Hello from Japan! 🇯🇵✌This is a sneak peek of what's to come in our Japan series, but we're posting videos a couple of weeks behind here on UA-cam. For real-time, daily updates (and to DM us recommendations, please!), give us a follow over on Instagram: @awaywithhays
18:42 You should not do that. There was an American guy who was sued for that. If somebody sees this video and reports to this shop, they are going to have to close the shop to sanitize the conveyer belt. The guy was charged for that. I advise you to take this video off and take that part out to reload it. This is not a joke.
Wow! You guys in Japan!!! I’m so excited to watch you Japan series. Osaka looks like a bustling city. Glad you have a few more Korea vlogs left.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm eagerly waiting for your next Japan vlog. Japan has so much to offer to tourists and their convenience store bento is sooo good yet cheap. Hope you have a great time and be safe.^^
It is always so nice and refreshing to see you discovering a new country with such excitement and joy! Hays is always so adorable! He seems to be more concentrated and interested to understand what is going on around him. Osaka is famous for its gastronomy so you will certainly enjoy food there! You guys are very lucky for the exchange rate is very interesting now. I think it is the perfect time to visit Japan. Have great time in Osaka!!
Oh the way of returning the plates looks smart. I’m learning new things through your journey. Thank you and I’ll look forward to your next videos. Safe travels ~😊
This family speaks many languages woah~ I see sensitive comments but I think actually everyone just wants this family happy and healthy in conclusion. Please enjoy yourselves~~ I love you
This is just a teaser! Back to Korea next week, but excited to start sharing this in a few weeks time. :) Enjoy Seoul for us! We miss it SO much already.
Thanks, Cynthia! We can't wait to share more in a few weeks! Please subscribe if you want to stay tuned, as we'll be posting Korea videos in between, but then back to Japan. (Confusing-- but I wanted to get this out in a timely manner given the recent reopening!)
Steph & Pete and Hays you are always welcome to Korea any time! Thanks for all the wonderful content you created! They are so enjoyable and great! Also, I love Japan and the Japanese people, Happy that you are visiting there-we are so close! Very Warm Greetings from Seoul! Cannot wait for your next videos of Japan!😃
Thanks, Mina! We will definitely be back in Korea! I don't know when...last time we only managed to stay away for 2.5 months. This time I think it will unfortunately be longer, but that won't be the last of us. It's fun to be so close, but somewhere so different! It's even more different than we expected. We appreciate you following along, always.
I'm a Japanese high school student! I'm studying English! Welcome to Japan!! I don't think understand everything this video's English meaning, but you look so happy!!So,I felt happy too!!
Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your video is so nice journey video! Awesome! Have a nice day my friend !
So happy u guys finally able to visit our fav holiday place beside Korea! This reminds me the first time we go there with my oldest when he's same age as Hayes (he's a teen now) and make him obsessed with Japan until now.
Don’t have time to watch right now but gonna like and comment anyway. I know I will be living vicariously thru you. We have been waiting to go to Japan for three years.
Amazing vlog Please keep comparing Japan to Korea and your initial thoughts Its so refreshing and interesting I have tickets booked for japan and never been so I'm very curious Greetings from korea 🇰🇷 💕 ❤️
I'm glad to hear you're curious! I can sense from the comments that it can be a tense relationship. I'm reluctant to compare the two, as they are so different. Actually, they're even more different than I imagined! But we are enjoying both. Korea will always be very special to us though. I hope you have a great trip here!
@@StephandPete yes the relationships is tense because of their history But so glad to hear the differences Its so interesting and entertaining Even the bad (like the smoking smell) is interesting Can't wait for the next Japanese vlog
I love it that Hays asks, "Where's our new home?" He might one day ask, "Why are we staying here so long?!" lol That Kura Sushi looks way cool!! Freaken beer served to you on a conveyor belt! Love it!
Yay!! Great video! We’re heading to Tokyo in about 10 days! Been waiting for over 2 years for this day 🎉 Did the SOS app remain yellow for the one of you that had Hays on their app? I have all three girls on mine and it’s yellow. But Lindsay’s is Blue. Thanks for the great info!
So exciting!!! Have the best time! Yes- it was yellow for mine (with Hays attached) but we didn’t have any problems! They were so kind and efficient. Even took my phone to connect it to the free Wi-Fi to access the QR code. Enjoy!!
Japan! So exciting! Yes there are a lot of bikes….I lived in Tokyo for a year and was so excited to ride a bike around, so I got one and then accidentally kept crashing into poles. My point is that the locals make it look much easier than it is. Looking forward to reliving memories! I love the bathtubs too and the wooden cups of sake bartenders always overfill and basically every single food item, except takoyaki.
Exactly! It’s hard to synchronize bike riding with the flow of pedestrian traffic so to avoid hitting people, I ended up swerving and hitting poles. But anyway agreed on bike riding cities, wish NYC was more like Tokyo that way.
You started to say "kamsahanida", then caught yourself immediately, hahaha. You K trip was so awesome to watch and we shall be looking forward to you Japan experiences. Have lots of fun and be safe.
This always happens during our first few days in a country! You'd think we'd learn. Our Japanese friends gave Hays some gifts yesterday and he did the same thing, haha.
yep, google maps and a suice/pasmo card makes the train system 1000% easier. Always fun to experience other peoples excitement going to japan for the first time or in a long time.
Gosh! I have never been to japan even though korea is so close to them! Can’t wait to explore japan online thanks to you guys!! Have an amazing and safe trip there :)
Steph, I really liked this more stream-of-conscious vlog!! It feels even more real and authentic, and I really like that about you guys 😊A great first impressions video of Japan, too. Osaka feels so refreshingly different. Hope you guys are having a ton of fun in a new country. Will you be interlacing Japan videos with Korea ones, or finish out the Korea series first and then return to Japan? (really no pressure in getting out Korea vlogs btw, we loyal fans can wait!) I'm sorry to hear that you're losing a few subscribers, but I'm sure you will gain new ones as well. I'm always supporting you guys and can't wait to see more and virtually travel with you guys. Sending you many hugs and good vibes! ❤
Thanks as always, Bethany! I was hoping to make a more organized video but with the travel day, got a bit lazy/overwhelmed! Glad you still enjoyed it! Back to Korea to finish it up after this but didn’t want to miss an opportunity to show folks headed to Japan what it’s like and knew this could be timely. And no worries about the subscribers! You’re right and we love growing a small group of new friends like yourself! ☺️
Welcome to Japan😄And welcome to Osaka👍You went to Namba❗️Is the conveyor belt sushi delicious?I want you to eat ramen and okonomiyaki too👍Have a nice trip🙌
Hey thanks for the comment and warm welcome! we loved conveyor belt sushi and ate it more than once! we also had okonomiyaki. That will be in some upcoming videos on our time in Osaka!
So glad you guys made it safely! Korea and Japan is very different even though they are so close but that also means you can find a lot of korean food there just like you guys ate japanese food in Korea. Curious to see how kfood tastes in Japan.
On your last reel at Osaka with Hays riding his scooter you can see a Korean restaurant: it is written Korean restaurant in Japanese and in Korean 😂 He is so cute on his scooter by the way❤
I love how like the literally second japan opens you're like YEET Also love how you gravitate STRAIGHT to the sushi on the first day haha xD You'll have to let me know if its really better than Korea! and I wonder how the price compares too!! There is a sterotype that Japan is more expensive than Korea but I'd be interested to know what you think after you've had the time to find out
Hey... pete here :) sorry for the late reply!! we had been waiting so long for Japan to open, so we were straight on it. We found prices pretty similar to be honest, transportation is higher in Japan, but we found some really affordable food/restaurants. We had a blast and really hope you get to go and visit at some point.
looking forward if and when you guys are up against tokyo's train map. :D incredibly overwhelming but manageable. Google Maps is what saved me initially. I can't wait to go back to Japan! Looking forward for more vlogs!
Ah, hi there!! Glad to see you're still packing in the trips as well! Amazing. We're going to be on the road until at least 2023 by the looks of it. We're so lucky! (But will need to figure out a longer-term plan in the new year...hehe)
At Kura sushi, you don't get a prize every time you put in 5 plates, it's similar to a lottery, you might win a prize, but you might not get one too. If Hays likes Legos, there's a Legoland in Nagoya not too far from Osaka. Enjoy Japan!
Damn I am Korean and been waiting for them to reopen but now I am too busy to visit the nearest neighborhood!!! Life is all about timing. Enjoy your moments!
We're lucky to have time and flexibility on our side this year! Our timing hasn't made a lot of sense (Vietnam in June?!) but, it worked out on this one!!! Thanks for watching! We're losing tons of subscribers and getting lots of thumbs down today, hehe. 😏
This is why many people in Japan (including foreign residents) are not happy that Japan is open for tourists again. The quiet and peace before was amazing. Now it’s gone in Kyoto
Thanks to you guys now I know Japan is open again, like for real! TYSM! I plan to go to Osaka in 2023. Also, I shared the same experience with trains in Japan when I went a couple times while I stayed in Korea. Tbh, I think it's a nightmare setup and not as tourist-friendly. I found the train system in Korea refreshing to go back to which I find to be more streamlined and logical, and there are big signs in English and other languages.😅Still, Japan imo is a must to have in a travel bucket list!
Hey there! Thanks for watching! I hope you have an amazing trip next year. And yeah-- I knew Japan was known for trains but didn't think about how complicated they'd be (or just how good we had it in Korea!) Korea was certainly more intuitive. Still wild to me that for both you need cash! We've needed cash for much more here in general. Excited to be here and explore more! More Japan videos coming in a couple of weeks, but first we're going to finish up our Korea series. Did you find us through this video or have you been watching awhile?
You guys are amazing what a beautiful family am sending positivity and love from London .am flying to Tokyo dec .my partner is there last time I was there was October 2019
If the time is enough, I wish to see Tokyo to Okinawa and other small towns of Japan. Also, their dessert culture is amazing. How about some sweet themed mukbang contents? 😋 Cause that was what I wanted to try when I visit Japan. Ahh If I finish my shop interior and as soon as my business starts to work smoothly, I will run to Tokyo from Seoul!!!!! Gotta spend all my KWD for 스위츠 of Japan. I dunno how to write Japanese but they use sweets to call pastries and desserts so on. Envy you guys. I wish to have a partner who can travel whole world with me and adorable baby 💓
Sweet themed mukbang content coming soon! Pete here, I have already had a custard puff from the convince store ✔️Rikuros Cheesecake (so delicious)✔️ and some homemade sesame ice cream✔️. Just getting started.
So excited to see you in Japan! Always keep your love for Korea. But enjoy Japan, too! Looking forward to seeing your comparisons. The two countries are so similar, yet so different in many ways.
It will be hard to top Korea. We’ve only been here two days, and we love it, but…we REALLY love Korea. 🙃 And so far, they’re even more different than we expected!
We’ll be in those cities soon! Our UA-cam is not in real time. But our Instagram is! Follow us over there if you’d like to see where we are currently: @awaywithhays
@@StephandPete after using up the loads on your icoca cards you can just go to a station in Osaka and get your 500 yen deposits back. Then you can set up your ic cards in Apple Pay :)
Japan is one of the most beautiful country (people, food, culture, etc.) and I really hope you guys enjoy your stay. With that said....get ready for sensory overload because Japan is in a whole different! Hahaha. I'm so excited what this Japan adventure has in store for all of us to enjoy and I can't wait for all your future videos!
Sensory overload can be quite fun for a small child! Hays has been doing lots of walking here and not getting bored because there's always something to look at! Thanks for watching!
日本に来てくれてありがとう！ Thank you for coming to Japan! I am 16 years old, but I want to go abroad soon. So I'm studying English by watching your video. English is so difficult for me😭😭😭😭
Starting in Osaka is definitely the strat in my opinion! I always recommend this to friends and family, especially if the plan is to fly out of Tokyo. It saves you the 3-hr bullet train trip having to return to Tokyo if you start there and you can totally spend that time more productively! Flight prices are similar if not higher by a few dollars. On top of that I feel like the general population always talk about Tokyo so why not just save it for the end, right? All the friends/fam that I shared this info with ended up appreciating Osaka and Kyoto more than Tokyo :) Don't get me wrong - Tokyo is still nice but it's always the first place that comes to mind so why not give the other region/cities some love too
Nice! We started here as we originally planned to fly to India after Japan and figured Tokyo would be a better airport for leaving. Plus, direct from Seoul to Osaka is easy. It looks like we'll have a stop in between Japan and India, but it should still work well. Also, I spent 6 weeks in Osaka in 2004 but was young and didn't see much, so I was excited to come back and check out somewhere sort of familiar. We're excited to see Tokyo, but agree that starting this way makes most sense for us! We have 11 days here so can ease into it, travel slowly, and have time for planning some of the rest of our trip (we're last minute planners these days.) Thanks for watching our video!
Same exact kura sushi restaurant in the usa. The belt sushi in houston, texas. Looks like they are a huge chain cause its all over the united states too
Hello! I'm Park Jae Kyun who did 320kg squat! I gave him a chocolate pie because he was so cute! It was so nice to meet you! I was surprised that you said you were a UA-camr! I think his parents are stronger than me! Always have a good day! 안녕하세요! 저는 320kg 스쿼트를 한 박재균 입니다! 아이가 너무너무 귀여워서 초코파이를 드렸습니다! 만나서 너무 방가웠습니다! 유튜버라고 하셔서 놀랐습니다! 저보다 아이의 부모님이 더 강하신거 같아요! 항상 좋은 하루 되세요!
I have no idea.. do you know why that 😕 bell is keep ringing? It is so noisy lol.... Because i never been to Japan . but, still qurious about unknown place of the world!
Hi Helen, Pete here I was wondering the same thing when I was on the train. We had to wait a long time at the station and it was ringing the whole time. Maybe a standard thing I’m not sure.

I'm eagerly waiting for your next Japan vlog. Japan has so much to offer to tourists and their convenience store bento is sooo good yet cheap. Hope you have a great time and be safe.^^
I had convenience store bento for lunch just now. :) Thanks for following along. We'll start posting Japan videos in about a week, I think.
大阪に住んでる者です。楽しんで貰えたようで嬉しいです❤
We loved it! Now we’ve been to both Osaka and Tokyo but I think we prefer Osaka. :)
It is always so nice and refreshing to see you discovering a new country with such excitement and joy! Hays is always so adorable!
He seems to be more concentrated and interested to understand what is going on around him.

Thanks, Jumi! The food here is wonderful! Just like Korea...and France, for that matter! :)

Nice!
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan.
I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your video is so nice journey video!
Awesome!
Have a nice day my friend !
Thank you for watching!
So happy u guys finally able to visit our fav holiday place beside Korea! This reminds me the first time we go there with my oldest when he's same age as Hayes (he's a teen now) and make him obsessed with Japan until now.
It's so crazy to think how these trips could be shaping his interests as he gets older! Wow! Thanks for watching.
Don’t have time to watch right now but gonna like and comment anyway. I know I will be living vicariously thru you. We have been waiting to go to Japan for three years.
That’s a lovely thing to do! Thanks, Lief!
Amazing vlog
Please keep comparing Japan to Korea and your initial thoughts
Its so refreshing and interesting
I have tickets booked for japan and never been so I'm very curious
Greetings from korea 🇰🇷 💕 ❤️
I'm glad to hear you're curious! I can sense from the comments that it can be a tense relationship. I'm reluctant to compare the two, as they are so different. Actually, they're even more different than I imagined! But we are enjoying both. Korea will always be very special to us though. I hope you have a great trip here!
@@StephandPete yes the relationships is tense because of their history
But so glad to hear the differences
Its so interesting and entertaining
Even the bad (like the smoking smell) is interesting
Can't wait for the next Japanese vlog
@@StephandPete yeah it's not a good idea to compare the two..lol..quick way to piss off both sides who arent fond of each other lmao
@@slee2695 Understood!
Do you need to bring a toddler car seat if you're planning to travel on the trains only? Not sure if we should bring one for our daughter
Personal preference for sure! We have one since we've been traveling 18 months.
I love it that Hays asks, "Where's our new home?" He might one day ask, "Why are we staying here so long?!" lol That Kura Sushi looks way cool!! Freaken beer served to you on a conveyor belt! Love it!
hahaha like just this morning as we passed a grocery and he had a lot of questions about why people grocery shop? 😂
Yay!! Great video! We’re heading to Tokyo in about 10 days! Been waiting for over 2 years for this day 🎉
Did the SOS app remain yellow for the one of you that had Hays on their app?
I have all three girls on mine and it’s yellow. But Lindsay’s is Blue.
Thanks for the great info!
So exciting!!! Have the best time! Yes- it was yellow for mine (with Hays attached) but we didn’t have any problems! They were so kind and efficient. Even took my phone to connect it to the free Wi-Fi to access the QR code. Enjoy!!
Awesome video much needed 1st hand info. I will be headed to Japan next month. Thank you!
Have an amazing trip! Hopefully we’ll start posting the rest before you visit! We’ve got loads on the way.
Japan! So exciting! Yes there are a lot of bikes….I lived in Tokyo for a year and was so excited to ride a bike around, so I got one and then accidentally kept crashing into poles. My point is that the locals make it look much easier than it is. Looking forward to reliving memories! I love the bathtubs too and the wooden cups of sake bartenders always overfill and basically every single food item, except takoyaki.
So great to see so many people on bikes and we have had to dodge out the way a couple of times. As you’ll see in a future video :)
Exactly! It’s hard to synchronize bike riding with the flow of pedestrian traffic so to avoid hitting people, I ended up swerving and hitting poles. But anyway agreed on bike riding cities, wish NYC was more like Tokyo that way.
im also planning to visit japan !! so excited about ur upcoming videos
Great!! Glad to have you following along!
Lucky you guys to be in Japan so soon after it re-opened. I so want to go to Japan. Soon!
I hope you get to a soon!!
You started to say "kamsahanida", then caught yourself immediately, hahaha. You K trip was so awesome to watch and we shall be looking forward to you Japan experiences. Have lots of fun and be safe.
This always happens during our first few days in a country! You'd think we'd learn. Our Japanese friends gave Hays some gifts yesterday and he did the same thing, haha.
여전히 에너지 넘치고 유쾌한 가족들^^, 그곳 일본에서도 즐겁고 행복한 여행되시길 바랍니다.
Thanks for watching!
I am glad you had a great time in Korea and am excited about your new adventure in new country. Have fun and stay safe!! 다음에 또 만나요.
Thank you for watching. we still have plenty of Korea videos coming soon..
Nice!
I study English now.
I want to travel abroad!
Enjoy Japan!🇯🇵
Thanks for watching and all the best for learning english!
yep, google maps and a suice/pasmo card makes the train system 1000% easier. Always fun to experience other peoples excitement going to japan for the first time or in a long time.
Got an Icoca yesterday! Way easier! But those tiny paper tickets are kind of fun.
Gosh! I have never been to japan even though korea is so close to them! Can’t wait to explore japan online thanks to you guys!! Have an amazing and safe trip there :)
Thanks for following along, Summer!

He is so cute on his scooter by the way❤
Thank you for coming Japan!
Thanks for watching!
18:48 Did he say "kawai?"
SUPER CUTE🥹❤️🔥
hehe I think he was saying something about the camera but that would have been cool! So far he just knows “arigato” and “oishi”
I love how like the literally second japan opens you're like YEET
Also love how you gravitate STRAIGHT to the sushi on the first day haha xD You'll have to let me know if its really better than Korea! and I wonder how the price compares too!!

Have fun in japan! Is hays healed? He looks okay...
Yes!! He has a scar, but I think it will continue to fade. It's not so bad. Thanks for asking! And for watching this video.
You finally arrived in Japan.
Have a great travel in the cities.
Thank you!
looking forward if and when you guys are up against tokyo's train map. :D incredibly overwhelming but manageable. Google Maps is what saved me initially. I can't wait to go back to Japan! Looking forward for more vlogs!
Thanks, Ken! It is nice to have Google Maps again. I grew to I’ve Naver but Google Mapa is certainly easier for me as an English speaker. :)
We leave in the morning! Had our tickets since feb 2020. Multiple failed trips but we are finally making it!
That’s so exciting, Amelia! Have the BEST time!
HI, loved the video! I recommend coming to Okinawa someday! If you have a few days and you need a break from the city come to Okinawa!
Thank you for watching and for the recommendation!
So exciting, you’re in Japan!
We’re excited to be here!
Great bonding walking around in the beautiful place thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, Jef!
Great video. From japan
Thanks for watching!
Hey. Glad to see that you guys are still on the road and enjoying it! I just got back from Costa Rica yesterday and we are off to Cancun tomorrow.
Ah, hi there!! Glad to see you're still packing in the trips as well! Amazing. We're going to be on the road until at least 2023 by the looks of it. We're so lucky! (But will need to figure out a longer-term plan in the new year...hehe)
Enjoyed your first outing in Osaka. Looking forward to your Japan travels. Pete is very funny.
Thanks, Liz!
Your Arigato Gozaimashita sounds perfect!!
Thank you!
At Kura sushi, you don't get a prize every time you put in 5 plates, it's similar to a lottery, you might win a prize, but you might not get one too. If Hays likes Legos, there's a Legoland in Nagoya not too far from Osaka. Enjoy Japan!
Ahhh now we know! Hays was lucky!
Oh I can’t wait to see your travel Vlog to Japan. My next destination hopefully next year after Philippines. Safe travels and enjoy
Thanks, Suzie! We can't wait to show more in a few weeks, but we also have to wrap up our Korea series. Thanks for following along!
오전 업로드네요 ! 재밌게 잘보고 갑니다 😊
Thanks for watching
Coool video yeah! Loving the sushi joint. Try an onsen!
We’d love to try an onsen! Thanks for watching.
I will keep following your videos. Travel safe! ❤️
Thanks, Danielle! That means a lot!

The first train you took was the oldest train in Japan!
Wow, cool!
I am glad you are enjoying your trip. But why continue to talk on the train after reading and acknowledging the sign? Just rubbed me the wrong way
This is why many people in Japan (including foreign residents) are not happy that Japan is open for tourists again. The quiet and peace before was amazing. Now it’s gone in Kyoto
I think it's ok. The train didn't seem so crowded and they were wearing a mask.
日本に来てくださり日本人としてとても嬉しいです♪楽しめましたか？😊
We had a great trip! Thank you for watching!
Do you go to Umeda, Tennoji, or Universal Studios in Osaka? In addition to Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, and Nara are also recommended.
Thanks for the recommendations, not sure we are going to do universal studios, but we are going to visit Kyoto, Nara & Tokyo 🗼
Thanks to you guys now I know Japan is open again, like for real! TYSM! I plan to go to Osaka in 2023. Also, I shared the same experience with trains in Japan when I went a couple times while I stayed in Korea. Tbh, I think it's a nightmare setup and not as tourist-friendly. I found the train system in Korea refreshing to go back to which I find to be more streamlined and logical, and there are big signs in English and other languages.😅Still, Japan imo is a must to have in a travel bucket list!
Hey there! Thanks for watching! I hope you have an amazing trip next year. And yeah-- I knew Japan was known for trains but didn't think about how complicated they'd be (or just how good we had it in Korea!) Korea was certainly more intuitive. Still wild to me that for both you need cash! We've needed cash for much more here in general. Excited to be here and explore more! More Japan videos coming in a couple of weeks, but first we're going to finish up our Korea series. Did you find us through this video or have you been watching awhile?
happy for you guys 😘
Thanks, Lin!
I'm so bummed no more Kvlogs... thanks for taking me around Korea!!!
We have several more! Just took a short break to post our arrival to Japan in real time.
FYI all transport systems in Japan are non smoking
Of course. I didn’t imply they could smoke inside them- simply that it smells of stale smoke from people’s clothing.
Will visit, Thanks for sharing
Enjoy!
Where you got the vaccination booklet that you showed at 2:33?
It’s just a cover that we ordered on Amazon in September of 2021 to carry our CDC cards. We love it!
You guys are amazing what a beautiful family am sending positivity and love from London .am flying to Tokyo dec .my partner is there last time I was there was October 2019
Have a wonderful trip!
日本にようこそ。日本に美味しい物がいっぱいあります。エンジョイして思い出作って下さい。🍣🍛🍜🍝🍚🍗🍤🍱
Thank you!
If the time is enough, I wish to see Tokyo to Okinawa and other small towns of Japan. Also, their dessert culture is amazing. How about some sweet themed mukbang contents? 😋 Cause that was what I wanted to try when I visit Japan. Ahh If I finish my shop interior and as soon as my business starts to work smoothly, I will run to Tokyo from Seoul!!!!! Gotta spend all my KWD for 스위츠 of Japan. I dunno how to write Japanese but they use sweets to call pastries and desserts so on. Envy you guys. I wish to have a partner who can travel whole world with me and adorable baby 💓
I like mukbang contents too！ And I wish you success in your business♪😉✨✨✨
@@パワー-z1m Thank you so much! You are so 🍰SWEET🍰💗🥰
Sweet themed mukbang content coming soon! Pete here, I have already had a custard puff from the convince store ✔️Rikuros Cheesecake (so delicious)✔️ and some homemade sesame ice cream✔️. Just getting started.
So excited to see you in Japan! Always keep your love for Korea. But enjoy Japan, too! Looking forward to seeing your comparisons. The two countries are so similar, yet so different in many ways.
It will be hard to top Korea. We’ve only been here two days, and we love it, but…we REALLY love Korea. 🙃 And so far, they’re even more different than we expected!
Love the video. What song did you guys use for intro ?
It’s the first one linked in the description box (by HOAX.)
Haven't you been to Tokyo and Kyoto?
We’ll be in those cities soon! Our UA-cam is not in real time. But our Instagram is! Follow us over there if you’d like to see where we are currently: @awaywithhays
@@StephandPete 👍
If you have iPhones you can just add either a Pasmo or Suica card on Apple Pay and top it up using your bank card in your Apple wallet.
Ahhhh we should have done this! We got icoca cards yestefay
@@StephandPete after using up the loads on your icoca cards you can just go to a station in Osaka and get your 500 yen deposits back. Then you can set up your ic cards in Apple Pay :)
@@StephandPete cool! Unfortunately ICOCA is issued by Japan west rail company. but they dont support you to use it on apple pay :((((
Noted!
You guys should go to train rail sushi for the baby 🚆!!
Oh wow he'd LOVE that. Now whenever it's time to eat he wants to go "to the restaurant where it comes on its own."
Japan is one of the most beautiful country (people, food, culture, etc.) and I really hope you guys enjoy your stay. With that said....get ready for sensory overload because Japan is in a whole different! Hahaha. I'm so excited what this Japan adventure has in store for all of us to enjoy and I can't wait for all your future videos!
Sensory overload can be quite fun for a small child! Hays has been doing lots of walking here and not getting bored because there's always something to look at! Thanks for watching!
日本に来てくれてありがとう！
Thank you for coming to Japan!
I am 16 years old, but I want to go abroad soon. So I'm studying English by watching your video.
English is so difficult for me😭😭😭😭
Thanks for watching! enjoy learning english... and I would suggest learning British english :) pete here!
日本へようこそ〜✨
Thanks so much!
7:27 well then you are in a big treat for Tokyo then 😂
lolol
15:58 gamsahamnida haha lmfao
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Good bye! Have a good time in Japan. :) By the way, somehow you guys look way younger(about 10 years) than a month ago. ^^
Korea does that to you 😂
Haha really!? God bless, Korea, in that case. We did actually feel our healthiest there.
Starting in Osaka is definitely the strat in my opinion! I always recommend this to friends and family, especially if the plan is to fly out of Tokyo. It saves you the 3-hr bullet train trip having to return to Tokyo if you start there and you can totally spend that time more productively! Flight prices are similar if not higher by a few dollars. On top of that I feel like the general population always talk about Tokyo so why not just save it for the end, right? All the friends/fam that I shared this info with ended up appreciating Osaka and Kyoto more than Tokyo :) Don't get me wrong - Tokyo is still nice but it's always the first place that comes to mind so why not give the other region/cities some love too
Nice! We started here as we originally planned to fly to India after Japan and figured Tokyo would be a better airport for leaving. Plus, direct from Seoul to Osaka is easy. It looks like we'll have a stop in between Japan and India, but it should still work well. Also, I spent 6 weeks in Osaka in 2004 but was young and didn't see much, so I was excited to come back and check out somewhere sort of familiar. We're excited to see Tokyo, but agree that starting this way makes most sense for us! We have 11 days here so can ease into it, travel slowly, and have time for planning some of the rest of our trip (we're last minute planners these days.) Thanks for watching our video!
Are you coming back to Korea again from Japan?
Not immediately but definitely someday!
Same exact kura sushi restaurant in the usa. The belt sushi in houston, texas. Looks like they are a huge chain cause its all over the united states too
Oh that's funny, I didn't realize they were in the US as well.
Hello! I'm Park Jae Kyun who did 320kg squat! I gave him a chocolate pie because he was so cute! It was so nice to meet you! I was surprised that you said you were a UA-camr! I think his parents are stronger than me! Always have a good day!
안녕하세요! 저는 320kg 스쿼트를 한 박재균 입니다! 아이가 너무너무 귀여워서 초코파이를 드렸습니다! 만나서 너무 방가웠습니다! 유튜버라고 하셔서 놀랐습니다! 저보다 아이의 부모님이 더 강하신거 같아요! 항상 좋은 하루 되세요!
So nice to meet you! Thank you for saying hi!!
日本のスーパーは品数も豊富で、お惣菜もあって安いでしょ？いっぱい日本のものを食べてください。特に気に入ったものを教えてください。
We’re still discovering! Sushi will always be my favorite though. 🍣
일본편 재밌게 잘봤습니다. 저도 일본 가보고싶네용!
Guess its a good time to be an American tourist.. USD is pretty strong all over the world now, even with inflation
It is! And a good time to not be in America, as well. ;)
Inflation in Japan is only 3% compared to almost 10% in America.
@@Mwoods2272 That maybe, but the USD has gotten stronger, due to higher interest rates. Check exchange ratio
Have a great time in Japan!
Thank you! ☺️
일본여행도 즐겁고 건강하게 보내시고 귀여운 헤이즈 계속 볼수 있게 영상 올려주시면 감사하겠습니다^^♥😊😉😘♥

ようこそ日本に！
Thanks!!
I have no idea.. do you know why that 😕 bell is keep ringing? It is so noisy lol....
Because i never been to Japan .
but, still qurious about unknown place of the world!
Hi Helen, Pete here I was wondering the same thing when I was on the train. We had to wait a long time at the station and it was ringing the whole time. Maybe a standard thing I’m not sure.
