😀 A BIT ABOUT US:
We’re Marianne & Chris, a happily married couple from the UK. Marianne is a living kidney donor to her best friend, and realising that life was for living and never really knowing what’s round the corner - we decided to fulfil our dream of travelling full time.
So in March 2018 after the kids had left home, we sold our belongings, rented our house and moved into our campervan called Trudy. We set off to see the world and after vanlifing around Ireland and Europe, we grabbed our backpacks and spent 5 months exploring Central America.
Feeling like we needed a challenge, we planned the ultimate van life adventure! In Jan 2020 set off to drive around the World from UK to UK. But after arriving in Turkey, covid caught up with us and closed the borders, so we had a wonderful 18 months exploring this special country. Realising we were not going to be able to head further East, we decided to do a handbrake turn and go the other way and shipped our van to the USA.
We hope you enjoy coming with us, and we’ll continue to share our real adventures and hope you feel inspire to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.

You’re my new fave channel, truly. Watching your vids, I’m rediscovering my love for Japan again. I’ve been here for 15 years now and I am reminded how pristine this country is, how things aren’t crumbling, people are polite, and nature is abundant. Really thankful that you add more clips of the food you’re having while in Japan. I’m sure everyone is just curious about your reactions to the food!
I agree, been here 7 years and watching them discover all the "little" things that make Japan magical makes me so proud, honored and happy to live here. Sure being asked to send a fax for something can test your patience, but shogani ne.
It was frightening to see them driving without knowing that the diamond symbol was a warning for a pedestrian crossing.😨 The narrow road with the sidewalk painted green that you passed in the previous video is a school zone for children between the ages of 3 and 12, where the maximum speed is limited to 30 km/h. If the road is painted even slightly green, be aware of the presence of children and keep speed to 20 km/h.🤞✨
It's beautiful. Very very clean which is refreshing to see. No country has this level of cleanliness and pride in keeping it so. V healthy dishes too. No wonder you love it.
The van travel ppl were behind lucky to have found such a selflessly helpful chap to help them or they'd still be there!!!! :-)
Good wishes, good health!
@@5chevin5lol,yes but once you've lived in different cultures,language etc,You learn the gift of patience! And easy does it. Also,it's imperative to learn at least basic language and respect/ enjoy the culture. Such lovely people. I'm delighted this channel showed a pretty clear glimpse of zJapan.
Love the road safety features.
I am adding to my little bucket list!
2人が日本を楽しんでいるのを観ることが出来て嬉しく思います😊❤
良い旅になりますように✨
I am Japanese. I happened to come across this channel and I am enjoying it very much. Many Japanese, especially those in rural areas, speak little English. It can be difficult to make good communication.
Please be careful of traffic accidents and enjoy Japan. I'm looking forward to the next video as well.
Thank you - we are delighted you are enjoying the videos 🙌
Thanks but no problem communication wise,we will all be calling Ryan!!!! ;-)
That was a great one! You guys really have a gift at making things fun and interesting. Just love it. But I did laugh because the onsen in the tunnel, left was for women and right was for men. Hahaha. You’re lucky it was a Monday and no one was there. Haha!
Yep - when there are no pictures it makes it tricky !! We can't wait to catch up again next weekend !! woo hoo
Ryan and his wife rock!👍 Your sweet personalities and love for people everywhere is infectious... so happy many of your followers are wanting to help. Special people all over the world! 🌎❤️
Thanks. That’s very kind of you. We also love them!
Thank you so much! Yes we are lucky to have met them 💕
Huge thanks to Ryan & Aikiko🙏. Good hearted peoples always make life better❤
Agreed !! We hope you meet them at the party 🌺🇬🇧🇹🇷
@@TREADtheglobe I wish & hope 🙏
What an absolutely awesome video again proving how gracious the people of the World are!! The problems lies only with the Governments. While living and working in DC area over 25 years have met and worked with people from all over the World. All anyone wants is to be accepted and get along with one another. Thank you Chris and Maryanne for showing love and generosity everywhere you have traveled. ❤
Loving this Japan series! Thanks for showing us the world ❤
I think it’s safe to say that it’s because of the pair of you and the hearts of Gold you have , that makes it possible to have these beautiful experiences with Angels on earth helping you out in different countries ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow - thanks 🌷
First time commenting! Been watching you for a while, since just before you came to Canada. Proud Canadian here. Best video!! Found myself smiling the whole time. Thank you for sharing you world travels with us. I may never get to experience it my self but I feel as if I am while watching your wonderful videos. Ryan and his wife are such lovely and helpful people, I feel like I want to be friends with all of you. Safe travel.
So glad you are able to come with us !! And yes we LOVE Canada !! WE will be BACK !!
Were you ok in the underground onsen? The 2-way split to the onsen actually had 女湯 (female bath) on the left side and 男湯 (male bath) on the right side.
They are usually color-coded (male blue and female red) in most onsen places, but maybe it's better to learn the shapes of these letters to not get into trouble in your future experience:)
Thanks for the tip 👍
Im loving this. Japan is one country i regret not travelling too. You are showing me the delights. Thankyou so much. cheers cheryl from east gippsland vic australia
How incredible Japan looks already!!! So Excited to follow along.
The algorithm stopped showing me your vids since y'all left the U. S but I'm so gladly catching up now. I am sending y'all a virtual hug! Wherever y'all are 🙌🏽✨️
Thank you and welcome back - that algorithm thing gets in the way sometimes 😉🌷
Great episode! Your videos show the generosity of people throughout the world. Your new Japanese friends were wonderful just like Ersel in Turkey. It was interesting to see the food & people at the local restaurants & cafe. I hope you’re having a wonderful time in Japan.
Thank you - yes they are fab and hopefully all our friends will meet up at the biggest welcome home party when we get back with Trudy !! 🚐😂🙌
Last April, I was driving in the town of Kanoya on the island of Kyshu when I stopped at a light. The white stop line was a good 30 meters back from the light - perhaps the most extreme I had ever seen. Then, suddenly a full size city bus emerged from the smallish cross street and swung far out to make the tight corner using up all of those 30 meters to complete the turn. Yes, they are set way back for a good reason!
The kindness of strangers in this video is life giving
Going back and watching old videos as only found this channel when in Korea. What an amazing couple that helped out with language and all the admin. People so nice.
We are delighted to share all the fabulous friends of TREAD we meet along the way and show how kind and positive the world really is 🌺
The kindness of people warms my heart and feeds my soul.
Life’s not always easy but I just love it how everything falls in to place the right ppl turns up at the right time 😅great video guys keep them coming thank you
Love the music in the background
Epic, awesome and amazing ❤❤❤❤❤ you lucky guys , always meeting angels to help out 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Happy package arrived safely 😮😮😮
I absolutely love your attitudes. Things always work out, good karma always helps. You have lot's of that in the bank! Have an amazing time in Japan.
Thanks so much - we love good karma !! 🌺
This trip is epic my friends stay bless safe and healthy till our next adventure
Woo Hoo
What lovely kind helpful people you met. The sea looked amazing. Hope that was the first of many Onsen. Loving the Japan series so far and looking forward to the rest
I am discovering along with you what Japan looks like. 😊😊😊 you are so blessed to have found this lovely couple helping you all along with your stuff. 😊😊😊.
Wow I’d be completely lost - aren’t you lucky you have your friends who live there. Can’t get over how organised the Japanese are. Thanks for your videos and for showing the world to us. You’ve just added Japan to my bucket list xxx
Oh, how wonderful to have met these people! There are some very nice people in the world! Such a pleasure seeing this over the news with shootings and the war news. Very depressing, but this really made me feel so much better. We're actually trying to plan a trip to Colorado to beat this horrible heat we are having in Texas. This gave me the boost I needed to be open to adventure. The million dollar hwy scared me to death! Japan is on my bucket list of places I want to visit with Alaska probably more feasible. Maybe I'll win the lottery, har har.
Thank you so much to your AMAZING friends for their FABULOUS help ! 💕
Hearth quakes must be scary …
I hope you’ll be ok during your trip …
🥰
While driving to Northern California a couple of years ago, I got about a 10 second warning before the 6.2 quake. I pulled over the road and felt the whole thing. They can be life savers. 👍
Loving it
I had the impression that they didn’t like the restaurant food, but they were kind and complimented everything. True class.
The fridge can be replaced to run only on 12v avoiding the use of gas, the electrical sistem may needs a b2b charger more for winter to keep the house batteries full.
Im my van i have a 12v compressor fridge made by Inlander uk (narrow boat fridge only thing is doesn't have a travelling door locking sistem but that can be easly worked around) it runs from 2 130ah lead acid batterys 24/7 , the 300w solar panel with 40A solar controler can run it without taking power from batterys on a sunny day at 9 AM.
Welcome to Japan! 🇯🇵 I’m so pleased to find out this channel.この先も日本の旅を存分に楽しんでください。😊
Perfect quote from Randy 👌
Hot bum when going to loo couldn’t be any better 😂😂
What a crazy way of having to live with the constant earthquakes !!
We are so excited to travel Japan with you guys it looks so amazing 🫶
Wow wow wow those hot springs looked incredible 👏👏
Yet again wherever you go you meet amazing friends and are shown such great hospitality ❤️
Thanks both - yep it has been a blast so far and there is so much more to come !! Woo hoo
Wow every video you make is amazing and no wonder people help you lovely people. I started watching you when you were in Turkey during covid and when you move on to another country I always think, I'll never enjoy this one so much, but I always do because your adventures are always so interesting. Keep making these fabulous videos and enjoy Japan to the fullest.
Thanks Susan 🌷
Fantastic ,you two always meet the nicest people on your travels 🍀👍🙏
Fantastic video. Not sure what's more amazing the beautiful countryside or the wonderful people you have met.
Both ... and there is so much more to come !!
次も楽しみ。早く見たい！
Love love love your videos ❤❤❤ Your such lovely people! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us all! Inspiration ❤❤❤
Thank you !
I love your channel.
Great episode and how fortunate to have the US/Japan couple help you out with translation and collect your belongings from customs. The van I used to own was also a PVC like yours and those door rollers generally last many years but temp extremes will certainly not help.
Love your adventures
Enjoy Japan!
Ryan and his family are the best! Wonderful video and looking forward to this stage of your adventure in Japan. The view of Mount Fuji is breathtaking 😮
I wish you safe travels in Japan and lots of happiness.😊
Best Jackery Ad I’ve ever seen 😅
Thanks for small blessing .Luckily you met Ryan who is heaven sent if not it would have been very difficult to retrieve your belongings.
Thanks. I hope we helped. Chris and Marianne are simply the kindest and coolest people put on this earth. Amazing.
@@AmericanAdventuresInJapan if you knew how grateful we all are for you being there for our favorite travelers! I am in US for over 15 years and I know how good it feels to give a helpful hand to newcomers, especially to the kind as this famous couple of brits! Big thanks from the deep of my heart to your beautiful family!
Hello guys, I am so happy you met some new friends that really helped you both out. Love the landscape of Japan as well (the deep Blue water was nice and love the thermal water too). Hope your enjoying the food too! Cheers and until next vlog, thank you and be safe!
To the restaurants, for an experience for the palate. To the shipping port, for an experience with a palette. Glad that you got back your belongings. It’s all goods, oops, I meant good.
Hello Ambassadors
How nice are the people of Japan! I love that hospitality.
Earthquakes are normal since the island itself is created by subduction of oceanic crust under another one. The subduction zones are famous for producing earthquakes due to constant movement there. As you know, if they tell you " Tsunami" is coming then you must immediately move in the higher elevations. Recall 2011 Tsunami ?
I loved the video. Food was....Being Turkish...ihhhh. I would have a little hard time to get used to the dishes there. No offense to my JAPANESE BROTHERS! I am sure there many dishes that I would love.
Guys, be safe!
Love from Florida❤❤🇹🇷🇹🇷
HA HA - Yep the food has been very different to what we know ... but we are finding some great dishes !! xx
I miss a good dumpling 😢
Wow, they have the same pedestrian laws as Istanbul...NOT! LOL, not even the sidewalks are safe from motor vehicles here.
What wonderful people that helped you, wow!!!
Yes we are lucky to have met them .... 💕🚐
Hi .You guys are inspirational with your adventures .Really enjoyable watch.I noticed the terrible dragging buffeting noise coming from your windscreen wipers.A good and simple solution to your problem is to spray some WD40 on to a cloth and rub it up and down the blades. ATB from Scotland.
Thanks for the tip 👍😉
Sizinle yolda olmak çok güzel,teşekkürler...
Very happy for you guys. Enjoy your time there. Loving the videos. ♥
Thanks so much!!
I lived in Japan for a year. You will love Japan.
Happy Sunday
Love the challenge of having your stuff into your van
I loved the flavors of Japan but I had a hard time with so many of the textures.
Another great video and your friends are amazing :) thank you!
I am following your far east adventure with pleasure. Greetings from Istanbul.
Thank you
Wow you certainly have away of finding the most amazing local contacts. Brilliant vid and congratulations on 100k. 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍😍😍
Thanks 👍
Thank you 🌞
Feel better soon, our sulky, chubby, Japanese-lorry-sized wobblewagon! She certainly got full value out of those tiny wheels. 😁 The narrow tree-lined roads might give her some new adventure stripes! Have you noticed the traffic lights occasionally have blue lights instead of green? A quite interesting story worth Googling if you're curious.
Good shout on taking the opportunity for a soak in an onsen!
I have a Japanese word for your travels: "Yatta!" It means "Hooray, I/we did it!" Like when a pallet fits into the back of a hired van. 😂
Great adventure ahead. Love your movie, Love you two. Lookin forward to your next vlog ❤🚐💨
Thanks so much!
seven falls Spurs are marvelous.
Great people, very nice video
Love love love it
Very nice guys. Have fun
Such fabulous people 👍
You simply must visit the onsens, the Japanese natural hot spring baths... so relaxing!
Great video. Well done. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Japan looks amazing especially the waterfalls
Beautiful! Those roads remind me of the country roads in Ireland. 😮
Congrats on 100K! ❤️🇨🇦🤓. Been watching a long time but now I’m 100001!
Awesome! Thank you! Woo Hoo !!
@@TREADtheglobe thx!
Brilliant vlog 👍👍👍!
I love how people come together with just a common issue to help each other!
Agreed !
That was pretty amazing...My Daughter went to University in Kanazawa for 6 months 10 years ago...she loved the place
Oh wow! That is a really wonderful experience !! We are loving it too
If an earthquake that bad and sirens announcing tusami you must get away from shoreline to higher ground! You seen fujikami prefecture hit by sea
Amazing episode. Love Japan already want to visit.
Another amazing video... ❤❤
It's a shame you couldn't get the rollers you had installed. I thought you had been really lucky there for a moment.
I was wondering if you felt that earthquake a couple weeks ago. I am glad everyone is ok and safe ❤
Thanks Sandy - yes we are ok - they say there are about 5 a day in Japan so we are going to be feeling a lot more I think .... 🙏🌷
Hi both thanks for another truly amazing vlog👏🏻👍🏻 Glad you've been reunited with Trudy and really looking forward to continue following your amazing journey. I was hoping you could mention @steffmorris who's just starting off with 1K subs on his travel vlogs👍🏻 He's my best mates son who is truly amazing, and inspirational like yourself's!👏🏻👍🏻Thanks Emyr & Karen
Oh tell him good luck on your TH-cam adventure !! It is a strange journey - keep working hard and making the videos to get seen - and now over 600+ videos later ... Don't give up !! And maybe we will meet him on the road one day 👍🌺
@@TREADtheglobethank you very much for the kind words and I hope so too😀
@@steffmorris @TREADtheglobe what a vlog that would be!!! It would be amazing!!!👏🏻👍🏻
Right, my menemen is ready. Let me get a chai too and watch this lovely couple conquer Japan :))
😉🌷
I think this vlog was refreshing and brilliant with great company.
Is it possible to have a meet-up with Sharla and Chris while you're there?
I wish you both nothing but the best!
Hi Nick - I don't know who they are - but sounds like it could be fun ?! M 😉🌷
Superb video.
there are temple passports books that use to be available so you can go to different temples and get them stamped so you can see how many you visit. happy traveling. in california we use to be told during earthquakes don't park too close to buildings in case things fall, and don't park to close to waters edge on a cliff in case it falls. also if you are by the waters edge and it suddenly disappears quickly and sirens go off run for high ground its a tsunami.
Thank you for the tips
Japonya maceralarınızı bekliyoruz iyi yolculuklar ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely meeting you two today among the monkeys. Excited to watch your travels. Cheers!
Welcome aboard! And how cute was today ?! 🐒🐵💕
Liked and subscribed love this show amazing thank you for the content ❤️🎉

You cant get jackery heir in Australia... just so u no if u end up coming.
The getting-the-stuff looks SO hard! I guess logistics companies always do that for their customers - having private individuals picking up the stuff. My heart was in my mouth when the fork lift approached the smaller-by-the-minute van! Looks like a great first few days in Japan and a wow of an onsen experience - but you know - it ain't onsen if you wear bathers! Gotta strip!!!!
LOL !! 😉🇬🇧👍
Thank goodness for your new friends .otherwise you would have been well & truly stuffed
Hello welcome to japan my idol💖💖💖
ooo guys still bonkers in my mind.....but way in the back of my mind I always feel....better you than me....I can always sit on my lazy arse and watch your amazing adventures......
I would love a jackery power bank but the 1500w is about £1k it's alot of money
wow, on the road again ;)
