There are so many "7-days-in-Japan" videos on TH-cam, but yours is the best I have seen by far.
Thank you! A lot of work (and eating) were put into it so we're glad to hear it.
I agree 1000%
Only 7 days, they had good time and good experiences.
I think this video will be a hint to everyone who is going to travel in Japan.
Thank you! Next time we'll definitely spend more days in Japan.
I am part Japanese and I used to live in Kyoto. This is my favorite Japanese travel vlog I’ve ever seen! Partly because it was so food oriented lol. I miss ekiben! Great job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we ate A LOT in Kyoto lol! Ekibens are our favorite!
I have seen so many Japan Vlogs and I have to admit - this is very well done and one of the best quality Japan videos out there. Keep this up!
Thank you so much! 😊🙏🏼
YES I WAS THINKING THE SAME
This vlog is so helpful. We already booked our ticket and our arrival is Narita and that would be on Feb 2025,and pauwi ng Pinas is via Osaka,so perfect!!!❤would like to ask your itinerary sana wherein included na po yung Hotel sana where you had stayed in each day after your trip.Hope mapansin ang message ko.😊
I get bored easily but this was such a good video, wasn't bored at all. Great job
We're glad to hear it! Thank you!
Wifey and I will follow your footsteps I think ... precisely. Great overview in 7-days. After which - we'll decide on a second 'make-it-up-as-we-go-along' week. Thank you very much for this great plan.
That's great! You can use this as guide and do whatever piques your interest along the way. Have a fun trip and thanks for watching!
Ang gwapo naman.. kainlove.. nice vlog.. upload more please.. ang ganda ng editting and video shots..
Aww that’s sweet ☺️thank you!🙏🏼🧡
Beautiful video.Very informative.salamat both
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Loved the video ❤
Surprised to see a new channe post such good quality content! 💯
Appreciate the feedback and glad you love it!
Looks like you didn't get caught in rain on your entire trip, so that was lucky in that it allowed you to walk everywhere and do things. Very nice video with easy to listen to narration and music that wasn't annoying. I am so looking forward to my next trip to Japan. I have stayed in Takayama and Shirakawa Go too, and I felt like the ryokan in Takayama and minshuku in Shirakawa Go were the same ones I stayed at! Just a reminder for those planning to visit, it's considered bad manners to eat and walk, so just stand in one spot to eat if you want to eat it right away. Also everyone should know not only to "rinse" before entering the onsen water, but also wash well before you rinse. Applies to sento baths as well.
We actually did in Kanazawa and Shirakawago but glad it stopped and we were able to walk. Thanks for sharing your travel tips and glad you liked the video. Kanpai!
what a great video. I always refer to this while planning my trip to Japan
Glad it was helpful!
Behind this amazing video is a gem of an experience in Japan! Well-planned, experience-focused, well-documented (including video capturing, editing, and story telling), and well-rounded. You made 7 days travelling to many Japanese places/cities such a pleasure for all the senses - capturing snippets of the actual journey (including inside houses/hotels), a bit of culture and history, well-rounded cuisine, local products, and even dressing up many times to really make an immersive experience! One of the best travel videos I've seen in TH-cam, ever.
Wow thank you, that means a lot!!! 🧡😁🙏🏼
Welcome back!
Thank you!

I’m glad you love it!! Yes, that’d be great 😊 👌
That was a pretty packed itinerary- but I am impressed. Galing! Hats off to you and your planning. For first timers you’ve covered a lot of the places that are on some of most people’s bucket list.

Thank you and we're glad to inspire you. Which cities in Japan are you exploring?
@@traveltastetry Last time, I went to Toyko and Karuizawa. Next time, I would love to visit Osaka, Kyoto, and more of Tokyo :)
Such a well made vlog, awesome itinerary, definitely the best I have seen so far! Thanks for sharing and hope to see more in the future.
Glad to hear that and thank you for watching! 🙏🏼😁
Stellar job! Absolutely love the in-depth views you give of some of the most traditional, beautiful, & delicious aspects of Japan. ⛩🍡🏯
Thank you very much!
Thank you for a wonderful travel log. It made me want to visit Japan but at a slower pace.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you'll visit Japan! Definitely enjoy at your own pace. :)
Doing Tokyo-Osaka this April! This video made me so so so much more excited!!!
I’m glad it made you feel so excited! Have fun on your trip! 😁
NICE!
OMG, this was awesome! I would like to see many more videos from you! Everything was perfect! Love from Germany ❤
Thank you so much!! 😁🙏🏼
nicely documented, edited and narrated! you just got yourself a new subscriber
Welcome aboard! Thank you!! 😊🙏🏼
This the new “tourist line” Japan been actively promoting. Afaik, there’s an unlimited ride train ticket for tourists along the line. Quite pricey, but covers a lot of ground.
It’s actually called the “New Golden Route” which actually is much cheaper compared to the usual Tokaido shinkansen/Old route. Yes, unlimited for 7 days within the JR system
What a great video. Your trip and most of the places you visited I will also be seeing later this year. So this has been a real insight to what I can expect when I get there. Looks like a good part of the trip will be discovering all the local food. There is here a great variety of Asian foods, so I already have a liking for Asian food. Hmm the waistline may take a beating.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's fun discovering local foods. Enjoy your trip to Japan!
Planning a third trip to Japan this year and this is the best non-traditional route I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it!
Wow what a lovely video! Very informative and inspiring. I would love to hear about budgeting for these trips - maybe as a side video? We are doing a similar trip in June, but Im concerned about affording certain experiences! Would love to hear your thoughts?
Thank you from Australia!
Thanks for watching! I posted the link to accommodations and experiences in the description so you'll have an idea for budgeting. I recommend prioritizing experiences you wanna do and staying at accommodations within the budget. Ex. we splurged in a ryokan in Shibu Onsen but stayed at a budget hotel in Osaka. Have fun on your Japan trip!
Great video. Vi are doing this trip plus a little more this summer. Have was the room for luggages on the public transport?
Thank you! Shinkansens (bullet train) have overhead space for carryons. you can reserve the seats at the back of the train for larger luggages. For buses, they have storage on the sides.
That was one whirlwind tour!! It was nice to see you fill every day to the fullest. The pace of your vlog was just right, quick but full of interesting info and sights.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it was!! we wanted to maximize our time and experience given the limited time we had.
The best 7 days itinerary in Japan
You drawn my heart for this itinerary thanks Im stress free now! Food and culture 😜 ! Keep up the good work! New subscriber here
We are going on our honeymoon to Japan in October
I have already made the itinerary, but after watch this vlog i will change a lot of things because the vlog was so well done and the food… omg the FOOD
I wanna try it so hard
Congrats on your honeymoon and glad you like our video. And please try and taste all the food!!! Enjoy your trip to Japan :)
@@traveltastetry awww thank you so much!! Keep doing your great job you guys deserve more views and subscribers!
Nice Video
Thanks 😊
This is best video on travel to Japan. Can you please make other videos just like this on other places too? Really enjoyed this so much that we watched it three times. Can you do one on South Korea and Italy? - Just anywhere. Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you love it. Definitely more to come!
dream trip...
Let's go!!!
Thanks for sharing your Japan adventure. We've been twice before Covid and been at same places you visited. Brings back found memories and hoping to go back this November for my cousins traditional Japanese wedding
Our pleasure! Which ones your favorite? Congrats to your cousin's wedding and have a fun trip back to Japan.
@@traveltastetry definitely Takayama. Beautiful town. Had nice market and yes the Hida beef is amazing.
@@JoobklI agree!! Takayama is my personal favorite 😍
Love your itinerary but will expand it to at last a 2 - 3 week trip.
Sounds great! You get to enjoy the places more! Have fun!
Thank you for this very informative vlog. I am planning a trip this summer for my family. I was wondering what other transportation pass was used beside the Hokuriku Arch Pass for this trip? Bus pass? Again thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Aside from the Hokuriku Arch Pass, we purchased train and bus tickets not covered by the JR pass. Those are cheap and can be purchased with cash or tapping a Suica reloadable card
I have been in Japan for more than a dozen times and for the last 3years due to the pandemic, we have not been anywhere but home. Your videos are very good. It brings us back to Japan!
One small suggestion: let your camera stay longer and move slower in each nice place and nice meals so we, the viewers, can enjoy the places and food more. Your narratives and descriptions are excellent!
The video brings us back to Japan too. 😍Appreciate the feedback. Trying to fit all in to make a richer, shorter video. Thanks for watching 😊
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW... you guys did this in 7 days. love all the stay and different places you stayed at. Thank you for sharing. Hope to cross path with you guys on our journey some day. One last thing, what time of year was this? Look like the fall time frame.
Thank you! Glad you love it! Yes, around fall late Nov to early Dec.
Nice post...thank you...
Thank you too!
Such an informative vlog! Just want to confirm if RC hotel has an elevator. I’ve been on the lookout because I want to stay in Gion but there aren’t a lot of vlogs that covered this hotel.
I'm glad you find the video informative! RC Hotel does not have an elevator but the staff were really helpful in helping with our luggage or you can request ground floor. We love RC, location is perfect if you wanna explore Gion
This video is wonderful… i would like to have the same experience going to Japan. Did you have a tour guide the whole way? If yes can you share the details so we can avail of the tour. Thanks and more power to your Channel!!
Thanks for watching! We did half day walking tours in Tokyo, Takayama, Kanazawa, and Kyoto. Links in the description. Have fun in Japan!
Wow! I've been to Japan 4 times, but now I really want to try this route. Great job for your first trip to Japan, I'm impressed. Did you book most of your itinerary before you got there? I've always wanted to stay at a Ryokan, and hopefully I'll get a chance on my next trip.
Wow which area in Japan is your favorite?..Do it! Less road traveled but packed with fun, memorable experiences. We booked our trips prior to arrival and definitely stay at least in one ryokan for experience.
damn your vids quality are unmatched thumbs Up!
Thank you for coming to Japan.
Next time, please come to Niigata for sushi🍣 Niigata is a paradise of rice and seafood,so Sushi is so delicious✨Please come again！
Will do! I’d love to visit Niigata!!! Lets eat sushi!!! 🍣 🍣🧡🤤
Hi Ralph! Your video amazong. Could you share your trip planning especially the transportation
Thank you! I've put the Transportation info on the Description. Hope this helps.
Fantastic and great video. I am going to follow this itinerary, with extended stays in some places. Thanks.
Did you get the JR Hokuriku Arch rail pass?
When you used nohi bus to shirakawago, did you have to reserve it in advanced? Thank you
It depends on what time you’re boarding. Some requires reservation. You can check the Nohi Bus website on my description. we didn’t reserve ours on this trip.
One of the best 7 days I have watched. I think I will do this in May. How do you store your luggages during the day? Thanks!
