I’m born and raised in Tokyo and have watched tons of Tokyo guides made by non-Japanese, but your content, presentation, and overall mood are the best. Please enjoy Japan, be safe and come back again.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Means a great deal to us and tells us we are doing something right. Until a few months ago, I had never used video editing software or posted anything on UA-cam, ever! We've learned a lot, but what we do know and love is all things Japanese! Josephine's unique family history provides us a deeper understanding of the culture. You can read her story on our website at www.unchartedjapan.net. Our goal is to improve the quality of video for future visitors to Japan so they have the most wonderful experience. Appreciate your comment and please share and spread the word with others so we can continue the channel! Thank you!
Thanks for watching, and hope you have a wonderful time with your son and experience in Japan! Glad to know you've found the content helpful. We enjoy sharing our knowledge of Japan, especially those places that are less known.
Thanks for watching, and its our goal to share unknown places throughout Japan, so I'm glad to hear we succeeded! More to come today with our Kyoto video, and next week from Nagoya. Always great to meet another Japan frequent traveler! You can read our story on our website at www.unchartedjapan.net.
Thanks for watching and commenting. This UA-cam thing is still very new to us, but we definitely know Japan and love sharing it with the world. Watch for our next video: Kyoto.
Thank you for your compliment. This video work and editing are all very new to us. Until a couple of months ago, I had never used editing software, so to know that the videos are of good quality, that is very encouraging. Thanks for watching and please share the channel with others as we attempt to grow so we can continue helping visitors find the undiscovered parts of Japan.
Thanks for watching! We're definitely novice video creators, but enjoying the learning process and sharing our knowledge of Japan with the world. Next stop: Kyoto!
Thanks for watching and commenting. This YT stuff is all very new, so we're slowly getting the hang of it. But what we do know is Japan, and we enjoy sharing that knowledge. Up next is Kyoto!
I really enjoyed the videography and commentary on Tokyo. Such unique and beautiful museums, architecture, and landscapes. Thank you for sharing your love of Japan with us.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, the Japanese love their museums. There are many that are very small showcase unusual subjects. Am working on a video that will include a visit to the Toto museum which chronicles that company's history of the toilet. It was pretty impressive.
Love your insider view of Tokyo and especially some of the less touristy locations. My grandson is planning his 2025 Graduation trip to Japan and I can’t wait to share your videos!
Thank you! We love discovering the hidden gems. There are a lot more than most realize. Congratulations on your son's upcoming graduation! Tokyo and Japan in general will make for an amazing experience. Next week will be about Kyoto, followed by Nagoya, one of our favorite less visited cities. Thanks for watching!
We love Japan. Josephine was born and raised there as were three generations of her family before her. We have a deep connection to Japan and the family still owns a house north of Nagano. Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is well-timed for my October visit to Tokyo, which seemed overwhelmingly scaled. Nice to know about retreats for an introvert like me! Looking forward to Kyoto!
Glad to hear it! October is a great time to be there. Check the autumn color reports for the best viewing spots for the leaf changes. The ginko and maple trees are stunning. Another hidden gem in which to relax is the terrace just above the Yaesu Central exit of Tokyo Station. As you come out the doors, look for the outdoor escalators to the right and go up. Most people don't know it exists, but there are sitting areas and a couple of restaurants. Thanks for the feedback.
Aloha! Just found your channel and enjoy it. With the over tourism crowds these days, the “hidden gems” places where you can chill are a great find. 🤫Thank you!
Yep, in some places, the crowds can be overwhelming, but there are still plenty of hidden gems if one looks for them. That's our goal: to help people find them so they'll enjoy their visit all the more. Thanks for watching!
Glad you found them helpful and I hope you'll be able to visit some of these hidden gems. We enjoy getting away from the crowds, and you can do that even in places such as Tokyo and Kyoto, but we encourage folks to get outside the big three: Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, and explore other areas. Thanks again for watching.
Thanks for watching and commenting! This UA-cam thing is very new to us, so we appreciate the compliment. Definitely put Japan on your travel bucket list.
So glad you found us and are enjoying the videos! This whole UA-cam thing is new to us so we're learning as we go, but we know Japan. Josephine's family has 163 years of history living there since 1861 which gives us a different perspective. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing the channel with others! Enjoy our Nagoya video which comes out at 9 AM eastern time today in the U.S.
Thank you for a beautiful video of Tokyo's landmarks! I had read about the 'Tokyo Cathedral', an impressive & huge-scaled system to regulate & manage floodings for Tokyo, but wasn't aware that it is open for public tours! What makes me very happy with Tokyo in particular, and Japan in general, is the harmonious co-existence of tradition & modernity -- some time within the same neighborhood. The Japanese have also realized that it is NOT enough to simply build (structures, high-speed rail system, etc.) but also to properly maintain such structures for optimal functionality!
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, the G-Cans experience is unique, and there are several tour options. Takes a little effort to get there from central Tokyo, but worth it. The website says that someone in the group must speak basic Japanese, however, they have printouts in English and we've never had the need. I have often said Japan is unique due to the ancient temples and history, yet at the same time having the most advanced rail system and architecture in the world. It is a land of contrasts. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Please share the channel with others as we're trying to grow,. Have never done any video editing or UA-cam videos until five weeks ago, but we're having fun sharing our experiences with others.
Thanks for watching and glad to meet another traveler to Japan! Its a wonderful country. The SCMAGLEV Museum is a great train museum, and just one of several in the country. The Small Worlds Museum was a real surprise for us, and we could have stayed there for several more hours.
I’m born and raised in Tokyo and have watched tons of Tokyo guides made by non-Japanese, but your content, presentation, and overall mood are the best.

The Small World Museum looks so interesting
It was a surprise. We could have stayed there a lot longer.
Have a trip to see our son in March 2025, so these videos are amazingly useful and informative!! Thanks.

I have been to Tokyo many times, but you still surprised me with a few of these. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

This is a great guide! I was just in and around Tokyo Station recently and never knew these places nearby existed.
Thanks for watching and commenting. This UA-cam thing is still very new to us, but we definitely know Japan and love sharing it with the world. Watch for our next video: Kyoto.
リポートもカメラワークも編集もお上手！ ８８８

What a beautiful video! Now I can't wait to visit Tokyo!
Thank you. There's so much to see and do in Tokyo! No way to see it all, even in a lifetime. That's one reason we keep returning. Thanks for watching!
