  • We flew to Tokyo and for our first day back we went camera shopping and bought the Canon EOS R6 Mark II! We had fun with this travel vlog exploring a bit of Tokyo while also unboxing, testing, and fumbling around with the settings on our new camera.

    Guys, while you're in Japan, I recommend going to Hiroshima and/or Nagasaki where the atomic bombings happened in WW2. It's definitely worth going learning about the tragic history. I also recommend going to the island of Okinawa. One of the blue zones where people have longer and healthier life.😊

    • @IfWeGoTo
      @IfWeGoTo  Місяць тому +5

      Thank you so much for your recommendations!! 🙏 On our last visit we were lucky enough to visit Hiroshima for a week (our hard drive corrupted and we lost the videos, so no posts about it here though). It was a very powerful place and I am so glad we went. Hopefully more people visit to learn more.
      It would be interesting to visit Nagasaki as well.
      We’re also super strongly considering Okinawa. We can’t decide if we should go in late April, or leave Japan and visit Okinawa in the summer before we leave. Is there a better time of year for it you think? Especially for the diving?
