WE'RE BACK😍🌸 Our first big trip since taking a break after visiting 100 countries and we're SO excited to share our amazing experience in Japan and South Korea, two countries we love!
Hi Oskar and Dan! I am a Japanese and living in Germany. Thanks so much for visiting my home country! Sakura season is the best time to visit not so hot and cold!! Hope you guys enjoyed loads of nice food there!! As our currency has been decreasing recently we feel very cheap to travel there😅I also love Dans channel for airline comparison! It really worked to me to choose which one I have should done! Keep going on your great work and safe travel 🧳
I think getting food poisoning on my flight is my absolute worst nightmare 😅😂😂 You poor things 😂😂 On another note, you guys have made me SO excited to see Japan one day! It looks like a fake little town it looks so cute and picture perfect 😂🤍🤍
Hey Boys,it's Friday night in London & though I watched a rather miserable Dan this morning, I guessed I'd be seeing you both in Japan. So sweet to see how happy you both are to meet up again. Japan is seriously on my Bucket list & I have a few online friends there,plus have always been fascinated by the culture. So looking forward to the rest of your trip. Loving the new vibe; good to see you both looking well & happy. Very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯⭐️'s⭐️👋✌️
Friends! I can't wait to see your adventures around Japan. I'm so sorry you both got food poisoning on the way over. I hope Kyoto and the other cities you visit will make up for it!
Looking forward to your Japan videos! I'd love to visit Japan some day. 😊 I have a weekly work-related meeting (via Skype) with a colleague in Japan and he's by far the politest person I've ever been in contact with. It would certainly wonderful to get to visit this amazing country and its people at some point in the future.
Hehe, good guys. You took the JR Shinkaisoku (Express) from Osaka to Kyoto which is STILL 570 yen since I was taking it almost daily 2001-2006! Western Japanese (particulary Osaka people) are much more friendlier than Tokyo people. You're lucky!
:D i liked the takeaway about how sometimes taking the touristy well-traveled route can be more relaxing. i think there are lots of people who have the impression that it's somehow inferior to do the "tourist" things, and that you should always try and blaze your own trail. i mean, yeah, one of the coolest parts of traveling is trying new things and exposing yourself to the culture. but there's a limit to everything. sometimes you might wanna just chill. it's okay to just do what you wanna do - it's your vacation!
Lovely to see you guys again against the background of cherry blossom in Japan. I worked a semester at British Hills, Fukushima, 2017. Japanese people can be so friendly. Looking forward to your next slices of travel in Japan. Your travel buðdy Michael now in Girne/Kyrenia, Cyprus.
Thank you for your travel videos. I used to travel a lot, all over the world, but mainly in East and Southeast Asia. I have not flown anywhere since September 2019, and since last July I have a dog, hence travelling far is not an option for me. I love your clips even more now, so I can still get a glimpse of some nice spots through YOUR lenses. Thank you 😍
I am literally at FRA rn and watching this video before flying LH in upper deck business class to HND, what are the odds?! Will spend three weeks in Japan and am so excited. Your itinerary looks very interesting, looking forward to the next episodes!
The beginning of your Japan trip looked fabulous! (So sorry about your awful flights). Those gas pumps are odd. I’ve never been to Asia but I’ve always wanted to go! Don’t overwork yourselves … P.s. did you buy matching kimonos?)
Nice to see my two favourite men back, and you went to Japan!!! (going there later this year🌸). Sorry you both got sick 😭😭, but you were able to enjoy your travel ☺. A question I want to ask you both....I know you didn't buy a JR rail pass, but did you buy any IC card like Suica, Pasmo, Icoca etc?
Hi Oskar and Dan - thank you for all your fantastic videos! Being an AvGeek myself and having grown up watching planes at JFK, I started viewing Nonstop Dan a few years ago. Later I migrated over to Oskar & Dan - you guys have inspired our off-the-beaten track travels to New Zealand and Morocco. We’re still hoping to get to the Caucasus’s and Dubai one day soon. But here’s a non-travel related question: I applied for a faculty position at Minerva U. in global health policy, but don’t know anyone personally that’s ever gone there. I’d love to get your advice (perhaps offline) about the highlights/pitfalls of your experiences while attending Minerva. What qualities do you seek among professors teaching in that model? Any advice from you or friends/colleagues is welcomed! Thanks again for all of your beautiful travelogues and wishing you the very best in your pursuits!
FINALLY! I was in Osaka almost the same time you guys were there. I remember you guys lining up for a meal until 11pm. Anyway, next time you visit you may want to get an IC card. It's a reloadable contactless card that works almost everywhere, in all train lines all over the country. It saves time by not buying single journey tickets all the time + it can even have you name in the card. You should go back for Nagano, Toyama, Nagoya & Takayama!! :)
Hey guys - another epic video. I just can't get over your video quality. Do you have a 13 or 14 and just shoot 4k 60fps standard, or do you shoot in pro res ? Do you do anything to the footage to increase the quality in post ? Its soooooo crispy. Thanks
iPhone 14 (microphone was actually better on 13, video is basically the same), 4k 60fps, Final Cut project settings 4k and 30fps, some simple color grading and that's it! 🙌
It seems that the two of you are enjoying Japan. The small desk provided in the hotel where I stayed on the first day is called a dresser, and is mainly used by women when applying makeup. It is the size because it is enough to put small cosmetics on it. Many traditional Japanese inns often have floor-standing furniture called dressing tables.
Hi Oscar & Dan, I just loved the Japan Series & subscribed to your channel instantly….When did you visit? You experienced amazing weather…..Is it easy to travel on your own in Japan? I am from India so didn’t you face any difficulties in communication
Hello there .. food poisoning isn't fun furthermore while travelling... We tried to tip our nice taxi driver from Kyoto station, he declined humbly and said *you do not have to tip in Japan* and we of course apologized to him for trying to . 🤭
Japan seems in a way cool. But after visited there twice I'm a tired of the retro future infrastructure, retro-future shopping, retro-future everything, non-functional internet etc. they offer. Nothing is on the same level as what we have in the 'west' - stagnant strange infra and non-functional internet.If I would like to see retro future, I would just start playing a game. Japan is what we thought future would be in 1989-1990.
WE'RE BACK😍🌸 Our first big trip since taking a break after visiting 100 countries and we're SO excited to share our amazing experience in Japan and South Korea, two countries we love!
Wow I'm SOO jealous - I've always wanted to go to Japan and now I absolutely have to
Let us know when you do and we'll give you all the tips😍
It`s so fun to travel in Japan 🥰
You find new things all the time and the people, oh - they are so friendly!
Love this. I was there exactly 5 yrs ago. Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Sendai and Akita. So much fun !
Amazing😍
I can't wait to see the Japanese countryside and nature.

Good evening.
Very nice 👍
As a Japanese, I was very happy.
Made me smile on Saturday night🥰
Thank you very much.
Have a nice Sunday 🤩

It WAS our worst nightmare until we had to live through it😭🤣

Great video love you guys content❤
Great catching up,,,,,another great blog, Thoroughly enjoyable, ❤❤
Would love to go to Japan
Another amazing adventure. Fantastic to arrive for the cherry blossoms. Remarkable to run into an old travel companion!

Yes, 100%🙌
i loved when oskar started singing after the skip to the good part moment! great video guys
Thank so much for sharing. Such a nice country.
Beautiful trees!
Wish I had known you two were coming to Japan. I would've loved to show you around! Next time, maybe?
日本を楽しんでくれてありがとう❤
Japan is incredible
Thanks for the amazing video!

日本に来てくれてありがとう
I really feel sorry for foreigners going to Coco Ichibanya. Coco Ichibanya is expensive and not delicious.
We're going there in June!
Dan... thank you for share this video. Just want to say....Kyoto is NOT a small city lol.
I’m so lucky I got 2 in 1 seeing Oskar and Dan and seeing Japan😊
Thank you for your travel videos. I used to travel a lot, all over the world, but mainly in East and Southeast Asia.

日本の宅配便を信用して欲しいです。たぶんホテルで頼むと翌日にカバンは次のホテルに到着しています
We have Cocoichi in London now!
I badly want to visit Japan
Nice to see my two favourite men back, and you went to Japan!!! (going there later this year🌸). Sorry you both got sick 😭😭, but you were able to enjoy your travel ☺. A question I want to ask you both....I know you didn't buy a JR rail pass, but did you buy any IC card like Suica, Pasmo, Icoca etc?
We didn't just because we were lazy haha, but it's definitely worth getting an IC card! It works all over Japan :)
Would love to do the same trip to Japan, may be in a Tour guided by you two.
😉🙌

Hi Jeffrey, send us a message on Instagram @oskaranddan and we'll be happy to talk about our Minerva experience!

Our laziness got the better of us and we just never bought IC cards🤣🤔 Hope you enjoyed your trip🙌
@@OskarandDan Hahahaha. I did, thank you!! Would never get tired of going back to Japan. 😍
すごく楽しそうで自分も本当に嬉しいです。❤日本の友達ができるといいですね。❤そして日本の奥さんができたら本当に嬉しいです。自分は78歳の女性です。❤これからの人生の幸せをこころより願っています。❤お幸せに❣️❤
they add apple flavor with yorgurt to make curry milder. it's good for children. 😊
日本を紹介してくれてありがとうございます！😊👍
日本のお菓子はあまり甘くないのが多いかもしれません
駄菓子屋などにもぜひ立ち寄ってみてください面白いお菓子に出会える事でしょう
would you recommend to go at the time of cherry blossom or would you recommend earlier/later because of the prices and the masses of people?
Definitely recommend going for the cherry blossoms at least once! It's a very special sight
With which airplane did u fly? And what kind of food did u eat? 😅🙈

We were there last days of March until second week of April!
Nice report～😻ﾆｬ~
Hello there .. food poisoning isn't fun furthermore while travelling... We tried to tip our nice taxi driver from Kyoto station, he declined humbly and said *you do not have to tip in Japan* and we of course apologized to him for trying to . 🤭
Yes they will not accept tips😄
@@OskarandDan we learn something new everyday as we explore people's culture and country 😻
Dan, are your glasses photochromic (do they adjust depending on the brightness of the light, from normal lenses to sunglasses)?
These ones are not but he has photocromic ones too! They usually end up adjusting to somewhere in the middle though which isn't always the best look😂
the JR railpass's are going up an insane 60% in October so really won't be useful for many travelers at all anymore
That's crazy, it already felt almost impossible to justify it!
report the airline for health safety inviolations but report to the nearest health department office
It was something we ate before the flights😅
So sorry you both had food poisoning. Was it something you ate together before flying separately?
Precisely!
@@OskarandDan Blech. 😞
I love Kansai areas ( Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hyogo ) more than Tokyo.
Can we move to tokyo from other cities after finished 2yrs language
Oh, you guy are here! 🫶 Canelita Sweets is definitely my favorite. The shop owner lady is very pleasant to talk with😍🍩
Yes she's sweet just like the name😍
Is that you guys…on out tv?
where is the place 😁 uncle
Didn't Dan have food poisoning too, poor you too x
Yes both of us😅
That is terrible you both got food poisoning traveling to Japan
you got any earthquakes yet
