Wait I'm confused i thought you and Pat Kay were an item???

Would love a hotel with gym please

Name of onsen please?

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!

I met my Japanese crush several times at a live house in Shinjuku. We knew each other through Twitter and I used to go watch her band play around Tokyo whenever I was visiting Japan. We could hardly communicate but she managed to ask me to buy tickets for a upcoming concert. I agreed because I thought it would be a great way to spend some time with her. When I got back to my hotel and went online I found out that the concert was still 2 months away. It was then that I found out that she just wanted me to buy her tickets. And to make matters worse, she told me my brother was "very handsome" because she also followed him on Twitter. I ended up buying her 2 tickets and then I was passive aggressive to her online for months after that with plenty of backhanded compliments to confuse her. I know it's immature and sort of mean but so was she!

I thought this was universal Osaka but I realized it not now

Hello, may I know the name Onsen in this video?

What kind of job do you have now currently in Japan? Or are you a full time youtuber right now?

I'm Japanese who's been living in the U.S. for almost 4 decades ,but originally from Tokyo & was born in Shibuya ! I highly recommend Shibuya as the base for youngsters to visit Tokyo ,teenagers to mid 30's ,but anyone over that age range or older ,I recommend Ginza or Marunouchi or even Odaiba areas ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

6. Meet Gojo

😊🧡

omg, im paying 2010$ per month for a studio you can't walk more than 6 steps for

Be careful of domain expansions tho

no timestamps, tldr?

Would actually recommend this over USJ if you're a HP fan. This and the Harry Potter cafe in Shibuya.

I put this in our itinerary for our upcoming Japan visit this November. Might be worth checking out.

No wonder U have a very strong Aussie accent! 🤭 Was wondering how come a Japanese girl speaks like an Aussie! 😆🌏

A whole lot of her face, very little of the place.

All of your content is supreme!

ZzzzZZzz

Hello Stephanie! Do you have a business email for collaborations?

Thank you so much for this video! It helped me figure out what hotel I want to stay next month.

Babe, it is difficult to imagine you as a powerlifter!❤

Years often go by before I realize my dating mistakes or failures lol

Will it's time to move on to south Korea 🇰🇷 or China!✨🇨🇳 Both places probably have very impressive dating services!✨ For your very true 💘 love interest!✨ My great inspiring wisdom for today!✨ Have a very impressive beautiful 😍 day.😍👏❤

See that’s the trouble with “suki-desu” being said as both I like you and I love you. That’s very confusing to a westerner? Saying I like you and I love you are both hugely different. However, of course different customs in Japan vs Australia or western world so I get that as well. It’s a minefield.

You must have felt ill after finishing that challenge? Bloody impressive!

I was rejected by JET… then I got a job transfer working for 🍎… it was a blessing in disguise. 😬

Thanks for sharing your dating life (cause it wasn’t ❤ right?😉) Great to learn more about any one of the “Japan by food” hosts because its great to watch a new episode every week - nice 100 💵 episode😊 and oh really liked the sushi one with the “shoot for a prize” game at the end!! look forward to seeing you in the next one 💯

Can I have the Onsen name

Honestly, I've heard far worse and you've obviously learned from your experience... Dating is just different here... I've dated a few Japanese girls though. Not gonna lie, I was probably used by a few of them for free english lessons until my Japanese got way better so now this doesn't really happen anymore. I did confess to my longtime girlfriend. I eased into it by telling her what I liked about her and us and then I was full like... なおのことが。。。。。(Mild panic setting in as I realise I can't go back now because she knows what word comes next...) 好きand then full blown panic as I silently waited for her answer. Very different from Oz where you just kinda start hooking up often enough and it just kinda becomes a relationship.

Very well done and thank you.

lol girls who lift huge red flags

soma seems like a great tour guide :)

isnt this Pat Kay studio?

I dunno Steph. From my dating experience in Japan, it always seems to work out better for me when women are into me instead of me asking them to be my girlfriend. In my modest opinion, since women are the gatekeepers of relationships, it always organically works out for me :)

Cant wait to go next week!

I am so happy you are sharing this story! There is SO much miscommunication with dating abroad and this brought so many flashbacks of my own time in Sendai. More power to you queen for being honest with the awkward and gringe side if being an expat ❤‍🔥

Attraction of Shibuya can not be overstated and immeasurable and very profound and unimaginable

Merci, in Japan japanese is their first language et maybe english

He must have known you wouldn’t understand as he knew you were not from Japan, I’d say that’s more on him 😂 great lesson learnt.. I didn’t even know that existed haha. Saying ILY on date 3 is pretty wild 😅

I doubt a smart girl such as yourself will ever be in short supply of anything in life, even if you have to open every door in Japan to find the person you want to accompany you on your journey..it's your story we are all following. I think "koku haku" is overrated anyways just saying.💌🇯🇵🕊

This was interesting as I learned about this similar concept in Korea talking to a local friend who was seeing somebody at the time.

I don't know Steph, he knew you're not from Japan, so he could have just explained his culture a bit more. No need to beat yourself up

Miss potty mouth

Zapp and Roger - Heartbreaker 💔🕺🎶.

frenzoned again 🥲

Thanks for sharing your experience 😀. :)

In your defense you weren't being mean. It was just a matter of cultural differences and the language barrier.

My Japanese friend told me it's common that you don't lead someone to your dwelling or you'll be marked for creepy harassment and you might have to move if it continues.
