How blessed you two able to travel to Tokyo. Supposedly, Tokyo has the most Michelin star restaurants. Food heaven!
Watching your videos coz family plan to go to Japan next year. You guys are so artistic and articulate as well. Nice videos and editing is so cool.
I love love love all your vlogs! The style of editing is so relaxing and soothing. I watch every video and look forward to new updates. Travelling through your lens is so nice when the world is overall so depressing right now. Thank you for continuously putting out content.
stunning shots and edits of Toyko. I loved this video! thank you for sharing these personal moments of your life with us! you are so awesome 🤗
My first trip to Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 was in Dec 2019. I went there alone, not knowing anyone and first time ever in my life. It’s amazing 🤩
Welcome back to Tokyo! Hope you had a wonderful time here!!
Love you always find a vintage place to rummage through! If you buy anything you need to do a haul vid ❤
Your videos are so inspiring! We’re going to Japan in a month, and we’re so excited!
Yesss Tokyo vlogs! So excited 😍🥹
Going to Tokyo this December and I can't wait to go to cute cafes. Thank you so much for including their addresses! Very much appreciated
i like your cute way of traveling, shopping, cafe hopping. Makes me feel like i have traveled there.
Best vlog I’ve seen so far. Thank you
I loooooove your vlogs, specialy the tokyo ones❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love getting my haircut in a different country! It's such a fun thing to do!
this is such a beautiful video! a dream place ah
LOVED IT 😩😩 I need more Tokyo Vlogs
we're gonna do them once a week for over a month!
@@SamandVictor
It looks like you like tonkatsu.
If you are still in Japan,
It might be a good idea to go to Marugo (丸五 秋葉原)
one of my favorite restaurant.
Bills a great choice! Have a great time in Tokyo!
Loved exploring with you. I would like to see your shopping haul too! 😍
will get victor to film a short haul of his stash!
KINJI! I remember shopping there at age 18 whilst being an impoverished exchange student. We'd eat McDonalds on Takeshita street, stare longingly at the crepes and save our pennies for KINJI and the amazing emporium upstairs (can't remember the name now as it was 17 years ago!) haha good times :D
LOVELOVELOVE! I’m in Tokyo next week so these places have been added to the list 🥹
you will love it! hope you have a great time here!
Spent 3 weeks there in 2021...I miss Tokyo so much!
Thank you for bringing us to Tokyo 😊👍
hope you enjoyed it!
thank you so much for this. Im planning to visit Tokyo in April!
we love going to japan for sakura! perfect timing
Perfect time of the year to visit Japan.
great vlog guys
Welcome to Tokyo! I wanna make videos like you, especially I love your taste of music and editing ☺️
thank you! we really appreciate it
WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Please go to Bangkok also please please!!!!
would love to come back at some point!
Gyukatsu Motomura is soooooo good, we had the one in Osaka and my toddlers loved it too! Your vlogs are so nice!!! :)
Can't wait for more vlogs from Japan!
Tokyo is also in my travel bucket list. 😁
Great video! ⭐️
on my bucket list to visit japan
Be prepared to want more after your first visit 😅
omg that's so cute you guys were kinda matchy matchy during the tempura dinner 😭me and my so when
thank you!!
Going through your vlogs again for Tokyo hotel recs and feel like you guys would really love the Muji hotel in Ginza! So minimalist yet so luxe in all the important areas, and complimentary Muji items too. We got a larger sized room and it was the best. The breakfast buffet is good value too. Anyway hope you guys get a chance to visit Sydney Australia soon 😎
Ah yea I tried to book it but I think it wasn’t available during my dates! And it’s in such a good location too
Didn't know they had a Bills in Tokyo. Might try and go to compare with the one we have in Sydney
OMG this is hilarious, stumbled upon your vlog on youtube. I remember watching your Paris vlog before heading to Paris, and now, this before heading to Japan soon :P
Lol I hope Hong Kong will also be on your travel list soon 🤣
Obsessed with ya editing
thank u! really appreciate it!
looks like a lovely time! and having a washing machine in a hotel room sounds like a DREAM 🤣
You know you’re an adult when a washer and dryer excites you 😂
Love it ♥️♥️
4:24 yum looks great! What’s the name of this Udon restaurant? Thank you 🙏🏻
I recently found your channel and I’ve been watching them all! May I ask the name of the sneaker store at 14:48 ?
Welcome to Tokyo!
Ramen Jiro is very popular. The ramen and the ingredients are very generous.😀
haha we didn't know how to order but it was a fun experience!
The most overrated Ramen joint is without a doubt Fuunji in Shibuya/Shinjuku I can't even remember where it actually is. Foreigners who don't know any better keep getting fed recommendations on social media featuring this place but it's by far the worst ramen (and worst dining experience) I've ever had in Japan. Horrible.
I’ve discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching all your Japan vlogs ❤ so aesthetic and calming!! I wanted to ask how was Tokyo stay in Ginza? I’m going there in Feb with my parents but I’m worried about the noise (as it’s next to the train station), room size and whether there’s a lobby space for eating breakfast from 7-eleven 😅
If you watched our subsequent Tokyo vlogs you’ll know we ended up staying there again several times haha. I really like the location of that hotel and even though the rooms are compact it’s really comfy and only 30 mins door to door from haneda! But mine wasn’t next to a train station (it’s the higashi Ginza one right?) so no noise problem. You could sit at the lobby but might be kind of weird haha
@@SamandVictor thank you so much for replying ❤😊 yes i think it's the one near higashi ginza! good to know you guys liked it as I saw mixed reviews online. Thank youuu!
oooh Where did you get the new balances from?
I love you guys ❤❤❤❤
thank you for the love!
Hi Sam!! would you recomend traveling to Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto) the las week of October/first week of november? Do you think it's super crowded? Do you think there is already some fall foliage? Thanks a Lot!!
Usually end of November if you wanna see autumn leaves
Hello, are there any nice stores or restaurants near Passage Coffee?
Love your vlogs! 😍 What's the name of the sneaker store at 14:29? Thank you!
I think it’s called kicks crew? It’s in Harajuku
I just can't wait to go. It has been on my wish list for many years and it will be truly a dream coming true. Curious about the raw shrimp if you go to Michelin restaurant or Omakase, is it truly not acceptable if I won't eat it? I get easy food poisoned from sea food and the raw will do it for me 100%.
No problem at all. Just give the chef a heads up
OMG you guys are in Japan!
Yes we are! Finally back after 3 years!
Is there a list of all the places you visited in this vlog :)
7:20 I mean not surprised since it’s Kabukicho, since isn’t the better rated one in Mita?
Secondly you could just order an egg with a ticket lol it’s one of the purple buttons or at least it was purple lol
ALSO A WASHER DRYER? Bruh I had a hard time looking for hotels with one 😅
what was the name of the soba noodle place
What’s the name of that room at prince tower🔥
You don’t need to touch the toilet lid and toilet seat. You just push the upper controller on the wall and they move up and down.
does that apply for every single toilet here??
i had to laugh at Jiro cult😂
I had similar experience queuing for more than an hour at Dominique Ansel bakery in Omotesando, finally by the time i could place my order sakura special was sold out i had to settle for something else
I love getting haircut, gel nails & eyelash extensions in Japan (brow shaping a few times) the service is amazing & techniques are very different😊
Where do you usually go to in Japan when you get haircuts, nails, and lashes?
@@vvc2137 i prefer Omotesando, Aoyama, Shibuya or Daikanyama. It varies, depending when & with whom you can get an appointment. Best nailist or estheticians are fully booked 2-3 weeks ahead
@@bimblaq oh can you share some nail salon recs? I'm looking to get my nails done too! but nothing too 'crazy'
@@SamandVictor I sent you a DM on IG with few recommendations😊👍🏻
Hopefully it’s helpful. Many nail salons are very small that’s why scheduling an appointment spontaneously is difficult😓
@@bimblaq good to know! Yes I’ll try my luck!
OMG we're also planning to stay at this hotel with my bestfriend! which room type did you guys stayed in?
The corner tower!
Can you comment on the salon? Do you recommend it after your experience?
i wish it was more 'extreme' but it's good for a decent cut if you know what i mean? lol. but no problem in communicating since they do speak english!
Hi Sam, the room you booked in Prince Park Tokyo Tower, it is the Panoramic corner room ? Does it comes with the Balcony ?
The vlog is awesome glad that you two enjoyed Tokyo ❤
We stayed in 2 different rooms- so the one with balcony is the panoramic one.. the corner one is different but I forgot the name
Hi may i know which room type were you guys staying in at prince park?
the panoramic corner king!
what is that shoes at 11:43? please tell me
What room specifically is this in the Prince Tokyo Tower hotel please? I’m trying to find one similar where I’d get a guarantee view of the tower. Thanks!:)
@samandvictor I would like to know this too please 🙏
💖💖
Hi can you pls mention prices for haircut men and women?and gel polish,how much is the prices estimation?thnks so much😊😊😊
mine came out to be around USD 125 for cut and color
can you list the names of the restaurants that you went to? thanks!
All the names and addresses are embedded in the vlog!
Thanks for the video! I assume masks aren’t mandatory anymore there? Man, need to go visit again!!! ❤
it's not mandatory but people generally wear them everywhere.. so we wear them indoors most of the time!
8:02 haha, Jiro is the most manly ramen. Thick and hard noodles, pork fat, garlic, thin broth that tastes completely different from restaurant to restaurant....Although not outstandingly delicious, Jiro-junkies love the volume and high calorie content.
haha yeah I can see how it would appeal to college students! I guess I should've researched before queuing XD
if you don't have the boost can you visit with an updated PCR test?
Hm not sure about booster but we didn’t have to take any PCR tests to enter the country
@@SamandVictor thank you!!
OMG 😢I should change my plan travel to Tokyo
Unfortunately I already booked my ticket to Osaka😢
what is the hair salon called? :))))
Sozo! I put the address in the video
👍❤️🇵🇱
How long did you stay in total in Japan?
Around 6 weeks!
why did you guys bring 5 suitcases lolll
For context we were living in Canada for 8 months since Hong Kong’s covid measures were really strict back then so we just had a lot of stuff to bring home (we just made a long pitstop in Tokyo haha)
good you guys ate donuts seated and standing. bad manners in japan to eat and walk outside.
So, did Toronto have horrible coffee in comparison?
it's not horrible but normally it's a dark roast and a lot of cafes don't measure the amount of milk they put in their lattes resulting in a very milky ratio of coffee
you guys took surprisingly little luggage for 6 months in japan
It’s 6 months of stuff from Canada!
Wait? Did he get 550s for 76$? Or was it the first one? 😅
he's gonna talk about the 3 pairs of sneakers he got and the prices in the next vlog!
@@SamandVictor thank you! I will stay tuned!
ホテル、めっちゃいいじゃん。(^_^)
Yes it’s wonderful!
Welcome to TOKYO!
But please wear the mask everytime.
Yes, to people going to Japan please be respectful of the mask etiquette in their country.
Ramen Jiro ? Ramen Jiro ? Wao you 2 deep Japanese.
😂we just followed other locals who were queuing.. no idea what we were doing
Ummm 5 suitcases seems like an excessive number of suitcases
If you guys return, please pop back to one of my comments and let me know so I can give you a short list of my top recommendations as going by your vlogs you've not been to any of them. I go to coffee shops as often as you two when in Japan and I laugh out loud every time I see you guys making a pitstop for caffeinated beverages on your daily perambulations. I love it! Anybody wanting some great general recommendations for really hidden, niche shops, cafes and other things to do in and around Tokyo, let me know. I'll gladly help. I REALLY appreciate getting recommendations (and tips) from other people and so I'm returning the gesture. ☕☕🗾🚶♀
Not sure which video you shared but we just made it to the bills @ginza for brunch. Tks!!
Yay I’m glad! Hope you guys liked it!
your nose 🤣🙏🏻
nice 👌🏼
