Life in Tokyo, Japan | What is it like Living in Japan as Foreigners?

Come join us for our life in Tokyo, Japan vlog where we highlight what it is like living in Japan as foreigners by showing you a typical non-travel day where we do things like go grocery shopping, do our laundry, work on video editing and grab a cheap inexpensive local meal.
We start off the day by showing you guys our breakfast in our apartment in Tokyo which was basically just green tea, peanut butter, banana and bread. Afterwards we do a bit of work on our computers before heading out to do laundry.
Lunch consisted of visiting an inexpensive ramen joint where Audrey ordered a bowl of ramen and I had mixed rice with a sweet and sour glaze and shrimp.
Next up we picked up some fruit from a local vendor before doing some more filming work and having dinner in our apartment which consisted of sushi and red wine. To finish things off we show you around our neighborhood at night.
So yeah basically this is our life in Tokyo, Japan on a typical day. Do you have experience living in Japan as a foreigner? Let us know in the comments below.

Life in Tokyo, Japan | What is it like Living in Japan as Foreigners Travel Food Video Transcript:
Good morning guys. It is a Sunday here in Tokyo. And we thought we'd do something a little bit different. Like we've been out sightseeing. Filming food videos. Running around but obviously not everyday is like that. We wanted to do a casual a day in our life in Tokyo video on a rainy Sunday seems like a good idea. On a rainy Sunday. And we are just sitting down here at our chabudai which is a traditional Japanese table. Low to the ground. We are having breakfast. Yes. And the plan basically is yeah just going to be a day in the life in Japan so we are going to go out maybe show you our neighborhood. Maybe have some ramen for lunch. We've been talking about that.
We're thinking of doing laundry today. We have to do laundry. It has been a while. Our clothes don't magically clean themselves. No. We are also maybe going to go for a little walk there is a little stream nearby our house. Yes. So it is just going to basically be a typical day here in Tokyo, Japan. And we're also going to show you just what we get up to when we're not really doing a sightseeing day here. Yes. But first breakfast.
Laundry is done. Now it is time for lunch. Yes and so because I didn't have breakfast my appetite has been growing by the hour. I'm so ready for it whatever it is we have. We are not sure what is open on a Sunday but I think we're going to try the ramen spot that is nearby.
Yes there is one near the subway station that I've been to a couple of times. And it is super cheap and the noodles are really tasty.
We are heading back to our apartment now. Yep. I hope you guys enjoyed this day in the life vlog. Yeah. Getting to see what our daily routine in Tokyo has been like. Yeah. It has just been like we've been living here in Tokyo for quite a while so it is just cool to show you like what a slice of our life is like here. Yeah. Well by a while we mean like almost a month which for us is a long time when you're traveling full time. Oh and there is gate opening. Parking lot gate. But yeah I mean that was a little taste of what we get up to on days when we aren't filming or sightseeing. We were filming videos in our apartment but I mean yeah you get the idea. So yeah productive day. We made a whole bunch of videos. We did our laundry. We cleaned up the apartment and now I think we're going to go chill so we'll see you guys in the next video.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese cuisine.

Audrey, you never pour a liquid detergent directly over clothes. This is a way to make permanent stains on your clothes. There is usually a small canister where you add your detergent and the washing machine handles everything from that moment on. Hope this helps.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the lesson! Makes sense.

[@AnneEWilliamson]

I love this kind of video! It's so different from your usual type of video, but it's so cool to see your daily life in Japan. I'd love to see more videos like this!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Anne! We've had a few comments like this now so we'll really try our best to film more behind the scenes videos in 2019 :)

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Pretty much like our schedule in Tokyo lol. Running a KZbin channel is not easy, keep it up guys! 👍

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Ah, it is a lot of work isn't it?

[@channelabc123]

Thanks for the sharing the more authentic side of life in Tokyo! Typically don’t see this kind of stuff getting posted all over KZbin. Is there any significant language barrier with day-to-day activities off the beaten path where you both are?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! In terms of language barrier there definitely is one. In restaurants without English menus and customer service you'll likely just have to point and smile or gesture to get things you want.

[@Nezumi-kun]

Audrey, the liquid you used for washing was a bleacher... but fortunately that was for coloured fabric. I did similar mistake in Spain. I was using softener instead... When you miss the European food, you can go to "Seijo-Ishii" or "KALDI" They are a bit expensive though. To get cheaper fruits from no-name small shops are very good idea, I agree. I have enjoyed you guys video a lot.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know! Our mistake with that...lol

[@okazo81]

that's right ! this is bleach.

[@spark_6710]

Wow!SEIJO ISHI !!!NOSTALGIA! LOL I GREW UP IN SEIJO & SOSHIGAYA! LOL.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Love these day in the life videos!!!!🙂 It is nice to get to know you guys more and what you get up to behind the scenes👍 We have been doing some fasting too in this past year. I ( Adam) lost around 10 kilo in a month fasting😲 You guys are the cutest couple on KZbin!!! Love it👍🙂🙂

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Huge congrats with that! What was your fasting protocal for that month?

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

@@samuelandaudrey We had 3 - 4 fast days a week - on those days we would eat just one evening meal. Hard to begin with but you soon get into the swing and it's a great technique/life lesson to learn 🙂....even better when you see the pounds sliding off!!!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is incredible! That sounds similar to something called alternate day fasting where on alternate beteween one meal and then a day of regular eating and then a day of fasting and so on. Way to go as it is not easy to be that disciplined.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

@@samuelandaudrey Yes, was hard work but worth it. Then we have a break for a while. Good luck with yours mate :)

[@GuillermoLucero]

Audrey's editing is really good! I didn't know she was doing that part, can't imagine how time-consuming must be specially on the road. Mad props to her for the excellent work!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Guillermo! The editing always takes much longer than the shooting.

[@renatalimarzi]

Nice to see how you spent a "normal" Japanese day in Tokyo guys! Love your vids! Me too I prefer when you are together!!! Hugs! Renata

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you Renata! We sure enjoyed staying in this area.

[@BradyLMarshall]

12:16 I don't blame you, Sam. You chose to pickup sushi, a popular Japanese dish here in America, during your visit in the capital city of Japan!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Brady! I never ate so much sushi in my entire life. It was glorious - especially those nightly sales at the supermarket.

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

I loved watching this! It's nice to see what the behind the scenes day's are like as well as the major travel days! Helps show its not all exploring! :D

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to film this type of video.

[@brunogambini5683]

Great ramen you had, and also very cheap! The neighborhood you were staying looked very nice, a lot different from all the other sites of Tokyo packed with lights and shops.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Bruno! It was a real find. Actually since we were far enough away from touristy areas we found prices to be very reasonable.

[@effie-montreal]

I enjoyed this video so much I loved watching you guys have a typical day in Tokyo Great video I watched it 3X

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Effie! This is what a non-travel day looks like for us...haha

[@roarmaus]

You guys should do a travel t-shirt tour. Just stand and (?stop motion/flipbook-ish?) through your collections. Wear the same trousers/bottoms and speed through each shirt. Overlay the date/place. Do eet!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! That is definitely an idea for a future video :)

[@marsdoria189]

Love your videos. I can't wait for your future uploads.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! More coming soon from Japan.

[@susankennedy6351]

Yiipppeeee!!!! Audrey finally got her peanut butter sandwich. Really lovely video you two. It's always nice to see the every day aspects of a place along with the attractions. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Susan! That peanut butter tasted so good...haha

[@terrywilkins7914]

The wifey & I discussed what it would be like living in Japan. This series of videos give us insight of that. Thanks fam!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@ukrainianballet_unofficial1344]

I love when Samuel describes something as "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy" :)) Can't wait to see the Kit-Kat video...

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha...thank you very much! Coming soon!

[@しょーちゅーこーるい]

あなたが手にしていたボトルは漂白剤（bleacher）ですね、多分。洗剤も別に入れた方がいいです。あと、色柄ものに漂白剤を直にかけると色落ちする場合も有りますよ～。

[@samuelandaudrey]

すべてのヒントや提案をありがとう。ここでミスをしました。

[@user-sx3mw4cq8k]

I thought she just added the bleach for that, cos the washing soap comes out automatically later. I’m not sure though.

[@しょーちゅーこーるい]

I thought it might be so. However, Japanese goods often do not correspond to English, so they thought that there was also a mistake. I ’m sorry for my GOOGLE English.

[@dhanurekha6978]

Rain has really given a washed off look to the streets and pavements.That must be a welcome shower! Blessed!! :-) Wishes from Chennai.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! It really did help clean the streets. Ah, Chennai! We loved visiting there. I'll have videos coming out from Chennai in a few weeks time.

[@tiredoffools8929]

Tokyo is awesome and so are you guys! Thank you for you doing what you do!

[@samuelandaudrey]

AH, thank you very much!!!

[@chicagosun]

I adore you guys and always look forward to your videos! I really loved this relaxed “day in the life of Audrey & Sam” kind of video. Just the normalcy of doing laundry, lunch/dinner, and a walk around the neighborhood is a nice way to shake things up sometimes.

[@chicagosun]

I also loved Audrey’s excitement over PB (and amen to chunky pb!!!) I remember the same excitement when I was in Rome. After days of pasta, pizza and gelato, we found a small asian market where we found cup ramen! It was the best cup ramen ever!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We'll try to make more like these in the future.

[@samuelandaudrey]

It is just the best when you've been craving something for ages to finally get your hands on it!

[@user-mn9kr8iz8d]

You will feel comfortable in the Tokyo,have a great time

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We really enjoyed living there.

[@dbwatx931]

Nice video! I do hope you traveled outside of Tokyo and Osaka. The countryside is beautiful!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! We sure did. The rest of our trip after Tokyo is rural Japan and we loved it!

[@Lalunabreeze]

Loved this❤️👍🏼. Nice, this just shows the real life...

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! We'll try to make more videos like this :)

[@EbefrenRevo]

I was thinking : yes, they have very stressful lifes with no real job to do like the rest of us !! but after a while : she have to editing any single day many hours a day, they have to do almost a new video a day finding new interesting content and also work on the channel etc... If that not sound like a work to you. A nice work around the world but still..a real job. Continue like this guys, i will follow you anywere.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Ebefren. The truth is that we love what we do but we put in insane weekly hours of about 65 to 80 of work each week to keep our business going.

Your father Audrey is amazing. I love his stories, and share a passion of wine and cooking.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Rebecca! We're really enjoying filming with him.

[@neeners4266]

Really enjoyed this video, thank you! I like to see the more neighborhood-y stuff, as well as get an idea of how much things like laundry cost. Have you made, or are you considering making, a video that talks about what your average daily costs are if you are visiting and sightseeing? What about a video that shares your favorite restaurants and attractions? Loved the cat cafe one. Thanks again!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We plan to do some cost related videos at the end of our series. Budget travel tips and ways you can save money traveling in Japan :)

Hey,you guys are in ?/ went to Tokyo!? Was this place Shin Okubo? Ikebukuro!? You did really good jobs on bugetting it seems like! IMPRESSIVE!Btw., it's CHYABUDAI NOT CHIBUDAI.LOL.( pronounce as cha-bu-dai)CHA = TEA & DAI = A TABLE boh in old expressions. Not many young generations use those words ,I wonder. Sushi on go is more recent ,newer custom, when I grew up & even when I visited there ,there was no such a thing ! As sushi was a high end gourmet food! Kitkat is my all time favorite snack( believe ,it was originally from u.k.!?) & we do have lots of flavors there which are available only inJapan!So,enjoy 'em while you can! Lol. I'm so glad that you're enjoying everything there!( hope).I'm looking forward to watch more of your videos! Thanx for posting this one! 👍👏😘👏

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Appreciate you correcting us on that. We sure enjoyed living in this area of Tokyo. It had a nice neighborhood and local feel as opposed to a tourist one yet we could be on the metro and anywhere in the city very easily.

[@morisoba2550]

Some people call it Omu-Rice, but it's not. I know it because I'm Japanese. Omu-Rice is fried chicken rice and omlette with tomato sauce. But this one is chinese style fried rice with shrimp omlette with sweet soure sauce. This chinese style Japanese omlette is called Tenshin-don (actually this dosen't exist in China). Japan have many Chinese style food called Chuuka (Chuuka means Chinese cuisine in Japanese). Once in a while Ramen had been callled Chuuka soba (Chinese noodles) in Japan. Chuuka (Ramen, Gyoza and so on) and Japanese Curry Rice have become Japanese national food. Japanese style Western cuisine also has become Japanese national food, which is called Yoshoku. Foreigners may think Japanese eat lots of Sushi and raw fish, but in the reality Japanese eat tons of foreign base food daily. Probably avarage Japanese eat Sushi or raw fish just once a month. Many Japanese eat more Western style breakfast than Japanese traditional breakfast (Rice, Miso soup, Fish and Vegies).

[@cimajeenvet]

A very natural and laid back video^^ That typical Japanese house and rooms with tatamis is a rare place to stay. How did you find the house? Audrey, fish skin contains lots of collagen and good for keeping your skin healthy^^

Hey Audrey & Sam, looked like your day was pretty much like everybody elses. Lol. Love the walking and apartment tour videos....0 and of course the street food. I remember when I had to go to the laundromat and there was a bar across the street. Well of course I use to put my clothes in the washer and high tail it across the street and get a beer and a berger. My friends could never really understand why I loved laundry day. Lmao. Until next time, keep safe from Bethlehem Pa.

“Laundromat” was coined in the 1950s by analogy with “automat”-an automated self-service restaurant- to label an automated self-service laundry. People unaware of this history often mistakenly deconstruct the word into “laundry mat” or “laundrymat.” ; )

Thanks Lisa! Hahaha...when it is involving food I sure do ;) We stayed for a full month. All of June.

[@foodandspiritz6330]

@@samuelandaudrey It's the only way to do it. Heading off to Portugal/inspired by you guys, Spain, and Romania in the spring. You've gotta get yer father back in the videos, he's truly your drinking pal.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Lisa! We'll be heading to Argentina with him soon. Very excited about that :)

[@Kessina1989]

Yeah! IKEA cups! :-D

[@samuelandaudrey]

They are great!

[@karthik-ex4dm]

Just a question, You guys don't dry in the sun in the us during summers? or is it too cold even in summer for the clothes to dry? As UV in sun can do wonders!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

We didn't have a proper laundry line otherwise we would have done that.

[@wowamy4196]

Most people in urban areas don't dry on a clothes line. We use a dryer. I hang my work clothes up to dry but inside. Where I live in the summer it is so hot the sun can fade your clothing very quickly.

6:06 nepalese resturant. That looks so good

[@samuelandaudrey]

Good eye!

[@AKB_48]

Really enjoy your vids guys ! So Tokyo or India ? Which do you prefer and why ?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Ah, like comparing apples with oranges. Such entirely different experiences. To be honest both were dream trips so to have them both happen in one year was special :)

Thanks for letting us know Monika :)

[@Lalunabreeze]

How many videos do you try to make in a ?? Month. I know it depends on where you at and travel. Just wondering... Really enjoyed this video. TY👍🏼❤️

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Sarah! Now when we're on the road we try to make at least one or more video on average per day. So a 60 day trip we'd like 60+ videos. We don't film every single day but we do make 2-3 videos on some days and have a pure work day on others.

[@Lalunabreeze]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thanks so much for answering my questions. That’s lots of videos. Which is probably the easy part or funnier.. Funnier lol. The / editing is prob a lot more work. Thanks again

[@estelagarcia6579]

You choose your apartment near the Korean town!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Estela! Indeed, we have a few videos coming up of us exploring that area :)

[@nyantsuki1061]

Hey guys, how do I find these kind of cheap fruit/veggie no name shops? Do they have a specific name? My sis is going to live in Tokyo for a longer period of time starting in September this year..so we are looking for information for a good start. Thank you in advance and thanks a lot for your lovely videos! Greetings from rainy Germany

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Nyan! You'll notice them when you walk around your neighborhood. I'd say if you cover a 4-4 block radius of wherever you're staying you'll find one for sure. They tend to offer prices considerably cheaper than produce in a bigger grocery store.

[@malvinsurbakti]

More daily vlog please

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Malvin! We'll try to make more like these in the future.

[@ben08820]

Wow! You guys know kimchi fried rice^^

Gracias!

I need to stay at a place longer than a week during my travels.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear. We feel the same way now as we really get to know a place better if we stay longer.

[@imrannaser3020]

Hey Audrey how you doing. I guess you are in Canada atm & it's about the afternoon or round abouts 🦌 Sam must be back from out in India .

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Imran! We're back in Canada and today it is close to -20! Brrrr....how is the weather for you?

[@imrannaser3020]

@@samuelandaudrey -20 is insanely cold by comparison here in Rawalpindi Pakistan northern Punjab region of the Indian Sub continent the max is about 15 & a minimum of 3°C would seem positively balmy but it's cold enough to be using room heaters I think it's one of the driest areas of the world it's rained just a few times.we r close to the foothills of the Karakorums, infact they begin from here onwards & they've had snow recently. Winters I guess is the best season here. Have fun.cheers🌨️

[@samuelandaudrey]

I know a lot of people would prefer warmer weather but that sounds pretty nice to me.

Sam you lost weight! Good for you!
