HEY! It's Thursday and we have a new vlog! We just couldn't wait until Sunday for this one. What do you think? Would you travel this way in Japan?? Thanks Huel. Head to huel.com/talandmads and use our code for 15% off your first order + a free starter kit! Sponsored by Huel
Guaranteed I would travel the way the both of you did. Especially because I am half Japanese. You both get along so nicely and funny, also really informative. Such a great show, I subscribed immediately.🥰
Japan is the ultimate paradise where you can have safe, stress-free adventures like nowhere else on Earth. If you're looking to adventure as an all-girls group, there's really no place more perfect than Japan!😆
Not only did you make me smile, but I almost peed my pants laughing. You two look like you're having so much fun. Be safe you two and thanks for sharing your journey.❤
Glad you are enjoying your trip. Yes, the green mochi you ate was mixed with a herb called yomogi or mugwort. The stuffing is called Anko and it’s sweetened red bean curd, often found in most mochi here. Stay safe❤
It was so lovely to wake up to a new Tal & Mads vlog this morning. Thank you for taking me on this road trip with you it looks amazing! I’m already looking forward to the next one ❤
Love that you travel in vans in other countries…love the privacy factor as opposed to a hotel. And you see the most beautiful places being in the van!!!
Yes, driving on the left side of the road is a little weird at first. But after a while you do get used to it, if you stay in Japan for a long time. I spent 9 months in Okinawa. I hope you ladies had a fun trip in Japan. I found your channel thanks to you two sneaking up on Jazz and Crystal, the Van wives.
It was a delight to see you two back out on the road. I love it when you are. Funny watching you guys swoon over the amount of space you had in the rig. I think the main thing is you're used to traveling in a van instead of an RV. I have a 1992 Toyota RV that's about a foot longer than a van and I have sooooo much more room with a full bathroom (toilet and separate shower). It's small and rides very smooth with decent gas mileage. I'm doing a tour of it on my channel next week. You might look for a small RV when you get back to Canada. It would have a steering wheel on the left and as much room as the one in this vid. Thanks for posting.
A travel hack for your next Japan trip: visit Daiso and get a couple of packs of coffee filter papers and a metal filter holder that sits over a cup (all really inexpensive), then find a good pack of ground coffee - et voila - beaut coffee whenever you need it!
How exciting to wake up and see a Tal and Mads video. You guys made my day! It looks like so much fun to travel Japan by van. The scenery and the food looks amazing. Your reaction over those vanilla and chocolate cookies was so cute (I want to try one). The only thing I missed was the caption option wasn't available (I am slightly hearing impaired). I bet Bowie is missing you also. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
When I fly home to the states then back to Australia I always make sure I follow someone and make sure I’m on the inside of the road when I drive. My brain doesn’t compute🤣
There's a fun anime called Yuru Camp which is a cosy relaxed series revolving around a group of friends and their camping club. It's set in Yamanashi prefecture (characters are from Minobu) and heavily features views of Fuji. The campsite you visited is in the first episode and everything is based on real world stuff, the chain you unhooked to go to the beach is even there as one of the characters falls over it. If anime isn't something you'd normally watch then thats fair enough, but I think you'd find it fun to see an animated version of the places you've visited :) Found your channel on the sidebar, enjoying what I've seen so far :)
Tal, what no garlic? from your 1st shop 🤭🤣❤ Thanks for sharing your trip in Japan, it looks such an awesome place! An yes as ever you both always make me smile! Much ❤
You both are the best and I couldn’t have ask for more than being able to spend time with you guys and now it feels like old times with you renting a camper and I will say I couldn’t be more happy than to be with you guys my favorite couple and friends to experience so much more of Japan and what a wild ride it was also the joy of seeing you guys so happy fills my heart ❤️ with so much joy so thanks again for a wonderful time peace ☮️ out ✌️
Wicked a second video this week. The energiser bunny is back in full force and Tal definitely seems recharged😃 It also felt a fair bit like you were transported back into your vanlife bubble and I'm sure if you were to stay there for a longer time(got past the language barrier and got more used to the different culture) you'd get the community feel as well. Beautiful video as always. Had to laugh at the bunk bed joke, especially as I don't think either of you are particularly tall 🤣 Unless Mads is secretly 6 ft tall 😉
Great video, Japan is awesome. Yes you can have a right hand drive vehicle in North America. Maria, from Roaming Reckless has a British Land Rover Defender and about a year ago Cheska and Ben of Overlanding Sophia bought their British Van over and toured all over. Look forward to the next one, safe travels.
Wow, the girls are back in a van...so fun. And the van was very cool; almost like a tiny home in some ways. You look like you had such a fun, relaxing time. I'm so glad you found an AP to help you out; I would be so lost. I'm looking forward to the bullet train, maybe like a Disney ride 😆 So, sending hugs love your way 🥰 Bernie ❤
I would have never thought of renting a camper while in Japan!! What a great 💡idea!😊 I love that the camper is so compact. I would freak out on the wrong side of the road....What a great video!!!❤❤ Made me smile😊😁Love you guys❤❤
Wow! What a difference to my journey in 1976 to Japan. I spent three month there - no handy no English speaking people, not even in Kyoto! But I had hands and feet 🤣😎 and I traveled even in remote places, mostly allone. Your adventure is not less, but very different! And Japan is really worth to be visited! Much fun!
@17:09 Crap, that's the Motosu-ko campsite where Rin and Nadeshiko first met! [Yuru Camp S01E01] For a lot of people that spot is a kinda pilgrimage spot, and yet you girls had no idea 🤦🏼♂ (Nadeshiko being -assaulted- reprimanded by her big sister 😂. Dang, now I have to go and watch it again. _Shikata ga nai_ )
You two Gadabouts, continue to amaze, in Your adventures. Spent a month in Yokosuka 1973, aboard USS Trigger SS564. completion 6 month Tour. Yours looks like a whole lot more fun.❤
You silly Thursday cookie, soft serve, Starbucks, lovers! (It's wheatgrass, that you were looking for.) You are cracking me up! OF COURSE I'd travel Japan by van! I might even skip Tokyo in favor of the spots you found in this episode. They feel more like my speed.
It is legal to import a right-hand drive vehicle into Canada. A lot of the rural posties use them on their routes so they can pull up right beside the mailbox. However, I think the vehicle has to be at least 15 years old to qualify.
Family Mart! Best food.... and wharever you need. When they ask you a question when you grab the rice triangle (THe are asking do you want it heated) say HAi!
I lived in Japan for 2 years many years ago. If you want to do a winter trip, plan to go to Hokkaido. Lots of skiing and you can hangout at the Sapporo brewery. In the grocery stores you can get little dried fish that they eat as snacks. I found it a bit odd.
Amazing!! Hokkaido is definitely on our list for the next time we make it to Japan. So fun you had the chance to live there for two years. Thanks for watching!
Yes you can have a right facing vehicle in North America. But you need to pay attention to the glass, lights, and tires, not to mention emissions. The speedometer has to be in MPH, (US). You can import them, but depending on the year of manufacture, and company, you might have to spend money to upgrade the faults. I will add, that the info I have provided is for the US. I am not sure what our Canadian Brothers and Sisters up north need, or want as far as that goes. I can't imagine it is probably all that different. AWESOME VIDEO!
Great video. I think I'd have a hard time driving there. I've drove a work truck for 25years that has right hand drive and I drive on the right. I'm a postal carrier in USA.
I was waiting to see if you would visit an onsen and if the tattoos were ok. Obviously they were. I have 3 kanji on my shoulder so good to see. Thanks!
So fun watching you guys explore Japan! I am in California but just got back from Portugal and persimmons were in season both places! The best fruit ever!! ❤ BTW, I seen one of these Japanese vans for sale in the Bay Area a few months ago and your allowed to drive with seat on the other side.
So much fun, lovely sisterwomen… I have to tell you that it was definitely a leek that you bought. The translation of things isn’t always exact. I’m sure you figured it out when you cooked with it 🙂
Yes, it is legal to drive a right hand drive vehicle in North America. I live in Washington and I see gray marketed Japanese domestic vehicles all the time. They are legal to import if they are more than 25 years old. The little mini trucks are getting very popular.
There is a place in the USA that imports Japanese campers of all different sizes and yes you can drive right hand drives in your country cos Canada is cool apart from the winter when parts are freezing (HA HA)
HEY! It's Thursday and we have a new vlog! We just couldn't wait until Sunday for this one. What do you think? Would you travel this way in Japan??

Nico😍🥰💞💓
Follow Japan's rules or go home.
Guaranteed I would travel the way the both of you did. Especially because I am half Japanese. You both get along so nicely and funny, also really informative. Such a great show, I subscribed immediately.🥰
The only problem with this channel is it is not on every day!!! You two are so adorable.Thank you for making me smile.❤
We are so happy you are enjoying the channel! THANK YOU ❤️ We try to get new videos out as often as we can!
Japan is the ultimate paradise where you can have safe, stress-free adventures like nowhere else on Earth. If you're looking to adventure as an all-girls group, there's really no place more perfect than Japan!😆
I spent 4yrs in Japan and this brought back so many memories. I miss all the vending machines and the coffee
I'm so impressed by you two. You're adventurous and brave. I like the natural way you do your videos. Keep it going❤
Thanks so much!! We appreciate the love and support! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Not only did you make me smile, but I almost peed my pants laughing. You two look like you're having so much fun. Be safe you two and thanks for sharing your journey.❤
Thank you for taking our campervan on the greatest ride ever!
Glad you are enjoying your trip. Yes, the green mochi you ate was mixed with a herb called yomogi or mugwort. The stuffing is called Anko and it’s sweetened red bean curd, often found in most mochi here.
Stay safe❤

Thank you for coming along with us!! We love sharing with you! ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy Japan trip ♩
Love that you travel in vans in other countries…love the privacy factor as opposed to a hotel. And you see the most beautiful places being in the van!!!
Yes such a great way to see the country! Thanks for watching!
Just watched your video!! Japan looks amazing, no wonder you are having a ball. Keep safe and well and keep the vids coming. From Scotland.
Yes, driving on the left side of the road is a little weird at first. But after a while you do get used to it, if you stay in Japan for a long time. I spent 9 months in Okinawa. I hope you ladies had a fun trip in Japan. I found your channel thanks to you two sneaking up on Jazz and Crystal, the Van wives.
VanLife and Japanese Vlogs make a big part of my TH-cam experience. this a nice mix of both.

So glad you enjoyed it! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 thanks for watching!
Yay Japan on vanlife series
Wow! Fantastic trip. Love that RV/VAN/CAMPER!
A travel hack for your next Japan trip: visit Daiso and get a couple of packs of coffee filter papers and a metal filter holder that sits over a cup (all really inexpensive), then find a good pack of ground coffee - et voila - beaut coffee whenever you need it!
I spent a couple days sightseeing in Japan in the late 90’s and the line everyplace I went reminded me of Disneyland
Great vid! Safe travels and... you two always make me smile! 😉🧡💛
I like the light veneer wooden interior of the RV which makes the inside of the vehicle open and wide
7:45 It's a delicious chocolate cookie made by a company called Bourbon. I love it too.
Mmm they were so good!!!
How exciting to wake up and see a Tal and Mads video. You guys made my day! It looks like so much fun to travel Japan by van. The scenery and the food looks amazing.

Loved it. A van trip in Japan is amazing. The perspective of your video gave a feel good almost felt experience.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Nice surprise to get this video today! Thank you for sharing your trip in Japan,looking forward to seeing you next time💕
We’re just full of surprises!! Can’t wait to show you more of this adventure!

Fabulous! So luved this episode from Japan! More please.
So happy you loved it! Thanks for watching!!
My dad used to be a rural postal worker in California. He bought an old right hand drive vehicle for his route. So, sure, it's not a problem.
Japan is so amazing. LOve everything about it!
When I fly home to the states then back to Australia I always make sure I follow someone and make sure I’m on the inside of the road when I drive. My brain doesn’t compute🤣

Van looks great. Dont forget to cover up a bit when visiting temples. A shawl is handy - can whip it out and cover shoulders
You’re absolutely right! We’ll be sure to have a shawl handy. Thanks for watching!
You both are the best and I couldn’t have ask for more than being able to spend time with you guys and now it feels like old times with you renting a camper and I will say I couldn’t be more happy than to be with you guys my favorite couple and friends to experience so much more of Japan and what a wild ride it was also the joy of seeing you guys so happy fills my heart ❤️ with so much joy so thanks again for a wonderful time peace ☮️ out ✌️

Loving Japan and nice to see you both back in a van, if only for a couple days.
Thank you!! Happy you’re enjoying :)
Mid-week post. Way cool. Do not know what Billie is thinking about that 'other' camper. 8:51
Aussie here, we drive on the left. Now you know how i feel when you film, while driving...i freak out every time 😂
Hahaha yes totally confusing! Thanks for watching :)
I loved this so much!! :)
Awesome adventure Ladies have a blast and stay safe, an ya driving there would probably mess me up as well lol . Love your vids.
Great video, Japan is awesome. Yes you can have a right hand drive vehicle in North America. Maria, from Roaming Reckless has a British Land Rover Defender and about a year ago Cheska and Ben of Overlanding Sophia bought their British Van over and toured all over. Look forward to the next one, safe travels.
Loved your hair style in morning Tal! Not sure about Canada but I'm fairly sure right hand drive is Ok in the US. You two always make me smile.
Wow, the girls are back in a van...so fun. And the van was very cool; almost like a tiny home in some ways. You look like you had such a fun, relaxing time. I'm so glad you found an AP to help you out; I would be so lost. I'm looking forward to the bullet train, maybe like a Disney ride 😆 So, sending hugs love your way 🥰 Bernie ❤
I would have never thought of renting a camper while in Japan!! What a great 💡idea!😊 I love that the camper is so compact. I would freak out on the wrong side of the road....What a great video!!!❤❤
Made me smile😊😁Love you guys❤❤
Thank you!! It was definitely a great way to experience some of the country - and we are totally in love with the camper. Love you back!
Wow! What a difference to my journey in 1976 to Japan. I spent three month there - no handy no English speaking people, not even in Kyoto!

Sounds like you had an incredible adventure in Japan. We’re so glad you’re enjoying our experience too! Thanks for watching ❤️
Yep, the smile streak goes on! 😊😊❤❤
Love it!! Thanks for watching!
Exciting trip, nice little car and good company ❤️❤️
That was awesome.....but! There seemed to be a severe lack of 'Twice the Garlic' in this episode 😛
Hello ladies! Miss you, what’s up!
@17:09 Crap, that's the Motosu-ko campsite where Rin and Nadeshiko first met! [Yuru Camp S01E01] For a lot of people that spot is a kinda pilgrimage spot, and yet you girls had no idea 🤦🏼♂

You two Gadabouts, continue to amaze, in Your adventures. Spent a month in Yokosuka 1973, aboard USS Trigger SS564. completion 6 month Tour. Yours looks like a whole lot more fun.❤
That shopping bag was like Mary Poppins' bag lol it was deceptively large!
You silly Thursday cookie, soft serve, Starbucks, lovers! (It's wheatgrass, that you were looking for.) You are cracking me up! OF COURSE I'd travel Japan by van! I might even skip Tokyo in favor of the spots you found in this episode. They feel more like my speed.
It is legal to import a right-hand drive vehicle into Canada. A lot of the rural posties use them on their routes so they can pull up right beside the mailbox. However, I think the vehicle has to be at least 15 years old to qualify.
You are supposed to put the hand basket in the cart. What Starbucks do you go to for $2 coffee? Every time I go it's $5 for a tall Pikes.
Family Mart! Best food.... and wharever you need. When they ask you a question when you grab the rice triangle (THe are asking do you want it heated) say HAi!
If you're still in Japan, try the Shirataki noodles. Super good for us. But wash them really well first.
I loved the tour, and this video…❤❤
Thank you so much!!
I am totally digging that RV!! I would buy something that size here in the US.
I lived in Japan for 2 years many years ago. If you want to do a winter trip, plan to go to Hokkaido. Lots of skiing and you can hangout at the Sapporo brewery.
In the grocery stores you can get little dried fish that they eat as snacks. I found it a bit odd.
Amazing!! Hokkaido is definitely on our list for the next time we make it to Japan. So fun you had the chance to live there for two years. Thanks for watching!

I am not sure what our Canadian Brothers and Sisters up north need, or want as far as that goes. I can't imagine it is probably all that different. AWESOME VIDEO!
You can import the RVs after 25 years. So you can get late 90s versions now!
Great video.
I think I'd have a hard time driving there. I've drove a work truck for 25years that has right hand drive and I drive on the right. I'm a postal carrier in USA.
I was waiting to see if you would visit an onsen and if the tattoos were ok. Obviously they were. I have 3 kanji on my shoulder so good to see. Thanks!
Yes! We are so happy we were able to go to one and enjoy the experience! Thanks for watching:)
Yes it’s legal to have a right side driver’s seat in usa I drove an old postal van that had that
That looked so awesome.
Right?! We loved it! Thanks for watching!
If Toyota sold these campers in the US I would so totally buy one. Left hand drive of course.
So fun watching you guys explore Japan! I am in California but just got back from Portugal and persimmons were in season both places! The best fruit ever!! ❤ BTW, I seen one of these Japanese vans for sale in the Bay Area a few months ago and your allowed to drive with seat on the other side.
Thanks for watching! Portugal sounds amazing!! And mmmmm persimmons 😍
Wheat grass. Also Mochi is like ice cream in a dough covering.
LOVED it!!!!❤
THANK YOU 🫶🏻
Happy Halloween girls.❤
Thank you! You too 🫶🏻
So much fun, lovely sisterwomen… I have to tell you that it was definitely a leek that you bought. The translation of things isn’t always exact. I’m sure you figured it out when you cooked with it 🙂
That green mochi's name is kusa-mochi(草餅) which means exactly grass mochi😂 it's different from macha!
Even Starbucks instant is good in a pinch
Yes, it is legal to drive a right hand drive vehicle in North America. I live in Washington and I see gray marketed Japanese domestic vehicles all the time. They are legal to import if they are more than 25 years old. The little mini trucks are getting very popular.
Happy times ❤
Looks like so much fun enjoy❤
Thank you!! :)
We literally got our van in Japan from the same place! The middle of nowhere, right?? We feel like we're back there with you guys!
Haha so cool! We love that place! Glad you felt like you were back there with us 🫶🏻
the vending machines in Japan are legit!
hummm…”
Hilarious.
Good stuff!
Cheers!
Thank you for sharing, great vlog. Magic music.
What a cool van.
Love the van,,,,and the HAIR!
Hahhaa the hair is iconic! Thanks for watching!
Enjoy these freedoms cause as you age all this becomes difficult!😂❤
There is a place in the USA that imports Japanese campers of all different sizes and yes you can drive right hand drives in your country cos Canada is cool apart from the winter when parts are freezing (HA HA)
Great visit of Mt. FUCHI and sites around. How much a day to rent camper.? What does gas cost? It looks like Great Fun!! You made me SMILE!!
ENJOY ❤
There is not a more adorable couple than you two.
