Please note that cultural appropriation is very much an american/european mindset. Most other countries dont care and actually like it when foreigners appreciate their culture. Wearing kimono is not cultural appropriation, it's cultural appreciation
I’m sure someone else already commented, but it’s polite to be quiet on the train. There’s a lot of focus on the comfort of others in Japanese culture.
@@Transitlady59Um no, what is wrong with you? If you go to a country you should always respect its culture and traditions. Having money doesn’t put you above other people.
#Replay... Even with the rain, it turned out to be a great day of exploring Tokyo. The food looked delicious & the views were amazing. Thanks so much for sharing💜
I'm Japanese. I'm sorry you had to walk a lot in the rain. I just had a few thoughts and some advice.😊 Ah, so you finally saw a train full of people! But of course, that's not every hour! That's only during commuting and return times, so don't make the mistake of thinking that's the case.😅 And you guys went to Tsukiji market. Regarding raw foods, Japanese fresh foods are very fresh and are thoroughly managed, so you can eat them with peace of mind. We even eat raw eggs every day! Eggs are sterilized and cleaned from the shell, and bird feed is also sanitized.😉 Lastly, I would like to talk about Ichiran Ramen Restaurant. It's too bad you guys couldn't enter the restaurant this time. But don't be discouraged! That's because Ichiran is not necessarily the best pork bone ramen restaurant! There are plenty of other great Tonkotsu Ramen restaurants in Japan!😋 The reasons why Ichiran is popular among foreign customers are as follows, Tickets are easy to buy from vending machines. English menu is available. The seats are individual and unique. I think these are the reasons why Ichiran is so popular. However, since you have come to Japan, please try Ichiran if you have a chance.😂 That is all. So please continue to enjoy your trip!🤗 This text was created by an English translation site.

I LOVE that you’re doing a vacation via plane. I get tired of boat cruises & am thoroughly enjoying your Japan trip. I want to go there someday & am enjoying seeing Japan through your experience. Please do more like this 👍👍❤️❤️
Honestly, this really makes me wish Travel Spree becomes much less cruise based. There's so much to see and do around the world and with you two as guides I want to explore! My favourite series yet!🙌💕
Your content is top tier. Recently found your channel and I have enjoyed every video I have watched. I am shocked you don't have more followers. Y'all deserve it. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!
Leaving on my first trip to Japan 2 weeks from today. You guys make it look so easy navigating around the city. Thanks for showing me around. The ramen looked fantastic.
@TravelSpreeOfficial we are in Tokyo for 3 days. Then leaving on a cruise around Japan for 10 days. Back to Tokyo for 2 more days. Then home. Any suggestions while we are in Tokyo? Where did you get that yummy ramen you had in the video?
I love cruise videos but I really enjoy watching people on their 1st trip to Japan and Hawaii it makes me so happy because I can live vicariously thru them. Japan is my happy place.
You two are so cute! Laura don’t you worry about no box telling you your fortune! Your blessed every day with life running through you. Your a beautiful soul and truly a kind loving person. You have a good head on your shoulders and and a good man at your side. Your fortune is what you make it. ❤
First video of yours I watch...going to Japan in 5 days. My 3rd trip but first time to tokyo. Time to watch all your videos, love how laid back you guys are.
Love you guys... Can't wait for the next video... Sadly I broke my knee and wrist three weeks ago... I was hoping to go to Tokyo and Kyoto this month... But I shall live it through you instead 😊... Hopefully visit in the Autumn... All the best 😊 .
The model of Suica's penguin character is an Adélie penguin. The reason why we chose a penguin as Suica's character is because penguins living in cold countries don't know the fruit watermelon (SUICA in Japanese), and because the service has just started and customers are not used to it. This is because it was expressed as In addition, the image of a penguin swimming smoothly in the vast ocean matches the image of an IC card moving smoothly through stations, so it was chosen as the image character.
Oh wow you guys are super lucky! I have dreamt of visiting Japan since 4th grade lol. I want to visit the claw machine arcade 😁....thank you for sharing your vacation with us 😊 Safe travels ❤
Great video! Have to tell you that I had a big laugh when you headed to Burger King. I was like really, come on guys you're in Tokyo! Right after I thought that......Fain says to Laura after she picked the Classic Whopper....come on you're in Tokyo....LOL! - Coreen
It is frowned upon drinking and eating while walking in Japan. Public trash cans were removed in 1995 following the sarin attacks. I happily remember my time living in Japan.
My dad was stationed in Okinawa and talked about the Temples. My oldest daughter was there almost 2 years ago. They LOVED Japan. My cousin actually was a pitcher for Hiroshima Toyo Carp. lol he laughed because he was 6' 7" and everyone literally had to look up. He LOVED Japan. He played for the Blue Jay's and Mariners also. My daughter LOVED the bullet train.
Thanks for sharing your Adventures while in Japan. The last place you guys visited at night reminds me of the Edge in New York. It’s off the chain @ Night Time !!
I'm going to Japan in January and stumbled upon your channel. I am loving it!! What is the name of the stall where you got the kobe with uni? I love uni and having it on kobe is my new mission.
I just got home from Tokyo/Osaka last night. Was there for a few weeks. So unfortunate the rainy day was your first day! Lmao! I 100% stayed indoors that day. I almost called it a day, to stay in the hotel, but forced myself to go to Shibuya and explored the Shibuya Sky and anything indoors.
Wow!!!! Tokyo is such a amazing city!!!! The view of Shibuya Sky is insane!!! Can’t wait to see the next video in Kyoto!! And your first Shinkansen experience!!! Hey , I just Subscribed !! 👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉🫶🏻🫶🏻🥰
The same with the park near Buckingham Palace. I could not find one trash can but it was clean as could be. In Chicago, we have trash cans everywhere and litter everywhere. Go figure
Kmart, located in Tsukiji, a place where Japanese people don't go, is a Korean-style restaurant run by Koreans. This is the first time I've seen someone eat raw shrimp.😆
What, she paid for the oracle twice? How innocent! In such a case, take a picture and tell the amulet seller that you couldn't draw a fortune and ask for a new fortune, or put the stick back and draw again. The Buddha of Senso-ji Temple is blessed with good fortune to ward off disaster, to benefit this world, to heal illness, to ward off bad luck, and to open the door to good fortune. Good things are bound to happen to you.
ok 1:00 in and the person's umbrella is blowing away. It shouldn't be funny but I just remember the exactly same thing happening to me and all I could think was "yup, that's the weather in Japan!"
@TravelSpreeOfficial to me, summer was the worst for me when I was stationed there. The heat and humidity was so bad that we couldn't work. I was stationed in Okinawa. I would visit Tokyo when I had a 96-hour leave.
I love mochi not with bean paste though 😂 also the strawberries here are the BEST! The temple y’all went to y’all got lucky yall should see how busy it is sometimes can barely even get through the market it takes forever!
Shibuya Skyline! It's pretty at night! we went during the daytime. Those couches saved us for a while from all the walking around. lol You're going on the Shinkansen! Can't wait to see that. Yes, on the trains it's very quiet. Although 1 time we were on a train at night in a certain area and it was kinda loud. We wore masks on the train just to be courteous to others. Did you take notice of the women of all ages of how they were so well balanced on the trains without holding onto anything? I was amazed. I swear my husband had that pancake every night we were there. I think he put a boneless fried chicken in between them too. That stuffed strawberry mochi...ya I had a lot of them. The sugary strawberry on the stick, it stuck to my teeth. I couldn't. lol it was good. just, I need my teeth. haha
If you're still in Japan, do yourself a favor and eat at one of the many Beef Bowl shops like Matsuya, Yoshinoya, Shibuya, or Nakau. You will be able to get a good meal for less than $10 for both of you or more if you want to order some sides. It's fast, cheap and very good. Also, go to a teishoku restaurant like Yayoiken or Ootoya for a complete set meal for less than $10 each. Average is about $5 - $8 right now.
When I lived in Japan my goal as a picky eater was to try everything at least one time. The ONLY time I had something that I wasn't a fan of was at a festival haha Japan helped my palette to grow and now I am pretty adventurous!
1. K-mart is a Korean shop. Thus the "K". 2. I think you guy's would've loved Torikizoku. It's an Izakaya that serves all sorts of Chicken skewers, and its cheap.

Oh! I thought it was ok if we stepped to the side of the street to eat. I only thought it was frowned upon if we ate while walking. We weren’t in anyone’s way, so we thought we were being respectful.
Alright, George, let's show you Tokyo .... 😅😂

I would have definitely gotten one to wear at home. They are so beautiful!

Tourists spend a lot of money they can freely enjoy themselves including talking 🤦♀️

Hi! We wear mics, which is why you can hear us so well. We didn’t speak loudly on any public transportation in Japan.
It’s his first time in Japan, and he knows everything about Japan like a tour guide. Amazing!
I watched WAAAYYY too many videos about Tokyo before we got there lol
When Laura got the bad fortune of being alone forever without knowing she’s bout to get that ring! 😂😂 but I felt so bad for her! lol
Haha it was a mean fortune 😂
@@TravelSpreeOfficialso mean! You looked so cute on this day though! I wish I looked so cute in a hat. ❤ can’t wait for the rest of the videos!

Seeing the train full I would have had a panic attack 😂
And the guy on the outside was trying to squeeze them in to get the door closed.
Thankfully we didn’t have to get into one like that haha

Yes we read about that later on!
So what do you do with the street food where the vendors are side by side as it doesn't look like there's an eating area?
@@omadjourney usually you drink it standing there, or you carry it to where you are headed.

BRO SHOUT OUT TO LAURA FOR EATING UNI!
many would not dare. and you were adventurous. very epic. B)
That would freak me out, getting a ‘bad fortune’ - even though it’s only superstition and all. Poor Laura.
I love y’all ❤hope to see yall on a cruise one day!
This is awesome. Glad to see you are well bro.
Laura’s legs are shorter, she needs more steps to keep up Fain. I know the feeling, I’m also shorter on one end 😉
素敵な映像でした！また日本に来てください❤
ご覧いただきありがとうございます！ 私たちは日本が大好きで、あなたの美しい国に帰るのが待ちきれません！
Not the Marmadukes Mayo 😂😂😂 awesome guide to the city, y’all made it look so easy I just know I’d get lost af lol

Its Dukes mayonnaise, Lol!! A viewer from Greensboro NC 😊
You are so prepared. It seems that your research paid off.

So cool!
When aboard, get out of your comfort zone and experience everything with an open mind
As a Japanese person, I find it extremely unpleasant to see foreign tourists who don't follow proper manners like this.
Did we not? Can you let us know what we did wrong?

I was so excited about the candy strawberry, but so disappointed when I finally got it. It was literally hard sugar coating a strawberry.
Duke's Mayo is my favorite.
I don’t even know which kind I like
OMG YESSSS!!!!
