    going to tokyo solo next year! thank you for this vlog. did you stay in Shinjuku? any inn/hotel reco preferrably near the station? your inn is sold out already :(

    • @katrinagem
      @katrinagem  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the first hotel was in Shinjuku area. You can check APA hotels - I noticed they are located close to stations. Thanks for watching!

    I’m traveling solo next year to Japan, quick question did you bring a tripod to take solo shots of the place you visit? Did you had any issues setting your tripod to film yourself? Sorry for the questions it’s just I been reading online regarding Japan not really liking tripod or whatever but I’ll have no one to take my picture soooo. Thanks in advance

    • @katrinagem
      @katrinagem  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! I brought a selfie stick/monopod and had no issues. Some shops don't allow video/photos though so I would ask first before filming :)

  • @djalliville

    What editing software did you use :) I’m planning my Tokyo solo trip as well

    • @katrinagem
      @katrinagem  ปีที่แล้ว

      Adobe Premiere Pro :)

    How was your immigration experience? I’m bound to Japan on May, solo female traveler. Thanks!😊

    • @katrinagem
      @katrinagem  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Smooth! Just fill out and have the 2 japan web QR codes ready (disembarkation and customs). I recall the immigration officer just checking and confirming my visa, and the customs officer guiding me with a digital form. Lined up and was out of there after an hour. Have fun! :)

    isn't it boring to go travelling alone? I want to do it but i don't want to feel bored and lonely T-T

    • @katrinagem
      @katrinagem  ปีที่แล้ว +10

      There are times when it does feel that way, especially at the beginning. But for me, the freedom of being able to do and see what I want on my own pace outweighs those initial thoughts/feelings. Maybe start going on little trips closer to you?
      Ps. Alone =/= lonely. You can feel lonely even in the company of others :)

    Thank you sharing your experience. I will be in Tokyo in 3 Weeks and also travel alone :). How was your experience so far ? its there anything you would recommend ? Oh and Happy Birthday!

    • @katrinagem

      Thank you! I felt safe the whole time (I didn't go out for nightlife though so I can't comment on the later hours xD). For general recos, Google Maps is a must for me especially for trains/bus (try to avoid commuting during rush hours though xD). Google Translate is also handy. Have cash and also get an IC card (Suica or Pasmo). The locals are really polite too and are happy to help. And I think don't try to pack too much in a day. Have fun! 😊
