You guys did a great job. I used to live there but watch these video to see how other people enjoy my favorite cities and to see what’s happening currently as I’m coming next month. You guys were awesome and very respectful. I even enjoys the attempts to say things correctly and explain the culture. One note. One should not walk and drink or eat as you may bump someone and spill on them. A very Japanese thing I grew to live. Keep up the great work.

[@ProbablyLost]

Thanks for watching! We try our best to be as respectful as possible when traveling new places, but we definitely aren't experts. As we like to say, we make the mistakes so our viewers are more prepared than us if they go to these places. 😉 Thanks again for your kind words and tips!

[@TwoFreeTakos]

I studied abroad in Osaka from January to June and watching this video brought back so many awesome memories from my time there. Great video

[@ProbablyLost]

Wow! It must have been a fun city to live in for awhile. There is so much to see. We were surprised how large the city is. Thanks so much for watching!

[@smit5590]

I love how you bring in so much positivity, gratitude, and humility in this channel. Both of you are so genuine, adventurous, gracious, and humble. Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿♥️♥️

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! We love doing this so much, & love bringing it to other people. The world is huge, but the more we travel, the more we realize people everywhere tend to be the same. We all have much more in common than we think we do. Thank you so much again & thank you for taking the time to watch our videos!!!❤️

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much!!! We try to give a bit more details on places outside of just showing whatever we're doing. Honestly the places we visit are FAR more interesting than just us, so we want to give people as much insight into these cities as possible. Thanks so much for the kind words & for watching our video!:)

[@jackmeeellleee4896]

Well I might as well subscribe since I have been watching every day now for several days. Thank you for sharing parts of the world I will certainly never see myself and for your effervescent personalities. My wife studied in Japan for over a year in all, back in the eighties, and at one time was somewhat fluent in Japanese. I will pass her a link to your videos.

[@ProbablyLost]

Haha! Thanks for watching!! 😊 We absolutely love Japan! I imagine after a year there she saw some amazing sights. Our Japanese is extremely limited and being fluent is VERY impressive. Thanks again for your kind words & see you in the next one!

[@fufu5068]

Every time there's Osaka travel guide, I'd dropped a comment to recommend Tennoji Zoo. It's so underrated and free with Amazing Pass. You are the only one that highlight this zoo so far. Warms my heart to see the polar bear in the video again. Kaiyukan and Tennoji Zoo are killer combo if you bring kids to Osaka.

[@nateshf9303]

My wife and I stayed twice this year in Tennoji by Tobita Shinchi, probably the most bizarre and retro Japanese neighborhood.

[@ProbablyLost]

Man I'm so happy to hear this!! We love zoos and always try to include them when we can, but the price of this zoo was just too good to pass up. I will say though, we really wish we'd done a bit more research on the Amazing Pass. That would've been such a great addition to the video. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a comment & thanks so much for watching our video!!!

[@nateshf9303]

[@LAScriptwriter]

Another great video. The next time with go to Japan we have to make sure we have Osaka on our places to visit.

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much for watching!!:)

[@bandcrazyadventure]

Great video. We are heading to to Tokyo and Osaka in 3 days. So excited. We did want to ask why you didn't use the Amazing Osaka pass. For a small price it gets you into a bunch a places for no additional fees

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you!!! To be honest with you, we really didn't do a ton of research on the Amazing Osaka Pass prior to filming. It would've certainly made sense & would've been well worth it since it'd have been a fraction of the cost of the regular fare to go to the top of Tsutenkaku Tower. We definitely dropped the ball in that regard😅 We definitely recommend it though if you're going to have a few days where you dive super into the city!! Let us know if you do anything while you're there that we should've checked out. We plan to come back at some point & are already putting together a list of things to see & do for our next visit. Thank you so much for watching!!!:)

[@aprilthompson4146]

Thank you Nate!! We definitely know we aren't everyones 'cup of tea', but we do our best to show the places we visit & bring more than just us walking around the city doing things. We want to show these places, as well as try to tell them why they're important.

At least I can say I did rode a Ferris wheel in Osaka. 😂 That’s how I justified it! Thanks for watching Eddy. Japan is awesome and we had such a good time there.

[@PHILF-pv9dy]

I am currently in Osaka on my 8th day and I just want to go back home. More than half the place I go I don't feel welcome and there is a lot of tourist traps. Now I just don't know anymore where I can eat, drink or just hang atound. I feel extremely lonelly and I want to go home.

[@sirmione905]

I enjoyed your videos❤ Looking at your video list, I noticed that Japan was erased on the map on top. Any reason❓🤔

[@ProbablyLost]

Hi!!! Great catch!!! We actually had someone else bring this up to us a little while ago LOL. We got that map photo just off of Canva many months back & had never really looked closely at it until now😅 We've just updated that picture to make sure Japan was added. Thank you so much for catching that for us!!!!

How long does it take to visit Tennoji zoo? 1-2 hours?

Hi Sarah! You can definitely do it in an hour or two. It's honestly not very big, so if you go at a slow pace then you still only really need two hours tops. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!:)

It's only about 2 stations away from Namba station or a 20 minute walk from Dotonbori.

The standard Japanese used in Tokyo is an artificial language based on the words of the samurai of the Edo period and lacks emotional expression. The languages of Osaka and Kyoto are traditional and natural Japanese with emotional expressions.

Oh, that's a good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
