I see comments criticizing your Japanese pronunciation or urging you to do more research before visiting, but don't worry about that at all! The reason I enjoy watching your vlog is exactly because of your travel style; it's not simply consuming items heavily researched on the internet before visiting. It's so much fun to see you just dive into a place, walk around parts unknown, and experience the surprises and excitement of discovering stuff you never expected. I'm Japanese, and we know the pronunciation of those Roman letters is too confusing. Nobody thinks you're being disrespectful just because you can't pronounce those names perfectly. It's rather cute, actually 😂

[@chel_lotus]

I agree! I love that Zane just goes with the flow 🦦. His curious wander is what makes his videos special.

[@BaldLezB_In]

Im arriving in japan this week, i cant wait to just wander

[@ChovyTravel]

Hi Zane 👋 my hubby and I enjoy watching your vlogs! 🥰 we’re planning to go to Japan later this year and your recent vlogs are everything 🩵 have a great time in Japan!

[@kitty72ily]

We just got back from our Japan trip and it’s crazy for me to now be able to now be able to recognize the areas you were in!! Haha Japan is amazing and I can’t wait to go back!

[@TheAlex808]

Was there for only a week last month and now I am planning on a month-long trip to Japan next year 😂

Watching all the way from New York City and I really enjoyed Asakusa when I was there this past January ‘24

[@Atreides217]

Another fun video...absolutely love Japan and Tokyo!!!

[@ぴけ-u1q]

Nice to meet you. I am a Japanese who loves to travel. I would like to learn English in order to enjoy traveling abroad to the fullest, and I will also learn English by watching your wonderful vlogs. I look forward to your updates.

It was a bit early to enjoy sakura blossoms in Japan. This year, their blooming was about 5 days later than the average year. You're lucky to see one tree almost fully blossomed. Hopefully, you'll come back and enjoy many sakura trees in full bloom next year. By the way, you don't need to worry about your Japanese pronunciation or your vlog style. I'm Japanese, but I know it's difficult for foreigners to pronounce Japanese, just as English is difficult for us. And I like your vlog style of exploring towns and dropping in anywhere you're curious about. Tourists don't necessarily have to go to the most famous places or eat the most popular food. Everyone has their own way of enjoying things.

[@Tomo-xi1xe]

Don't worry if you get a bad result from a Japanese omikuji. It is a sign that more and more good luck will come after this. I wish you safe travels and good luck!

[@zanetravel]

Good to know! 😀 thank you!

[@mamaikeda82]

The crumble on that mochi is kinako, made from soy beans. It's so funny how you like my favorites!! The mitarashi mochi and all of the fruit sours that you drink. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you!

Love your videos❤️❤️my favorite youtuber🙌

You was so close to Asakusa shrine, you walked to the front gate then down the back alley.

[@El_.5794]

He should be using google map to guide him at least

[@Its-Kat_]

Exactly, I live off of Google Maps.

[@Tzippi]

I’m super excited to go to Japan. Thank you for your Vlogs. Have you thought about going to the countryside instead of the shopping areas and tourist areas all the time? Have a great day!

[@El_.5794]

Yeah, he missed the country side of Japan. It wouldn’t be difficult since there are trains to go there.

[@UntappedShesources]

Thank you for sharing your travels I look forward to your videos!

[@thelonelyamazonian7039]

Wow! I always love the way you present your videos Zane. Your Japan Series are Amazing. 👍 Watching all the way from the UK🇬🇧! Your GoPro footage is beautiful as always. And, I just want to say that You are ✨The Best 💫! ✌️

Good afternoon here in Japan! Don’t use to comment on videos, but see your travels give me some kind of happiness! Hope you enjoyed your stay here and come back soon! Ah! You should go to Okinawa the next time! You’ll feel in Japan but won’t either! 😂

Hi Zane! I am new to your channel!! Been watching all your old videos! Great channel! Blessings from Chicago Illinois 🙏

There you are! Missed you on your other channel. Guess because you're traveling. Enjoy!

[@shyusaku]

You visit Japan in best season!

[@ThatNinjaGuy]

If you want to see Sakura in Tokyo but don’t want to deal with crowds or tourist I recommend going to Nerima-ku. Tons of Sakura there and barely any tourists. I would recommend Oizumi Gakuen’s Sakura Dori. It’s beautiful the road loads like a sakura tunnel.

[@AC-xd7sw]

more japan videos pls

[@El_.5794]

While I’m not in Japan this time, I’ll settle for the yearly cherry blossom festival at Branch brook in New Jersey. Last time I went, there were dances, flower arrangements, food stalls and arts. The best was the cherry trees on peak bloom, all pink and white trees. For now, Sakura festival in Japan is on my bucket list.. soon 😉

[@tom1sog]

Those bare trees you walked by in Ueno were sakura trees! The sakura were very late this year due to unseasonal cold weather in March.

Would LOVE you to come to Australia!! Have really enjoyed all your Japan videos What would you do in Australia?

It is well known that the fortune-telling slips at Sensoji Temple have a high probability of being bad luck. My friend drew them three times, and they all ended up with bad luck. 😂 Once you tie them up, there is no need to worry. Don't worry. 日本を楽しんで下さい🇯🇵日本人より

[@ElaineSade]

Do you mind including the date this video was recorded in the caption? I really enjoy your adventures and knowing the dates would really help me with planning my Japan trip.

[@miami5am]

FYI...Asakusa Sensoji Temple is well known with 'Bad Fortune'. My husband pulled 'bad fortune' and he didn't like it and pulled again, and he pulled 'bad fortune' again. Fortunately nothing bad happened to him, so you will be fine :)

You want to make sure that 'bad fortune' doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's BS anyway but I can understand why it could be bothersome. "Expectations for ourselves influence outcomes."

[@nunodeazevedo]

Thank you for the video, but why don't u use Google maps so you know we're u are? It's pretty easy to miss places there, one wrong turn and you go to a different area 😂

Hope that fortune was burned away and turned around for you, what a bummer. On a positive note the buildings looked so amazing in asakusa. Definitely worth the crowds!

[@mimii3000]

Stop calling it Wayne-oh. Ueno. Ooh eh no. Also I wish you'd give us a little background or information on areas that you're visiting. I'm not learning anything new from your videos.

[@richardpels7022]

I did not learn anything from your videos either. There are plenty of other channels that are much more informative. Zane’s videos are just very entertaining. Lovely to see him getting lost in a new world without much preparation. That’s his style. Oh, and Ueno is NOT pronounced ooh-eh-no.

[@mimii3000]

@@richardpels7022 Uh yes it is. I live in Hawaii and there are a lot of Japanese words that we use in everyday life that I learned as a kid because of a lot of Japanese immigrants that came here to work in the plantation fields. Words such as benjo, sukoshi, habuteru, omiyage, musubi, shoyu, tako, Jan Ken Po, Urusai among some. Japanese words have become a part of Hawaii culture for decades. So I knew how to pronounce Japanese words even before I took a Japanese language class. My dad taught me how to say Arigato when I was a child. I don't speak fluent Japanese but I can pick up on certain words. I've even eaten Japanese foods as a kid not really knowing it was Japanese food until I got older because it's become a part of my Hawaii culture growing up. Japanese influence in Hawaii is very strong.

[@riskassure]

Good videos overall... but please try to pronounce theses names correctly.. Do some research beforehand. I think it's the least you can do to show some respect.

[@yopparaemon]

Why? Japanese tourists don’t do any “research” and perfect their pronunciation before they travel either.

[@PlanetDashing]

Disagree. I don't think he is showing disrespect. He's an American. It's not necessarily easy to pronounce another language especially Japanese. You can't expect someone to be perfect at everything.

[@ddoggyvii468]

Brother it’s normal for anyone to pronounce a foreign language differently he’s an American who speaks English. I’m part Colombian and when someone tries to say something in Spanish i just laugh it off cause he’s trying his best to speak our language and i appreciate the effort
