Love visiting Japan. While you need to be smart and cautious no matter where you go, Japan is generally very safe. I stayed there for a few months my first time there and have gone back for shorter vacations ever since and it's always the place where I feel completely safe at all hours of the day and night even when by myself (fellow black woman here) and even when out in the countryside. I'm so glad you really enjoyed your time there. Hopefully, you'll visit again someday!
I've never been more interested in a place. I already am saving to go back and celebrate Christmas!! I'm trying to get my close friend to go with me since she speaks Japanese.
I love Japanese too and I don’t mind they’re are not “inclusive” because they are a homogenous country. I’m originally from east Africa and Kelly would say the same thing as a black woman about my country not being inclusive because for us you are not black or African-American. You are just American and completely different from my culture .
@@mdte5421 exactly and part of being homogeneous is balance in being able to see yourself in your neighbor which osmotically produces respect, patience and reverence. When there is too much varisnce in the collective it produces apathy and indifference culturally. That is when community goes through the window.
Kelly, that blue is YOUR COLOUR!!! You look so good. Have you considered doing a colour analysis video? It's a trendy TH-cam/ TikTok topic that a lot of people are into so it could be a good video! I think you're probably a Winter of some sort. Hope you're willing to try it out!!
Shout out to Kelly for considering how a plus size person can even exist in different spaces overseas, I don’t commonly see or hear these conversations without mockery 😊
Over 10 years ago my size 2 cousin went to China to study and toured other countries while in Asia, and she complained about the same thing with clothing. She said even finding shoes was difficult. Her size 8’s were hobbit feet there. The shoe size thing leads me to believe that maybe the average Asian really is smaller framed?! I mean you can diet all you want but you can’t really cut shoe sizes. So it begs the question… are the clothes cut smaller because they smaller framed than westerners… or it is really a beauty standard thing? Either way, I’m surprised to hear the same complaints today.
I think they are smaller framed in Japan than the US. I've never been to Japan but in South Korea my US size 8.5 was equal to men's size shoes. My feet were so much larger than all the women. But I do agree some Asian countries may have preconceived notions about people from the US being larger.
@@KelcyPassportbyDesign they’re definitely smaller framed, and most Americans are larger sized. My comment was more focused on applauding someone for even considering that, especially when it doesn’t apply to them. Honestly I’m shocked by there still being sizing issues at dress size 2 or even shoe size 8. The design scale on clothing must be drastic
@@Keesha it’s a combination of both. Asians are smaller framed on average but they aren’t all built like that so it is also discrimination for the ones who are bigger framed. I’m model height size 6/8 and I kno for a fact I’d have a hard time finding clothes there 😂 especially with my size 10 feet too
@@Keesha Asians have smaller frames as a whole. I went to Nepal for three weeks once and even their large women’s traditional blouse was too tight for me. ( I am a size 10). I could get into it, so I bought one to bring back to the states so I could take it apart and create my own larger pattern.
You need to go to Italy next! My husband is from Italy and I’ve been several times. Cheap quality food. Beautiful sights. However the culture is very opposite from how you’re describing Japan lol. You can go out in a very revealing dress no one will think differently for it, and the men will approach you and smile 😂 10/10 make it your next trip
Stomach cancer is a really big issue in Japan... The society is also very misogynistic and patriarchal, it's a hush hush culture where young people get burned out, I could never live there under such conditions. But I travelled through Japan alone for a month too. For an outsider everything looks exciting, pretty and cute... Japan is far more than that.
I love the analogy of being a guest in someone's house. I think Americans are getting better at international travel but we have to check ourselves when we feel a good whine coming on.
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 Good question. I quit my job last year and have been living off of my savings 😆 I’m currently in the process of setting up some online businesses.
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 I keep getting asked that! I actually had to quit my job because they'd only approve two weeks, but the manager said she'd rehire me when I get back. I'd been planning and saving for this trip for years, so I was not going to not go.
i want to travel internationally so bad i’ve never been out of the country but i’m scared to go alone!! do you have any tips for women to travel safely on their own? i wanna go somewhere tropical while i’m single and unmarried but i don’t wanna end up getting sold on the black market 😂
I'm a young black woman and I went to Tokyo by myself too! Loved IT!!!! - EXCEPT THE MISSING SMALL TALK. Everything you said is on point in this video including the fashion. Also, I'm an Alabamian 😉
@@KellyStamps Heller! Take care'yerself yahear? Also, let me know if you want to grab ramen when you're back here 💃I have a HILARIOUSLY embarrassing story about eat'n ramen in Tokyo LOL
It's funny. With the small talk it must be a regional thing. In the Northeast small talk isn't really a thing. You definitely speak when spoken to, but you don't expect small talk.
So many people I’m subscribed to have been traveling to japan, it must be a sign that eventually it’ll become an actuality for me to travel there as well
I loved Japan, I did not shop much but the Fooddd 😍 can’t wait to go back! Ramen, Wagyu, Sushi, Okonomiyaki, Veggie tempura 🤤 Since I left I make several type of Ramen myself too
@@KellyStamps I think with that one it is anyways you either like it or don’t, I liked it but my husband did not at all 😂 there are different types to try, so next time you can try and see!
As someone who lived in Japan and went exploring by myself a lot, I think you nailed it with the "We're in someone else's house" analogy. The key to getting the most out of one's experience travelling abroad is respecting the culture of the country you're in. I absolutely loved my time in Japan and I can't wait to go back and explore more. I highly recommend you go to Kyoto next, or if you fancy a winter trip - the snow festivals in Hokkaido. ☺ Thank you for sharing your experience!
I don’t eat soy so anytime I make an Asian dish which usually requires soy sauce, I use Coconut Secret organic coconut amino‘s. It has 72% less sodium than the leading brand of soy sauce and tastes just like soy sauce.
Next is South Korea! I hated stuff animals until I started watching K Drama. I feel youthful, thanks to Korean culture. Americans are too serious and take themselves too serious. I am so happy I left, but Africans are same way...take themselves too seriously. I need to go to Asia to be myself.😅😂
The food is literally easier to digest in every country it seems. Wth America. I went to France and had the best gut health of my life while drinking wine everyday 😂 Japan looks so yummy!
Tokyo is one of my dream destinations. Listening to you sharing your experience in a very genuine and relatable way makes me even more intrigued to visit. Your authenticity is always a breath of fresh air.
I went to Japan in 2016. I wear a size 8-10 US. I was in love with all the clothes. I remember going to one shop and I saw these pants, but they were sooooooo incredibly small. I asked if they had it in a large. She looked at me and said, "One size! It's one size fits all. It will fit. These pants fit everyone." I thought it could be like a super stretch situation, and thought, oh! Okay! I went to the dressing room and the one size fits all pants didn't even go on one leg. Being in Japan was amazing, but it was also so difficult feeling like you were huge. Felt like the biggest person in any room. Was not good for my self esteem.
I'm size 12 and I can't find clothes in Korea, Japan or Thailand. I was browsing at a mall in Bangkok, just browsing... the owner came out and said "no size, too big, fat, no size" I didn't even ask lol. They mean no harm and I thought it was hilarious 😂
I went to Tokoyo a few years ago and it was great. The people are so polite and welcoming. I wasn't too much into the food though buy everything else, wonderful.
You've done it, Kelly! This content feels incredibly authentic and naturally funny 🤣. Screw the algorithm and other people's judgment. Glad you're exploring the 🌎
You're brave Kelly! Glad you went to Japan, and love your blue dress!! ...and OMG as a plus size woman, I don't know what size that lady would have given me lol!
Kelly, you should visit Osaka next time! Food is very good there and people are pretty friendly and much funnier! And you can go to Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara by train from Osaka☺
The Japanese tourism committee thanks you... They need to put you on their payroll. lol. I've traveled to a foreign country(upper-middle-income country or second world country) solo before where I didn't speak the language at all, very few of the locals spoke English(even one of my taxi driver), & my cell phone didn't work at all unless I used the WiFi at the hotel. It's definitely a different experience. I would not recommend it. It was a harrowing experience. Learning from your Japan experience or videos, it's probably better or safer to travel solo to first world countries & specifically Japan. Thanks!
I’ve been doing it for five years so I don’t even notice! I just set up my tripod and make sure that I do it at a certain time when the sun is hitting a window! I did theater and improv for a bit during high school so I am very confident.
I want to go there now, just for the food. I need to start learning the language first. I found a youtuber who was so ill, he went to Asia and he said the food was so fresh, it helped him healed from what in the Western World was keeping him on medecine. Food is killing us here, if I stay there for a year, I might be able to fit in some of their clothes 😆😅
Japan is one of the safest countries in the world so it's very safe to travel there not knowing anything as an American. Also, say kawa-EE with accent on the last half of the word because KOWAI as you pronounced it means scary in Japanese! Another thing, I think that people are different outside of Tokyo--maybe more laid back and warm. Tokyo is a beast. If you love ramen and Japanese culture, I recommend the film Tampopo, a charming film from the 1980s. Unfortunately, ramen is very processed so not that good for you at all.
I love this segment you should do this more often even if you go to New York you tell us about it the changes,… and the person who told you to go to Jamaica whatever eeeeuhm how racist 😂
I am laughing so hard at the “size large” Japanese girl 😂😂 I am a European small and I would feel attacked AHAHAHAHAHAH (not literally attacked it’s just so funny lol)
Omg I so can’t wait until my trip to Japan 🇯🇵!! I remember when you clicked the button to buy your ticket!! I watched your whole series on it. Absolutely took some of your notes for my visit! Great video as always!
Omg Kelly, glad you’re in Georgia! I lived in norcross and grew up in Sandy springs. Places I recommend if you haven’t been yet: Alpharetta - The Avalon Atlanta - Ponce City Market / the Beltline Norcross - (grocery) “GW” Great Wall Grocery Store / Jinsoo / A big population of the Asian community is in northern Georgia like Alpharetta and norcross or Gwinnett county in general and there’s so many great restaurants and stores in those areas. Hope you enjoy your stay for however long you decide! Love your content ❤
Kelly I love you, but it’s a bit shocking to hear, American people can’t make ramen, especially to find out y’all are just finding out about chicken bullion, this coming from someone in Nigeria. Now I’m going to watch the whole Tokyo vlog, bye❤
"Asian doesn't raisin" ha ha ha ha. It works cos raisins are dried grapes. Your humour cracked me up big time and that's un-usual because i'm black. ha ha. ( bad joke but hey, who cares?) 😂
i’m sorry honey that’s so cute that japan is SUPER skinny and the culture is fat phobic a bit from what i can tell but it’s so funny to see the skinny mini’s be shocked at being told size Large like it’s a sin (at least you have options like you said)
The food 😋 I can't wait till I can travel to Japan. I'm currently learning japanese so when I do go, i can understand the signs and be able to get around!
Hello Kelly, hello Doj! I’d love to visit Japan at some point. I loved seeing it from your perspective in the vlogs! This shade of blue is beautiful on you💙.
Wow! I love you & your content, Kelly. This video will certainly open the eyes of people who seek acceptance when outside of their comfort zone. Keep being amazing
I love Japan but it’s true , no larger sizes. I’m a small in US and Large there. Size 8 shoes were hard to find too. Also, I got the since in Barcelona that ppl. Thought I was a prostitute just by being black and being on a date in a nice area. A lot of ppl I know in Japan (Japanese) show a lot of legs so I’m shocked they were shocked. Short shorts and skirts are very normal.
lmaoooo. i went to Shanghai by myself, and one Chinese guy gestured to me while I was with my Israeli friend and asked him HOW MUCH??? we were like HUH?!?
For me, when you travel to another country, you're always a foreigner there, which means you will always feel out of place. At the same time, you are in a different country with different culture. So even if you act like normal, like in your hometown/country, it may still seem strange/weird/whatever. So I think we will always be side-eyed when we're in a different country. I also want to say that as foreigners there, it's always good to know their culture first. It helps you to adapt to the environment there and also to act accordingly. Maybe less culture shocks. And I guess the locals will appreciate your efforts to blend in. And as locals, I think they also need to be more open and kind to foreigners, not expect them to act/think like them. Anyway, mutual respect is extremely important for me. It's just my personal opinion. You don't need to accept/understand it. And hopefully you can get what i mean through my broken english.
Kelly needs to start a clothing store online. I'd buy all the items. Her classic style is my go-to and it's remarkably hard to find.
THANK YOU. My merch producer company was lame and backed out to due "budget" so I've been itching to do something on my own.

Wow! I love you & your content, Kelly. This video will certainly open the eyes of people who seek acceptance when outside of their comfort zone. Keep being amazing
I love Japan but it’s true , no larger sizes. I’m a small in US and Large there. Size 8 shoes were hard to find too. Also, I got the since in Barcelona that ppl. Thought I was a prostitute just by being black and being on a date in a nice area. A lot of ppl I know in Japan (Japanese) show a lot of legs so I’m shocked they were shocked. Short shorts and skirts are very normal.
lmaoooo. i went to Shanghai by myself, and one Chinese guy gestured to me while I was with my Israeli friend and asked him HOW MUCH??? we were like HUH?!?
For me, when you travel to another country, you're always a foreigner there, which means you will always feel out of place. At the same time, you are in a different country with different culture. So even if you act like normal, like in your hometown/country, it may still seem strange/weird/whatever. So I think we will always be side-eyed when we're in a different country.
I also want to say that as foreigners there, it's always good to know their culture first. It helps you to adapt to the environment there and also to act accordingly. Maybe less culture shocks. And I guess the locals will appreciate your efforts to blend in. And as locals, I think they also need to be more open and kind to foreigners, not expect them to act/think like them. Anyway, mutual respect is extremely important for me.
It's just my personal opinion. You don't need to accept/understand it. And hopefully you can get what i mean through my broken english.
Very true, when you are just BEING. And not TRYING you attract everything you want.
