A Taste of Tokyo!

[@thiskidneedsmedicine]

omg i wanna go to Tokyo soo bad!! jealous

[@TifasKnight]

I burst out loud at 3:14 "COOL! TAIKO DRUMS!" That's so awesome, truly! You've given us two videos of Japan trips and this one I might prefer simply because, unlike Burstasia which is artistic but very fast moving, you've given us time to dwell and absorb some of the most beautiful locations and scenery (and intriguing urban spots) you visited while there and it is just gorgeous! Thank you for this glimpse, Shawna. I am very grateful.

[@NeyneyDeLonge]

I want to go so bad I could cry. I've been learning Japanese for the best part of this year and I've got a few lovely pen pals who I skype with and they send me pictures and things in the post and the more I learn about Japan the more I fall in love with it. The way you've filmed this video is really beautiful, the colours and the way you've captured everything looks absolutely magical and I'm so happy for you that you got to go

[@OpheliaVert]

I really enjoyed this; wonderfully put together! Have you been learning Japanese?

[@shawna]

Thank you! I learned as much as possible while there and am always learning a bit here and there.

[@chippzlemonz]

+Nanalew from anime you meen lol

[@betsyluevano3061]

My favorite part was ALL OF IT

[@itsnighohme]

+Betsy Levant same.

[@silentwhisp4r670]

More like Tokyo getting a taste of Nanalew!

[@EternalFail]

This video was amazing! I love how you put it together, it's probably one of my favourite travel videos

[@Slaimon91]

Thank you for showing and letting all of us not it tokyo experience it vicariously for a few minutes, that looked really fun, I'm so excited to visit there some day.

[@betkakasanicka]

That garden is rad! Please more of Japan. You looked super stoked about whole trip, good vibes. xo

[@Anoukvs91]

Now I wanna go to Tokyo! Looks like so much fun!!

[@sXeRalph]

This video made me smile the whole way through, it looked really fun.

[@PrOxAnto.]

It's so cool seeing you in Japan, discovering all those places and having SO MUCH FUN! Since it'll be a while since I can probably go myself this is a lovely way of seeing what's in Tokyo, and obviously seeing you there makes me even more happy :D Thanks Shawna!

[@shawna]

+PrOxAnto - AnthonyJellema Thanks for watching, pal!

[@digitalmimi]

Oh my god this makes me soooooo nostalgic. I miss living in Japan 😭

[@forshizzlemywizzle]

Dude, I love how you get a bad fortune and just laugh it off. I would probably spend the next 3 months avoiding mirrors and drinking holy water.

[@shawna]

Hahahahaha

[@Chalkgoop]

I love your video editing style! I love how there aren't tons of selfie style shots and that you actually show the area for what it is. I love the shots that have you in then too because you make the best faces. Totally going to take a book out of your editing page! Looks like it was a great trip too !

[@tenten32158]

My favorite part was the little bit you showed from Roppongi Illumination. I hope you walked to the end and saw the whole light show. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[@MelanieAnneAhern]

I want to visit Japan so badly it hurts 😭

[@shawna]

+Melanie Anne Ahern I hope you get to go!

[@veronicadeebee5250]

aw you look so radiant, like the special kind of radiant when one travels somewhere amazing and is filled with all the beauty. I cant wait to travel there! glad you had a great experience!

[@Sofolps]

I loved this, it's different from your other travel vlogy stuf and I lov eit, I love seeing you change and grow as time goes by.

[@DemonicKat3]

Absolutely loved this, I can't get enough of your videos! Much love!

[@shawna]

Thanks, Jared!

[@lordcoyote2000]

The drum place looked really fun.

[@christineishavingfun]

This was really really cool to see!! Made me want to put Japan on my list of countries to visit.

[@anadelrieth1662]

Everything looks so pretty and vibrant and colorful WOW

[@dragonlordwilkie4156]

You two looked so happy it reminded me of a 'slice of life' anime. I would travel there just for a day at the Onsen followed by a dinner in that garden. Japan is beautiful.

[@SwankeyMonkey]

My two favorites finally come together, Shawna and Japan. Awesomeness ensues.

[@shawna]

✌🏻️✌🏻

[@TotalConScience]

The first bit with the kawii monster cafe gave me a sensory overload. Looks like a lot of fun though, I know getting a taste of another country is such a blessing. Glad for the safe trip

[@sweediefish]

This just gave more reasons on why I want to go Tokyo. Good video though! I love it! But i really want to go now tho... Especially to the Kawaii monster Cafe.. That place was ADORABLE!

[@glass_wrld]

This is by far my favorite video on this site, please consider coming back to youtube :(

[@laneylikewhoa]

It looks like you had so much fun!! Minus the walking on rocks bit-half fun, half pain. Hahaha. Yay!! And filming this to keep as a memory that lives on is the BEST. That's what I majorly regret about London.

[@shawna]

+Laney Penn It was pretty great, and a lot warmer than I expected, which was a treat.

[@allotmental.]

I've been to Tokyo many times (and other parts of Japan), such a brilliant place!!

[@QuickTheDanishGeordie]

Best part has to be the squirrel laughs when you were on the garden bridge in the ukata's... :D

[@Evershear]

OMG! .. actual size Gundam. wow. ...well looks like you had a good time, glad you got to go.

[@npegg]

Ahhh Tokyo flashbacks. What an amazing place on earth.

[@jurgenvandenbogert344]

At first i thought the restaurant garden would be the best thing. but then the gundam statue beat that by like a tenfold. thank you so much for sharing this

[@itsnighohme]

*cries* TAKE ME BACK

[@Lily.valkyrie]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTYYYY

[@theasr]

you always choose the most beautiful music, Shawna.

[@zolloc]

i want to go to tokyo

[@AmbersPlayhouse]

Great video Shawna. Japan looks amazing! Makes me want to visit even more now. Maybe someday! Keep doing amazing things!

[@cherrycheerry]

thanks for posting videos, you give me soo much happiness! love you!

[@shawna]

+cherrycheerry Thanks for watching!

[@JoshuaFletch]

That Gundam is ridiculous. Also, might I recommend Shawn's friend's owl video to everyone forever.

[@JoshuaFletch]

***Shawna's friend*** You could go find Shawn's friend but I don't know the guy so good luck with that.

[@ElementalmanEXE]

+Josh Fletcher itsnomers

[@JoshuaFletch]

CodeNameZed Yes indeed.

[@rebelmvnchkin]

This was such an amazing video, Shawna! I'm so happy you got to go to Japan and have an awesome experience there :3

[@shawna]

😘😘

[@ChrisChavers1]

Gundam 00. Easily the best gundam series I ever watched. I laughed, I cried, I cried some more. Ugh, good times.

[@stevenadams8879]

I am so jealous!!! glad you all had a good time though!

[@sokkar1]

to me Japan has always been like the Unltimate place to be, and this video did not disappoint one bit. glad you had fun !

[@Cmac-gw4it]

Sweet Tokyo looks like so much fun. most definitely going to plan a trip for 2016. I just hope everything plans out

[@jadeddeath02]

I just came back from Japan and absolutely loved it!! I can't wait to go back to Tokyo! 4 days there was not enough time!! That being said, I spent 3 days in Hiroshima (got to visit Rabbit Island! BUNNEHS!!!) and spent a week in Okinawa; the snorkeling was fantastic!!

[@n4th4ni3lmc5]

I enjoyed seeing you without red lipstick (and with less make-up in general), it draws so much attention that I didn't recognize your natural beauty on this scale so far. Try this more often. And I liked the traditional japanese garden a lot!

[@nowgaku]

This is the best footage of something like Tokyo, but Tokyo is the most mysterious place on this planet. If you doubt it, please come to check it by yourself. And enjoy your life while you are alive.

[@TheWonderMirror]

You're making me so homesick for Tokyo... I want to go back so bad

[@EvanYTMusic]

Ahhh everything looked so amazing !!! You're so lucky ! ! xD Also damn that Gundam is huge. o_o

[@Tony_AM009]

That looked amazing and enjoyable. I noticed a Pikachu at that Kawaii Monster Cafe. At first, I wasn't sure what my opinion was of the location. Then I saw that dessert. If I ever get to go to Japan with enough money, I want to go there, among other places like anything related to Pokemon and swords. That Gundam statue looked so damn big and awesome! Made me ponder about Power Rangers, Zoids, and other stuff that I can't recall at this moment. I want to go to Japan, too. Sigh. Glad you seemingly had a great time. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

[@willmenser]

I know this is Japan, but this reminds me of how much I desperately want to visit Seoul. Traveling is something that I want to do a ton of whenever I graduate, and Seoul, as well as many other places such as Japan, would be awesome places to go! Awesome video Shawna!

[@shawna]

I'd love to visit Seoul too. Oh man.

[@GWYNZILLAAA]

Omg, dat gundam!!! I was just in Osaka and it was fantastic! The Osaka aquarium really puts the ripleys aquarium to shame in comparison, it's unreal. Amazing food and atmosphere as well. Much more laid back than Tokyo I found.

[@shawna]

AQUARIUM YASSSSS

[@CultrCnnundrm]

such an amazing city!!! I haven't toured Asakusa though I should've when I was there! I totally missed the garden, onsen, and that garden eatery spot! Shibuya was definitely my spot among some other non-main district areas... I definitely was diggin the garden spot near the Tokyo Tower (I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THAT!!!) I recommend the next time you get to go back (i hope you do!!!) Akihabara (the tech district), Azabu-Juban for a quaint people watching spot, Ebisu, Odaiba, Ginzam and Shinagawa are all fantastic!!!

[@flokser021]

So fine video from Tokyo , Nanalew ,

[@Nononanette1]

This is a good Japan-guide video. I've always wanted to go to Japan but I have no idea what to do there or how to make the best out of my stay. All of these places look like fun! Thank you, I'll probably use this for guidance. ...Also, I'd like to go to a Pokemon center too so...

[@shawna]

+Kai Somethingoranother I'm so glad! Make sure you head to an onsen - it was amazing. I would recommend Kaguwa theatre in Roppongi and booking tickets to the Ghibli Museum a month ahead if you want to go.

[@matttcameron_]

Japan is the one place I want to visit more than anywhere! I would love to live there for a year and really get to see and experience everything! I am super jealous of that sushi you ate though.

[@katherinekane3134]

This is awesome! I lived there for a year and it was the best time of my life. Wish I had done a vlog of it! :)

[@no_i_dont_want_no_slugs]

Looks like an amazing trip! Man, Iron Blooded Orphans is one of my favourites this season too!

[@hanfffff]

very nice video! i really enjoyed it, remembering the year i lived there myself. looks like you had a great time. i'm looking forward to more travel-videos from you!. :D

[@athenamonroe7401]

I'M SO FANCY, YOU ALREADY KNOW! I'M IN THE FAST LANE, FROM L.A. TO TOKYO.

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

Excellent video... I just wish there was more :-)

[@thebpphantom]

You look so happy. Just having a great time. So good :)

[@AdamUPNow]

YASSSS, Travels in Japan! The West need more Giant Robots laying around.

[@MykaGhostt]

This makes me want to go even more than I already did

[@emiyakk]

omg i didnt know it was possible, but i love you more than i did a month ago ... your footage was great and so fun o watch!

[@emiyakk]

same haha ^_^

[@Live4TheMomentJH]

Japan is so beautiful

[@natgl11]

I am so incredibly jealous!!

[@demianhaki7598]

My gosh it's beautiful.

[@iamsolia]

So cool that you went to Japan! How long were you there? The Kawai Monster Cafe looks amazing!!!!

[@ChunkamunkFischer]

This made me even more excited for my trip to Japan. I'm going next summer, hopefully, for my grad trip. Are there any places you recommend as a must see?

[@lulucia7752]

it's dream go Tokyo !! 💕😍 it's beautiful !

[@lulucia7752]

your are Good Luck !!!!!

[@mylinhlamnguyen2351]

love you I

[@whateverlove11]

It all looked so beautiful!

[@Olgaleigh]

just awesome! great work

[@davidmichael1912]

Great editing! I'm jealous. I've always wanted to visit Japan.

[@Pawznhooves]

Wow, it looks beautiful! Now I really want to go there! Although when you guys were squealing in the (spa?) where you were getting a foot bath and stuff, I couldn't help but thinking how amused the locals were.

[@itsnighohme]

+Art N' Heart they were squealing too xP

[@Pawznhooves]

Haha, okay!

[@ihartevil]

thx for this amazingly ha bisky vlog i loved this so much

[@beastlysun]

on my way to Osaka this summer. I hope it will be awesome as Tokio

[@Beebs44]

I went to Japan in in April over spring break for one of my classes and we stayed in a town right outside of tokyo. We traveled to all of the main districts in Tokyo and visited a lot of temples/shrines/gardens for the educational aspect. But one of the temples we went to was the Sensoji temple, and my friends and I went to the Oedo onsen one night too! You guys seemed like we weren't there for too long, why such a short trip?

[@shawna]

We were there for a week, but this footage was from three days. We went with Link Nation to encourage tourism to Tokyo!

[@hyugun9]

Loved this video!

[@GameOn_gamers]

you and tessa should go japan :D! love the video though!

[@Ultimate_Ace]

I went to shibuya for this years halloween. now picture what you saw when you crossed only you couldnt see the road because there were literally a million people crossing at once. Odaiba (where the gundam is) was super pretty. i would totally like to live in that area

[@8heartbeat]

Oh why oh why... I live in Tokyo/use to work in Shibuya, and I loved you for so long Nanalew!!

[@shawna]

Oh man I'd love to!

[@MrHammertime82]

Shawna, only you could go to the Kawaii monster cafe and still be the most kawaii thing in the place

[@sarairamirezsanchez9016]

Wonderful trip!!

[@ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

Tokyo is always a good idea. I can't wait to go back to Japan in January.

[@shawna]

+ELCNUmorFnaMehT Whereabouts are you headed?

[@ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

+Nanalew This time to Niseko in Hokkaido - two weeks snowboarding. I am slightly excited.

[@shawna]

+ELCNUmorFnaMehT !!!!!

[@VLicious8704]

I want to go SO much, Japan has officially replaced New Zealand as my #1 bucket list destination. (I mean, I still want NZ on the list, but Japan is something so very different from all I know.)

[@roylindsey7030]

You're too funny! Oh, and you looked like a giant inside that restaurant with the garden ;)

[@InnerBluePerson]

Is Japan even more amazing in person? It looks so cool hope to visit someday, great video! Arigato! :-)

[@happyjollyranchers]

What camera do you use to film? Do you use a dslr to vlog? I have a canon 60d but I worry it's too heavy. Loved the video btw! Someday I hope to go to Japan!

[@shawna]

I used a canon g7x for this but the focus is so bad that I returned it

[@happyjollyranchers]

+Nanalew Good to know! Thanks! You're kind of my idol :)

[@MrAlterior]

Well, that was adorable.

[@PinkGrapefruit22]

Natsukashii~

[@JustOneGyaru]

Great video makes me wanting to visit Japan as soon as possible again! Hopefully my next flight will be in december! ^0^

[@renahabben8468]

Nanalew I know this video is about you and Japan. But have you ever been to Australia and spent time in a town called Metung ?

[@joshfrigo4260]

i just came back from japan recently as well and im pretty sure we both stood in the same place in the starbucks at shibuya crossing to film it haha

[@shawna]

That Starbucks is a gift to those with cameras 😘

[@watanabehifumi]

大阪にも遊びに来て下さい＾＾食の文化は、楽しめますよ

[@RustyClantonOfficial]

YUMMMMM

[@deepthinkerpoet]

Thank you for sharing! Japan is on my short list for travel. This just makes me want to go more. I know this is off topic, slightly, but any thought on saving money for trips like this? Or just ways to not "spend the world" when booking?

[@mooments]

Ugh, now I really want to go to Japan, like, more than the ridiculous amount I already want to go... GOOD ONE, SHAWNA! D:
