- Japan travel vlog number 2 :) What to eat in Tokyo and the best things to do in Tokyo 2023! I hope my FULL Tokyo itinerary helps you see what life is like in Japan. This is my Tokyo travel guide and things to do in Japan. I left out a couple more things because I left for Osaka, but I'll be back in Tokyo for a few more days and will update via UA-cam shorts or reals. Please enjoy this Japan travel vlog as I share what I ate at the Tsukiji fish market, Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San, and the Tokyo street go-karts! Since this is my first time in Japan, I did A LOT of research on the best things to do in Japan and what you must eat in Japan.

Story of my life 🥲
1:10 is SO real, love it when my watch gets my outdoor walk.
Maya! I’ve been following you for a while now and I’ve also wanted to visit Japan for like 15 years…out of all of the videos I’ve seen people do of Japan NOBODY has ever talked about there being no soap in public restrooms 😂😂😂 I feel like that is a very important tip for me anyway…thank!!
Loved Japan! Absolutely fantastic. We got some spectacular footage and more importantly created amazing memories!
Japan is soooo wonderful!!
Wow I’m glad you had so much fun in Japan with your friends! Thanks for sharing your itinerary, you the most organized person ever lol
My day is almost made 10x better when Maya posts! ❤
I’m going to Japan this Fall. This is so helpful for me. You answered my questions regarding the international driving permit. Thank you very much Maya.
Hey Maya! I found your UA-cam channel today :)
I love Japan, I love the Japanese language and Japanese culture. I love everything about it basically haha, so my guess is that that is the reason why yout travel vlog made it into my UA-cam suggestions! I'm happy it did.
I had no idea some of the places you mentioned even existed and that they are so HUGE! (For example the Uniqlo store in Ginza. How cool!) and I added the Itoya store to my bucket list!
I just wanted to say that this is an all around awesome travel vlog, I genuinely enjoyed it!
If you are ever interested in adding Spanish subtitles to this video, please let me know! It'd be so cool to be able to share this with my family and friends, I think they'd enjoy it!
Lots of love from Argentina
Awwww thank you sooo much, Rosario!! 💕💕 I’ll look into how others can help me translate my videos because I would LOVE that!!
@@mayaleex3 I've worked for other content creators here on UA-cam and it's been such a wonderful experience. I love doing translations and subtitles, it's the best thing ever. I can do Spanish subtitles for one of your videos for free as well! That way, you can see if you like them and if you'd like me to do more 🤗
I will go to Japan end of May. Thank you for sharing. I am so excited now!
I feel comfortable when I look at you as if you are an angel😔✨💗
😭😭 what a compliment
Maya this is a super helpful video, I'm planning my first visit to Japan...thank you!🤩
I am totally the same when it comes to animals out of their original habitat. So I get how you feel about the hedgehog. ❤
I am glad you had fun on the trip Maya ❤.
Take good care of yourself..

Stay blessed, Lots of love .
I have been wanting to go to Japan for about 15 years, this video really drives it home for me! I need to go! Love this so much. 😍🥰

Thx for posting ur itineraries…I will copy and paste them and probably just make some adjustment for kiddos 😆…:btw is it hot already even is just Spring April…:?

It’s a dream of mine to visit Japan. They have such a beautiful culture! How much Japanese should you learn before making the trip? & do many people speak English in Tokyo?
I didn’t get a chance to learn much other than “where is the restroom” and “excuse me” :’) but in Tokyo a lot more people understood English than in the smaller cities!
3:28 Do you remember where this gachapon was?? I really want the angel blue ones but !!!!
I love Maya
Hey! Maya can I get reply from you and I really love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 500K Subscribers very very soon!💫❤️😊

Hi maya
3:13, Nice. But what time they close?
really love your travel vlog has energy vibe!
Can you bring tripod everywhere ? And Which website do u make reservation?
The candied strawberries is actually a Chinese treat called tanghulu!
"so happy to eat vegetables"
5 words my younger self will never agree too XD
did you find that anyone treated you differently because you wore more open tops? curious because i am going to tokyo soon! ^^
Thankfully not!! 🥹
That go kart info is handy although not sure if they'll have it when I go in November. How does the Rail Passes work? I see you can purchase them online 7,14, and 21 days but do they pretty much work everywhere or is it limited? Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your video. Where was your hotel? Looking for one near Shibuya station
Hello, would you be able to post your full itinerary that you included in this video at 0:58 ?
Yesss I just pinned the comment with it!
Thanks for watching ❤❤❤

Very good work hope for u the best
Im Subscribe i like iz❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊❤❤😊😊
Im going to shanghai soon!!
What shoes are you wearing?
I am in Tokyo now too!
2:25 Wow, you've got a really unique banknote there! That money is a 2000 yen bill, and it was issued only in the year 2000. Seems a bit too special to spend lol
Omg I had no idea!!
I’ll be in Tokyo next week and I have questions about the go karts, how did you find that place? Were there more options? What was the price range you paid and did you reserve it in advance?
What was the name of the pancake buffet place? 😍😋
Benitsuru :)
Hi Maya lee
Lots of love ma'am from India....
What resturant was that, the one you really liked w/ the katsu!? Also is $2500 usd worth of yen enough for a week?
Hi Maya! Any idea if Tsukiji market opens on Sundays?
Hi Maya! Is it consider summer right now?
It’s spring! :)
any plans to visit an onsen?
Hi, I really want to know where and how much of the go-karts I so interested ❤
It was $120usd!
What song is played in the beginning?
Great video! Wondering how you pay for most things in Tokyo?
Cash and card! :)
May I check where do u book for Mario kart ?
Question: I don’t speak Japanese, what was you impression of getting around on just English 😅
It was fine!! Lots of hand motions and pointing :) Papago (I used this app to take a photo of menus and it’ll translate the photo if they dont have an english menu) but it was fine!
Where can I find your itinerary? 🙏
@mayaleex3 man It's so beautiful there and how's the food there?
I think it’s good!! In LA were also blessed with really good Japanese food but I think the prices here make it more worth it 😅
@@mayaleex3 well that is good and true that and 😁 well I hope one-day I get to go there and try all the good foods 💯% and also wanna say would you like to see what is in Farmville VA? and stay at the Farmville motel?
What was the temperature when you visited Tokyo?
What is the song u used in the video? I hear it everywhere but no name to the song😭
Aww thank you for sharing these experiences with us!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I was thinking of you only ma'am 😊
I was thinking that when you will upload your video.
Finally it came 🎉
Wow❤😂
Hi, quick question - I will be going to Japan next week and was wondering how do you make reservations at restaurants? Via website, phone call, etc? (I don't speak Japanese at all)
Oooo sometimes I would google the restaurant name and translate the page in English through google chrome and would reserve if it was available. Japan used tablelog as their “Yelp” and sometimes you can reserve. Sometimes you can pay to reserve but I didn’t do that!
sorry is there an itinerary to download, like a link or I missed it ?
Pinned a comment of it :)
@@mayaleex3 Hey Maya, fully appreciate it.
See you were busy😅i myself am more of a just let’s see how i feel on the day person 😂
You ate more in a couple days, then i in the past 7yrs😂
What is the name of the katsu restaurant in the video?
Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San :)
Thank you!
i would love to go to animal cafes but i hate thinking about how they get overworked too :,( poor babies!
What’s as the name of the restaurant?
What was the restaurant she said was the best meal she had???
Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San :)
First she woke up, then she went to a store and bought a sandwich and had pork breakfast, then she walked and drank some water. Then she had lunch and ate a Japanese food, then she went to a cafe that had animals, then she bought a toy from a machine, went to a mall and then ate sushi for dinner, then she went to a store and bougt some things
The second day she woke up and she went out to eat fish, and to eat things like egg, meat and other things. Then she went to the park and got a smoothie, then she went to a store and ate lunch, then she went to the hotel and ate dinner, and then she went in cars
The third day she ate breakfast and ate a disert, and ate sushi, then she went to a cafe, then she visited things in Japan and then she ate lunch and saw anime things and then she ate dinner, that was a soup
hmmm,... for me, kudzu mochi in Kameido ...
What hotel did you stay in Ginza?
Millennium Mitsui :)
