tokyo summer guide to shopping, eating and coffee

[@SamandVictor]

Are you planning on coming to Japan? 🇯🇵

[@keigisa]

Yas! Christmas time I hope. your Fukuoka video specifically inspired me ❤

[@SamandVictor]

@@keigisa Omg Fukuoka has a TON of good food!! You're going to love it :)

[@millicentliu4750]

Yes, actually, today I'll be there. However, JR line has a serious accident, thus I can not go there today....😢😢

[@inbetweenworlds]

Yesssss! Went to Osaka last spring (when will you guys go to the Kansai region?) and plotting to go to Fukuoka! 😊

[@Alruwibi]

No

[@keigisa]

Honestly Japan should sponsor your guys videos at this point. You both show Japan in such a beautiful, intimate & captivating way!

[@SamandVictor]

Awwww thanks so much!! And thanks for tuning in so early :)

[@dianebaker5243]

Agree 💯

[@MoroccanReflections]

👌💯

[@sahibchik]

Even though I've been to Tokyo many times (my favorite city in the world), I still discover new places or learn from your videos! It's amazing how you both have so much energy while walking and exploring in such harmony! I enjoy your videos, especially the shopping parts 😊

[@myso-o9c]

Totally agree.

[@user-zi1mf8xc6m]

I am Japanese, but through your video, the scenery that I am used to seeing in my everyday life looks incredibly fascinating. Please be careful in the hot weather.

[@SamandVictor]

Hello! We love it here. Always something to do and see in Tokyo. I'm glad you liked this video - and yes you also be careful of the heat! It's driving us pretty crazy :(

[@lala_savta1672]

Vic and Sam could make a dumping ground look good ❤

[@jujuma9862]

Japan absolutely owe you two a Japan Friendship Ambassador award🤣The country is so beautiful under your camera and I watched all your vlogs before planning my trip.

[@SamandVictor]

Awwww! Haha that award sounds fun !!

[@mxd-1990asn]

Any Country is under their camera, i think.

[@Bob-l5n8l]

風景の切り取り方や写し方が本当にセンス良くていつも感動します🥹 普段目にするごちゃごちゃした古い商店街とか、ギラギラしたネオン街とか、汚いくて下品に見えるのに、お二人の切り取り方や写し方ですごく素敵に見えるのが不思議。映像の魔術師だ🪄

[@IuneIa]

all the coffee shops you go to always look so elegant

[@SamandVictor]

We try to pick the most elegant ones hahah jk!

[@hinata3843]

coffe + your vlogs = my happiness

[@SamandVictor]

You missed an 'e' haha! Happy to hear that, Thank you!!

[@ayaarce2614]

Honestly, Tokyo rain is such a vibe. Everything just looks so nice

[@lertcmn]

Out of a million vlogs out there on KZbin, i love yours the best. You tell your stories delicately with the right amount of dialogue and carefully chosen music. Can’t wait for your next video!

[@martijnrosenbottel3616]

Your videos are almost perfect , amazing cinematography , what I also like is, that you guys answer the comments, that shows gratitude and being a good and humble person .

[@JamAspinall85]

My wife and landed in to Tokyo this morning to celebrate her 40th Birthday. Your videos have formed our WHOLE trip. We would sit on a Sunday in Australia with a wine and watch them making notes. They are shot beautifully, the locations are excellent and your content is on point. Thank you so much!!!

[@SamandVictor]

That is amazing! Wishing your wife happy birthday and a memorable trip in Tokyo 🎉🎂

[@olyavolhina]

Me and my husband always use your vlogs to plan our Japan trips ❤ we're going again in 2 months, can't wait!

[@SamandVictor]

Yay!! Hope you get to check out some new spots we have here :)

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

You know what I wish they'd invent as a novelty souvenir that actually has practical application: a front door bell chime that plays the little melody from a Tokyo train station of your choice! I can't tell you how excited I would be to test them out in the store and buy the one that had the most powerfully Pavlovian affect on me. Nostalgia and joy every time I get a delivery package! I can picture myself so viscerally back in Tokyo whenever I hear the tinkly train station chimes! Whyyyyyy haven't they made these?! Is it just me and my husband that are odd in this way and yearn for train station chime door bells to be conceived and manufactured? Haha.

[@mysauco]

Truly loved this particular edition of your Tokyo Summer Guide - its like you guys got your mojo back as we really sense your joy, wonder and playfulness, things that have been sorely missing in most of your vlogs lately. 👏✌️💕

[@chrissluder3711]

My fav way to relax now - watching your videos. Digging the Wes Anderson vibe.

[@SamandVictor]

Haha thanks so much! Glad you like the Wes Anderson vibe ;)

[@papermori]

love love love love your vlogs, so soothing and relaxing. also sam's ghibli nails are so cute >

[@Thunderstorm-1111]

“He a Fan, He a Fan“ part was so funny 😂 This vlog really felt like you two were locals there and introducing us to the neighborhood ☺️✨🙌🏼

[@leonieparsons]

That was such a great vlog. So interesting to see all the fantstic shops you went into, and all the amazing food and resturants, and coffee places you went to. We have nothing like that in Melbourne. Can't wait to watch the next vlog you guys put up. You must be having such a great time.

[@amimili]

I love the vlog editing! After vlogging my Tokyo trip, I saw how hard it is to vlog while traveling. But you both show it in such a beautiful and relaxing way!! So inspiring!🥰

[@motokilong-nozawa7996]

I always enjoy watching your Japan videos. I used to live in the metro Tokyo area for about 20 years, but I still have so many cities, towns, restaurants, coffee shops......that I don't know and want to explore (fyi I currently live in Vancouver). Looking forward to future Japan videos to come!

[@celesterakhale7496]

I love your perspective guys...relaxing,casual travel...so nice!

[@SamandVictor]

THanks for tuning in early!

[@thepopuptraveler]

Happy to see you guys staying for longer days in Japan! 🇯🇵🙏😍 Can't wait to see more of your lifestyle trave vlogs every Monday 😍 I am drooling and laughing right now watching your vlogs Monday felt so complete watching your new vlogs! Thank you so much! 🇯🇵🙏😍

[@mathsloser]

Please keep doing what you guys are doing! its such an inspiration and a cinematic experience watching yr vlogs 🤩

[@nagisa07]

こんにちは！from Japan🇯🇵 2week ago,I visited Hong Kong for the first time in a year. I went to a lot of the places you introduced me to. It was a very productive trip. Hong Kong is my favourite place. I look forward to more videos from you🫶🏻🇭🇰

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

The next place I'd love to go (introduced to me so beautifully by this channel too) is Chiang Mai. Their video of them eating their dinner right next to the wild elephants was so stunning. Beautiful hotels, really cool design-led artisanal coffee shops and great retro vintage style Thai diners to get simple cheap (and probably delicious) authentic food. I'm already researching Thailand and Singapore as my next far East Asian destinations, ha. Such a great channel.

[@coconutpanda]

Omg, I ate so many of those Ohayo Brulee ice creams when I was in Japan. I offer two tips: #1. Let it get a bit melty before eating so the ice cream is more like a brulee consistency. #2. Buy two because a single serving is too small. 😊

[@hamoyamo]

almost screamed when i saw this in my subscriptions i love your videos sm

[@96phi.]

As always, I love your editing. So inspiring 🥰

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you so much! Props to Sam on these edits. She's 🔥🔥

[@charlieb.3990]

Especially loved this latest vlog by you guys🥰! For taking us around the lesser known/shown parts of Tokyo like Ueno, Aoyama etc - that was super fun and interesting to watch! Please take us more to places like those, instead of the usual too well known and touristy spots which seems to be saturating other travel vlogs on KZbin 🤪! Your love for Japan shines through with your vlogs which is why you two are an absolute joy to watch 😊!

[@khaloudal-badi7869]

Sam and Victor, I always watch your videos and its inspiring and just perfect. Keep uploading as you make my day when I want such a simple and elegant channel. All the love from Qatar.

[@nancychan1467]

You guys are helping us to plan our January trip, absolutely love your videos. Thanks 😊

[@lala_savta1672]

I look forward to watching these vlogs over in over. Coffee in hand and cozy on the couch. My favorite two things in life.

[@JamieDarch]

as someone who is moving to japan next september for univeristy, this video is so useful!! so many little gems that I can't wait to check out. thank you!

[@nekotanuki-m]

日本人です！こんなに魅力的に発信してくれて、ありがとうございます❤明日久しぶりに原宿のnico andに行こうかな😆

[@mirarosli230]

Oh I am so seated with my cup of coffee and snacks. *also takes down note coz this gonna be helpful when I'm in Tokyo later this year*

[@funnysirada7440]

Hi Sam and Victor, I really like your vlogs, the editing, the sounds; everything is so on point! I will go to Tokyo this December and will definitely go to some of the places mentioned in your vlogs ☺love from Thailand 🫶

[@notatkiet]

It's wonderful to see Japan through your eyes! Wonderful movie!

[@darrenngyh]

Man, you guys are killing it with the bgm! Create a Spotify playlist please 🙏

[@supercakewonder8]

The lantern lighting was beautiful!

[@blythegirl4348]

Hi guys! Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your great videos. Watched this last night and I must say it was very enjoyable to watch and I really enjoyed it. I may never make it to Japan but loved seeing it up close. You must be having so much fun there and glad you get to spend such a nice summer there! Thanks again and God Bless!

[@SamandVictor]

Appreciate it! Hope you get to go one day 🫶🏻

[@qewaw-o4m]

Something about rain in Japan is just aesthetically pleasing ☔

[@karinaa7686]

Such a nice vlog as usual 😊 You guys got to go to Kielo coffee too!! It was such a cute little shop from the outside with great coffee. We're reliving our Japan trip with your video today! Hope to see more common places that we had gone to in the springtime😃!!!!

[@SHIBASANAKE_]

Wow a hour vlog! Awesome guys, thanks!❤🎉

[@SamandVictor]

Sit back and relax! It's a "slow" guide haha

[@beverlyteh4676]

Wow you guys must be staying very close to where we stayed near Ueno. Super convenient with the multilevel supermarket and cosmetics store next to the cute park and cafe. There’s an amazing yakitori/motsunabe place called Daitoryo which has no English but is frequented by locals nearby. Best yakitori I’ve ever had-we still dream of the liver skewers haha! Enjoy!

[@dianebaker5243]

The food looked yummy 😋 and the shopping stores looked fabulous.🥰🥰

[@leilabashi2717]

we love your you guys and your videos , My husband and I watch them over and over , we love Tokyo too , Please post more

[@laviedevalentina]

Legit the only thing that makes my Mondays less Monday are your vlogs.

[@levanymalka]

Thx for letting me hear the hustle and bustle noises of Japan one more time...

[@konnichiwagwan]

I usually don't leave comments on KZbin in general, but just wanted to say that you guys are so cool having impeccable tastes on literally everything. I've been away from home for nearly two years and just watching this video made me feel so relaxed and as if I was back home ☺ Look forward to watching more of your videos and visiting all these cool places when I return!

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you 🫶🏼🙏🏻

[@macaroongaming5579]

watching your guys videos makes me realize how much I miss Japanese food 🥲

[@reyyygun46]

Thanks for the white Tshirt from The Bear info. Definitely will purchase it.

[@ElanVlog]

We plan to go there . This is a great help to know places and the foods to try. Make more videos 🎉

[@Taiyaki4Me]

Was saving this vid for when i could watch and savor it. Love the way you film. Really makes me want to rent a place in Japan for a month to enjoy it slowly. Like you said - being able to see things you wouldn’t notice when on a shorter trip. Another great video with great recommendations - thank you!

[@vernonandmaryana]

Always love all the cute shops you guys find on your travels!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

A few more weeks in Tokyo?! WOW! I'm so excited to think of your upcoming vlogs. Just got home from work, happy about the hot flaky pastry and coffee in front of me and now I see a new upload! Exactly what I feel like doing right now. JOY! 📺☕🥐 Your Ueno apartment has a kitchen so hopefully you'll be going to farmers markets and fancy delis/supermarkets for cooking stuff, showing us what's in the hidden grocery stores and fancy food places (regional rice speciality stores? Condiments, fresh vegetables, tofu etc. I'm so excited to see what you guys have planned. I thumbs up your videos before watching. One of the only channels that inspires such a rapid reaction, such is my loyalty, ha!

[@SamandVictor]

So happy to hear this! This comment excites us too haha. Victor made 'dinner' in this vlog 🤣 - see you in the next one too!

[@oncetwice2129]

Hoping to visit Japan next year! Definitely adding all your coffee recos to my itinerary!

[@Tokyo-Slim]

I really enjoy the laid back style of your videos. It's amazing considering how much coffee you both drink! :) I'm coming back to Tokyo in September, staying until after New Years. I bought a house in Koenji - and it also has a lot of vintage shops and cafes (like Shimokita)

[@ninithavincent5858]

your vlogs literally destress me!!😘

[@SamandVictor]

Happy to hear it!!

[@joeycheng22]

The family mart and lawson socks are just so cute!!!!

[@inbetweenworlds]

I will regret watching this vlog without a snack. I am on IF and so restraint is key but it's a Japan vlog and by Sam & Victor and so help me God! Lol. Capping off a hectic Monday with your slow vlog. Fabulous! 🎉❤😊

[@SamandVictor]

Get that snack! It's gonna be worth it hahaha! Hope your monday finishes great :)🥰

[@MN-oi4ic]

Ahh you guys in my favorite area again! So glad!! I’m not a big fan of Ueno and Akihabara (too crowded and not really my vibe) but these areas are close to Suehiro-cho ~ Asakusabashi area which are very chill and nice🎉 I really think the areas you visited this time has a similar atmosphere to Kuramae and Asakusa area😀

[@beatrice349]

Your work is always so aesthetic and inspiring with a touch of story telling. You guys also have warmth, honesty and a great sense of humor. Thanks for all the great videos. Sam, love your Salsa/Tomato/Pomedoro t-shirt! Where can I get it? Love how you styled it too! ❤🍅❤

[@SamandVictor]

Haha thank you so much! She got that t-shirt in bangkok i think

[@edwardsales5068]

I was sad, I was in Japan for the past three weeks and was hoping to run into you two since I literally watched your youtube videos for the past month prepping for Japan lol! You two are awesome, keep up the cool videos! I felt like I was living through your life everytime I entered a coffee shop lol! Hope to run into you two during December in next Japan trip!

[@natadecocosan]

I'm looking forward to your Tokyo vlog. I'm especially excited for your tips on cafes and restaurants! Thank you! I'm Japanese and I live in Tokyo. 😂 You know more than me!❤

[@SamandVictor]

Hahaha! Thanks so much :) great to meet you!

[@elyse3884]

[@SamandVictor]

That would be a dream come true 🥺

[@rianguerta]

Hi Sam! Just catching up on your Japan vlogs and they're so comforting to watch, thank you for that❤️ Just watched the lantern on the pond at the Ueno Park and I am enchanted. Also want to know the secret about how to know when and where something is happening 😅

[@SamandVictor]

I found it by chance actually while browsing timeout!

[@nyragwen2706]

Your trips always look so comfortable and just, overall so well put together! Do you plan the trips in some specific order? Booking hotels first, or transportation, etc... Amazing video!

[@andytran3116]

Excellent video image and overall filming quality. Very relaxing to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@luyanemfinger5945]

I think you guys are there at the same time as Ralph & Sam. You guys should totally meet up, I love both your vlog channels so much!!!!

[@24daerling]

Even 1 hour video feels short! I love watching your vlogs! I hope to watch Europe + central Asian countries too 😅

[@niyomwaitaya]

Hello from Thailand, I'm addicted to your channel so much. Love your content and video mood, so chill and relax to watch. I'm also Japan lover as I studied abroad in Japan in the past. Now I'm travelling in Japan also. And Today (26-Jul) I accidentally met you guys in Japanese restaurant at Sensoji Asakusa, so I was very happy and surprise. But I am afraid of offending you guys during having breakfast. I was really wanna tell you that I'm a huge fan of your clips. And I will support your channel either way. ❤

[@kalitalamba4711]

Replace coffee with matcha and this would be the perfect vlog 💚

[@1984zazen]

Thank you for making such a fashionable video of Tokyo🔥‼️🎌 (from one normal Japanese male)

[@toastnjam]

new subscriber!🫧 i’ve been trying to compile a future itinerary for my bf and i’s future trip to japan (our dream trip!) and i came across your guys’ channel after watching your kawagoe vlog! i love the tips & tricks a lot and it’s definitely motivating me to organize a game plan even though this trip will be in the future :)) also not related to the video, but sam literally looks like a walking painting :**) i can’t wait to see your future vlogs living in japan for a month!! i hope i get to have this long of a trip someday🥹

[@rannieahn]

I live in Omotesando , Tokyo , but I take notes while watching ur vlogs, lol.. I used to live in Komazawa area decades ago, so Jiyugaoka might be a fun place to visit 😊

[@SamandVictor]

Ooooh! Haha so many cool spots in your area too!

[@YordyTube]

Great video as always! Lovely to see Tokyo at a slower pace for a change… 👍🏼 Not sure if you guys already found it by now, but if not, I would highly recommend trying out Vault Coffee in Akihabara, and make sure not to miss their cinnamon toast! One of the highlights of our last extended stay in Tokyo… 👍🏼☕️ You will need to look a bit for the elevator, but it’s worth it!

[@SamandVictor]

Bookmarked!

[@tr8d3r]

I love your videos - so stylish and great taste in music as well. I spent 7 years living in Japan in the 90s / early 00s and go back periodically. I am thinking to do some short-term stays of a month or 2, until move back permanently. I saw that you are using Weave Living, was curious if you have used other furnished apartments and how you rate your experience with Weave. Anyway, love your videos and looking forward to the next ones ...

[@stevenshort1009]

Summer in Tokyo is a killer!!! I was there for a job interview this time last year. Phwoar. A suit in 40c heat and 2,000,000 % humidity.

[@jiggy1992]

The temperature is high during this season, and evening showers and sudden downpours are common, so we recommend bringing a compact folding umbrella with you when you go out.

[@ttya7197]

Welcome back to Tokyo 😊I like your video so much ❤

[@stacysagias3111]

You two are Bob Dylan art. ❤😊

[@AnnaAnna-zm1bp]

So inspiring! where is the first scene which there are a lot of vending machines?
