oh my gosh I got totally hooked on Gashapon in japan 🤣😅 have you ever done a toy capsule machine before?!
The calcifer in the middle of the studio ghibli shop nearly had me in tears might be the coolest thing I have ever seen
No unfortunately 🥺but I definitely would if ever go to Japan,thanks for showing us
So what's the average cost of a gashabon or are they all different prices?
@@dalayneygirl8059depending on the popularity and quality, the anime and small gachapon usually around 300 yen to 500 yen ($3-$5). Though I had seen 200 yen but it’s already so rare. Then there are more gachapon stuff that are price between 1000-2000 yen ($10-20) this is more like lucky gachapon stuff, the items varied from clothes, hat, electronics stuff like usb cable to mini flashlight and then if you lucky: an iPhone and such.
Yup every time I visit the East Asian countries, I will take some home lol, Japan, China and Korea had a huge selection, also Singapore and lately here in Indonesia capital city, I see gachapon machine popping up😊
I love those Japanese episodes so much. Your excitement is infectious :)
Oh my gosh thank you so much hehe I’m glad you enjoy them! 🥹🌸🌸🌸
I mean you can’t help but get hooked on each game and character and experience you showed! What fun! My eldest son returns tomorrow from a month in Tokyo and Osaka…I am extra excited to see all his video footage now!
heheh oh my gosh I bet he will have some fun memories and stories to share! 😍 I hope he had the best time!
Such a fun vlog! We really enjoyed seeing all of your fun with the Gashapon. How did the large princesses fit in the ball? Dean looked like he was about to hit his head in that tunnel🤣 Don’t think I’ll ever get there myself, so it’s a real treat to follow along on your dream trip💛Thanks for sharing!
Heheh they are like click together it was quite cool actually 🤣 I thought the design was super clever! Hahaha I know the tunnel was so small wasn’t it hehe 😅💕 thank you so much for watching!
Oh wow, everything looked amazing 🤩 I don't know how I would survive going into those stores selling cute merch 🥹 I love everything 🩷🩷🩷 I'm sure the gashapon would kill me too😢 Japan is amazing 🤩
hehe it really is, it was so hard not buying everything, they really know how to do merch well! 🤣
Great vlog Catherine! We love Shinjuku at night too, it’s so mesmerising! Did you go to the new Kabukicho Tower? They have cool gashapon there too 😊♥️
We didn’t go in there! There’s so much to do isn’t there 🤣 we need to go back lol 😆
@@catherinekayy There's so much! The Sunshine City looks amazing, on our list for next time! 🥰
This was so interesting!! I’ve been wanting to go to Japan more recently, and just looking at all the gashapon places and tiny alleys of food/drink is so intriguing to me.
Hehehe I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🥹🌸🌸🌸 thank you so much for watching
I found your channel via Disney in detail. I'm watching this older vlog marathon style. I really enjoy your content. You really have an eye for detail no pun intended 😂 as I'm making this comment the end of this vlog says your next vlog is Disney Sea so I am giddy excited. As I'm watching your vlogs I'm communicating with my daughter who is currently in Tokyo She and her friend are going on the silver seas cruise for 2 weeks then coming back for Disneyland and Disney sea.
Oh my gosh. I think I would love Gashapon hunting! Also- your cheese fondu meal looked incredible (: the merch in Japan appears to be on a different level. So cute! Can’t wait for the next vlog (:
The cheese fondue was deeeeelicious I would highly reccomend if you ever go! Omgosh 🤤
I loooooove your Japan Vlogs so much! 😍💕🤩 thank you for making these!

I love your Japan Vlog! I am a Japanese and I'm so happy that you have interest in our placement and culture! I highly recommend to go to Pokemon Cafe @ Nihonbashi, and also try to visit Ghibli Museum @ Mitaka. You need to book the ticket and time for both of placements but there is wonderful place! Oh, and Tokyo station has a lot of fun things.
Ohhh thank you so so much for the suggestions eheheh these are really helpful! We tried to book the Pokemon Cafe :') and we missed it! Hopefully we will get it next time! 🌸
i'm so grateful to have met you guys on your very first Japan trip! 😭😭
it honestly made my year - and i couldn't have imagined a more perfect time with the two of you.
all my love and hugs from jonathon & i 🙇🏽♂️🙇🏼♂️
It was the highlight of my trip meeting you both 🥹🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸 we hope we see you again! 🌸🌸🥹🥹🥹 thank you for a beautiful time!
Never clicked so fast in my life, just been watching the travel day and researching japan airlines. Thank you so much for these videos
heheh thank YOU so much for watching I really hope you enjoy it! This was a fun 48 hours!
Yet another banger Catherine! Mondays and Wednesdays has become my favourite days in the week, because that means vlog days from you. Thank you for your lovely vlogs from Japan and the Katnipp Studio.
Oh my gosh this is a huge compliment hehehe thank you so much for watching and supporting 🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Do certain people ask to not be in your vlogs? I noticed some people are blurred and some aren’t!
No I didn't get anyone telling me not to vlog or anything, I just blur the faces that are super obvious in the shot ✨
Wow, I'm already learning so much from watching your vlogs - can't wait to see the rest of the series and really can't wait until I can visit Japan!
Oh wow thank you so much! This means the world! Super happy your enjoying them Tamara!
Thank you so much for showing the trip to and exploring around Sunshine City as my husband & I are definitely planning to visit when we go 😍 12 days and counting!!!
Eeeek! I deffo reccomend it there’s so much to do here especially if it’s a rainy day! It’s a great place to explore!
I would go broke in Japan….😭😂 everything so cute.
Enjoy
Ing your Japan vlogs so far…..so excited for you two!
hahha i totally went over budget 😅🤣 oh well! YOLO hahaha 🤣 so excited you are liking them thank you so much for watching!
OMGGGGGG!!! Literally my DREAM!!!!!! The Studio Ghibli one is my faveeeeeee I could spend hours there just to appreciate all the craftsmanship and cuteness of everything!!!! Thank you for this vlogggg😘😘😘

@@j.h.7199 amazing! We will be there the same time :) I arrive on the 3rd. Have a wonderful trip!
Looks like you had such a great time! I'll be honest, though, the narrow alleys made me nervous. 😰
Hehehe they were so fun to walk down! But I can see why some wouldn’t like it! 🥹🌸
OK LIVING FOR ALL THESE JAPAN VLOGS ❤
Hehehe thank you sooo much 🥹🥹🌸 so happy you enjoy them!
日本にガチャポンしに来た人❤好きねー、って旦那もかー！、、、またのお越しをお待ちしております。
heheh we love Gashapon! Thank you so much for watching we are happy you enjoyed the video! 🌸
OMG I want EVERYTHING! 😆 Thanks for another amazing vlog!
Thank you so much for watching! 😍
Loving your Japan series so very much. Am on my own health journey at the moment and am down 3st 4lbs so far! Dean never seems too happy haha but assume he is loving it! You both look great and Catherine you must feel amazing to have been on such a dream trip looking so beautiful (and Dean looking great too!) ☺️👍🏻
Oh wow hehe thank you so so much 🌸 heheheh Dean has permo RBF lol (also hes camera shy hehe) 🤣 it's so funny he makes me laugh hahah 🌸 Thank you so much for the support and the wonderful words of encouragement! YOU DA BEST
I'm having so much fun following you guys on your Japan trip! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Oh my gosh! Hehe thank you so much I’m happy your having a good time 🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hands down, this is my favourite Japan travel series I've seen on TH-cam. As I said in my comment from travel day, you are clearly coming to Japan with equal levels of enthusiasm and knowledge. The fact you're pixelating the faces of people in the back is a level of cultural knowledge that I see VERY rarely from vloggers who don't live in Japan. I am so impressed and happy. Every vlog has triggered wonderful memories of my time living in Japan, which is a wonderful feeling. I completely forgot about Sunshine City but I remember spending MANY weekends there spending stupid amounts of money.
Also, you mentioned wishing you could have a whole suitcase, and honestly, look into Japan Post options. Mailing things home is pretty easy. I did a quick search, and you send a 20kg box home for about 11,000円 by surface mail. It's worth looking up how much it would cost to have an extra suitcase vs sending home.
Oh my gosh this is a huge huge compliment thank you so much! Sunshine city is such a good place to venture for a rainy day! We were there alllll day and we still only covered two floors lol 😅 so many things to see and do!
ohhh also thank you so much for the tips about japan post, I should have done that and bought loads of food and shipped it over (like melon pan lol)
@@catherinekayy oh nooooo!! For some reason I thought you were on maybe a week or two delay or something. Which is ridiculous now that I think of it.
❤️🤗loved it! makes me want to visit Japan someday 😅
Hehehe I totally reccomend it 🥹🌸
AMAZING......Loved it. Can't wait for the next one xxx
Ahhh! Yayyy! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so so much for watching 🥹🌸🌸🌸
Gashapon is nice because they are cute, collectible, quirky, inexpensive and satisfies your shopping urge for cheap.
We made the mistake to go to sunshine city on a weekend and that gachapon place was fiillleeeed with people! You couldnt even see the gacha machines while walking through the aisles. It's a great spot, and if you plane on going avoid the weekends or local holidays!
There's also an amazing ramen spot in the sunshine city called Chukasoba Aoba that I highly recommend!
Anyways, great video! Sunshine city is a must and Ikebukuro has the best claw machines :3
Ohhhhh yummy! Hehehe thank you so so much for the reccomendation! This is amazing 🥹🌸🌸🌸 yes I can imagine it getting very busy on a weekend!
we use to have these as kids growing up. they were in the front of kmart here in America. they were a bit smaller and sometimes had like stickers in them or i remember one had like football helmets that i use to collect (hated football dont know why i collected them lol), spice girl stuff, and pokemon. but id turn the capsules into cat toys by putting beads into them. It's weird to me that people treat this like a new thing. they didnt look like these though it looked more like a gumball machine with that red top and metal turn knob.
Yes we had the metal ones too! The prizes were rubbish where I lived though ahaha and tiny 🤣😆 these are next level! 🥹🥹🥹 I remember getting rings in the ones in the UK!
These series is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing. Do you speak Japanese? You sound fluent. 😍 If you do, please tell us about in your next video.
Hehehe I don’t speak it unfortunately 🤣🇯🇵 I know a few sentences and words though! ✌️
Going to Japan for my second time hopefully next spring and I’m so glad I now know about this gashapon hall!! Gotta save up especially 😭💖
Hehehe I totally reccomend here! We had a fun day hehe ☺️🌸
My girlfriend and I are wanting to go to Japan sometime next year and this is only solidifying that decision LOL I love these vlogs!!
heheh this makes me so happy, im so glad your enjoying them! YOU DA BEST 🌸
I know you mentioned cosplaying, but a lot of the unique stuff you see you might also be able to snag at a con. Artists alleys have unique stuff, but vendors usually import and get stuff direct from Japan. I got a super high quality Pokémon plushies from 2 cons with Japanese tags on them. They were pricey. But it was worth it.
You might also be able to order that stuff online too!
Heheh yep! Whenever we go to cons we see a lot of this stuff 🥹🌸 (it’s normally 4x the price tho lol)
The green character is part of sanx sumiko gurashi green penguin
Catherine..the last time I watched the vlogs I ended up in Florida at Disney lol I never thought about visiting Tokyo until now 😭😭Loving these travel vlogs 💕💕
heheh oh dear! Im sorry heheh, it is a really fun place I love it here, im so so happy you enjoy the travel vlogs! YOU DA BEST 🌸
What a amazing place to visit, I had no ideal…
its so cool isnt it heheeh 😍
Looking forward to your next video. I can’t wait to find out which Disney Sea Popcorn Bucket you chose, and how you decided.
Hehehe thank you so much for watching 🥹🌸🌸🌸
Does anyone know how much the kiki bakery sign at 23:16 would cost?
Oh my gosh this is so wonderful to see thank you so much for sharing look like you guys had so much fun. And of course the Kawaii was so adorable and you are right Japan they can do great products with details colors etc.😊🥰❤️
Hehehe so happy you enjoyed it! They really do know how to do their merch right! 🥹🌸
Aww I love these episodes! And you got a lil bt21 Mang too!
So much fun! Back in the 80s I worked with Bandai America on the launch of Tiny Blessings!! Loved it!!
wow i bet that was such a fun time heheh 😍
That was such a cool vlog! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. I'm going to Japan soon and it was amazing to watch it through eyes of someone who is excited by all those wonderful things.
Oh my gosh what a huge compliment heheh thank you so much! 😍 I hope you have the best time in Japan!
Was excited... until Shaky Cam made me feel sick... please get Image Stabilisation!
ahhh sorry! It's hard for me to travel with a heavy gimbal 🌸 (also can't afford it lol)

I love living vicariously through your vlogs! Can't wait for Disney Sea ep!!
Hehehe YAYY! 🥹🌸🌸🌸

Your travel vlogs are so wonderful to watch - I’ve been suffering with anxiety and OCD recently, and I put your travel playlists on to help me calm down and bring me back to reality. Thank you for making such beautiful videos x
Wow that all looks amazing!!!! Love how happy you both are there ❤
Hehehe tysm 🥹🌸🌸🇯🇵
Incredible vacation…a real experience like no other (as you said).
Hehehe it really was a special trip! Thank you for. Watching 🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸
Please don't use your hands touching the food even if they are wrapped. It's not appropriate. No offense.
?? I’m confused 😂 did I touch food here that I didn’t eat? Lol
Japan is a magical place full of tiny toys
Omg every second of these vlogs are so exciting to watch!!
Hehehe this makes me happy! Thank you so much for watching 🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸
am i the only one that find ±2 euros per Gashapon actually expensive
Your videos are fantastic! I love your commentary
Hehe oh my gosh thank you so much 🥹🥹🌸🌸🌸
Ahhh so much fun!! Everything is so cute too, I would spend a fortune 😅.
Ohayo nice Japan trip vlog
Hehee thank you! Welcome to the channel hehe 🥹🌸
This is the most perfect 48 hours in Tokyo! I'd need a suitcase for all the cute stuff you can buy in Akihabara etc. It's been my dream to visit Japan for soooooo long. I'm glad I found your channel, your vids are amazing.
🥹🌸 oh my gosh thank you so so much ehhehe 🥹🌸
BT21 is something to do with BTS
にほんをたのしんでくれるのはうれしいけど、床に座って撮影したり汚らしい、、、
Ahhh sorry! There were no tables so we went to a quiet corner out of the way so we weren’t bothering anyone why we opened everything! ✌️🥲🌷
Amazing vlog as usual ❤
Thank you so so much 😍
Mildliners are not 60p!?!
*plots to buy them all*
heheh right?! 🌸
Hi there! I'll be in Tokyo next may as wonder, is it difficult getting from one place to another using the trains as a non Japanese speaking tourist? xx
I thought it was easy! Google maps worked really well and everything was signposted in Japanese and English! 🥹🥹🌸
@@catherinekayy ahhh thank you!! 😁💖
I remember getting lost trying to find that shopping mall
Oh nO 🤣🤣🌸 I can see how easy that would be lol 😂
the little claw machines are the worst!! i’ve never won anything from the little ones haha! and it’s so funny, i’ve been to sunshine city a million times (for the pokemon center haha) and didn’t know about the gacha garden! that’s so cool!! they’re addicting lol
heheh they are so hard to do! I managed to finally win a little kirby on one of them later in the trip lol, I dont know if I filmed it though ehhehe
Me throughout this entire video: Shut up and take my money... Shut up and take my money... SHUT UP AND- I will go someday and I will return poor with an extra suitcase.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 honestly me the whole entire trip 🤣🥲
I feel I’d come back with a suitcase full of just gachapon 😅 I used to get one every time I went toys r us when I was little!
Hehehe 😂 I can totally see how that would happen they are addictive haha 😂
I just stumbled upon your vlogs - oh my gosh you are the cutest! Really exciting vlogs, thank you for sharing your trip! Can’t wait to see the rest 💕
Oh wow thank you so so much heheh I hope you enjoy all the other vlogs hehe ⭐️⭐️
Damn, wished I could see the outcome of Deans Gachapon😜 curious about the dragonball z en maybe pokemon.
Hehehe dammit sorry! Truth be told I think he got rubbish ones 🤣 xx
Another great video going to all the places we are looking forward too!
We both agree that you need a montage of Deans 1-2 words answers from all the videos for this trip, always makes us chuckle 😊
🤣🤣🤣 hahaha he makes me laugh
with those side street bars and restaurans the only thing my brain kept saying was 'that would never be legal here' lol
🤣 thats very true Im sure health and safety would be boring and put some sort of regulation in place lol
Please do a scrapbook video when you get home :) I really want to start one I am currently trenching English in Seoul and want to start one!
Hehehe ohh thank you for the suggestion how cool your in Seoul! 🥹🥹🌸🇰🇷
It’s kinda funny how things we think as “geeky” and “nerdy” are completely normal in Japan
Hehehe that’s probably why I felt so at home here and loved it hehe 🤣🇯🇵🇯🇵☺️
awweeeeee I am sooo happy to see you enjoying yourself in sunshine city~ I remember you got a Totoro gotcha too right? I actually have a double and wondering if I can send it to you~
Heheh I do I ended up getting two! Oh my gosh that is so so kind of you 🥹🌸🌸🌸
This is were most of my money disappear hahahaha
Hehehe yep! Mine too 🤣
omg Purikura!! (the sticker machines) we used to have a bunch of those at this Japanese mall in Cali. Takes me back to high school days lol
Hehehe 🥹🥹🥹🌸 a cute throw back hehehe
Hi Catherine Have to watch later. I'm in Japan now! I'm sure I'll like the video though!
Oh thank you so much! I hope your having the best time! 🥹🌸
@catherinekayy It's my last day in Japan on to Korea tomorrow but had a great time as always in Japan. especially having a friend come along who's never been and showing him around. I'll be back next year. It may be my 6th time here but won't be my last. I hope your having another great adventure and keep those Japan vlogs coming!
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
I need longer videos, there to short lol 😂
🤣 heheh sorry sorry, these are super long ones recently too haha 🤣 I have so much content from this trip!
@@catherinekayy I think a 3 hour video should do me just fine lol 😂 just about. Can’t wait for next week.
Also I meant to add to my last comment, gashapon was created as a way for foreigners to get rid of their change before they leave! Hence why they’re at the airports and train stations.
Omg no way! This is the coolest fact ever hehe thank you for sharing this! 🥹 it definately works 🤣🤣🤣
Yay! So glad you guys had a chance to go to sunshine city!!
it was SOOO cool, I feel like I need more than one day there 🤣
@@catherinekayy Lol!
japan has more Nijntje (Miffy) merch than we have in the netherlands haha
heheh 🤣
