Hey guys! I filmed this video in January, right at the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak. If you have a holiday to Japan booked, you might miss out on some things you want to see given the mass closures of popular tourist destinations. Alyse from The Invisible Tourist has been to each of the locations in todays video more recently, and didn’t encounter any issues with closures. The situation is constantly evolving, so make sure you check with your country’s Department of Foreign Affairs and advice of local authorities. Also be aware that you will also be required to spend 14 days in quarantine in a designated facility if you arrive in Japan from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau or South Korea. Still keen to go? The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends taking the following precautions regardless of where you travel: - Washing your hands with soap and water frequently. If soap is unavailable, use a hand sanitiser with a high alcohol content. - Maintain at least a metre between yourself and anyone who appears to be ill, particularly those coughing or sneezing. - Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. - Practicing respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose when sneeze or coughing, disposing of tissues thoughtfully and washing your hands with soap and water immediately afterwards. - Contacting the local health authorities immediately should you begin to feel unwell.

I was going to ask how that was and if you had to be quarantined. Does anyone have the coronovirus in Australia? We have about 32 total confirmed cases in Tennessee right now (if it hasnt gone up overnight). So needless to say we are trying to stay home as much as we can! My two kids got 3 weeks out for spring break vs the one week they usually get bc of the virus.

[@BettieFinn]

Unfortunately I was going to Japan this Easter but because of the Corona outbreak our government have cancels all ingoing and out going planes. It’s very responsible but very unfortunate 💔😔 I have been binging your Japan videos to prepare and plan and I’m heart broken that I won’t go. But keep the Japan content coming. I love it! And I will go some day, when all of this has settled. Thanx Alex

[@Bleky05]

Oh thank you for shoving me thet Patel can every body rock iven me I'll joined joind a pastel family and I'm proud 14 years old kid😎😂😅😁😀

agreed !!!

[@sadbean2595]

ok

I'm self-isolated at the moment for suspected CV so being able to escape to another country for half an hour was everything. Thank you for this beautiful video!

sending you good vibes my friend! May I recommend to you: cream heroes, emmy made in japan, Jenna Marbles, Bon Appetit? Enjoy the break if you can! 💖🐯

What area are you in? We are also having to stay inside. I'm in Tennessee

That pigeon scene made me laugh so hard

I'm confined to my house here in Spain, the weather is sh*t and general stress levels are exhausting my mind and body, it's very nice to see such positive and cute content in times like these ❤️ Thanks, Alex! 🥰

Same here from Portugal!

I was supposed to go to spain for the first time next week but not so much anymore.

[@yokiryuu134]

I feel ya, I have been in quarantine in my apartment since Tuesday, and my country starts a 14 day public quarantine on Monday. I normally like my alone time, but I miss everyone and their hugs, talking on the phone just isn't the same. 😷 I hope everyone stays safe 🙏 Sending love. ❤

[@PRF24]

Stay save.. All the best from Germany ksen vely

[@xoxo62477]

The travel content is making me feel less like I'm stuck in the house. Haha

[@Alina_Valentina]

with all this going to japan ( that we love) you should do a proper travelers vid with going to the airport, the flight, the conditions on the plane, the transport... how to navigate everything ! i think it would be a very well explained and composed video :)

[@corallopez7573]

I would love this. Also a packing video and a what's in my day bag video I need to know what I need to bring 😁

[@VarasV]

Thats such a good idea for her next trip!

[@VarasV]

@@corallopez7573 I would love that!! Me and one of my best friends are planning a trip for after we graduate!

[@peachygirl2374]

I would love to see what's inside her bag when she travels it's a super easy video to make even if she's not going just explaining why she brings those items ect

[@katertot17]

It’s 2am and I’ll probably never get to visit Japan, yet here I am. Because I love watching all of your videos! Thank you for letting us travel vicariously through you!

[@MrsJShepherd1]

I really love your Japan travel vlogs, they've reminded me of how much I wanted to go there when I was a teenager. Now I'm 41, married with a 3 year old so it'll be a few years before I get the chance, but in the meantime these are great inspiration. And damn I want a custard cream puff! 😊

[@Ozzie76]

Your hair looks great in the plaits when you are trying the cream puffs that look suits you even your fringe looks good wearing your hair that way also goes well with the top.

[@TheFidchelle]

Me, living in Tokyo : *furiously takes notes* But i’m so heartbroken that i’m deadly allergic to milk... café Ron Ron and the cream puffs are off the table for me 😭

[@oofoof9220]

this is heartbreaking

[@illusion513]

I have celiacs so I feel your pain.

[@pinkheart315]

The food looked so good but I'm sure they have egg in everything. Being a vegetarian egg is no. So don't be sad even I won't ever be able to taste😢 But atleast your in japan😍 So many of us want to go there🤩

[@crazyplantlady18]

Pink Heart Egg is fine for vegetarians, just not vegans.

[@pinkheart315]

@@crazyplantlady18 some vegetarians don't eat egg due to their beliefs. Some do. I don't thats why I would not be able to eat food with egg in it.

[@greenisnotcreative7685]

It's incredible how Japan can look so mystic, I would love to go to some of those locations and just sit there with some lo-fi and draw

[@Ontea404]

I was supposed to leave for Japan tomorrow for my exchange, it would be my first time ever. Sadly, school put a ban on all exchanges this spring😔. But all is fine at least I can enjoy Japan through your video's! 😄

[@krystalthepeach1900]

girl, you should be SO PROUD of this video!!!!! the filmography is so so beautiful and the info and descriptions you give are amazing and so informational!!

[@monbrazier2767]

Can i just say, that some of the shots you get in your videos, are just breath taking. Love you and your work, its so amazing! You can really see the time you put into this.

[@mollywomack8096]

My husband has always dreamed of going to Japan - stashing this video in saved so I can reference it later should we ever have the opportunity to go! This video is so beautifully made!

[@Amsayy]

The sky observatory looks awesome. I love a damn observatory. If I can go up a building and look down, I will. I could watch a time lapse off people crossing and cars going for hours.

[@hatfullofsky]

Ohhh same. I don't feel like I've properly visited a city til I've been up the highest thing there! 🙂

[@TheBiologistofit]

The Zelda Breath of the Wind reference 💕

[@jessicabrown8158]

I love all your Tokyo videos so much! i love that you are doing a variety of videos, they are so well filmed and informative! your content is so so good! you have been one of my favourite youtubers for ages and your channel just keep getting better and better 😁

[@rebeckas.2967]

I was going to Japan tomorrow but due to the corona virus my government have advised their citizens to stay here and now travel abroad. I’ve rescheduled and I’ll be going in I think mid of April instead. Hopefully I can find your cat at the temple! :)

[@ijustrealllylikecats]

if you do, come back and update this with a link to a picture! I'd love to see the pastel cat family lol

Rebecka S. it seems that it will be more expensive next year due to the olympics so it might cost you extra bank. I’m BEGGING my parents (I’m 11) to go to Japan in 2022.

Those conveyer buffets would be the death of me omg they look so delicious I need to find a place like that here until I can save up for Japan!

[@thebluereason]

I'm so upset we didn't have time to get the Totoro cream puffs the last time I was in Japan. I'm really hoping to get them one day!

The artistry of Alex’s camera work never ceases to amaze me!!

That conveyor belt place would honestly be perfect to visit.

[@chefash8769]

you won't read this but I wanted to tell you how much I love the cinematic videography that you do for your videos you put so much time and effort into it all those people who want to unfollow or unsubscribe or thumbs-down your video they need to get their selves together because no matter what content you produce I will watch I think you're an amazing person you're an amazing friend and I'm so proud of everything that you've done and how you've grown

[@RedHotTamale91]

Your outfit reminds me of an outfit in a 90's movie from when I was little that I was literally OBSESSED with, and I can't for the life of me remember the movie 😭🖤 Just know you're living out my fashion dreams 😂
