[@geerd1]

20 to 30 minutes seems an ideal length. Thank you for another fascinating video ☺️👍

[@avondale1718]

My wife and I love the longer videos! When you have the extra time, you like to talk more about what it's like to actually live in Japan, and tell other stories. We really enjoy this! Thanks for your videos :)

[@spicysweater4501]

I like the longer videos! it’s fun hanging out with you Rion~ 😆✨

[@RionIshida]

Noted! Sweet! Arigatoooo😆😊

[@wennessa94]

20-30 mins is just perfect for such vlog. And I actually love how you always say “ it’s a little bit expensive but it’s okay”... It’s really down to earth cuz I personally think it’s pretty expensive to eat and live in Japan... Cuz in SEA our cost of living is much cheaper and the food is quite good too... Thanks again for bringing us to ‘travel’ around Japan, really have been enjoying the Japan vlogs which I’ve never thought of going before.

[@judychu868]

I don't mind longer vids - I love playing it on the side while I'm researching places to visit and listening!

[@StuRap]

Rion I feel these videos being between 25-30 minutes are the perfect length, 15 minutes would be too short

[@_sparrowhawk]

Totally agree

[@beanray1383]

Agreed

[@RionIshida]

Noted😊👍

[@tincie11]

Haha and another reason is we want more of your vids🤣🤪🥲

[@nickwong2525]

I think if 1 video per week, 20-30mins is just nice. If 2 videos per week, 12-15mins and if multiple videos per week, around 8-10mins is good. I definitely enjoy your videos a lot and it gives me more option/idea of where to visit next time when international travel is open again. Looking forward to your next video!

[@jcmac17]

I got positive for COVID-19 and I was brought to a quarantine facility. I discovered your channel and it really helped me to become strong and optimistic while fighting the virus. Today, i got released and I already got home. I am now fully recovered. I will continue to support your channel because I love your good personality. Arigatou Gozaimasu Rion! Gaoooo!

[@RionIshida]

So happy to hear that my video could be a little help fighting with Covid-19 in someway, that's my great motivation to keep making videos, Arigatoooo Jhon Ganbarimaaaasu! Gaoooooo😊😆

[@nikip9161]

I love the trains, the walking, "let's go,!", the beautiful meals no matter how pricey or not. It's allllll wonderful and such a pillow of comfort. Thank you🤗😊💌🌻

[@XreloX]

I like the longer (20-30 minute) videos! They keep me entertained while working from home 😭

[@jaelynryan4611]

Longer videos!! the longer the video, the better 👍🏻👍🏻

[@etherdog]

Rion, I like vids that are under 30 minutes. If they are less than 15 minutes, there is less opportunity for explanation and seeing more things. Also, I was proud of you for going down the slide, challenging your fear of heights!

[@DeftonesFan1982]

I love longer videos!! Less than that is super short! I love the faces of Japanese people seeing Rion speaking english to the camera! 😆 Take care Rion!

[@masterchiefy830]

Interesting .... Very Expensive ... Let's Keep Walking ... Itadakimasu .... Oishi... Meccha Oishi... I love when you say all this.... it's like therapy

[@inferno10]

This is a good length. The video doesn’t feel rushed and has lots of content

[@nikkofranchise]

Hi Rion! Please make more longer videos! I watch and rewatch all your videos with my wife, and we definitely love the longer videos where you show and explain more of what you are doing/seeing/eating... and more walking! :)

[@RionIshida]

Noted, Arigatooo😊😆

[@dl371617]

30 minute videos are preferred! Longer too ! Love them!

[@FiqhuIndonesia]

i like 20-25 minutes video, as long it's over 15 min I'm happy

[@mattcarter6559]

Yeah longer videos are fine. I really enjoy watching the activities in japan at a slow pace, no need to rush things.

[@happyhuang9541]

Blue Impulse is close to Skytree, it’s so cool🤩. Today Rion had a set of Tonkatsu, Unagi Katsu, Prawn Katsu, it’s really Meccha Oishii, I like the bowl of cabbage so delicious because it’s fresh 😋, burdock is healthy food👍, but I saw that set of Hotate Katsu I really want to eat 😍🤤🤭😁😋, Kanpai 0.00% alcohol is very interesting😉! I think the live stream is longer but I am afraid that Rion will be very tired 😓 and we can watch Rion for a longer time because sometimes you make us happy 😊 and funny 😁 ! Like to see Rion 🤨 !!!

[@mut1airna905]

Rion is the best vlogger from Japan and your English is very good. I always see your video. I love that slogan: "Lets keep walking". I'm from Indonesia, nice to know you and Japan ❤

[@user-mx1wc6oj6z]

I've lived Higashi Mukojima late 90's , Asakusa ,and Sumida is one of my favorite place to stroll together with my friends ! I miss TOKYO so much 😭😭❤️🇯🇵

[@harryfreeman07]

I loved your reaction on the slide 😄 Your meal looked so tasty and made you full so must have been good. Longer videos are my favourite!

[@grasdaggl4406]

Gaooooo!🦁 Great video! I like videos of 20-30 minutes 🤗

[@ThatsJeanette]

You won't believe it but we went almost the same way. However, that day we started early in the morning from Taito Uni🤭 and then arrived at the Skytree in the evening. That was our best day in Tokyo. 😍 To see all these small and big wonderful places (The Taito, Ueno Park, Asakusa Shrine etc). Small alleys, large streets full of kitchen accessories (kappabashi 🧞), tiny owner-managed shops with delicious food 🍲🍛or mixed goods🍡🍙. It was wonderful and I can only recommend long walks through the big cities of Japan. You see so much, everyday life and just a lot of things that you would otherwise miss if you rush from one sight to another ..... But please remember to wear very comfortable shoes and clothes, otherwise it will probably not work 😅😉

[@RionIshida]

Have you tried UNAGI KATSU before? (I was born and raised, but my first time to try) Hope I can try more new foods and share it with you though the video😊😁

[@astroboy3507]

I have had good unagi from Japan at an old place in narita was so good!!! We paid extra for from Japan waters was so fresh!!!!👍

[@shamii9029]

This man have my respect by speak in english either than speak in japan and put an english subtitle

[@jumpname2069]

30 minutes video is enough.. and congrast for beating your scariest of high place ^^

[@lioness77alfar]

You climbed up the slide looks high for you and you slid down ... I am proud of you, you are taking on the fear of heights one challenge at a time ... Love the video

[@dadrummer9154]

Another great video! I vote for longer videos. This one was the perfect length. Thanks!😆

[@RionIshida]

Noted! My biiiiig pleasure and Arigatoooo😆👍

[@limikocarriedo2289]

Hello, I prefer to watch 30 minute videos because I watch them while having lunch, so I don't get hungry when I see you eat LOL

[@see2travel]

The Saboten meal is worth it. :)

[@teresitabeltran7665]

Hello again Rion,,,thanks that you noticed my comments,,,,,really I love watching your video,,,first becoz I saw difft scenic spots around Japan,,,,and as if I'm with you wandering around Japan,,,IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL....SO far as if I am gone there too,,,hshahah.....Japan is really nice and beautiful place,,,,what I noticed,,,,THE SURROUNDINGS IS VERY VERY CLEAN,,YES CLEANLINESS OF THE PLACE IS VERY COOL...LOVE IT...pls do take care......and if I were you dont go to Mt. Fuji ,its very dangerous this time,,coz it's very foggy.....ok ....

[@gan757]

15 to 25 minutes seems to be an ideal video length.

[@monnaco3401]

Developed a habit of guessing if Rion's gonna say "oishii" or "mecha oishii" everytime he takes the first bite. 😄 Enjoyed this video and the length is just perfect! ❤️ I hope you can visit interesting coffee shops around. I would really love to see Rion enjoy kohi. ☕ (since I'm a kohi lover tooo ☕) thank you! ✨

[@RionIshida]

🤣😆👍

[@fayesabate7118]

Thank you for bringing me back to Japan. I miss it so much!

[@lorrainethepain]

Asahi for dessert...Okay...😉 I like your longer videos...

[@aromaneko1992]

Rion, I think within 30mins long video should be fine. 富士山に連れて行くのを楽しみにしています。😎Gaoooooooooo🦁🐱

[@Mintimiruku6369]

Tbh I really like watching your video during my meals. So 25-30 minute length is ideal for me to enjoy my food while travelling (through video) with you haha 😆

[@anthonygomez9047]

25-30 minutes is a good time. you make things interesting.

[@GeorgePutong]

The video duration is fine as it is. We enjoy your weekly videos. Please prioritise your safety first. Mt. Fuji can wait :))

[@Kakibot]

I enjoy 30 min videos! Perfect length for me .) Thank you for taking us on this walk!

[@RiaNavarita]

I'd prefer the middle lenght video, but I'll watch any videos of you anyway lol, just give us your best work 💪

[@alamanuar]

Year 2015 (1st time). Just remember my walk from Asakusa (breakfast) > green tea icecream shop at corner 1:41 > Tokyo Skytree (Pineapple pen cafe ) > take pic 7:42 ( i dont know their have slide! I will try!) > back to Asakusa eat Halal Ramen (Naritaya). Yes. Love length with compact vlog. All in one! Awesomeness.

[@jlotrigo8535]

Every place you go is an adventure and all those meals, i like the longer videos but at the same time this one is prefect too, thanks ryon

[@kuramahaydeeann]

Hi I love watching your videos specially in this pandemic which many of us can’t travel much, that 30 minutes is just perfect for explaining detailed places and foods of Japan. Keep it up and stay safe. 😃♥️♥️♥️

[@pardsd.968]

"Acktuary" - haha so cute

[@henrychew235]

Missing the unagi so much!! I think around 20 to 25 min best, allows for enough footage for us to experience japan during this pandemic!!

[@PabloCorbal]

I see some people like the longer videos but I prefer this format. I usually play you on the background while cooking, and 3 hours feels like long. Anyway, both formats are good. I know you already have 3 or so conveyor belt videos, but I would love another one, lol. I just enjoy seeing you at the conveyor belt eating sushi. Maybe this time you will get the gachapon!

[@dulapeep5609]

lmaoo ur the first vloggers that I know who is really honest abt couldn't eat anymore, btw thanks for the video and I personally prefer the longer duration of videoo gaooo

[@peterjake9621]

Hi Rion , Really Enjoyed the Video. Nice backdrop of Tokyo sky tree with the Blue Impulse flypast . In the Uk we have the Red Arrows . The Katsu dinner set was an awesome dining experience and a good deal for what you got for the price liked the instructions that came with the food. Loved seeing the Food art in the display cases and the great selection of shops and restaurants . Look forward to more videos Arigato.

[@ankitaburman5406]

I accidently stumbled on this channel and now I'm sold ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks rion your videos are 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@miss_luciana]

30 minutes it's perfect!

[@jinniesantos1212]

It was only a little while when I had my lunch but i still got hungry with what you ate... Oishisou! Btw, I preferred a 15mins video or 30minutes maybe. In that way, I can still get to see more other video of yours.

[@paripitiffany]

11:35 I’ve used the app Google Translate’s camera function (when set on Japanese -> English) to read Japanese instructions on a paper included with a tea cup my friend got me from Kyoto. It wasn’t in perfect English, but I was able to read enough & figure out how to take care of the tea cup. Maybe you could try it yourself next time and see if the English translation is accurate enough for us. ^^ I’d love any video length you make, but you’ve really been “killin’ it” (doing an extremely good job 👍) with your recent videos. Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooooo😆👍

[@mme69]

I really like watching long videos from you, so please keep it :)

[@ellywong4545]

Yay! Excited for another video! Loving it! I think 25-30 mins video are good 😊

[@AndreSantos1928]

Longer videos are great to have as background, when doing stuff around the house. Shorter (20min +) are great during lunch/snack breaks

[@chuaamanda5282]

30 to 45 minutes will be great. your video was amazing!

[@kathynk686]

Thank you for exploring Japan during this time. Missing Japan now. So glad I still get to see Japan through your video. Brings back memories. Feels like I am walking together with you. I dont mind the long video. Enjoy to see the walk.

[@aryllcl8877]

I like longer videos too!!! And super happy for the new vid release

[@Lisa-rh3zr]

Enjoyed your video. Especially from someone younger then myself point of view. So far I enjoyed your 30 to 40 minutes videos. Thanks 😊

[@i.40]

i personally like videos better if they are around 15 minutes as i mostly watch them during breaks. really like the food videos :)

[@stevecriddle]

"The price is a bit expensive, but I really want to try it." That's how they get you!

[@julieanndiamante20]

For someone enjoying watching you, less than 15 minutes video is too short. I think you can keep the length of your videos as they are. You are fun to watch. I think I've been to Saboten (😁😂) because I remember we had unli-rice, miso and cabbage salad. I preferred their yuzu salad dressing - the best! 🤤 Because of this video, I think I should try their unagi katsu too. 🤤 Let's keep walking! 😍😎

[@lkjhg564]

Hi Rion!! Thank you so much for the interesting video, I enjoyed them very much. I love the smile and positivity you bring! Wish you all the best!

[@tomas6179]

I remember my first time in Tokyo sky tree. It was really amazing to experience it on my first trip to Japan. The view was amazing and I enjoyed a coffe up there while watching Tokyo. Really miss Japan now

[@AFerdy-jy9wc]

Rion, I enjoyed this video very much. Looking forward to the next destination and foods. You are super amazing. Great work, keep it coming!

[@dellawoo6045]

This brings back memories when I travelled to Japan! Me and my friend walked all the way to Skytree from Asakusa, it was a LONGG walk 😂😂

[@ThatsJeanette]

But there's so much to see, right? 😊 These small things other people will not see because they are driving with the Metro or even didn't have an eye therefore.

[@dellawoo6045]

@@ThatsJeanette Yes! It was a good walk to take in the sights but it was also a hot day 🥲

[@mo.joejoe2878]

I love watching your videos, and i prefer it to be longer. 😁

[@ArthouseChannel]

Rion the food looks so good mmmm hihihi, thank you so much for the video!!!

[@meetpaulay]

Longer is better, I feel like I am walking Japan with you

[@pockypimp]

My family had really good tonkatsu at Hirata Bokujo Coredo Nihonbashi. They explained in english how to grind the sesame seeds and mix the sauce, which was new for us too. Very similar set with the two salad dressings too.

[@AmbientWalking]

Your videos are always so atmospheric and you can really soak in the life and the culture of where you are. Thanks for that! : )

[@dviant5760]

Thank you for another great video Rion!!! Honestly in my opinion the length of your videos are already good enough as it contains enough locations and topics covered. That is my suggestion that the length of your videos are fine, my preference always be based on the content presented so as long as I enjoy the content whether its short or long Its fine by me Good job and keep on having fun making your content! Gao!

[@pilotgrrl1]

Really enjoyed Saboten! I'm a fan of longer videos, it's fun to watch you and chat with the Gaooomunity. Looking forward to the Sunday livestream!

[@dramaocelot]

Hi Rion! That restaurant looked delicious. I love the longer videos you have been making. It's lots of fun to watch but still different from your live stream.

[@MariansNook]

I usually wait for the edited 4K versions, and for those the longer the better. Makes us not miss Japan so much when watching your videos.

[@arvalenz5314]

The Asahi building you pointed out is the Asahi Beer Hall and it’s a golden flame. The tall golden building next to it is the Asahi Beer Tower. The top of that tower is the foam. Since you like drinking beer, you should visit the tall golden building. At 22nd floor called Asahi Sky room you can see panoramic view.

[@RionIshida]

Didn't know that! Interesting, I definitely will visit there in the future😁👍

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

That sure was one 'bumpy' ride on the slide lol 🤣 Woah that was one good lunch and I'm glad you ate it and didn't hesitate too much but maybe you edited it out? 😁 Thank you for this entertaining video! Stay hydrated and safe Ishida san. 🧊🍉😷

I'm loving the longer videos Rion! Looking forward to every time you upload!

[@karen34c]

i enjoy your videos Rion, very helpful and informative. 20-30 minutes videos are just right. Maybe you could edit your very long videos into several 30 minutes videos. Anyway, keep on posting, we are always delighted with your new videos.

[@SolidSnakeOO1]

I prefer the longer videos please.

[@alohagoodies]

My favorite tonkatsu restaurant! We even bought dressing to take home to Hawaii! Lol!

[@oregonduc]

I believe it depends on content you are filming. Like this Asakusa to Skytree is just right length because it’s a good walk and there are plenty of things to browse along the way or in skytree. Or you could do a multi part video in smaller chunks of 15 min to go over various things to find and do.

[@daphnesywong]

Thanks for bringing us another wonderful video! The time for video is just nice. It helps bring back memories of Japan ☺️
