Lisa, AKA Harpist In Japan, was a huge resource for me in my planning you can find her videos here th-cam.com/video/EOpxhmKE7YI/w-d-xo.html Also This Natasha (who is a friend, full disclosure;), has done amazing vlogs that really helped th-cam.com/video/0_BZnUAzT5I/w-d-xo.html
Okay, starting off with the key card being left in the room gave me all the great memories from our cruise! And that hat!! You know how much I love it! And your fortunes and FOOD!! What a beautiful day in Japan!!
Please do more non disney travel vlogs if possible. Don’t get me wrong, I love a disney vlog but I am loving it when you go to other places more. You do a fantastic job really showing the beauty in the places you are visiting.
That is amazing that someone gave you the tickets to the museum! Things like that can really make a trip extra special. The colors of the trees, and the buildings are so vivid your pictures and video are amazing! If I was in your room, I would have my face pressed to the window watching the trains the whole time I was in the room. The number of them moving through that station must be astronomical.
I didn’t realize it until we got home but I never turned on the tv or watched anything online the entire time we were there - this was my entertainment!
Absolutely lovely trip vlog. I enjoyed every minute and always look forward to these. I love how you intersperse scenery, music and your commentary. I can’t wait for the next one!
I really enjoyed this video! Seeing this beautiful part of the world through your vlogging gave me lots of brain tingles and inspired my travel adventure side! Such great content!
I especially appreciate this vlog. Saw a part of the world that I didn't know existed. I'm looking forward to trying the Brightline train from Orlando to South Florida, although it's nowhere near as fast as the bullet trains in Japan and other parts of the world. Thanks for sharing Jen.
I love hearing that, Will, as that's a main goal of mine - we got to experience it TOGETHER! And yes report back on the Brightline! I feel like high speed rail could be such a fantastic thing for the US I wish we could embrace it more.
Watching sections of this through my Google translate lens/app on my phone so I can see what the signs and your fortune says! Haha...couldn't quite work out the fortune but something about washing??? hahaha
So glad you enjoyed your Tokyo trip. We stayed in the same hotel and had the exact same view! I did a TH-cam video on it too. Hope you managed to explore Tokyo Station underground, its like a little underground city!
This is such a fun and interesting trip! I have never been to Asia and have very little knowledge about these smaller or different places outside of Tokyo! As for the free tickets, I am a huge believer that the kindness and generosity you put on, is returned to you. So glad you got to have that special experience! And the gardens were beautiful!
Thank you so much for this vlog! I have been to Japan several times but have never gone to the Ghibli Museum. I watched Totoro, but did not fall in love with it and don't understand all the hype. Nevertheless, thank you for bringing us along to experience this vacariously!
If you’ve never seen it, the Ghibli movie I always recommend is Howl’s Moving Castle! It’s the most “Disney” feeling one. And the English dub has a truly fantastic cast!
I love this series so much. Tokyo is on my bucket list, but I’m a little intimidated to actually go since I don’t speak Japanese and I don’t want to be disrespectful by butchering the language if I try. 🤦♀️
I am half Japanese and Japanese who see you are trying to speak their language will be thrilled and will not feel you are butchering the language. They may giggle (they do with me all the time since I’m not fluent) but they definitely will love that you are trying!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed Kenroku-en! It is amazing there. I've never seen it in the spring, my husband and I have only gone in November and it is spectacular then too. It is too bad about the old-style village, the buildings are beautiful and you can go shopping for products edged in gold. Gilting is one of the big industries in Kanazawa. Although Kyoto is spectacular, Kanazawa is truly lovely and a little less crowded to visit too. Maybe next time you can come to my part of Japan, Tohoku!
Helen I feel like this was my first date with your beautiful country and my hope is that I will be back again soon! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Loving these vlogs! Weird question… how were your ears on the bullet train. Taking some of the faster trains in Italy would make my ears hurt, so just curious….
You say that the disney app is useful for your journey in Tokyo disneyland but can you please explain how to find the english langage in the app for iOS because I see only japan langage.
@JenLefforge wow 👌 👏 😍 Now i need to hope a miracle like that happens to me lol I live in Korea an hour away by plane And I've been to Japan several times And always miss out on buying the tickets 2 months in advance because they also sell out quickly

Agree thisnatasha is fantastic, I have watched all her vlogs for Japan and TDR Explorer for theme parks
I’m really glad that you enjoyed the trip to japan.
In behalf of Japanese I would like to say thank you for the nice and kind comments.
It was absolutely my pleasure and I cannot wait to return!
Japan is so gorgeous! Well tended country!
1. Love that hat 2. Pixie dusted in Japan! 3. Can't quite wrap my head around going 200 mph calmly 4. Did I mention I love that hat?
Lol thanks Donna and yes it’s something else especially considering how smooth and quiet the ride is!
Okay, starting off with the key card being left in the room gave me all the great memories from our cruise! And that hat!! You know how much I love it! And your fortunes and FOOD!! What a beautiful day in Japan!!
I loved the voice over with music! It reminded of Samantha Brown. 😂

Done and thank you!
I completely agree! You are a fabulous travel host. Felt like I was there or wanted to go there.
観光客向けでない井の頭公園を選んだのは良い選択ですね。そこはパンデミック以前は、日曜日に多くのアーティストがパフォーマンスを観せていた場所です。そして井の頭公園は桜の名所でもあります。

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing with us! Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day! 💖
My goodness this country and culture is beautiful! Can’t wait for the day to see it with our own eyes!
Love the videos of your trip.
I love how you make it into an adventure even with getting on the wrong buses

Loving this trip! I have never been outside the 48 contiguous, but your experience, footage and background music has intrigued me for sure.
That makes me so happy Trish! Inspiring people to go to places they’ve never been is a big motivator for me!
This museum looks great - thanks for the tip of booking before we get to Japan
GREAT VLOG JEN
All so BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE
and INTERESTING ⛩
AMAZING 👏
Thanks for sharing
ENJOY 💐
HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY 🎍
Thank you, Lili! It as such an amazing adventure!
It looks amazing!!!!
It was truly unforgettable!
Watching sections of this through my Google translate lens/app on my phone so I can see what the signs and your fortune says! Haha...couldn't quite work out the fortune but something about washing??? hahaha
Yes that part was confusing to me as well!
Just started watching your channel and subscribed. You are such a cutie! ❤
Love it. 😘❤️
Thank you Major!!!!!
Awesome ❤❤
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Chevonne!
You've got to try some authentic Kanazawa-style black curry if you are visiting there!
NEXT TIME for sure! I feel like we just scratched the surface of how amazing it is and next trip I hope to stay there a few days. Loved it!
Thank you so much for this vlog! I have been to Japan several times but have never gone to the Ghibli Museum. I watched Totoro, but did not fall in love with it and don't understand all the hype. Nevertheless, thank you for bringing us along to experience this vacariously!
My pleasure I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Being gifted the two tickets 15 minutes before opening is a sign you need to visit Japan again! ooooh, I need to visit Kanazawa!
If you’ve never seen it, the Ghibli movie I always recommend is Howl’s Moving Castle! It’s the most “Disney” feeling one. And the English dub has a truly fantastic cast!
@@amomerath I watched that one too...but I didn't love it. oh well....
@@amomerath I have seen it! I find it a little stressful but it's SO good, agreed.
I love this series so much. Tokyo is on my bucket list, but I’m a little intimidated to actually go since I don’t speak Japanese and I don’t want to be disrespectful by butchering the language if I try. 🤦♀️

This is so sweet! Everyone was definitely very polite and I can't wait to go back one day

No issues ❤️
@@JenLefforge I wonder if it’s pressurized? I know going tunnels in Italy was interesting… 🤣
Hey!!! What is the name of the shirt?
What is the name of the hotel from where you can see the bullet trains?
You say that the disney app is useful for your journey in Tokyo disneyland but can you please explain how to find the english langage in the app for iOS because I see only japan langage.
I didn’t get the name of the shirt you recommended. Can you please spell it out?
You can find all of my items linked below or on my website!
I thought entry was not allowed if your name wasn't on the ticket
How did you do it??
The gentleman at the gate took care of it for us.
@JenLefforge wow 👌 👏 😍
Now i need to hope a miracle like that happens to me lol
I live in Korea an hour away by plane
And I've been to Japan several times
And always miss out on buying the tickets 2 months in advance because they also sell out quickly
How long did it take to get thru the Ghibli museum?
We were there about 2.5 hours and I think 2-3 is probably enough.
