      Eeee! I know you've been so excited for this for so long. I remember you saying years ago when we had a little chat on instagram dms 😆 I loved seeing the flight because I'll be doing the exact same thing next year! So excited to see this series, all about your travels and experiences 🥰

    I've been living in Japan for the past 7 years (Kumamoto, way down south) so it was fun to see Japan through fresh eyes! I'm used to Japan now but I tried to go back to America for a visit last year and I couldn't stand it. 😆 I was like, "GET ME BACK TO JAPAN IMMEDIATELY." My husband is Japanese so I'll be here forever, but even if he wasn't, I don't think I'd want to leave. 😅

    • @catherinekayy
      @catherinekayy  Рік тому +7

      Hehehe omg I could totally live in Japan the only downside for me would be how far away from my friends and family I would be! Me and dean even said if it was a short flight we would move there! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

    I am so happy that your video highlights the contrasting beauty of Japan on day one. My favourite part of Japan is the fact that tradition and modernity intertwine perfectly. I usually find “travel day/ first day in Japan” vlogs frustrating because it seems like people visit with zero research and become overwhelmed very quickly. Your appreciation is so clear and I love it. I really hope that we see some of the infamous host hairdos from kabukicho in future videos!

    I’m so happy! I’ve been trying to study by myself Japanese for 5 1/2 months now, and this year I’ll finally get online classes because I’ll be doing my XV travel once I turn 16 and it’s going to be to Japan! We are still saving for it, of course I do my best to don’t buy unnecessary/ expensive things and just in 1 week I already planned some places to go, things to do, calculated the average money we’ll need, we searched hotels and everything! It’s going to be a trip of only my mother and I. Im so happy, hope everyone can go sometime too!

    This brought back all the memories of my first trip to Japan! You MUST try the egg salad sandwiches. I know it sounds simple but trust me, there soooo good. I bought one everyday at a Family Mart near the airbnb I was staying at.

    Okay so I haven't actually started watching the vlog yet but want to scream from the top of my lungs that I LOVE YOUR TRAVEL VLOGS! We are totally different travellers (the amount of times you've taken a detour/didn't have a plan/figure it out when you get there will have given me some heart attacks) but that's what makes it so interesting to watch. I even got my partner into watching these with me and we "ooo" and "aaaaaah" over all the little things. I will be glued to all the episodes :)

    • @catherinekayy

    Very happy and excited for you!
    Just helpful tips, take em or leave em:
    1. Order your SIMS card or Wifi before leaving for your trip. That way, you can switch or set everything up on the plane and start immediately using your mobile devices.
    2. Always always aaalways sleep on the plane! I know it can be hard but you will spend most of your first day or two sleeping if you don’t sleep on the plane.
    3. For vlogging, please be mindful of filming laws in Japan.
    4. Also not sure if you mention this, but bring lots of cash. Most vendors in Tokyo will take credit card but outside of the city more and more vendors only accept cash.
    Your video has made me miss visiting Japan so much 😢 Your excitement is palpable! It’s making me nostalgic for the first time I visited. It really is something so special and I am so extremely happy for you!

    Your video got recommended to me at the right time! In a month me and my boyfriend will also go to Japan for a little bit over 3 weeks. We also got a direct flight from Germany which takes over 13 hours and I was also planning to go to Disneyland and Universal studios. We also stay in Tokyo twice and booked a hotel in shinjuku. So many similarities! I really enjoyed how excited you seem because I will probably feel the same! I've lost count of how many Japanese dramas, video games, shoujo manga and anime I have consumed. To see it all in real life will be so exciting, it really is a dream come true

    this was so great to watch, just makes me more and more excited to finally go on my own japan trip ! Would you maybe care to make a sort of 'resume' video of your trip with a bit of tips and tricks and also some feedback on how you experienced sertain things as a tourist ? (ex. how easy was it to use public transport as a tourist, ...) I think, seeing the comments i read below, a lot of people would be interested in that ^^ Cant wait for the rest of this series to come on youtube !

    Oh, Japan at last! Staying in Japan for a long time is very dangerous.🤔That's because one gets used to living in Japan, and when they return, they miss Japan a lot. And a year later they're dying to go back. At the end of the day, they start thinking seriously about settling in Japan.😓
    That's my experience.😂

    The flavored alcoholic drinks are called chuhai, I get the 9% Strong Zero brand. Welcome to Japan, I live here now so I live seeing people's first time here. I always recommend taking on empty bag for all the stuff you buy so you're not stressed in trying to fit everything. If you need to, go to Donkihote and use Google translate to ask where suitcases are. If you're in Shinjuku there is one there I believe.
