@@AdelokeLH we would definitely recommended snow boots as the route can be slippery! this year, winter seems to have been a little delayed in Japan so there may not be much snow accumulation there in mid-December. But it’s worth bringing them just in case :)

@@littlewanderlings I see! Thanks. Do you think it's necessary to bring crampons?

it’s good to have crampons if you are planning to hike all the way to the main shrine, instead of taking the bus there!

@@littlewanderlings Thank you! It's good to know

Thank you! 😄😄 We would recommend driving if you are confident, since public transport there can take a long time due to longer intervals

Thanks for watching!!

We loved Korea! Will definitely be back soon 😊😊

We went to Haeundae beach in Busan :))

We’re really glad you enjoyed it!! Hope it has helped you in planning future trips to Japan :)

Thank you so much 😄😄

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!

Hope you have a wonderful time in Korea!! :)

@@LienNguyen-mv5er Yes this was actually earlier in the winter! Specifically it was around beginning of December :)

So glad you liked the video! We shoot our videos in 4K, 24 frames per second! The rest are all default configurations :)

@@littlewanderlings thank you so much for sharing this!

Yes, that’s pretty much it - 3 layers! But I would recommend the ultrawarm heattech. It’s quite chilly in November (around <10 degrees c), but it often felt colder than the forecast since the winds can be freezing 🥶

@@Stanleychris1982 7 days should be enough if want to see most of the main highlights of both! But from our experience we hoped to have spent a little longer in Busan, maybe 4 days instead of 3. Seoul is so vast with so many things to see and do, so we would recommend a week in Seoul if you want to dive abit deeper!

So glad you liked the video :)) hope to put out more of such videos in the future, thank you for your support!! 🤩

So glad you enjoyed it!! 😊

@@kinhochan3058 we cannot wait to be back again 🥲

Thank you, glad you liked the video! :)

@@Min-uv8lf there was nothing much to it actually haha but if i remember correctly it was either an additive dissolve or luma fade transition

@@Min-uv8lf much of it was done in camera, meaning I walked along the same set of floor tiles while keeping a fixed point subject aligned to the grid

@@littlewanderlingsThank you for answering my question! I want to learn as much as i can for my next month Japan Trip! Love from Singapore ❤

@@HL00403 I would say both offer very unique experiences, but in my opinion seeing the snow monkeys in the hot springs was much more magical. Something about it is very mesmerising 😆 Togakushi Shrine is really beautiful but there are plenty of other shrines that look just as amazing too especially in the winter (and it is much harder to get to the cedar tree walkway) For the best chance of snow, I think you have to come around mid-January.

@@littlewanderlings Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate your response!

Thank you so much!! Glad you found it helpful :)

Glad our video brought back memories! Hope you can visit again soon :)

Yes, Darakhyu is outside the immigration area :) If you do intend to stay there, I recommend you book online via their website to ensure they have availability - www.walkerhill.com/darakhyu/hub/en/ (take note they have 2 branches in terminal 1 and terminal 2)

thank you :) Nope all these were handheld!

Thank you :) yes, the iPhone 15 has a very versatile camera!

네, 정말 춥죠! 여동생분이 따뜻하게 지내셨으면 좋겠어요. 영상 봐주셔서 감사합니다!~

@@Nddlul thank you for the kind words 😊

@@littlewanderlings np I am the naval base student from yesterday

@@Nddlul yes, I subscribed to you yesterday!

@@littlewanderlings thanks

We went during the first week of December :) the temperature was around 0-5 degrees for most of our trip as we had fairly good weather, though it is possible to get even colder depending on the weather conditions for the day.

@@Crystals13579 Thank you! Yes, we were fortunate that it snowed! I remember checking the forecast a few days before we landed and was expecting it to be clear without any snow at all.

@@merimaria08 We went end of November to beginning of December :)

Thank you so much for the kind comment 😊 It is definitely possible to take a day trip to both, but the buses from Nagano Station to both these locations don’t run very frequently so I would not recommend it since these locations take a long while to get to using both public transportation and on foot (Snow Monkey Park involves some hiking). Perhaps you could stay a night in Nagano and take day trips to each of these places separately!

@@littlewanderlings Thank you for answering my query. Looking forward to more of your videos!

@@angelicalacsina900 thank you for watching :) we took the KTX high speed train to Busan via Seoul station! So our route was Incheon Airport to Seoul Station via AREX (airport express), and then Seoul Station to Busan Station via the KTX

@@littlewanderlings Thank you so much for the reply!! 😇

@leevisuals Was about to ask the same question. Hehe. 1st timer here. Thanks so much for sharing all your videos and travel tips. ❤. If I have check in luggages, can I still stay at the Capsule hotel inside T1? Can we collect the check in luggages then check into the Capsule hotel?

@@nlipg78 yes, we recommend you purchase the tickets as soon as you can confirm your dates of travel :) You can buy it online via the official KTX website (www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizBfDMZTrnTicketSearch.do?hidJobDv=GTRN) + avoid booking through Rail Ninja as I think the prices are significantly higher

@@nlipg78 If you plan on visiting multiple other cities in Korea, you might also want to consider getting a KTX rail pass, depending on how many journeys you would be taking! The link is in the description of the video 😄 Have a great trip to South Korea!

@@lexlex1602 glad this was helpful!! :)

Thank you for watching 😊

Feel free to check out the videos in this playlist of what we did on our winter trip :) th-cam.com/video/zfp-gRxf7ck/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much!! glad this video was of help to you 😄

We booked the standard ocean view room :)

@@sharonng9928 it was quite chilly during our time there (about -5 to 10 celcius) but as long as the weather is not cloudy it should be above 0 for most of the daytime. Layers are super important when dressing for the cold, plus having a thick outer jacket is essential. We wore about 2-3 layers underneath the jacket :)

@@sharonng9928 I would also recommend the heat tech innerwear (ultra warm) from uniqlo, often went with just 2 inner layers and it was more than sufficient!

​@@littlewanderlingsthanks for the recommendation🙏👍

@@fiorella3470 yes, our route involved going back to Tokyo before taking the shinkansen to Hiroshima. Do note that it’s going to be a pretty long travel day (around 7 hours) so be sure to schedule time between trains for meals/breaks :)

Hii thanks for subscribing!! The ride was about 5 hours in total, as we had to change trains a few times (Matsumoto - Nagano - <Takasaki - Naganoharakusatsuguchi (via Kusatsu Shima limited express train)> - Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal (by bus). This is a pretty long route and is not optimal, though we did this to be covered under the JR Pass. I believe there is a shorter route via Kuruizawa, but that’s if you are not planning on getting the JR Pass.

@@giuliamorale2073 we were there end of November to beginning of December!

@@beckspace thats awesome to hear :) thank you so much for watching our vlog!!

@@FT-od4xv We visited in early January, specifically on New Year’s day for Nagano. We able to see snow there due to some heavy snow a few days before - but there is a chance that it might not be cold enough for the snow to stick around. If you would like to visit when it snows, you can consider visiting late January to February :) (and check the climate information online, including any snow forecasts)

@@littlewanderlings thanks for your reply, we are bounded by school term hence Jan n Feb is out :( will probably go Hokkaido then.

@@FT-od4xv likewise! Couldnt travel in Jan/Feb too because of uni 🤣 Hokkaido would definitely be your best bet to see snow since it’s much colder up north :)

We visited at the beginning of December!

@@CamilleNishio thank you! I used iphone for filming and premiere pro for the editing 😊

Thank you so much for the kind comment! It’s really heartwarming to hear that :)

Thank you 🙌

@@EmmalynnCynefin thank you for the kind comment 😊
