Hi Everyone I'm New TH-camr From Pakistan Village so need help
Flying into Tokyo 8th of November, staying mainly in Machida a doing day trips to Tokyo etc going to Osaka on the bullet train. This will be 3rd time in Japan and after a 3 year forced absence will be there once a year hopefully.
Regarding the shrine or temple debate: I don't want to advertise other people's content, but I recently watched Shogo's video about differences between shrines and temples and it was very informative, it also immediately helped me to identify Mt. Haguro's place as a shrine due to the red torii.
To break it down, shrines belong to shintoism and worship nature and their gods while temples belong to buddhism and are the home of monks. The entrance of a shrine has a red torii as gateway while temples have a less colorful but even more impressive in size sanmon to go through. In shrines, you bow twice, clap twice and bow once while in temples you just quietly press your hands together.
There are some exceptions where a shine is also a temple or vice-versa, but that's the main differences between them. I really recommend the video, it's easy to understand and I learned a lot =)
@@LaNoir. cool I didn’t know that! ☺️
Sharla has always been an independent and positive person but seeing her in a relationship with someone that understand her work and supports her , well that’s all a long time viewer like me could ask for 😊
Agreed, it's a treat!
I'm so happy for her 😍
Agreed! Been big fans of them both I hope it works out. Such an interesting couple!
This is all we could hope for! I really hope it lasts!
Are they together? If so, That’s so nice! 😊
Chris is looking healthy AF. All that sport clearly pays out.
he looks younger lmao
@@saintchurchill6437 Yeah, you're right! Must be the haircut as well lol.
AF short for affable
Yes he is looking even more affable these days.
@@saintchurchill6437 facial hair makes men look older. He shaved and looks like he's 24 or something.
Chris looks 10 years younger than before the first Journey Across Japan series, must be the natural healing powers of the Dr Jelly pants
It's the camera/filter Sharla uses for her videos
@@idkidc8485 It was a joke.
@idk idc
They been eating healthier
I’m loving that you guys are making videos together where you can both contribute all of your Japan knowledge to us!!! : D it’s great to see you both so happy and healthy, and hearing about all of the things we could do in Japan!!
Seriously! They’re so knowledgeable!!!
Chris is much calmer and not so sarcastic in your videos.
I like that🌺
True. I used to watch his videos and really liked him but the persona he played got old after a while. Really nice to see a more down-to-earth and genuine version of him.
@@cerg10 It was really just a play. In the Asian Boss interview his true personality comes through. This is the true Chris.
the _affableness_ is increased tenfold!
@@cerg10 to each his own. I love his style because it feels like you’re hanging out with your best mate everywhere he goes. More entertaining with the brit humour as a Canadian. Not for everyone obviously I guess.
How docile and affable Chris is around Sharla it is amazing!
Docile hahahaha
He is so sweet to her, I love them together.
You make it sound like he is naturally a wild animal
I’m so happy to see you truly happy Sharla. I’m sure you are tired of people saying that but it’s true! I started watching you way back when you reviewed Japanese bread when you were still in university 😂 and I’ve never seen you so happy. I truly am so beyond thrilled and excited for your future. ❤
Thank you so much David❤️🥲
Chris showing a genuine curiosity in your stamp book was so cute haha
Chiming in with weekend Tokyo suggestions:
Honestly, as a tourist, just picking a neighborhood to wonder around aimlessly and 'get lost' down the side streets is such a pleasant way to pass the time and you'll come across all sorts of interesting places you wouldn't have found otherwise.
The affable duo
The two of you together gives the feel of Sweet and Sour. The Sour being Chris with his sarcasm. Love the feel that both of you give. Looking forward to more videos!
So cute, they are each others special guests. You are right about their collab vibe. ❤
More like Sweet and Affable!
Your travel videos have helped keep me sane during lockdowns, quarentines and travel bans. Even just seeing nature and changing scenery on screen was better than nothing at all.
So thank you, Sharla and Chris for your lovely travel videos.
As someone who hiked Fushimi Inari alone near midnight, it is one of the most amazing experiences I have in Japan. Highly recommended but definitely not for the faint hearted.
Totally something I hadn't even considered but I am glad this video and this comment are suggesting it. I am gonna give this a try when I go now :). Not particularly worried about any boars or wild animals as hiking where I live in Canada is always dangerous aka bears, moose, cougars...
In this crazy world it's so nice to see 2 people so genuinely happy.
Pro Tip, if you're wanting to see Asakusa early morning is great. My brother and I stayed in Asakusa and we were jet lagged so we woke up at like 6AM one day in the first couple so we just got up, grabbed some early breakfast at McDonalds I think across the street and then we hit up the shrine and there was just no one there so it was lovely.
When it comes to collecting, as a Japanese, I highly recommend Goshuin stamps (御朱印) which is like a stamp rally you can get at shrine and temple. The design is so cool that has recently become quite popular among the Japanese people, but so far it seems a few foreign tourists are doing it.
I learned about this 2 weeks before my trip when I told a Japanese friend that I was planning to visit Omi-jingu in Otsu. I never noticed the places to get them before, but yeah, it seems every shrine or temple that isn't very small has them. And a lot of Japanese people are getting them, but while getting over 20 of them in the past week (I have been in and around Kyoto for that time, so I ended up visiting a LOT of temples...) I only saw a single other foreigner getting one.
As an English speaker, who has no Japanese language, I've been to Tokyo and Kyoto. It's so easy to get round. People are so kind you can almost not go wrong (as long as your respectful). We've had people take us to the stop and then head off where they were going. You will never be truly lost.
Re: what to do on a weekend in Tokyo, the main parks in Tokyo (such as Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden) are a nice option if someone doesn't have time to leave the city. Even if the parks are busy, many of them are very large, so they don't impact the experience negatively.
I cannot deal with seeing you guys in the same frame. It makes me SO HAPPY for you two! 🤩
Chris is looking good! Like he's suddenly 5 years younger, I'm envious
Yay! Can't get enough of you two together 💕
I went to Tokyo in 2009, well before the Olympics, and had no problems getting around, using the trains with absolutely no Japanese. I rode back and forth all day and made it back to my hotel near the Shinagawa train station. Another day I was dropped off at Tokyo Disneyland, and had no problems finding my way back to my hotel. NOTE: One thing that helped a lot was having a compass, using it to make sure I was on the correct platform to go the direction on the train that I needed. Otherwise, only once did we get a little lost trying to find a specific park. We relied on advice we had received before we went. If you approach a Japanese person and ask a question in English, and their response is they don’t understand, try writing it down in English, and quite often you can get an answer. That’s how we found the park.
and when did you wake up?
I found renting pocket WiFi really helpful, so I could get around with Google Maps. That's really made things easier compared to 2009!
Tokyo has really great signage on their transit system. Was there in 2015 without no knowledge of Japanese, and had no problems getting around. They do a great job with their metro/train system English-language signage.
@@Nynke_K And the rental wifi hotspots are really cheap and excellent. I got one the first time I went to Japan and I will never not get one when I go there.
@@mrecury average jealous virgin
Oh my god, Chris looks so good!! His skin is so much nicer and he looks a lot more healthy!!!
Chris really do remember a lot of places he visited. The two of you together could put together an extensive guide about Japan, from two perspectives that is complimenting each other very well.
There is such a wealth of travel knowledge between you and Chris. Love these videos with you two together!
Agreed! I'd love to see them work on a travel book together. I'd buy it!!
Yes! 🧡
@@justfellicitya Great idea, I hope they consider it!
Chris is looking really good, I like when he is clean shaven. He is looking buffed, wow. Living his best life. Congratulations all round to him, you Sharla and us for being there being supportive :) Great video again Sharla and very informative.
I visited Tokyo in 2018, and I found the English pretty great when navigating around. The ticket machines, signs, all were readable. Also, the workers in the train stations are great, even if the English is a problem, there’s always different ways to communicate
You guys should start a guided tour company in Japan! I'm sure people would pay to hang out with you. I know I would. Love you guys! 🥰
I totally agree 👌👌👌
It's kinda nice to see two of my favorite TH-camrs in a relationship. Plus, they both are great at showing off Japan.
Chris looks 10 years younger...seriously. Good work, Chris!
@Sharmeleon you should make your own stamp, then if viewers meet you out on the street they can collect it!
That’s a fun idea 👀👀
@@sharlainjapan ooo and maybe a special Neko Neko Inn stamp for those that stay there? 😊
Neko Neko Inn has one :D
Months a go I wrote that you two are match made in heaven!! OMG was I right! You are such cute perfect couple and both such lovely humans! Have fun, enjoy life and enjoy eachother 💋 you both deserve to be sooooo happy ! ❤️
存在感と会話が自然でお似合いすぎるカップル😽
Good job with the weight loss journey Chris! You look so much younger now!!! 😄
You two are such genuinely lovely people! You come across so authentic and kind, and your content is interesting and entertaining to boot. Love seeing great role models do well on TH-cam :)
Been following from Chris’s channel for years and I’ve gotta say he looks 10 years younger! Chris, you should be proud of the hard work you’ve put in and keep going strong! Great video and you two look terrific together. Much love from Sweden!
You guys are adorable together. I'm glad you 2 found each other. It's nice watching you 2 have fun and enjoy being around each other. You 2 have great chemistry, and it resonates well through the camera. Plus you Both are pretty good looking, so as to make a handsome couple .
You guys have a different vibe together than you have separately. It’s really interesting to see a different side of both of you. Thanks for the tips :) I’ve been to Japan twice pre-pandemic, would love to go back in the next couple years. This time though we’ll be travelling as a family! 👨👩👧
You two are such a treasure trove of travel info for Japan. A trip is still a couple years off for me, but I'll be revisiting this video for the tips again!
💟💟
Coming back to your channel after a couple of years as the Japan bug is itching me again, and I could not be more happy to see you two together! You and Chris were always my favorite channels to keep me motivated in finding my own way to move to Japan. I remember thinking how you cute you guys would be when he had you as a guest on his biking through Japan series. I am just so freaking happy for you guys haha AND you are killing it with the businesses too! Hope I get the chance to stay at Neko Neko Inn one day~
My short list of tips, as someone who has been to Japan a few times:
1. rent a wifi hotspot. Costs $2-$4 a day and you have fast, easy to use (and share) internet access. I would also get yourself a power bank because having your tech run out of power at the wrong time is annoying.
2. If your hotel offers breakfast with room, get it. In most cases, it'll be mediocre, but it also saves you from trying to source breakfast in a country that doesn't really have breakfast restaurants so you'll just end up at the corner store half the time and waste half an hour. Also, it'll usually save you money in the end.
3. Have 2 or 3 back up things to do for every thing you intend to do. Especially in very popular areas and museums, sometimes you will find places too crowded and you are better off cutting it short and doing something else instead. Some of my best adventures in Japan were from when I said "fuck this" and looked at what else was in the area to see and do. I've gotten museums entirely to myself because I walked two blocks away from a crazy, packed tourism site.
4. When booking a trip to Japan, look at the major holidays for China, Japan, Australia, and the USA, then DO NOT GO DURING THOSE HOLIDAYS! If you can do this, the number of tourists as well as the availability of tickets to things will be much better.
5. Remember you are a guest which means you need to be polite and respectful. Keep a ziplock bag in your backpack for your trash. Don't expect that everything is open to you to enter or visit. Flip your backback around to your front when on trains and public transit.
In short, don't be the tourist that people complain about.
Thank you for mentioning hot spot because it's not something we looked into before. I thought all I had to do was add whatever my carrier had and would have access to data. I've never traveled outside the US so I didn't understand how little data you're allowed. In your opinion is hot spot all you'd need or is there another step?
Lol, love that you guys seem to genuinely like each other, as weird as that sounds. I don’t understand couples who can’t stand spending time together.
Chris looks so much more healthy, wow! his skin is so much better
Nice to see you together again you guys
Honestly...what a great couple. So adorable together, and their viking off each other is awesome
You are informative to provide tips on travelling to Japan, Miss Sharla.
This was really helpful. It’s nice to see that both channels might have more interaction now.
Having visited Japan for 10 years for both holiday and work-related reasons (even during the pandemic, though all of it was in quarantine hotels), I'm so excited to be finally able to freely visit Tohoku next week. Thank you so much to both you and Chris for all your travel videos during the pandemic, can't wait to put all of your travel tips to use! :D
Such a helpful video! Would love more videos with you two together in the future! Your relationship dynamic seems so comfortable and wholesome
I love seeing you guys together for so many reasons!
I have been following both of you for years and you’ve been my top two Japan vloggers foreveerrr. I’m dying over how cute and happy you guys are together 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭😭 soooo cute
I would love to have the knowledge and innate ability to confidently understand just anything about Japan. Seeing your videos and listening to you guys talk about each experience and touch upon memories made me realize that those things took time and you guys put in the time and effort to be in the moment while living in Japan. It's very eye-opening. I'm a recent college grad with no idea what to do in life, but Japan has always been in my sights.
Such great advice If travelling to Japan, and questions from the fans . It great seeing you and Chris hosting, thanks for sharing 👍.
I’m in Japan right now and both your videos have been very helpful. Very happy to see you guys working together. Love this video.
OMG Sharla the way he looks at you it just makes my heart melt
I love watching the way you two are around each other in “ boyfriend/girlfriend mode”. So chill and in harmony with each other. I still hope to get to Japan one day, it just looks so beautiful.
You two truly are the japan travel power couple. Thanks for the tips!
I travelled Japan in the peak of summer, it was super hot and sweaty but I found it so much better in that everything touristy is very accessible as theres basically no lines, etc. e.g. being able to walk straight into himeji castle when in other times of the year there can be long waits. Made do getting out very early, resting in the hottest part of the day in the hotel/somewhere with air con, then exploring later in the evening worked wonderfully
I went to Shirakawago around 3-4 years ago during the winter, definitely worth the visit. The place looks so magical when covered in snow, one of the best places in Japan I've visited.
I went during Fall and it was wonderful !
Sharla, you can probably find a book binder to bind all of your loose leaf travel stamps into a bound travel journal if you want to keep them together better.
Sharla it’s so lovely to see you happy! I can’t wait to visit Japan
Looking much younger Chris, healthy living will do that to you...and as always, Sharla looking timeless
Oh wow! What a lovely surprise! 🤗 Thank you Sharla + Chris for answering my question and taking the time to share your Eki Stamp collection! 🙏🏻Your Stamp book is so Kawaii too. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 Also if you both ever travel to Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia there is a good fried chicken place here as well as amazing landscape views. 👍🏻
I can tell you both are really happy together 😊 💕 sending lots of love and support 💗 ❤️
Thank you both it was very informative. Chris is looking good, healthier.
Look at you 2 with the coordinated outfits…. Love the vibes between you both 😊💕
Warms the kokoro.
You two are a lovely couple and it's been nice to see you on each other's channels.
You both make a great team! I am loving the "collabs" you two are doing together
For me, it was amazing seeing the videos from both Chris and you during COVID as I couldn't travel. It still made me discover new places and dream about eventually being able to go :)
That's what I keep thinking whenever Chris says he felt bad about making travel videos: don't underestimate the uplifting powers of armchair travel!
You two are so fun to watch. Yes, it is beautiful to know you are building your relationship, but Chris' general gentleman caring respect he shows you on your channel is nice. I love watching him be a bad boy on Abroad with his boy pals but when he is with you I like seeing his mature caring side. I like seeing you both in a happy, restful place-together :)
What a great team, you two!! Loved the video. Awesome info.
So happy to see you guys together. Chris looks so fit and younger. All that effort is paying off. 🎉
These are really great questions-so interesting. Well done!
Favoriting this video in my travel playlist. Cannot wait to explore Japan based on yours and Chris's tips!
I visited Japan in June 2019. It was absolutely beautiful. Very very humid but I loved every second. We did okay without a car, the trains were fine! Fushimi Inari for sure was insanely busy but I found the higher up we got, there were fewer and fewer people and we were able to get some lovely photos and stuff. It was baking hot that day though, I really picked a hell of day for it 😂
I've added Morioka to my itinerary because of your videos. Really looking forward to traveling the northern Japan area next month. Thank you!
Nice recommendation!! I received my stamp book that you made and they are so cute and well done. I will use them for sure on my next trip!
I still can't believe you guys are together. I'm really happy for both you and it's been a lot of fun to watch your videos! All the best!
I thoroughly enjoyed this
Great video! Thank you. You are both great sources of information great work together.
Chris looks 5 years younger dang! Can't wait to see the six packs reveal lol
Sharla literally don’t age since i subscribed 8years ago!! Her skin looks healthy!!
Thank you for this! I really want to visit next year so I’ll be using these tips to plan my trip 😊❤
Dude, I see you in at least one youtube video every week. Lol
Sir I Need Last 1K Watchtime Plzz Some Help Me..
Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Loved this video! I feel so bad for that viewer who said they’re traveling during golden week 😭 but I hope they take that opportunity to see the countryside! I have family visiting soon from the states so I am also excited for traveling getting back to normal!
Great video. Handy tips! Thanks!
They're so wholesome
Great video Sharla and Chris. My mum and I are coming back to Japan Easter 2023 and we are visiting the Kansai region mainly Kyoto and Osaka with some days out planned out to Nara, Kobe, Okayama for 2 weeks. Looking forward to seeing more of Japan
Thank you for the cozy travel tips video.
Always great to see Chris on the channel as well
I vicariously live through you both.
My friends and I made the daring journey to Mt. Haguro on our trip in early spring of 2017. It definetly was a long journey but it was worth it to see the pagoda there!
Thank you for this video!!! We're scheduled to come in January/Feb 2023 and I've been debating a day trip to Osaka / Hiroshima. This has really helped!!! Hopefully we can run into you and Chris, we can say hi and express our gratitude for your videos!
You two look very healthy, and I love it! Chris, doing great looking thinner. I’m very happy to see how the two of you are loving life.
My goodness - you two look fantastic! I was just listening while doing something else and I had to do a double take when I looked at the screen. You two have been turning into my current cozy comfort youtubers.
This is great! I'm about to come for 2 layovers, I'd love to come again in the future for much longer but I'm so glad to see this!
Thank you both for this, really helpful! Can't wait to finally come to Japan in Feb 😬
Great talk guys, thanks. I can't wait to go there.
I love this format.
