My son loved Japan when he visited in 2017 after he'd finished his degree with all of his uni mates .

[@markclayton626]

Tokyo is such a beautiful city with many beautiful people… the food, the cleanliness, it’s on another level, it’s a must visit city if your able too, this video reflected it very well…..

[@akas224]

The problem is ....I always want to stay longer and come back again and again..

[@markclayton626]

@@akas224 if I was starting out again, I’d live there for many years.

[@Moemuntz]

Tokyo/Japan needs 4 trips. 2+ weeks each. 1 trip for each season. Different weather Different vibe/themes Different seasonal foods - the flavor of the foods changes with the season I can’t explain it.

[@jonbuckley5049]

Those look super comfy. Better than a plane!!

[@janakotrcova2790]

Travelling by trains in Japan must have been an extraordinary experience for you! Cherry blossom season is the most beautiful of the year.Flowering trees beautifully frame temples and gardens,enjoy the peace and quiet.

[@Attila-Fazekas66]

A videótokat megnézve ismételten meg kell hogy állapítsam, Japán gyönyörű! Vigyázzatok Magatokra!

[@mr.randolph5582]

Thanks for the Bullet Train ride. I really had a lot of fun when I was there. It's so smooth and quiet.

[@EdCNJ]

Public transportation appears to be top notch. I’m sure it can be confusing at times but I love the cleanliness and the comfort.

[@isaacbulay4061]

I guess Tokyo has something for everyone. What a fabulous city with so much variety of things to do. Love the temples and night life. So clean also. Arigato and Enjoy! 😊

[@filipepedro8272]

Japan never fails to impress

[@JumpingPlaces]

same!

[@kiddadd]

Its so annoying how we dont have bullet trains on the states. But japan has trains for every occasion.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

That bullet train was so futuristic. Tokyo is out of this world. 😲👍😊🇮🇪🇯🇵⛩️🗼

[@ricardotongol567]

Good morning Chris and Carol. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Japan…that bullet train is awesome.

[@mihokof9412]

これがファーストクラスだと海外の方に思われたら不本意。ファーストクラスであるグランクラス乗って欲しい。

[@maritkjn505]

Wow that luxury train looked amazing. Thank you for sharing 😊 Stay safe, and take care - all of you ♥

[@michaelrichards669]

I have not watched your videos in a bit.... I will have to go back and see where I stopped. Japan is very cool. My sister's best friend growing up went to Japan every few years. Her Father was from the US but mom was born and raised in Japan. I believe they married in late 1960s or eary 1970s. So their Daughter went back to Japan every 3 to 4 years.

[@johnwakefield9378]

Loving your Japan video.

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Chris & Carol🙂❤👍

[@gman3ful]

Thanks!

Thanks for the support! :D

[@tul9033]

Thanks for sharing the train experience always wondered what a "SUPER" train would be like. I noticed Carol's transformation while on the train 😃

[@RocketRay]

That is the most beautiful train bathroom I've ever seen.

[@raysackett7660]

This week is called Golden Week. Many Japanese will be traveling domestically 20 plus million. Another reason it’s going to get extra crowded! Love your videos in Japan. Spent 12 days in Japan last month.

[@tamiresnavarro2432]

I'm loving the videos, my bf and I are thinking of going next year and your videos really help to get info and inspiration of all the cool places we can visit. You've just gained a new subscriber!! :)

[@cathyemmerson471]

Another great video. You and Carol are indeed blessed to have your parents touring with you, it is wonderful to see. Your dad seems to just stroll along with large strides and your mom takes a lot of steps while walking. It's fun to watch and they are beautiful people. I enjoy hearing you talk to us like we're all old friends. The bullet train was awesome and Tokyo is a cool and clean city. Love all those crosswalks. I noticed the park with everyone just enjoying family time, no dogs, or at least I didn't see one. Thanks for an awesome video!

[@dynastyduck3799]

Cherry blossoms season, beautiful; thx 4 sharing

[@jozah2148]

Thanks Chris and beautiful Carol, I was looking forward to seeing you guys ride the bullet train.🫶🏻🫶🏻🤟🏾👌🏾🥰🇬🇧

Great nightlife everything looks so different and beautiful. Looking forward to our next video now I know how you and Carol stay so slim lol constantly walking.😂

[@JumpingPlaces]

yeah sometimes almost walking the entire day :D

[@user-ss3ud7pp7f]

Great video Japan looks awesome.

[@mlblue5355]

As far as tipping, I lived in China for 8 years and they didn’t accept tipping. It was included in the regular bill. They consider it to be offensive. What about the Philippines? Do you tip there? I’m home now in Michigan, USA, the tipping is expensive and even for over the counter buys, they try to get you to tip. Crazy! Thanks for all your wonderful videos!

[@fujigoko007]

23:34 Even in Tokyo, you have to be careful not to rip people off at bars that have signs in Korean.

[@londonerlondon4207]

Great vlogs! Thanks for sharing. Which dates were you in Tokyo to catch the cherry blossom?

[@sarahmanning525]

i'm amazed that Japan finds tipping offensive. Here in California it's expected to tip at least 20%, used to be that 15% was the normal tipping when eating out. At a local Mexican restaurant there are 3 tipping jars, 1- waitress, 2- cook, and 3- restaurant. I usually only put $1 per jar.

[@mr.randolph5582]

"ORGANIZED CHAOS" Very well put, to say the least. LOL

[@Amarikita]

Excellent choice of music for your video as usual.

[@diarmuidlong5540]

Brilliant video, loving the bars and restaurants. Safe travels. Diarmuid

[@SquooHipPa]

We went to Japan back in March 2023, it was and incredible experience and such it really is a beautiful country. The shinkansen was a really cool experience for us, like you said very comfortable and fast.

[@JumpingPlaces]

High speed trains are the best :D

[@summerwatson3416]

Just got back from a trip to peru... the osprey rollerbag with the backpack straps came in very handy... great recommendation!

[@KozueHanayamacocolate]

If you are still in Japan, I recomend go to Kamikouchi , especially wonderful in the summer..

[@geneconroy7795]

As an American, I'm so embarrassed to say that Japan's transportation systems blows ours out of the water... Here in the states, the trains are ugly, dirty, and grafiti ridden (on the exterior/interior). Stay safe and have fun Chris and Carol, Japan is on my wife's and mine bucket list... GREAT VIDEO!

[@GL-iv4rw]

America hasn't been Easternized/part of the modern world, despite some parts of Europe are to an extent.

[@robcroese]

Well done - very informative!

[@nealpersad]

As always very nice video indeed, like the no Tip policy. In America it is ridiculous.

[@michaelle7637]

Love your video. Very informative . Organized Chaos- I got to remember this phrase.

[@litabiske5409]

Wow, what a great fast train. I agree with you and Carol I wish the airlines had more comfortable seats. I can never sleep on the plane lol

[@EvelinHolmes]

You can ,just buy 1 class tickets . All you need is money.

[@litabiske5409]

@@EvelinHolmes this is true lol

[@julioc4978]

Great video, I noticed that it is not as pricy, probably due to the currency devaluation, it is provably cheaper than Rio Cheers

The guy in the ticket office for the bus spoke English which surprised me. How common is that? I was in Japan for 30 years ago and then it was very rare.

Hello Mum and Dad, from UK 🇬🇧 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@dwalker6868]

Nice thank you for sharing

[@alodiam69]

Watching from Canada

[@R_CA]

My advice : tourists ticketing office (they can do magic) or the machine. The only trap is reserved seats train only (usually the case in north Japan) Next step is to try "gran class" :p

[@trdrav4]

Hopefully Takashii from Japan interviews you guys!

[@johngrant7696]

You really need to get Osprey to sponsor you. I have a rolling Osprey that you can also use as backpack or throw over your shoulder and it’s great. Connect with them. They could use you guys.

[@kamkarter8821]

What was the street at 22:34 with all the pretty lights?

[@meeaye]

You guys went to Shibuya.I think you did not go and see the statue of Hachiko. When you go back to Tokyo and if you guys have extra time I would like to recommend to go back to Shibuya station and meet Hachiko.

I have a quick question. What airline is best to fly to Japan and in what class? I haven’t been there and I would like to go there in September.

[@ひなせらん]

日本の航空会社はどれを選んでも失敗はありません。ビジネス席でも同じです。なぜなら、料金でサービスの質が変わることは無いからです。楽しい旅を😊

[@sunsun2181]

日本人ですが、一度、JALまたはANAを使ってみてください。ちょっとサービスが(他の国の飛行機会社とは）違うことがわかります。ANAのほうが少々値段は高いです。

[@auxiliarypowerunit]

Multiple other people have already mentioned it but this isn't first class, but more like business class. The first class equivalent on the shinkansens would be GranClass.

[@samjones4327]

Awesome video tour!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Tokyo looks amazing and it looks like so much to do! I can't wait to get there one day soon! Cheers!!

[@JumpingPlaces]

Definitely go :D

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Malaysia has no tipping culture too. It can cost more for locals if it spread. Yes we find it insulting.

[@mikhaantadze6018]

You should have used JR pass for foreigners... it was the best solutions for us in 2019.

[@JumpingPlaces]

would have cost us more, it's only worth it if you are getting on the trains more than we did

[@NappyHead007]

Peaceful

[@franksmith3602]

100%......right.... NO TIPPING, the reason a tip is a insult. And the Japanese see a tip as a mega insult...to the point of been shamed..... This is why.... The Honor code of the server Industry,.....the servers are all ready getting paid... They are paid to serve you. To make you happy. To make sure in a restaurant you receive the most wonderful time. And it is the ( Honor to be able to share and be there for you.)... A tip..... Insults them...because it's like telling them they did a bad job... serving you. I tipped one time, the girl chased me down....blocks away crying, apologize ING....for not doing her job. Japan, unwritten customs.....run deep. And you don't break them.. if you on a train or bus, and it is packed, and a old lady, needs a seat...( Never offer the elderly your seat thinking your been polite..mega wrong....) In JAPAN GIVING UP YOUR SEAT IS A INSULT TO THE ELDERY. YOUR TELLING THEM THERE WORTHLESS. I'm not joking. If you do get up, to let a elderly Japanese person sit down....you must get up and leave that train car.... You can how ever.....smash to the left or right....make room.... Let them, sit.....then get up...they save face then.... But never look any Japanese in the face when traveling,... It is there space, look pass them... Look up.... Do not look down. Even when saying thank you..... Face the person. Tilt your head....out of respect to them. I've been going and living in Japan......back to the 1960s,..... I've watched Japan...... grow up........ And, you never break the rules.... Domie, guy, jean.....say it fast.....( It means......stupid America.)...I heard it a lot till I learned..... social rules.... And any time to break the ice.... In meeting Japanese...,do it by trying to speak there language to them.....FACEING them.... Great video..... I'm missing my house in Tokyo.....thanks.

Tipping in the United States is mandatory. There not accept less than 15% even though the food wasn't good. 😢

[@EvelinHolmes]

That’s why we don’t eat out. Unfortunately it’s expected in so many places now. Even for oil changes,dry cleaning and many more thing . I try to avoid places like this.

Roller bags are essential , even over rough roads . And they fit into overhead lockers . my back pack was full . 10 kgs +- , wheelie bag 12 +- Hmm HSR , is it worth it ? Just back from Taiwan , it is expedient . At a cost . Prefer the slow train , so it takes 4 hours , not 2 :-) way less expensive :-)

The temperature in *C makes no sense to Americans who use *F. Provide both.

[@C--A]

The rest of the world uses *C as the temperature, ie the majority of people watching the videos.

[@makotito73]

I agree that it’d be nice to have both. It also wouldn’t hurt for Americans to learn the Centigrade system, as it can only benefit you when traveling overseas. Foreign travelers in the US are forced to deal with Fahrenheit too, after all.
