[@JannFirdaus]

do a top 10 wacky vending machine!.I am really interested of all Japanese vending machine.japanese vending machine are really wacky

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Jann Firdaus! I did one a Top 10 vending machines for Haneda Airport already. Have you watched that one?

[@loganmacneil3424]

You should show some cool spots on the Chiba Peninsula, It always bugs me that no one ever goes there.

[@JannFirdaus]

@@PaolofromTOKYO I know.but there's other vending machine like mystery box vending machine.ice cream vending machine.pop corn vending machine and sim card vending machine in all area in japan.but the most I watched from other Japanese KZbinr is they doing a mystery box vending machine challenge that they want to win like PS4 console dan Nintendo gaming console.thats what's interested me

[@rolcopster123]

Go join Chris Broad (Abroad in Japan) on his 2000km cycle in japan!!

[@anabelle5341]

Yes!! Please have a segment on places locals frequent so we can get the full immersive experience! Even if it is not tourist-friendly or have English menus, it is so awesome seeing local places get featured!

[@psiga]

Personally, I really appreciated learning about the yakitori place tucked in the shotengai, even if it's not very tourist-friendly. Great prices, great food, and the character is 100% pure. If there's at least one little segment in the videos that is clearly aimed at locals, I feel like that helps entice people to reach outside of their comfort zone, and really relish authenticity. Thanks, Paolo! ^‿^

[@danzena4059]

Tokyo is my favorite city in Japan and I would even say the world. Kamakura has my heart though 💓!! I love Kamakura so much and it would be one of the places I would want to live most in Japan and even the world. I just love how it doesn't feel like an overwhelming city but has a lot to do and it's not far from Tokyo. And I absolutely love walking and running through Kamakura before the sun rises. I really love Kamakura. When I went to Japan, I didn't expect much but it caught me off guard and made me fall in love.

[@OohlalaHolly]

I did no research before I went to Japan, I ended up in Kamakura bc I wanted to see the big Buddha and I didn’t want to leave!! It was so charming! I had the same sentiments!

[@spun_01]

First Nikko now Kamakura, it's like you're ticking off my itinerary for my December - January trip! And I love that you hit up some little known spots that we normally wouldn't see. Everyone does the English friendly tourist traps, which is what makes your videos stand out.

[@GomezBro]

I am a simple man, Paolo posts a video... I hit LIKE....

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks GomezBro! I appreciate the insta-like!

[@erielleevora85]

Missing Japan. I’ll go back as soon as Covid is over. 😔

[@johnnyhi-tone3610]

I dig all your videos Paolo! More local stuff! Love to see Japan the way the locals do!

[@dreamsnotthings]

Loved Kamakura! Absolutely fantastic. We got some spectacular footage and more importantly created amazing memories!

[@MartinBlais]

Thanks for adding the detail in your description. I remembered watching your video and I was in kamakura having breakfast and was able to put together an itinerary really quickly over breakfast without having to rewatch

[@thenicflynn]

No matter my mood, your videos always lift me up! Thanks for always having some fun content 🙏

[@keepedging101]

True!!

[@thenicflynn]

@@keepedging101 he's a real VIP of KZbin :,)

[@keepedging101]

Nic Flynn ニック フリン yeah bro 😂

[@abbyrose1868]

This is so great, I've been looking for day trips from tokyo for my trip in february :)

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Abby Rose! This is definitely a must-visit spot.

[@chelatine]

I really like how you show the place you go to through a map, very informative and gives me a perspective/idea how close/far are the places you mention in a certain area..

[@annfc6207]

Thanks for the video. I watched several videos re. Kamakura already to get ready for our upcoming trip, but I appreciate the mentions of local places and other places that are not mentioned by everyone else. I also appreciate that your content is direct and cuts to the chase. Thanks!

[@dianaofmarkham]

I like everything 😋 food 🥘 with prices on them 👍 places to see and visit. You make awesome and helpful videos. That’s why I love your Chanel.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

And I appreciate you always watching them!

[@zawkyan9366]

I am a Japanese. Your video is very helpful as I am not familier with Kamakura. Thank you.

[@MrSwissSteve]

Thx for this video Paolo: great content and very helpful. Keep posting and safe travels

[@christinaiscurious6774]

I ate so much gorgeous food in kamakura, definitely worth a street food video :) also I like seeing the local places too!

[@Eri_Ko]

Thank you for venturing outside of Tokyo. I will add this to my list for the next trip. 😁

[@ando1135]

Paolo! i just got back from an amazing 11 day trip to Japan (tokyo, osaka, kyoto, himeji, hakone)....I wanna go back already. Your tips helped a lot. thank you :)

[@maxflitime3433]

Nice! Thank you again for sharing all this beautiful places!

[@jnt1013]

Definitely would love to see a video on Kamakura Street food! Hope you’re having a great weekend!

[@Cutie_Chik]

I’m actually early for once 😀 Awesome video. Really interesting and cool things to do 👍🏽 Also You should do a Street food edition for this place

[@pictureworkmemory]

Please do a video just on street food! I would love to see your top 10-15 :)

[@edinbaneallstar]

Loving the vids dude from Isle of Skye Scotland... Travelled round Japan in January and coming back this January love it

[@chelseaellavsky4607]

Thank you for featuring Kamakura. We're visiting Tokyo in April and this looks like a great day trip. Looking forward to the Kamakura Matsuri.

[@crome2298]

Great video! This is exactly what I was looking for, I will be going back to Tokyo next month and wanted to do something outside of the city! Also I love your little maps they are super helpful!!!

[@joielai7571]

Yes please! I would love to see what streetfood they offer! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙇🏻‍♀️ 😄

[@szelag]

Very cool! I'm 100% all about local spots like that yakitori place, that's one of the best aspects of your videos.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Tom Szelag!

[@48chappy]

I love seeing more unique local restaurants, even if communication may be a little more difficult haha. There are certain aspects of food and atmosphere that you can only really get by going out of your comfort zone and leaving the other tourists behind.

[@nordic1117]

We just went to Kamakura 2-3 weeks ago! The bamboo forest was amazing!

[@theodorelorenzo7834]

More day trips from Tokyo and other major cities would be nice. When I find myself in Japan I usually stick to major cities as my Japanese is minimal. Thanks for the great informative videos.

[@jeanhenric1508]

Yes to the street foooodddd!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@kristiww7913]

YES! Street food video please! And with Mieko!! Love her!

[@kuyajoboy7199]

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for watching Keelie Kalay Idol!

[@kiranisacat123]

Yes another street food video!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@pandabear153]

Thanks for the brief but educational trip to Kamakura! Last time we were in Japan was in 1978. Too old to travel long distance now.

[@otakkuanimegeek7892]

Been gone for a little bit but back love the vids

[@daviddelacruz4903]

Heading over next month! Pretty much listing down at this point every place your recommend in your videos! Thanks for the comprehensive guides!

[@yumleaidara74]

Paolo saved my recent first time vacation in Tokyo! His video are fantastic! Thank you!!!

[@yumleaidara74]

I wish I saw this video earlier...

[@vearn21]

KAMAKURA KAMAKURA YAS QUEEN

[@AmzWandering]

Awesome vid Pao! I was wondering actually when you were going to feature kamakura! Scooter looks cool btw 😎 And thanks for letting us know about the slam dunk thing! *hugggg*

[@tamiyafrog3220]

Love your videos so much. Great start to the day watching your video🙂🙂👍

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks tamiya frog! Glad I can start the day with you.

[@deanna8085]

Yes please! Kamakura Street food!Arigato...😋

[@SamVason-hu4nt]

Hi Paolo, my wife and I love your channel here, keep up the good work. Thank you so mulch!!!

[@drycin]

Paolo, give those local places love too. Not just the tourist places. Thanks!

[@MageThief]

0:22 Hi Maiko's shadow! :) Kamakura is one of my favorite and must go to places, I have lost track of how many times I gone there. I can recommend everyone to take the Enoden train line along the coast and visit the cities along that line, they are a treat as well and have lots of things to see.

[@2hapykdz]

YES....to the street food!!!!

[@remarc69]

Great vid as always Paolo, some more local food places would be awesome man, cheers😎

[@Thesadsadgame]

Perfect timing! We will be in Tokyo next week and planned a day trip!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Have an awesome trip Thesadsadgame!

[@ando1135]

you're gonna love it, i just got back myself!

[@TheSchildkroet]

Make sure to plan a few hours extra for enoshima and the local aquarium

[@Thesadsadgame]

Thank you for the rec!

[@emilychen622]

Omg I love this!!

[@kiska19]

Great guide. I really look forward to the street food tour, it would be awesome.

[@godcomplex6804]

Everybody is talking about how beautiful Kamakura is but I can only think KAMAKURA KAMAKURA YASSSS QUEEN *in basic white girl voice*

[@mikandespair2209]

Same

[@travelexploreasia9576]

Love the kamakura video, awesome job plus do more local dinning along with places and things to do outside of Tokyo, plus some hidden jem's as well if you think it will appeal to the audience.

[@GettBaladad]

When my friend and I went here last summer, we caught the fireworks festival. There was so many people but I enjoyed Kamakura a lot! Loved the spots you mentioned, Paolo! You always offer something new and interesting with your recommendations. Gonna add those to my to-visit list next time I'm in Kamakura. ❤️

[@youmaster12345]

Do you still know the date of the fireworks festival? Im probably going next year may as well visit when a festival is taking place;)

[@GettBaladad]

Maher A we went there around mid-July. You'll have to check online on when it'll be next year. Hope you get to watch it! It was pretty crowded but it was definitely a memorable experience to watch the fireworks by the Yuigahama beach.

[@traywaters1575]

Thanks for posting

[@eaglesguy6501]

Been looking forward to a new upload thank you and id love to see a video on street food.

[@pinkbubblegum6]

YASSSS pls do a video solely on the street food :D

[@1981cherokee1]

Yes please do a video on the street food!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

[@mabellagat6279]

STREET FOOD!! YUMMY!!

[@lucianaborinato2993]

Enjoyed your video, and you've definitely shown different places from other videos I've seen, on Kamakura. I personally prefer the traditional Japan, with its historic towns, houses, and shops, rather than the modern boutiques and stores. Arigatou gozaimasu 😀

[@Lee-ml9uw]

I plan on being in Japan in March, next year. Definitely going to stop in Kamakura to experience temples and the bamboo garden, for sure. I would not mind any street food and local restaurants videos as they would add to anyone's knowledge of whats all to do in Kamakura. Thanks for the tour and Zoom has some nice looking scooters.

[@godofdeath7039]

Great video Paolo.

[@22s22a]

Just went today, this one was really helpful as a newbie living here 👌🏾

[@ROKeve]

Thanks to your video, I decided to choose Kamakura day trip rather than choosing Tokyo! Thank you!!

[@popciderr]

Kamakura Kamakura *YASS QUEEN*

[@mia-gl8ub]

Yes please street food video 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@andy-travels2345]

[@DJ-tu9ky]

Now I want to go back to Kamakura just to try the food. 😋Great video! 👏 Would love to use the scooter to get around

[@ipcoco]

thanks a lot. I can travel Kamakura better than I know.

[@ellaayeah]

Love this video! Will definitely visit Komachi dori next time we go to Kamakura. We visited in May, rented bikes at that exact same place and our first stop was also Hokoku-ji! ^^

[@boredbeingbored894]

Kamakura is def nice. I went there when it was drizzling and I didn’t get to explore much of the area too... def gonna get back there again

[@juniormata98]

I’ll be heading to Kamakura today!

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Can't believe we didn't go to Kamakura and we spent over a month in Tokyo as well!

[@jadecummings8093]

Hey Paolo, gonna tell you that Tokyo has the best place that they're so much to do here, I've should go there and check it out for myself! Good one, man! 😉👍

[@mlakshmi3401]

What a video quality its awesome...........

[@aliblackmore]

Would love to see more small local shops like that yakitori place!

[@521Life]

Hey Paolo, thanks for your videos. Yours and a few others have made my current trip easier. I am thoroughly enjoying my trip...so much so, that I’m considering relocating. Lol but for real.

[@maceycornell]

Super nice video! Wish I could live in Japan too, so in the meantime I’ll see japan through your vids~ btw street food video=a must! :D

[@freemal451]

Rented an electric bike from Bike Rental for an hour to Hokokuji (15 min ride from Kamakura town). Got carried away with photo though the bamboo shrub isn't really large...returned the bike 5min late but the boss was OK. No extra charge...phewThanks Paolo for the recommend.

[@cristinajudah360]

Love your videos! Can you combine best places to eat with english menu? 😭💕

[@franco3584]
