Love that you travel in vans in other countries…love the privacy factor as opposed to a hotel. And you see the most beautiful places being in the van!!!
Not only did you make me smile, but I almost peed my pants laughing. You two look like you're having so much fun. Be safe you two and thanks for sharing your journey.❤
Glad you are enjoying your trip. Yes, the green mochi you ate was mixed with a herb called yomogi or mugwort. The stuffing is called Anko and it’s sweetened red bean curd, often found in most mochi here. Stay safe❤
It was so lovely to wake up to a new Tal & Mads vlog this morning. Thank you for taking me on this road trip with you it looks amazing! I’m already looking forward to the next one ❤
How exciting to wake up and see a Tal and Mads video. You guys made my day! It looks like so much fun to travel Japan by van. The scenery and the food looks amazing. Your reaction over those vanilla and chocolate cookies was so cute (I want to try one). The only thing I missed was the caption option wasn't available (I am slightly hearing impaired). I bet Bowie is missing you also. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
Wow! What a difference to my journey in 1976 to Japan. I spent three month there - no handy no English speaking people, not even in Kyoto! But I had hands and feet 🤣😎 and I traveled even in remote places, mostly allone. Your adventure is not less, but very different! And Japan is really worth to be visited! Much fun!
You both are the best and I couldn’t have ask for more than being able to spend time with you guys and now it feels like old times with you renting a camper and I will say I couldn’t be more happy than to be with you guys my favorite couple and friends to experience so much more of Japan and what a wild ride it was also the joy of seeing you guys so happy fills my heart ❤️ with so much joy so thanks again for a wonderful time peace ☮️ out ✌️
You should have climbed to the top of Mount Fuji. When I was stationed in Tokyo in the late 60s, I climbed it (more like just an uphill walk, but on loose cinders) and it is a fairly easy, but exhausting walk with several rest areas along the way and is done in a day from Station 5 which is where most begin. I didn't do it, but you can also begin in the afternoon and go halfway and sleep overnight in a hut starting out early enough to be on top by sunrise.
It was a delight to see you two back out on the road. I love it when you are. Funny watching you guys swoon over the amount of space you had in the rig. I think the main thing is you're used to traveling in a van instead of an RV. I have a 1992 Toyota RV that's about a foot longer than a van and I have sooooo much more room with a full bathroom (toilet and separate shower). It's small and rides very smooth with decent gas mileage. I'm doing a tour of it on my channel next week. You might look for a small RV when you get back to Canada. It would have a steering wheel on the left and as much room as the one in this vid. Thanks for posting.
There's a fun anime called Yuru Camp which is a cosy relaxed series revolving around a group of friends and their camping club. It's set in Yamanashi prefecture (characters are from Minobu) and heavily features views of Fuji. The campsite you visited is in the first episode and everything is based on real world stuff, the chain you unhooked to go to the beach is even there as one of the characters falls over it. If anime isn't something you'd normally watch then thats fair enough, but I think you'd find it fun to see an animated version of the places you've visited :) Found your channel on the sidebar, enjoying what I've seen so far :)
Wow, the girls are back in a van...so fun. And the van was very cool; almost like a tiny home in some ways. You look like you had such a fun, relaxing time. I'm so glad you found an AP to help you out; I would be so lost. I'm looking forward to the bullet train, maybe like a Disney ride 😆 So, sending hugs love your way 🥰 Bernie ❤
I would have never thought of renting a camper while in Japan!! What a great 💡idea!😊 I love that the camper is so compact. I would freak out on the wrong side of the road....What a great video!!!❤❤ Made me smile😊😁Love you guys❤❤
Yes you can have a right facing vehicle in North America. But you need to pay attention to the glass, lights, and tires, not to mention emissions. The speedometer has to be in MPH, (US). You can import them, but depending on the year of manufacture, and company, you might have to spend money to upgrade the faults. I will add, that the info I have provided is for the US. I am not sure what our Canadian Brothers and Sisters up north need, or want as far as that goes. I can't imagine it is probably all that different. AWESOME VIDEO!
I was waiting to see if you would visit an onsen and if the tattoos were ok. Obviously they were. I have 3 kanji on my shoulder so good to see. Thanks!
Wicked a second video this week. The energiser bunny is back in full force and Tal definitely seems recharged😃 It also felt a fair bit like you were transported back into your vanlife bubble and I'm sure if you were to stay there for a longer time(got past the language barrier and got more used to the different culture) you'd get the community feel as well. Beautiful video as always. Had to laugh at the bunk bed joke, especially as I don't think either of you are particularly tall 🤣 Unless Mads is secretly 6 ft tall 😉
You two Gadabouts, continue to amaze, in Your adventures. Spent a month in Yokosuka 1973, aboard USS Trigger SS564. completion 6 month Tour. Yours looks like a whole lot more fun.❤
When I fly home to the states then back to Australia I always make sure I follow someone and make sure I’m on the inside of the road when I drive. My brain doesn’t compute🤣
You silly Thursday cookie, soft serve, Starbucks, lovers! (It's wheatgrass, that you were looking for.) You are cracking me up! OF COURSE I'd travel Japan by van! I might even skip Tokyo in favor of the spots you found in this episode. They feel more like my speed.
Magnifique voyage. Le Japon est un très beau pays. Votre camping car est petit tout en étant grand. Amusez-vous bien les filles. Bisous de France 🇫🇷 👍👍👏👏😘
Yes, it is legal to drive a right hand drive vehicle in North America. I live in Washington and I see gray marketed Japanese domestic vehicles all the time. They are legal to import if they are more than 25 years old. The little mini trucks are getting very popular.
There is a place in the USA that imports Japanese campers of all different sizes and yes you can drive right hand drives in your country cos Canada is cool apart from the winter when parts are freezing (HA HA)
So fun watching you guys explore Japan! I am in California but just got back from Portugal and persimmons were in season both places! The best fruit ever!! ❤ BTW, I seen one of these Japanese vans for sale in the Bay Area a few months ago and your allowed to drive with seat on the other side.
Great video. I think I'd have a hard time driving there. I've drove a work truck for 25years that has right hand drive and I drive on the right. I'm a postal carrier in USA.
I lived in Japan for 2 years many years ago. If you want to do a winter trip, plan to go to Hokkaido. Lots of skiing and you can hangout at the Sapporo brewery. In the grocery stores you can get little dried fish that they eat as snacks. I found it a bit odd.
Amazing!! Hokkaido is definitely on our list for the next time we make it to Japan. So fun you had the chance to live there for two years. Thanks for watching!
So much fun, lovely sisterwomen… I have to tell you that it was definitely a leek that you bought. The translation of things isn’t always exact. I’m sure you figured it out when you cooked with it 🙂
So when you get back to the states I bet you both will be at the Asian market to get what you bought! I know I did when I came back to the states! That was over 20yrs ago! Lol.. I go to HMart or Lotte here in Maryland for my snack fix! Lol
HEY! It's Thursday and we have a new vlog! We just couldn't wait until Sunday for this one. What do you think? Would you travel this way in Japan??

Not only did you make me smile, but I almost peed my pants laughing. You two look like you're having so much fun. Be safe you two and thanks for sharing your journey.❤
Glad you are enjoying your trip. Yes, the green mochi you ate was mixed with a herb called yomogi or mugwort. The stuffing is called Anko and it’s sweetened red bean curd, often found in most mochi here.
Stay safe❤
Just watched your video!! Japan looks amazing, no wonder you are having a ball. Keep safe and well and keep the vids coming. From Scotland.
I spent 4yrs in Japan and this brought back so many memories. I miss all the vending machines and the coffee

Great vid! Safe travels and... you two always make me smile! 😉🧡💛
My dad used to be a rural postal worker in California. He bought an old right hand drive vehicle for his route. So, sure, it's not a problem.
Wow! Fantastic trip. Love that RV/VAN/CAMPER!
That definitely put japan in a camper van on my bucket list! Thanks ladies! ✌️ ❤
We're so glad to hear that! Maybe we'll see you on the road one day! Thanks for watching 🫶🏻

Loved it. A van trip in Japan is amazing. The perspective of your video gave a feel good almost felt experience.

Loved your hair style in morning Tal! Not sure about Canada but I'm fairly sure right hand drive is Ok in the US. You two always make me smile.
That was awesome.....but! There seemed to be a severe lack of 'Twice the Garlic' in this episode 😛
I love the camper you were in, it's so compact and cute. I miss Bowie too. Great video this week gals♥
Right?? It was amazing! Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank You Guys You Did Make Me SMILE 😊

Wow, the girls are back in a van...so fun. And the van was very cool; almost like a tiny home in some ways. You look like you had such a fun, relaxing time. I'm so glad you found an AP to help you out; I would be so lost. I'm looking forward to the bullet train, maybe like a Disney ride 😆 So, sending hugs love your way 🥰 Bernie ❤
Thanks for the video! You both are so much fun to watch! Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊 thanks for watching!
Oh my, what an awesome surprise!! I'm loving your Japan trip and its really inspiring me to book my own!!!
Yay!!! So happy you are loving it! Thanks for being here ❤️
I am totally digging that RV!! I would buy something that size here in the US.
I would have never thought of renting a camper while in Japan!! What a great 💡idea!😊 I love that the camper is so compact. I would freak out on the wrong side of the road....What a great video!!!❤❤
Made me smile😊😁Love you guys❤❤
Thank you!! It was definitely a great way to experience some of the country - and we are totally in love with the camper. Love you back!

Yep, the smile streak goes on! 😊😊❤❤
Love it!! Thanks for watching!
Wheat grass. Also Mochi is like ice cream in a dough covering.
I was waiting to see if you would visit an onsen and if the tattoos were ok. Obviously they were. I have 3 kanji on my shoulder so good to see. Thanks!

Fantastic video! Loved every minute! Keep ‘‘em coming. Love your adventures
We're so glad you enjoyed it! More adventures coming soon! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
You two Gadabouts, continue to amaze, in Your adventures. Spent a month in Yokosuka 1973, aboard USS Trigger SS564. completion 6 month Tour. Yours looks like a whole lot more fun.❤
Awesome adventure Ladies have a blast and stay safe, an ya driving there would probably mess me up as well lol . Love your vids.
Exciting trip, nice little car and good company ❤️❤️
That shopping bag was like Mary Poppins' bag lol it was deceptively large!
You can import the RVs after 25 years. So you can get late 90s versions now!
When I fly home to the states then back to Australia I always make sure I follow someone and make sure I’m on the inside of the road when I drive. My brain doesn’t compute🤣
You silly Thursday cookie, soft serve, Starbucks, lovers! (It's wheatgrass, that you were looking for.) You are cracking me up! OF COURSE I'd travel Japan by van! I might even skip Tokyo in favor of the spots you found in this episode. They feel more like my speed.

Aussie here, we drive on the left. Now you know how i feel when you film, while driving...i freak out every time 😂
Hahaha yes totally confusing! Thanks for watching :)
If you're still in Japan, try the Shirataki noodles. Super good for us. But wash them really well first.
Mid-week post. Way cool. Do not know what Billie is thinking about that 'other' camper. 8:51
Yes, it is legal to drive a right hand drive vehicle in North America. I live in Washington and I see gray marketed Japanese domestic vehicles all the time. They are legal to import if they are more than 25 years old. The little mini trucks are getting very popular.
If Toyota sold these campers in the US I would so totally buy one. Left hand drive of course.
Thank you for sharing, great vlog. Magic music.
I loved the tour, and this video…❤❤
Thank you so much!!
There is a place in the USA that imports Japanese campers of all different sizes and yes you can drive right hand drives in your country cos Canada is cool apart from the winter when parts are freezing (HA HA)
Enjoy these freedoms cause as you age all this becomes difficult!😂❤
