This is the most high quality Japan vlog I have ever seen.
You have no idea how badly I want to visit Japan. It’s a feeling in my gut that is ever persistent. I can’t explain it. UPDATE: Started saving for a trip with my sister, for next spring (if the boarders open up) so the dream is coming true! UPDATE 2, 4-14-25: I ended up having a baby girl she is 1 years old now. We are expecting another daughter at the end of the year. So safe to say wont be going to Japan anytime soon. BUT I am not giving up on the dream. I will go to Japan, one day.
I am Japanese, but you seem to be enjoying "Japan" more than most Japanese. By the way, to those who are planning to visit Japan after watching this video. I recommend you to come in autumn, winter, or spring, because summer in Japan is very hot. (Sorry for my poor English)
How many ppl besides me sees Japan as my dream place to visit?? Its one place I MUST go to before I die
For someone who cant ever travel because of health complications, you sir have given me the closest and most beautifully navigated video of actually being in Japan.I am so grateful
This is probably the most beautiful YouTube video I've ever watched. 😳 You have real talent when it comes to filming, audio, and editing. My boyfriend and I are off to Japan this coming spring and your video was incredibly helpful and inspiring!
Great video! I’m Japanese residing in Tokyo, and I strongly agree that November is one of the best months to visit Japan especially Tokyo. The worst probably is summer… It is too humid and hot🥲lol Hope the pandemic will soon be over - and we can welcome you all to this beautiful country 😚
Beautiful informational video
I think in my Japan adventure I really want to do it the other way around: See the hustle of the cities at first then go and relax in the mountains and nature to decompress. *Thanks for all the likes, I will be heading to Japan Aug 2023, my father passed away in Oct '22 and this video has given me inspiration for places to scatter some of his ashes. 🥲
For anyone reading this. I went to Japan last June. Before going, I watched this video probably 7 times. I couldn’t have been more excited. Allan does a legitimate perfect job of describing how Japan feels and what you should be doing there. The trip changed my life. Follow his advice. I get emotional watching this video now. Thank you, Allan
I was originally going to do Tokyo -> Kyoto -> Osaka next March, but this really changed my mind.
Hi Allan, This is by far one of the best well thought out Japan travel vlog I have seen. Content with maps, suggestions, plenty of footage, images and well spoken English i.e. not rushed. Thank you for sharing 👍
I really love your videos, Allan.
Japan has done brilliantly in preserving its history, culture and heritage. I am definitely visiting soon.
This is not just a vlog. It is a documentary! You just earned a sub, Allan!
My "14 days in Japan" itinerary is now available on my shop: 👉/b/0Y5f9 This is an updated itinerary based on this video and my trips to Japan. The itinerary will cover day-to-day activities, transportation between cities, hotels, restaurants, and a travel budget. I've also included a "Custom Google Maps" for Japan with saved pins and locations that follows the itinerary.
Honestly, it's difficult to fully enjoy Japan in two weeks. It takes at least a month. Well, in the end, if you go to Japan once, you'll end up visiting many times Lol
I am a Japanese living in Okinawa. There are 47 prefectures in Japan, and I think that each of the 47 prefectures has 47 different charms. That's why I love this country. In addition to sushi, ramen, and sukiyaki, each prefecture has its own traditional cuisine, traditional culture, and wonderful scenery. For example, in Okinawa, where I was born and raised, there are many other unique Okinawan dishes such as Okinawa soba, goya chanpuru, pawpaw, and sata andagi. Also, since Okinawa was originally a single country called the Ryukyu Kingdom, it has its own culture and history. Karate is also a sport that originated in Okinawa. In terms of music, Sanshin, Eisa, and Kachaashi are famous. As you can see, Japan has more than just one attraction. I would like you to travel to Japan and find your favorite prefecture. I translated it so there may be some wrong English
What a beautiful documentary of your trip! Watching this really made me reminisce my honeymoon back in Dec 2019 on my first trip to Japan. We had 11 days to travel and we went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. It was tiring traveling to all of them in a short amount of time, but I loved it! The culture, the people, the food- I loved every minute of my stay in Japan. I can’t wait to come back with my husband. 😊
I want you to know that, 4 years ago, this video was the one that made me want to travel to Japan, and 4 years later, planning my trip, I’m back here because this is by far the BEST video I’ve seen in a Japan trip
