New 2024 Japan Guide Video: th-cam.com/video/bxQGu0nwg74/w-d-xo.html Addressing your biggest concerns about visiting (language, costs, transport) and giving solutions to help you plan a trip to Japan.
A thing of beauty ... Japan seemingly grows on you . Its natural beauty is obviously an inspiration to it's builders and artists .It can be seen in the houses and other structures as also the food presentation .Very well captured and presented .Well done Suitcase Monkey .
❤❤ ❤Excellent video , I just returned after spending 10 days in Japan. I will visit Gifu in next trip hopefully during Sakura blossoms season. Thanks for sharing. Take care and Stay blessed. Merry Christmas 🎉you and June.
Truly inspiring! You're comments and snips of historical information make this enjoyable and entertaining. Feels like I am a part of this trip! Thanks a lot! Makes me wish to visit where you have gone, and visit Japan. Definitely in my bucket list!
Fantastic video, saw so much that we haven't seen before. So MUCH better than the BBC, honest, real, informative and not full of focus on the cameraman, and lots of focus on the subject. Great work, much appreciated.
I believe I was lucky when one of your vlogs appeared on my screen while I was searching for Tuscany tour. And then I started to go through some of other vlogs in your channel. I really love the way you narrate things. Everything is simple I feel like a friend is guiding me through the places.
This is a beautifully shot and edited video. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this piece of creative content. And I will definitely use this as a guide to my next trip to Japan! Well done!
One of the best planned and scripted, detailed well edited vlogs I've viewed so far. Now Japan is in my bucket list. Thank you SM. It's in the class of documentaries.
Awesome, thank you! There's plenty more content like this on my channel. I'm also editing a video right now covering the cost of this exact holiday so stay tuned!
Paul, just rewatched this again, and still find it so delightful! Have probably viewed it 4 or 5 times since it premiered and obviously not even close to being bored, thank you for your efforts.
We SO appreciate your excellent editing and narration! I am Japanese American and my husband is German/Danish American. Neither of us speak Japanese. I am 4th generation in Hawaii. We have gone to Japan for the past 8 years. We are both teachers so we go during the school breaks. Our annual trip was cancelled this year due to the pandemic so watching your video was so relaxing and fun!
OMG guys! Hands down to the whole vlog making! the quality of the video, the shots, the editing and above all, your comments and introduction to each section! Great love for you both from Spain! ❣️
Sooo beautiful. Spectacular Japan and you do it justice. You guys do better with an iPhone than others with Sonys & Canons. Thank you and waiting for the next Japan videos.
I literally applauded when you made it through the wooden pillar. This video is not only very informative, but super entertaining and beautifully put together. Thank you!
I discovered your video as soon as it came out a few years ago. Both videos about Japan. Both are one of the best videos I've seen on this platform. The narration, the music, the scenery, the information, the timing...just perfect! I watch it from time to time to cheer me up. I love Japan so your video brings me awesome memories from that country. Thank you for working hard to make a superb video. Congratulations!!!
I haven't really thought of going to Japan until watching this vlog. It looks amazing. I really love the way you do your vlogs, educational and entertaining at the same time.
"OMG"...i am so touched....with all the views....n places...belive me there is no afterlife...heaven...it is during the life...enjoying warmth and cold...at the place this beautifull....😩😍
very inspiring, calming, relaxing and reminding us the beautiful wonders that exist around the world. Well curated content and love your voice and your narration. Thanks for all your efforts!
Nice video.. beautiful country.. very peaceful environment and everything is in order..very clean..Japan is the best.. I was there last year..Japanese people are very polite and helpful...❤️ you 🇯🇵 Thank you for uploading this beautiful video
We watched this entire vlog with notepad in hand, scribbling down inspiration for our next (second) trip to Japan. Looking forward to seeing what else you've got to share with us! I fell in love on the last trip and can't wait to go back. :D
Beautiful video. I'm still laughing at deer sniffing your crotch at the beginning😂😂 your David frost voice over was great!! Old style historical Japan is so much calmer and more beautiful that the crazy busy modern metropolis of the cities.
Look forward to your videos an nice to see Chiaki participating more in your travel videos .more fully now , big difference from the beginning an adds charm an a more layered narrative with her smile an beauty in videos a subtle contrast an completes your adventure videos
Absolutely beautiful. Great shots, great editing and funny and informative comments. I love your videos and I'm thrilled there will be more from Japan soon.I will head there in a few weeks by myself for the first time. Thank you for sharing!
"Underneath the all the trains and chaos, lies department stores and..chaos.." Couldn't have said it better myself. Exactly my feelings when I was there. Had a blast though! :)
I can't go without commending how great this video was, it made me feel i was part of the trip and excited to go to Japan again very soon after this pandemic has ended. Thank you so much for this wonderful treat.

Wow beautiful scenes - well done for capturing such great footage. And as for the guys with the mallet and punching the sweet dessert - it had me in stitches! Never seen anything like it! Fab video👍
It’s definitely noticeable that you made this video with care and passion! Your voice off comments adds a nice touch and it’s v nice to learn along pretty film! I wanted to vlog since long ago but since I have no camera, I didn’t think I could. Now that I have a iphone and see how great shots made with it can be, I’ll defintely make one soon! You’re truly an inspiration with your well-made content and good vibes :) you and your wife are so cute too! have a nice day 🌻
Hi Jess. Thank you for the lovely comment. That’s great to hear! Not sure if you’ve seen, but I’ve done a video about how to get the best footage from your iPhone. It will help. Wishing you all the best!
We have just watched this and it is one of the best ones you have ever done. The pictures and places you visited looked stunning. Your love of food was very much seen as you ate some wonderful food especially the cakes and the look on your face reminded me of a child I once knew. Looking forward to your next trip . Excellent.
