    Japan is a beautiful country with nice and well disciplined people. It's ab example to the world how they teach their kids.

    Thank you so much for talking about your solo travel experiences. I've always wanted to travel by myself but I'm super nervous about it (especially when I don't speak the language). It'd be awesome to see a video where you talked specifically about solo travel tips!!

      I soloed Thailand and everything went fine, Japan should be way easier so don't worry it is one of the easiest countries to solo.

    I did a two week solo travel through Tokyo and Kyoto about two years ago. It was probably my favorite travel experience. I do speak/read the language, so that helped!

    Loving your solo travel vlogs, Ali! You are an inspiration to all of us to just GET OUT THERE now and stop putting our adventures on hold while waiting for others' plans to align with our own! By the way, loving the earrings with the bar/hoop combo in the last scene - where did you get them?!

    Hi Allison! Love the two Japan vlogs! Do you mind telling me your whole itinerary for the time you've been? Very anxious as Im planning my trip next year. My itinerary so far is all over the place. Im thinking of going to Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka/Nara but also want to see Mt. Fuji. Advices pls? Thanks!!

  • @dylanmicallef125199
    @dylanmicallef125199 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really want to travel on my own to Japan but I am scared of how airports work more than going alone as I speak some Japanese and can read a good portion of the alphabets but airports scare the living daylights out of me. Glad you enjoyed it and really loved the videos!!! wanted them to be longer though :( :(

    How do you take such awesome pictures when traveling alone? Could you possibly do a video on them? 🤗

  • @RikyuMntRl
    @RikyuMntRl 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice vlog, and for solo traveling I think Japan should be the first destination for people who are afraid of it : it's very safe, people will help you without asking them to, and it's not awkward to be alone there (you will see A LOT of people eating alone in restaurants etc).
    Not a lot of info in your vlog so better get it right : biggest daibutsu is not this one, it's the one in Ushiku (120m). This one is only 15m ^^

    • @allisonanderson
      @allisonanderson  6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Thank you! I take a lot of photos with my camera/tripod/timer/remote setup, and I also book local photographers in areas I'm staying if I know I definitely want some photos in a specific place (I booked one in both Gion and at the Fushimi Inari Shrine in this video)!

    • @jazzgirlie
      @jazzgirlie 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Booking a local photographer, that's a great tip! It's so obvious, but I don't think I would've ever thought of that. Thank you!

      minipax hater? This millennial generation thinks that everyone is a hater when they don’t agree. Get a grip. I’m not hating I’m just stating my opinion and the fact that people nowadays are followers and not leaders...not all but most
