance and we just checked and there was some weird doubling up going on - we have limited control but should be better now.

[@connorrobinson45]

Did you obtain permission to film inside 711? Convenience shop like 711 are still considered private premises in Japan, and for places like these, you need permission to film, especially for content intended for KZbin or other social media platforms.

[@dittohead7425]

When I went to the city building observation deck it was a cold rainy day and what I noticed was Japan has some of the cleanest and most orderly homeless folks. They were in that underground area. Not in the walkway areas but along the road/sidewalk that splits the building.they were neat and clean. Not like the scum we have in Vegas...
