Kamakura and Shibuya Sky! INCREDIBLE Last Day in Tokyo

It's our last day! We headed to Kamakura and Enoshima for an unbelievably gorgeous experience and our grand finale was doing Shibuya Sky in Tokyo! Also, the flight home: was comfort plus a big downgrade from Premium Select on Delta (which we'd done on the way there)? Thank so much for watching!

Thank you for visiting and introducing to Japan. Japan looks forward to your return visit, because Japan shows a different appearance in each season. And remember, although Japan looks small, but it's actually the length from the northern tip of the United States (excluding Alaska) to over the Mexican border. If you compare the length of Japan with Europe, there is a length from the northern tip of Denmark to the Strait of Gibraltar across Spain. Can you imagine how varied there is to see and experience in such an area? No matter how many times you visit, there are new discoveries, that is Japan.

[@奥津勝平]

I am Japanese. I have never seen the people like you describing more accurately what Japan is like. As you mentioned, Japan looks small, but it is nearly the same size as California. A North island, "Hokkaido", is famous place for skiing and a lot of foreign tourists visit in winter, and a group of islands of Okinawa with beautiful beaches on the Southern tip of Japan is like a semi-tropical country and popular with people as a ideal place to spend summer time. There are much more places in Japan to visit and see than what you imagine.

Thank you, Jen, for allowing me to live vicariously through you! My mother is Japanese, sadly, I’m not sure I will ever get the chance to visit Japan, though. I thoroughly enjoyed your series, and was very moved by your appreciation and lovely comments about your time there!

[@JenLefforge]

It was such a challenge because there was no way to properly do it justice (not with my budget anyway;) but I hope my enthusiasm portrayed the story! Thank you so much for your kind words!

We're in Japan right now, thank you so much for this video, we've visited twice in a week, just because of how wonderful your recommendation was. The beach was wonderful even though an Eagle swooped down and stole my cake. Thank again and much love xx

[@JenLefforge]

Oh I love hearing that! Have a safe rest of your trip and enjoy every minute!

[@MargieHiguchi]

BOY, Jen!!!! You covered A LOT! LOL! Don’t know where or what to say but thank you for taking the time to cover all that you did. SO FUN! I never to get Kamakura because…well, it’s so close to Tokyo. LOL! I am glad you went inside the Big Buddha…he’s my favorite there. And YES, you get shrined out very easily in that country. #WaitTillKyoto HAHAHAHAHA!! What a fun break as I pack up for an AK Cruise - leaving for Seattle and then Monday is when we set sail. It’s a working vacation but I love what I do so it doesn’t feel like work. I hope you get a chance to go back to Japan. We’ll be there in the fall for my annual visit with family (+ getting caught up with a year’s worth of lecture from mom - LOL!). I look forward to your other adventures and life insights. I appreciate YOU BEING YOU!! Ugh...sorry for the long comment. LOL!!

[@JenLefforge]

I love it! I honestly feel like I need to go to Japan about 10 more times before I've even scratched the surface of this incredible place! Thank you for your kind words and enjoy the cruise that's amazing!

[@kcdarr]

OMG! Those building lights at night at that height are absolutely amazing!!!! What a great trip. Thank you again for taking us with you!! I always love the travel from my living room 🙂

That Buddha is cast entirely of bronze? It’s massive and so impressive to see up close! Your trip had made me realize there’s so much to see and do in Japan. I can’t believe all the adventures you took!

[@JenLefforge]

The trip was PACKED. I don't regret it but next time going to hopefully stay longer and build in some rest days! I was EXHAUSTED by the end (happy and at peace, but exhausted)

Hello there! I am Japanese living in Tokyo. I just love your positive attitude enjoying yourself throughout trip in Japan. Please come again in the near future. My hometown is Nara prefecture located just 1hour train ride from Kyoto/Osaka. It is ancient city with full of traditional cultures with roaming cute deers in the Nara park. Highly recommend if you have a chance to visit there.

[@JenLefforge]

I've heard of those deer! I will add it to my list for my next visit!

What a fantastic experience - I love when the art and experience of somewhere so different from home touches the soul.

[@JenLefforge]

I think about it a lot - it gave me the best part of travel in that I keep thinking about the experiences over and over now that I'm home. When the stress gets to be too much, I can go back there . . . .

[@neubro1448]

Been to both on my trip about two weeks ago. I hiked around Enoshima. I didn't want to spend too much time there not going to the garden or the cliffs. Didn't go to the Buddha statue having already done that before in the past. I did check the crossing by Kamakura Kokomae Station which attracted many tourists because it appeared in the intro of Slam Dunk. I went to Shibuya Sky on the afternoon before 4. Booked a ticket through Klook. Hours around sunset sell out fast.
