[@franziskaklaiber5768]

You guys are non stop eating!!!! "After all these snacks it is time for a Meal" hahahaha....I wished I had that Metabolism! But I did get some great Ideas from you. Shame you did not mention which curry shop the last one was...but I imagine there are plenty more.

[@bernadetteolivares2403]

You can just hand convenience stores’ cashiers all your coins as payment. They have a machine that counts it for them.

I’d love to stay here as a holiday home base. Do you have a video on Kamakura? If not I’d love that! Thanks ❤

[@Shenepoy]

26:55 50$ for both and hostel, I remember I stay at the same times as you I paid for apartment about 30$ per person a night (3ppl) I don't recommend hostel in terms of price if you are in a group of 2 or more.

[@chaka3084]

Flights from HNL to Japan are quite expensive now. Heard about ZipAir; was wondering if you would seriously recommend it? Are there major cons to flying the airline? Mahalo!

[@LisaAndJosh]

We would definitely take zipair again. It was way nicer than a lot of budget airlines we’ve taken in the states and abroad. Aside from the long check in line at HNL, the flight went smoothly, it was clean and comfy, there was free WiFi, no food, so we brought our own musibis and bought saimin on the flight for $5.

[@minkeymoo188]

I've only just come across your account. Great vibe and no shtick! 👏👏 I'm wondering what the budget is though. Can you tell us at the beginning so we can follow along?

[@Jonokeefe924]

Just a comment on eating while walking, I was told the first time back in the 80's when I first went there for work. When you are eating while walking, you are taking food too casually, and forget to pay respect to the people who grew/made it and the souls of the organisms who perished in the process. You are supposed to cherish your food.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thanks for the context! Yes, we’ve learned a lot about this idea and the reasons since then. Love this concept-the idea of intentionally eating and taking time for it and the people who made it vs hurrying along our day. Something we definitely can learn from in our everyday lives for sure

To prevent littering. If there’s designated eating areas with trash cans it helps keep the streets clean.

[@cocs88715]

Super motivated to take my hubby with me to Japan next year😍😍

[@gwarlow]

5:22 I saw on another KZbin channel hosted by a Japanese person, that this Ramen spot is overpriced and average tasting and the private booths are considered gimmicky by local Japanese. Many tourists go there for some reason. Anybody else heard this?

[@Maleka808]

To answer your question about walking and eating being frowned on, it's not just in Tokyo, it is almost everywhere you go in Japan...with certain exceptions. But from what I heard, it is discouraged because it is considered rude behavior. Why is it considered rude? I'm not exactly sure, but as you know, people in Japan are very considerate, so my educated guess, being a 3rd generation American-Japanese and having friends and relatives in Japan, is that they don't want people to walk around eating food and possibly dropping it on the ground where others can step on it...and still others need to clean it up. That's why most places in Japan are so clean! It's not usual for Japanese to talk off their shoes if they want to stand on a public bench to see something. Also, you must know that one of the reasons why Japan is so clean, especially in the cities, is that volunteers (people living in each community, business employees, business community associations, etc.) keep the streets clean, in addition to public workers. Japanese people really take pride in keeping the community clean. If you want to learn more, here's a really good video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eICqfp6do8hlj7s.

Love the videos and your personality/style, makes it easy to watch. Not sure if I'm missing something, are the places in the video actually mentioned? I saw other people mention things like "you hit all the spots" type of comments, but never really saw specifics; the description on the vid doesn't say anything except gear, how to connect and support. (The sights are largely obvious, more interested in the food spots)

23:42 Reality Check: They ain't so cool when you learn the language and find out that most of those places don't want you to enter. In fact, many bars and restaurants in Japan will prevent non-Japanese from entering. This is well known but seldom talked about.

Thanks for new ideas for my 4th visit to Japan!

[@LIB-k6o]

I am Japanese. When you come to Japan, the first place you should go is an electric shop. Therefore, it would be a good idea to get a device called "POKE TALK" that converts your native language into Japanese and speaks with your voice. With this device, you can communicate by 'voice'ing the language to the other person instead of expressing it in writing. Supports many languages. French, Italian, German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese...　Translate into any language and tell the other party by "voice". A perfect device for those who love to travel to different countries. A big hit in Japan. This is due to the rapid increase in the number of tourists from abroad. It is a very useful device for those who like to travel abroad. The size is about palm size.

[@spannaspinna]

I just had a look they are on eBay as well

[@thornless9073]

How much do they sell for in Japan

[@serenefoo145]

How much does that device cost I m living in New Zealand so have to convert intoNZD, Thank you

[@Tee_Cee1601]

Not walking & eating is just good manners and living in the moment among a few other obvious reasons. Japan is a walking culture and consideration for everyone around you is important too.

[@lachlanblackstock3857]

Is that money total per person or was it for both of you together? Cheers guys. Great video

[@WylieFletcher]

It will be a new discovery of Japanese tourist attractions! I also send information about visiting Japan, so that will be very helpful!

[@moisessandoval619]

The Crunch😂❤ sounds yummy

[@japanmakesmehappy]

The walking while eating is not allowed in Japan because people are in a hurry and might bump on to you causing more trouble. Also you can't walk fast while eating as well. It's basically rude to eat while walking. There are spaces on the side for people to finish their food and then proceed to their next stop.

[@MT-kr8cn]

where is that korokke meji - japanese croquette- place?...gone?😥

[@pintobean6092]

Japanese culture generally prohibits walking and eating, AKA "tabe-aruki," because it crowds the streets where everyone walks and promotes littering. Prohibiting tabearuki also helps the vendors when people passing by see a crowd of people munching on their products.

[@randallrowberry1205]

Japanese are generally more observant of etiquette when eating, so it doesn't surprise me that they would frown on walking around slurping food.

[@madwinsin]

I came across your channel and watched the Osaka/Kyoto on a budget video. I immediately followed while watching!
