How Much I Spend Living in Tokyo - Weekend Edition 💸

[@seerasan]

I'm curious how much y'all spend on the weekend hanging out with friends where you live! More or maybe even less than me??💰🫢 Lemme know below!

[@randxalthor]

Some of the places we end up on the weekend total as much as you spent all day just for dinner! Just tax + tip can be as much as you spent on your whole dinner in the youkocho. Can't wait to go back to Japan!

[@joshdholsinger933]

9,461.00 Japanese Yen = 60.36 US Dollar Last updated · June 8 at 9:00 PM UTC that's not bad for everything you did

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

I spend zero. My frens spend their money on me 😈

[@InVerum]

In LA what you spent wouldn't cover the cost of two people getting brunch :( - Trying to replicate what you did would probably be around $100 USD per person, maybe more depending on dinner - and of course Ubers, because good luck using our god awful public transit.

[@o0dimensia0o]

friends? what are those?

[@Lyssakay]

Spending time with you = priceless! Thanks for having me along!❤

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

This woman radiates joy and happiness she makes her videos so enjoyable to watch

[@toconmoi]

Thanks!

[@seerasan]

Thank you so much 🫶😁

[@michaelk4896]

This pretty much encapsulates what I love about Tokyo. There's always something to do or place to go to.

[@RaymondwLin]

This is cool, more than how much you spent but also a mini tour of central Tokyo. Fun watch! The editing too has improved too!

[@seerasan]

Thanks! Surprisingly was a super quick edit for me this time 😝

[@areasevenpro]

Pro Tip: When buying a digital camera in Japan, make sure there's an option for English menu. Brands such as Canon, Nikon, and Sony have language options; however, some Panasonic and Fuji models don't. Most of the staff at Bic Camera or Yodobashi Camera is nice enough to change the menu to English for you.

[@CFxRenaissance]

Seerasan is such a bubbly and radiant person! She finds joy in all the little things in life. I want to start having a similar mindset to hers. Keep up the great content!

[@seerasan]

Thank you 🥺 Daily positivity is the happiest way to live! 💞

[@vernonmontoya2449]

great vlog . Nice to see you hsng out with Alyssa again. Glad you enjoyed your day.

[@technosteed4644]

13:18 Fun fact: The last scene of Lost in Translation where Bob an Charlotte hug was shot at the corner back there.

[@001suisen4]

It was a grotesque, racist trash movie. Western women who can speak Japanese won't be isolated in Japan. Westerners who can't understand the abnormality of that movie are racists after all.

[@JelloPuddingFood]

What a fun day. Nice weather, nice friends, nice food. Really made me want to travel there. Maybe someday.

[@dreemwalka]

This friend IS a vibe ngl

[@ECTOdash1]

Have you seen the film Perfect Days? It's about a Tokyo toilet cleaner and it's basically a tour of all the fancy loos, including that transparent one.

[@TheCreepypro]

interesting to see how much she spends and it is nice to see her spend time with her friends having fun as well!

[@datlam7836]

Awesome vlog of your weekend while showing how much things cost. Would definitely like to see more! Great recs for visitors to see and potentially experience.

[@RithSV]

Just waving back to the guy at 8:13 👋🏽

[@seerasan]

I didn't notice that while editing, good catch! 👋

[@jinta-01]

I am Japanese. I understand very little English. But watching your videos, I can see that you understand Japanese culture and enjoy it. I can feel that you genuinely enjoy Japan. That makes me very happy😊

[@t3nosanfran803]

Wonderful chemistry between Sarah and Alyssa! Really enjoy your duo-videos than any others. BTW: The public toilet segment was hilarious !

[@huntressfantravels6725]

Thanks for the video! I've always enjoyed your day in the life(and the cost of going out) videos. Coincidentally, that DJI Pocket 3 camera is one that I’ve had my eye on, so I’m looking forward to seeing it used in a future video! I've gone through different cameras during my Japan trips: 2015 - DSLR(too bulky), 2017 - 360 camera(low resolution), 2018/2019 - small Sony camera(not as good for nighttime videos), 2022 - mirrorless+ gimbal (a bit too unwieldy). And the DJI Pocket 3 seems like it might handle all my previous issues 😅

[@ellen_globetrotter3783]

You're not alone! I hate shopping! lol but trying food and restaurants? I'm in!!

[@ajlawrence867]

I love technology, that little camera is badass

[@praeothmint2273]

I saw the "Shrine carry" in Jimbocho this May when I was visiting... Very fun to watch!

[@silverian]

New DJI camera looks tiny and handy to use! Nice to see famous Omoide Yokocho! 9461 yen is something like 55 euros. It sounds very typical weekend sum when I younger used to spend time with my friends in the city life.

[@turntabuler78]

It is interesting to hear that you feel stress in shopping with the reasons understandable, but you look fun in the shopping walk probably because of being with a good friend.

[@keithlambell1970]

What a wonderful day out. Really love the atmosphere of that alley.

[@zoeb6778]

Just got back from a 2 week trip in Japan (1st time there). Food was SO good and cheap! Had a 3 course fancy meal for 2,000 yen! Never walked so much in my life! (15,000-18,000) steps a day! My feet and legs are still recovering. One thing that I noticed, there are not many places to sit and rest (except for parks and a few seats waiting for trains). Had a great time and hope to go back soon! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@Elektrokissa]

This was maybe the best Seerasan episode i have seen. _Noice_ 👍

[@azukar93]

I've been considering that camera too. I hope you can show us a review. Maybe 2 or 3 clips without edit that we can download in order to check the quality in the video editor. P.S love your videos i really enjoy to know about Japan and your adventures 🤗🤗

[@PBandJ25]

What a beautiful summer Sunday outing! You and your friends look like you had so much fun! 😃

[@Fujisan.A]

Alyssa, yaay... 😍 Very nice Tokyo-in-summer vibe, you can almost hear the cicadas. You didn't know about the Hanazono-jinja matsuri? tsk tsk, preparation, sister... 😁 Lucky coincidence then, it looked good. Thanks guys

[@lexnite22]

I've been looking at the DJI pocket 3 with the 'Creators Pack', for while. Such a solid set up!

[@tososhin]

Love the vid. The rental scooters are scary! I never use them: you have no idea when they were last repaired, if they've ever been in any accidents, if they are in need of repairs, if the wheels are still aligned, or how the breaks are holding up, and they can go at really fast speeds.

[@TheKadato]

Oh this is going on my japan list. Definitely stopping by that izakaya

[@tfwordschannel]

That vegan place looks good. Ill have to see where exactly it is and check it out when Im there next. I almost bought the DJI Pocket Osmo 3 but bought the Insta360 instead. How is it?

[@lizardears4861]

Always good to see a fellow Aussie perception in Japan and sometimes the German perspective.😊

[@GL-GildedLining]

Gratz on the DJI! One of the best pieces of camera gear in the history of camera gear.

[@jorgesaki7849]

Hi Sarah, I put like to this video and I hope a little help to buy your Osmo camera😂😂😂. Nooooo the truth.....I want more contents☺

[@arceus54321]

it's cool seeing so many familiar spots haha. i've been meaning to go to move cafe, but for their pudding because they're well known for it. also, the vegan cafe looks really good and reasonably priced. i really liked this video with alyssa

[@andrewwylie8968]

Aloha from Maui 🌈 Thank you for sharing your adventure. You two are having a lot of fun 😊I will be in Fukuoka for three weeks in June and July. Your inspiring me to just walk around and explore.

[@mrmatz408]

I wanted that camera as well! I hope they told you that it’s not water resistant…. Love your videos! I’m going to be in Shinjuku in about a month and am really looking forward to roaming around a bit.

[@SRTarlow]

What a fun video. Thank you! You always bring a sparkle to the work you do-and your eyes sparkle-it's enjoyable to see :)

[@germboy007]

OMG jealous,pocket 3, specially in japan is soo good because nobody wants to pullout a huge camera with a gimbal, except when your a tourist🎉🎉🎉

[@ojyochan]

Hanging out with friends in big cities is my favorite content❤

[@jafrazer]

I have a DJI Pocket 2, and I highly recommend it. Looks like the Pocket 3 has improvements on top of it. I can't wait to see what videos you make with it!

[@andgainingspeed]

Congrats on pulling the trigger on the new camera! Looks like it'll be much lighter, as well as mentioned, more discreet. Every place people seem to have different reactions to having their image captured, even indirectly. Would love to see an episode on general etiquette in in Japan with regard to photography/videos in public areas. Seems like more YT creators are pixelating/blurring random people in their content more than they use to. With the Japanese being notoriously shy, it makes sense.

[@dadabooey]

8:45 … coffee and train … so nice :)

[@daru9346]

I'm travelling through Japan this year. I can't wait to try some of these spots

[@deptofcarstereorepair]

enjoy the new camera! Hopefully your purchase will give me the courage to finally go for a guitar I've been heavily considering for almost a month now

[@lisahynes3967]

Found your channel recently and really enjoy your content. Please keep sharing 😊. Had the pleasure of vistiting Japan in 2018 and really want to visit again! Love all your videos and hope to visit many of the places you have shared ❤

[@VerhoevenSimon]

I love these vlogs, a cozy vibe and some interesting spots.

[@tambraswan5163]

Thanks for the video! I am in Tokyo several times a month for work and just followed your trek to the same store to buy the same camera bundle. It is cheaper here and tax free sure helps make the decision easier. Love your channel and all the great advice! You make short work of finding fun things to do!

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

Memory lane was a really cool spot! I did the all you can eat and drink at one of the yakitori places and it was so much fun! I miss Japan so much! It's been a year and a half and I still feel the pull to go back! I'm actually working on saving up money to buy a house out there so I can go when I want and not have to pay for a bunch of hotels. Much love from Arizona 💜💜

[@danhach7571]

i love your stuff. Good vibes all the time. I really enjoy coffee stuff.

[@dodiatkins4515]

Please continue with this series. I absolutely loved this amazing video.😊

[@MiddleAgedSwedeGoesForAWalk]

Have to admit, I'm not one to go out for weekends like this so can't really compare with what it would've cost in Sweden, but the total ended up cheaper than I would've guessed considering how many places you stopped for food and drinks, and additional costs such as the karaoke. As for the camera, I've also been looking at the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for a while now. I have been using it's predecessor, the Pocket 2, for a couple of years and been seriously thinking about upgrading.

[@jdtoledo]

Congrats on your new camera. I am undecided if I will get the pocket 3 or the insta ace pro

[@rachelaltify]

I loved this video - you and your friend had such a nice, fun day!

[@loganhanssen6004]

The Luup QR Code worked when I scanned it from your video from my phone in the States.

[@seerasan]

Good to know! 🙂

[@hehehdg]

This is a great video about weekend activities! Even though I'm Japanese, I'd love to try some of these ideas😊

[@leelahland]

Thanks for sharing prices in Tokyo at the moment, I'm keen to see more spending breakdowns if you're happy to film/make them. Good luck with the new camera, glad that Japan is still cheaper than Australia for tech, I'll keep that in mind next time I visit.

[@Kawinwu]

Great purchase! The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is amazing and hope you will love it!

[@seerasan]

Thanks! I’ve tested it out and loving it so far! Gonna release a video using it soon 😁

[@lloroshastar6347]

It's interesting that momo yakiroti is chicken on a skewer because in Tibet momo is their name for dumplings (gyoza).

[@SherringtonBun]

It would be scary if there was a malfunction in the electronics of that public restroom and the glass becomes transparent while you're doing your business. And good purchase with the Osmo 3. Lots of improvements over Osmo 2 which I own. Good tiny stabilized 4K camera perfect for vlogging and creating high quality content for your channel. I would be interested to see the quality in low light situations though. What camera do you currently use for vlogging?

[@SammichParty]

what a cozy outting! thanks as always, Sarah! 🍻

[@alexalexiev2575]

I agree that shopping is stressful, for all the same reasons. 😅 Online shopping has made it easier/faster at least, even with the cons, but yeah, it you don't have money or a very tight budget, it's always stressful. 😅

[@rachelsaelid6081]

I really want to go to that izakaya with the vegetarian menu! Thanks for sharing!

[@camcamcammzy]

Congratulations on your purchase ;) Am looking forward to seeing your new content with it.

[@aki138]

If you go to Tokyo, I recommend you to eat ramen. Not popular ramen among tourists like Ichiran, Ippudo. I highly recommend Ramen Jiro. It’s really local shop. But you have to search how to eat before visiting. There are some rules.

[@BenFox01]

LOVE THESE VLOGS!! You literally remind me of me when I was vlogging... ANYWAY! QuestionL When did you film this? As I was planning a trip in June but FREAKING out about HEAT & Humidity.... But it looked okay there!! Thanks! Sorry 4 caps

[@sergioin3D]

wow that’s so cool, the kanji like that is so dope; thank you for sharing

[@fraugrave5583]

So many funny moments. 🤣 Love your videos! 💜

[@badgerinabluedress4866]

10:26 Lyssa '...oh I'm making the news tonight!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@solstickan]

One of my go to camera places when in Tokyo is Map Camera in Shinjuku, they have both used and new stuff. They are pretty much next to the Yodobashi you went to in Shinjuku. :P

[@seerasan]

I'll have to check that out, never heard of that one before! 📷

[@solstickan]

@@seerasan They always have pretty good prices, especially on the used items. :) Love your videos, gives me a lot of ideas for my next visit!

[@usamenser]

3:22 いただきます🙏！熱い焼きそばとたこ焼きを食べる時は冷たいビールを飲むべきでしょ～🍺 Itadakimasu! When you eat hot yakisoba and hot takoyaki, you should drink cold beer. That would make you much happier.

[@NoFace89-z6z]

Such a fun vid to watch! Wish I knew about that vegan spot earlier this year! 🍜🍵⛩️

[@dodiatkins4515]

Sending love ❤️ from SanDiego. Thank you for this amazing video.😊

[@marcc5353]

Keep up the gr8 vlogging ❤❤ my partner and i are in Japan for 2 weeks atm, so thanks 4 all of ur previous uploads 🙏

[@incognito_tk2424]

It’s interesting Tokyo’s wonder places and so funny ❗️🫶🇯🇵 Have you enjoyed it?!.. I’m looking forward to see your video‼️🎉👍🇯🇵

[@candi1]

I will be in Tokyo in a few weeks. You have given me the best tips on where to eat like a local... Thank you!

[@halcyonandon]

What a fun video, such a vibe! I probably spend a lot less, I like to go hiking, skating or to the beach which is pretty cheap fun :)

[@th9540]

ARIGATOOO for good delivering good movies in Japan. I was born and raised in Japan. Now I’ve been living in outside of Japan as a working holiday. That’s why this film makes me helpful to study English. And besides it’s very interesting to know how you spend time in my country. I hope you would keep delivering such a wonderful movie 🎥 🐙

[@hay_cici]

I like your blogs. Pretty cool. And entertaining. The only reason why i found you. Was bc i just got a pocket 3 and i saw that video you posted but subscribed now 🔥love the videos🔥

[@Gamer_Man_Bathwater]

Looks like a great place to hang out, that was very entertaining

[@doublesdetailer7709]

Seera not like Squid Balls (SHOCK). Ha ha love the Camera distraction shopping trip. Congratulations Saeera

[@RawWrath]

Man all your vids make me so freaking jealous but I got to watch all of them

[@Ren_Brands]

Fun Video, always great to see you with Lyssa.

[@slax4884]

Loving these videos :)

[@SupremeMaykr]

The little alleyway is so charming

[@eczeema]

22:58 You are ✨sparkling✨ literally

[@wywarren]

A takoyaki technique I sometimes use is to use the two skewers as chopsticks. This is still me when I scald my mouth though . All worth it!

[@TimChuma]

Can confirm buying cameras in Australia is $$$. Was cheaper to pay $400 to get mine fixed than even to buy a second hand full frame camera. I have a spending tracker app I have to put in stuff manually which I needed when I was on a severe budget. As soon as you start going out in Melbourne for the weekend it costs hundreds of dollars.

[@specialk9999]

The takoyaki is supposed to be picked up whole with one stick and eaten whole. Thank you for taking me through memory lane with all the places you went to.

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Love this series!

[@andrewthornquist5141]

I don't have any friends so i don't usually spend much on the weekends. 🙂

[@TheKingOfBeans]

I’ll be your friend if you give me half of those savings

[@nichi8125]

日本には1人でも楽しめる事が沢山ありますよ！食事も1人で食べる事は普通です！何時か日本へ

[@danni6257]

9461 yen is around £47, that's not bad for a weekend 😊 Glad you had a great time 😊

[@VanillaCoke1956]

When I lived in Tokyo, I probably spent about... 3000-4000 yen on a weekend? It depended on whether I was alone or had friends visit (because most of my friends lived outside Tokyo) but if solo, I probably spent that amount. But this is very much a me thing because I only ate one big meal a day and spend most of the time in parks, gardens or just walking around random neighbourhoods so I didn't really spend much money at all.

[@nguyenhaison334]

i have the same bowl with the one store strawberries at end of video

[@Jay_Wolfe]

The latte art at 0:51, I would say is a red panda.

[@niwa1945]

Seerasan, have realized how much you are rich. Also, so many info you sent us with happy vlogs. By the way, Alyssa need experience more how to eat Takoyaki.

[@kanzaki0001]

I need to get a region 2 blu ray, that will be my electronics purchase when I get back to Tokyo. I bought a rice cooker last year, not the flashiest purchase. I was looking at MacBooks but I never pulled the trigger when I was 😂 You can technically say you’re camera purchase is a business expense
