    We spent 4 days in Tokyo and can confirm that's not nearly enough! Especially when you're jetlagged. So pro tip: take at least a day to rest and wander around a bit if you know you'll be severely jetlagged. Tokyo deserves all the time you can afford to spend in it!

      So sorry for misspelling Akihabara (twice!) 😢

    I love that your suggestions for things to do were very centered on taking in the sights and appreciating them -- I feel as though many travel vlogs to Japan are intent on highlighting how "different" the place is or focused on trying to find the most Instagram-worthy collectables or experiences, so it's really nice to watch a video that encourages people to just like... be in the moment. There's a very grateful energy to your vlogging that I really enjoyed! Beautiful shots, too! None of the cinematograpy made me dizzy (always a perk in vlogs, lol) and some of the moments you captured were truly gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!

      Thanks so so so much for this lovely comment. It made our day! Such kind words ☺️❤️ we're so happy you enjoyed this one. We were so grateful and happy to have finally realised this dream of visiting Japan and we're glad you picked up on that energy. It really sounds like you felt exactly how we wanted you to feel when watching it 🤗 Thank you so much! Have a lovely day/night 😊

    The Tokyo Red Garden has been known as 八芳園(Happo-en Garden) in Tokyo. There many famous gardens in Metropolitan area, but Happo-en was not known among the people except for garden fans. Last autumn the garden was renovated to make splendid night lightnings. As a result, the night illuminations began to attract the visitors with new naming of Tokyo Red Garden.

    • @travelmurmur
      @travelmurmur  Рік тому +1

      I think they didn't change the name of the garden! It's still Happo-en but the Tokyo Red Garden was an installation during the autumn season. I may be wrong, though! You are correct that it was renovated and still not very known, only amongst gardens fans ☺️

      @takashinishida9113 Рік тому +1

      ​@@travelmurmur They didn't change the name itself. Tokyo Red Garden would be the name of autumn night illustration for attracting international visitors.

    • @travelmurmur
      @travelmurmur  Рік тому

      That's right ☺️ the garden is beautiful even without this installation! We'll visit it next time during the day!

      Such a lovely time of the year to visit Japan 🍂🍁 Definitely layers. It's not too cold but mornings can be chilly. A light jacket is a great idea and then a thick layer + lighter layers (t-shirts/long sleeve) are ideal. More importantly, bring comfortable shoes! Have a wonderful trip and thanks for watching ❤️

    Visit also the new Toranomon Hills Station (especially the T-market) and the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower.
    If you come in Tokyo in 2024, you must to visit the new Azabudai Hills (which has buildings with very original architecture, which also has plenty of green spaces with, among other things, lots of fruit trees on the roofs which are accessible and also with the famous teamLab Borderless which will reopen in this complex in January 2024 and also lots of new stores and shopping centers as well as works of art and even a new shrine)

      @@yuya1094 haha, it's okay! Pack layers. Sometimes I (Andreia) wore a thick sweater and it was perfectly fine, sometimes I was wearing a thin sweater with a jacket and that was fine, too. The mornings are always colder but the weather is usually dry so it's not as cold as you think it'll be. Take normal autumnal clothes. Most importantly, good comfortable shoes because you'll end up walking a lot!

    それに時には人をおもてなし、人の相手もしてお茶の休憩所や猫と戯れたい時の目印だったのです。そして役目を終えて天の虹🌈を渡った時にこの神社に像は返納されて祀られるのです。お二人とも良い場所に行かれてみてて和みました。
