That effort for setting the camera from the hotel room and filming both of you driving away from the parking lot. That is mad respecttttt!

[@miichellelim]

You're definitely my favourite vlogger! I love the aesthetics, the colour and videography in every vlog you've put out. Would love to know how you colour and plan these vlogs!

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@mirarosli230]

This video (and a cup of tea) is just exactly what I needed to relax and take my mind off from a bad day of work.

[@clc410]

Same!!!

[@cgc76]

Guys, I must compliment you on how beautifully this video was shot Thanks for this!

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

Thank you for another wonderful vlog!! Just by watching it, we can see how much work you both put into it and appreciate the location you add on the screen and we love the perfect amount of everything you put…from the music to the music. We do love it when you both talk and narrated the experience. ❤❤. We look forward to your videos weekly. It’s so calming and entertaining and informative.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I love your channel. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I connect to your great enthusiasm and dedication to hunting down aesthetically glorious places with character and a sense of authenticity; all the incredible cafes, kissaten and tea houses to be found all over the world and people STILL film themselves going to Starbucks. There are some people out there I will NEVER understand. Love everything you post. 🥰🥰💖

[@lsoverjoyed2072]

my partner and i have been binge watching your vlogs for 2 weeks now and we can see how much you put effort and hard work in every vid!!! thank you for sharing this piece of your life ❤ love the songs, and the quality of every vid....is a chef's kiss! hi from Manila 👋🏻

[@Jj-np7cn]

:( I know your Japan trip is over, but I hope you visit there again!! I love watching your videos, I don't know why but watching all your Japan videos gives me a sense of peace, that I replay most of it lol.

[@jl.ishere]

Your vlog is something that I’m looking forward to every week 🥹 I really enjoy your aesthetic and I can see how much time, effort and passion you put on your videos. Please keep up the good work!! You guys are my fav vloggers 🩷🙆🏻‍♀️

[@sohostitch]

Hello from Singapore! It always makes me super happy to see your thumbnail on my KZbin feed. I love all your travel vlogs and I enjoy every minute of it. I am also making mental notes for my trip to Japan next year. I even have a whole list of your videos saved in my Travel playlist now and hopefully I will be able to visit these places one day. Thank you for all the great videos!

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you! I’m sure you’ll have a great time and glad the videos can help your planning!

[@serinakhor2727]

Awesome! ❤Always loved your Japan vlogs. Is my favourite Asian country n never gets bored with it. Thanks Sam n Victor 😘

[@txteach]

Loved everything about this vlog! Perfect for rainy day Sunday morning viewing. Kawagoe is now on my 🇯🇵 list! ❤

[@crumbcrumb]

I studied abroad for 6 months and lived in Kawagoe with a host family. It's so awesome to relive my time there through this travel vlog. Thank you for making this video, I was flooded with Nostalgia and warm memories seeing so many of the familiar sights.. the city bus.. the street walk, the station.. everything. I'm glad you had a wonderful time there! :)

[@liniment_]

im so happy and thankful i found your channel before visiting japan earlier this summer and that i can look back on the best journey of my life through your wonderful vlogs as well :') loving your videos and the style of them so much!!

[@BrendaQuinnCanada]

Your comments and attention focus on content and culture not on trends or algorithms. This is incredibly interesting and genuine and i so appreciate that you are yourselves; engaging and not trying to be someone who was popular in high school or university. So refreshing!! Best regards, safe travels; your work is so valuable for actual people who aren’t trying to be someone else.

[@janetgetfab]

The aesthetics, music especially in the first 10 mins and photos series are so good! One of my fav vlogs to-date!

[@SchoolOfAlchemy]

I binged watch your videos and all I can say is I like the slow pace, the cafes, the desserts, and all those kawaii stuff that you showed. Excellent editing. Happy travels!

[@madhurimac9700]

You make the most relaxing travel vlogs ever!! Making a note of every small detail for when I travel Japan. Lots of love from India (Kolkata). Come to my city too someday!

[@supermeepsdubai383]

Kawagoe was one of the towns I stayed in during my first ever Japan trip. Thank you for bringing the memories rushing back with such beautiful videography and editing - I’m so glad you explored this town 🤗 I kind of want to go back now?! 😂

[@themrgumbatron]

Nice sharing of a lesser traveled part of Japan. Great episode, looking forward to next weeks vlog already.

[@mogwaii2987]

This is so…peaceful 🥺✨

[@lisama4903]

Really enjoyed this vlog, so relaxed and cozy. The music you choose is always so good! Really suits the mood . My fav were the bell wind chimes. You could nearly feel the breeze flowing through them. Loving this summer series in Japan . What are the differences, you find , between going as a tourist, and staying like a local ? ❤

[@sherifattia2207]

I watch your videos literally every morning while having my breakfast and coffee ❤ they give me peace of mind 🙏 please consider coming to Egypt.. i recommend el Gouna it’s a beautiful resort overlooking the red sea with great restaurants and coffee shops it will be a good fit for your videos 👍🏼

[@sol.travel.guides]

Watching from Spain! Love to see Japan in your vlogs again! We are visiting next month!

[@theehappysunflower]

Looking at how you guys are dressed I would’ve never guessed it’s 35+ there right now!! 😮 congrats on 200k! I remember you waiting at your desk to hit 100k, so so deserved. Thanks for blessing us with your art & experiences ❤

[@alwaysaik]

Amazing that KAWOGOE is so close to Tokyo - looks like a completely different world. I watch all you vlogs with SHAZAM on - always such a great playlist 🎶 lots of love from Australia x

[@michalscheepers8468]

hi, the first video that I watched of you guys was the 36 cafes in Tokyo and because of it my husband and I went to Ryota sushi and we LOVED it!!! We just came back from Japan a few weeks ago and I miss it so much. I highly recommend renting a jeep with a roof tent from "overland japan" and just explore the nature of Japan. Your videos are so relaxing and calm❤

[@SamandVictor]

Wooo will look into that!

[@jenellecollazo2183]

Loving the Japan summer series! As usual the esthetics and music are on point...also loved the shout-out to Kendrick Lamar's euphoria 😆.

[@seal_l_l]

Thank you for the calm and beautiful video 🙂 greetings from Estonia, EU 🙂

I love it for storytelling but every time I see the camera set up before you enter a room or after you leave it makes me laugh. Beautiful vlog as always ❤

[@shelleyscloud3651]

Random but...”I heard the tinkling of glass wind chimes & decided to walk in”...what a beautiful sentence. Should be the first line of a novel.

You guys find the BEST coffee shops & little cafes. Forever adding them to my "Future Visits" list.

My hobby is just scrolling on google maps looking for cute cafes and pinning them 😂

I just gotta know when you left the hotel in the car and the camera was recording, DID IT RECORD THE ENTIRE TIME YOU WERE GONE JUST FOR THIS SHOT? Or did you return for it??? THE DEDICATION FOR CONTENT IS SUPERB.

[@Aestheticsbyj]

Its a very common shot and they did return to take their camera

Hey, Sam and Victor. I’m Ai from Tokyo. Unfortunately we had a very bad storm the other day and those wind chimes roof got destroyed completely and they won’t have them back for this year. 😢 Lucky you got to see them.

Oh what did this happen recently??

[@ailove8787]

@@SamandVictor oh my information is incorrect, it’s not about the shrine ones but the shopping arcade ones in Kawagoe. The weather’s been crazy, we have storms like south east Asia now. A bad thunderstorm struck yesterday around lunch time. It was so windy.

Hi I just watch your vlog @ Kawagoe!! It’s very impressive!!! I have never been there even I’m living Tokyo over 30 years. Maybe next holiday. I would like to recommend for your short trip , Kamakura or Karuizawa ! Both are very famous resorts! Kamakura is just one and half hours from central Tokyo and Karuizawa also same if you take Shinkansen ! Please check it out!

I’d do a day trip if I were you but depends if you’ve been to Japan before? You can also do hakone or kamakura but each city has a diff vibe
