Thanks to Magic AI for sponsoring this video! Check them out for free here!: www.magictravel.ai/?r=josie 😊 I am so excited to be in Japan, i have a few fun video ideas! If you have any tips for Japan, let me know 😁
If the world is filled with Moe illustration European girls, you'll have to be kind to the losers, or you'll lose to the illustration European girls.
7:46 Foreign tourists are throwing away garbage.
9:31 Filipino
11:25 Korean
I LOVE seeing other people's first Tokyo experiences since that's something I cannot experience for the first time ever again.
Makes me relive those warm feelings.
So happy for you.
Tokyo is my therapy 🙏
Awesome! I am so glad you enjoyed living through me for this one 😊
If you keep being cold towards loser guys, you'll lose to the European girls in manga and anime.
In spring, go to Tokyo for cherry blossoms.
In the summer, go to Okinawa, where you can see coral reefs.
In autumn, go to Kyoto and Nara for the autumn leaves and temples.
In winter, head to the ski resorts of Niseko and Hakuba.
I Love Japan so much🇯🇵❤️
From Bangladesh🇧🇩❤️
Japan is it's own world. I love Japan so much! Hopefully you make it to Kyoto! I tell people Tokyo is like New York City in 2050.Tokyo is so magical 😍
My sister and I want to visit Japan. Where would you suggest we go? There’s so many things online to choose from all over
I love Japan and Japanese people 🥺
Love from India 😍
Thank you for your love and support all the way from India! It means the world to me. Japan is truly an amazing place and I'm grateful to be able to share my experiences with you.
Tokyo was the 1st place i visited overseas, i remember coming fresh out of the transit station coming from Narita and feeling like i just arrived on another planet! Tokyo is an amazing place!! I can see your experience is just as magical as mine was!
Its like a whole new world isnt it? Glad you enjoyed the video!
I am not the biggest fan of vlogs anymore nowadays because most of the time the reactions don’t feel real.
But I came across this video it’s been a while since I enjoyed a Vlog this! This feels really genuine I especially enjoyed the Pokémon Center part! 😂 fantastic video hope to see more
Hahaha wow thank you!!!! Love that you love my video, thank you so much for watching 😁😁😁
That meow meow part..hell funny😂😂 Joise again thought today is the day and claw machine said ..NOPE🤣🤣 Enjoy Japan
Hahaha I will win at a claw machine one day...... thanks for watching as always 😊
Love Japan, love Tokyo. I need to learn Japanese. great culture. wonderful people.
Its probably the most fun to learn language out of those ive tried to tackle!
Thank you so much for the video about Japan.
The best part was Maid Cafe. That was soooo nice!
Here are some infos about the things in Ramen.
brown thing on top: cloud ear mushroom
green thing on top: sliced green onions
round thing on top: braised pork belly called Chashu
yellow long thing which is hard to see: bamboo shoots called Menma
Hope this helps. Please have a nice trip!
I’ve been to Tokyo Osaka and Kagawa this summer. This is my third time there and really enjoying❤
i could definitely see myself coming back again and again!
I am so excited 😊 🤗
I can’t wait to go to Japan eventually hopefully soon also I Love how honest you are instead of pretending you like everything
I love how much you were confused by the maid cafe😂
But your feeling is right,because even Japanese people cant understand what they are doing💀（I'm Japanese)
Welcome to Japan🇯🇵
Love you!
Thank you for the welcome!
Let’s go! I’m late to this one but loving it already 😂
Hellooooo!
Hei Josie and Michael 🇦🇺🇦🇺Nice Tour video in 🇯🇵Japan.I liked your video full of Fun and Enjoyment🎉I liked Japan because of the Glittering market and streets both of you covered during your visits.During this Christmas Festival season your video made me lot of enjoyment while watching❤
Woo thank you so much for watching!!! So happy you liked it! Japan is so cool, isn’t it?
Have you been to Japan?? 😊😊
@@josieliftsthings I have n't visited any country.Hoping for a Chance in life
Thank you so much for uploading a wonderful video ! From 🇯🇵🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!
Japan truly is an incredible country wz very nice ppl!! I respect them for more reasons than one!
Miss Japan so much from Thailand ❤
I recommend you say すみません(sumimasen) or こんにちわ(konnichiwa) instead of お元気ですか(ogenkidesuka) at first because Japanese people rarely say "How are you?" when they meet with people. Enjoy your trip!
As a Japanese, I'm grateful you to come to Japan! Welcome!!
Thank you! ☺️
Josie is so cute and innocent ❤️😭
Welcome to Japan!!!!!!🎉🎉
Thank you!!!! 😁
Seeing after along time . Bless you
Just came back from Japan 1 month ago spent 2 weeks there, the Dorayaki with red been&cream in LAWSON is a MUST TRY!!!
I’m shook that you’ve never eaten ramen before😳 I love it, I eat it almost daily, I add hard boiled egg, cheese, pickled spicy onions, smoked hotdog and hot sauce is a must or dried hot pepper flakes🤤 I’m gonna make a bowl, yours looked delicious👍👍👍
you eat Japanese ramen daily or instant noodles? diff things
@@tyw1444 I make it at home mostly
welcome to Japan🇯🇵🔥
Love you guys!
Hahaha thank you!!!! 😁😁😁☺️☺️☺️☺️
9:33 In case you are wondering, this waiter is not Japanese.
Probably of Indian descent.
14:26 girl in beanie is my friend!
Ramen is Japanese soul food🩷
Please come Japan again.
It looks sooo wild and iconic, I need to visit for the food alone 😂😂
Yeah its seriously insane haha
Thank you, I love your video. I love your tips and definitely going to use Magic AI. I never been to Japan but I'm planning on it for summer 2024. What part of district the hotel you stay at for that price. Your not the only one, I personally never had ramen myself. I will be looking forward to the experience.
You're finally here!
IM HEREEEEEE 😄😄😁😁😁
hi joise im also going to japan (osaka) next year in april, love from brunei
Good morning, Josie. Making our way to 1M. 🎉🎉🎉
Good morning Walt!!! That doesn’t seem real 😂😂😂
I love japan ❤❤❤
The ramen toppings are pork, green onions, wood ear fungus(mushroom) , bamboo shoots and sesame.
Thank you for coming to Japan! Have a Enjoy in Japan! can't wait your next video!!
Thank you so much!! Loving it here. Can’t wait to show you more 😁😁
Thank you for ‘experiencing’ the maid cafe for me… I couldn’t do that for sure… Meow Meow😹😹😹
I definitely experienced it.....haha what a crazy place!
Damn, you got so lucky with the Poke balls! Snorlax AND Pikachu?! That’s wild!
Tokyo has been on my (Mike) bucket list since I was tiny, and you’re making me want to go soooo bad! 😭😭😭
Awesome concept for the video! Meow meow. 😂 Safe travels!
29:38 if you like chicken, try “Oyakodon” - chicken & egg
There is a ramen museum in Shin-Yokohama, which is not far from Tokyo, roughly 17.25 miles. In terms of its history, it came from China in 1800s. You can look it up online.
No one cares about your stinky piss flavored chinese ramen 🤣
I'm enjoying the Vlogmas on the other channel. Looking forward to a member's update. Which country is next?
I’m so glad you’re enjoying! They are SO fun for me to make 😂 Members update coming tomorrow with a bigger overview of what we have done lately. And you will know where we have been and what’s happening! 🤍🤍🤍🙏🏻
Josie is living a dream of many of us 🥲
Hey Josie! after exploring all the world, plz go to moon and mars and make vlogs fr us 😁
One day!
i tried a cookies and cream donut once in Japan convenience store, I still can’t forget it! It was the best donut ever 😍
I wish that you get 1M subscribers before this year ends. 🎉
また来てね😊
Happy birthday🎂🎉🎁
Thanks!! 😊😊
Nice Tokyo vlog.
Your reaction at the bidet 😂
Why would I wanna spray anything on my rear? Haha.
still not used to it!
My first meal in Japan is Katsudon because it is cooked. But now I can eat sushi and sashimi. Fantastico can be Sugoi in Japan.
I just love it all hey! Such good food!
Go to the supermarkets for the evening for discounted sushi :)
Great tip!
Welcome!!!!
Thank you!
Japan people very good
Please come to visit Fukuoka
Hey Josie, do you know that you may ask the staff in the claw game store to "help" you to get one out successfully if you have failed multiple multiple times? The staff would position one that is easy to "claw" for you. Of course, that is aftee multiple multiple failures 😅
Hi Josie & Micheal, plz find some fine food to eat and less coffee 😂 Waiting for your new video with beers and BBQ in Tokyo ❤
Love Japanese bidet
Hey Josie, Do you have any plans to go back to India? Great videos btw.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Welcome to Tokyo! I just discovered your channel a few days ago watching you two travel in China. It's really interesting to see your reactions of all the local experiences. Off the beat tip. Tokyo, although being the cultural, political, financial and everything hub of Japan, for food, it's not that great lol. Not saying it's bad because it isn't. But compared to the regional parts of Japan from which all the local cuisines have gathered and blended, Tokyo is the watered down version of all the flavours of Japan. Japanese food in Tokyo is like Disneyland food. It's Simplified and about 50% authentic of the real stuff. Even the ramen! I'll probably get some hate for that comment lol. There is a local cuisine indigenous to Tokyo and it's called "Monjya-yaki." Ironically, its actually a watered down version of Osaka's 'Okonomiyaki.' You can eat Monjya-yaki in Asakusa but I don't recommend it because it actually looks like vomit while it's being prepared and cooked at your table. It seems like for most tourists 7-11 and conbini food is a staple because of it's uniqueness. Enjoy your stay!
You should feel a lack of knowledge. Do you know the Michelin restaurant guide? It has the highest number of Bib Gourmand stars in the world. Number 2 is Paris, France. Number 3 is Kyoto.
@@socks_cat356 Do Michelin restaurants count? The class was originally created by Michelin to promote tourism in continental USA. I don’t think locals go to Michelin restaurants except for special occasions or are rich. My rich uncle took me to a Michelin Japanese cuisine when he visited me in Tokyo. He loved every bite and was amazed. I thought it tasted less than average in comparison to tons of places in smaller towns around Japan and was just overpriced. So my knowledge is real and with experience. Not google. edit. Been in Tokyo 20 years. Have never tasted anything here that is half as good as the stuff in the countryside. And every non-Tokyo native I’ve shared this sentiment with has agreed with me on this. So tell me what is your knowledge base?
@@niceboke Are you saying this in your right mind? After all, it's just your subjective opinion. The significance of Bib Gourmand is its affordable pricing and published objective data.
@@socks_cat356 It’s the subjective opinion of mine and most non Tokyo Japanese that I’ve had the conversation with. I don’t actually know what the standards are for getting Michelin stars, but They’ve given a pack of instant noodles one Michelin star. You can buy it at a Japanese seven eleven. It has a Michelin star but it doesn’t taste anywhere near as good as real noodles from any old place. Michelin star is just a gimmick for tourism. I’m sure the standards mean you’ll get a good restaurant but in terms of actual taste, it doesn’t mean as much as you think it does.
@@niceboke This is because each individual makes a judgment based on the taste of their hometown where they have lived for a long time, and I don't think it's something that should be said to foreign tourists.
u should go to odaiba its a beautiful place !!!! 💖💖
Thanks for the tip!
Now i miss Tokyo so bad😆
Let’s go back! 😂😁
@@josieliftsthings i am aiming to go in 2024. My last visit was 2019 and first was 2014🥹Sorry for long reply….
will also try to visit my family in Australia within the next few years. Missed out on so much during covid lockdowns 😐👀 these videos felt so nostalgic to watch since your energy was so similar to my first visit😂especially when looking around the Pokemon centres. “Ooh, ooooooh, ooooooooooohh!” When seening my faves 🤣
If u go again i recommend(saw like 10 of your vids yesterday and you asked for recommendations in one):
Tsukumen (diping noodles since you dont like broth/soup)
Taking the ferry/boat from Asakusa (station opposite of the golden turd) to Odaiba.
Okonomiyaki is da BOMB.
Walking down the backstreets of the fancy shop side of Harajuku, there you can find amazing local restaurants and stores. Is a cool candy-store there with handmade candy🤩and it feels like you went somewhere completely different. Start walking down the alley to the right of “zara harajuku”.
I have been so many times so ask away if you want and i might be able to answer 🤩

❤❤❤🎉may traveling bring inner peace to every single person on this planet, make them understand that what unites us all is stronger than the differences between us...and eventually make this world a better place...❤ someday in the future hopefully...
Nice 🙏 Thanks for the insights. I plan to go there next year for my next travel series and now i want even more to go there
Enjoy your trip! its so much fun here!
It’s kinda crazy that ice cream vending machines aren’t common in Australia, considering the heat
Look you’re totally right gahaha
HAHAHAHA Michael bringing u to the maid cafe
seriously.... he knew what would make me the most uncomfortable haha
Pokémon centre 👍🏼😊
Hi josie, can you recommend some australian channels for migrating to Melbourne. Thank you in advance
You can always post it to your home address or your parents
Highly recommend you to try their onsen bath places
I’m worried because I have a few tattoos?! And I heard I can’t use them? 🤔 this is definitely something I want to do also!! 😁
@@josieliftsthings Actually you can buy some big skin color plasters from pharmacies and have them covered if your tattoos are not gigantic. This is what most people do. It’s very common practice.
居酒屋 really needs on the list in the night life of Japan and 古着 store which is famous for used items but definitely worth try and buy I mean, though I haven't had the chance to go Toyko yet. LOL anyways
I could 'feel' your excitement of being in and experiencing Toyko. I'm with Michael - you in the Maid Cafe was one of the most uncomfortable vibes I've seen of you - haha. Tokyo seems so interesting, hope to see more. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
It was super uncomfortable 🤣
What country are you going next after Japan
can you link where you stayed? it looks great!!
i'll bring an information sheet out towards the end of the trip :)
How can you keep moving around without going home and working. Great way of living Life.
I will be in Tokyo in another 3 weeks. Yayyy
Ive worked harder than ive ever worked in my life in any full time or career job ive had doing this haha. This is 100+ hours a week of work! But I love it. Enjoy your trip to Japan!
Welcome to Japan🇯🇵🥷⛩️
Thank you!
Hi Josie, this was so much fun, I love seeing Tokyo with you two, the sites, the foods, the fun things to do, it’s all great👍👍👍 I wish I was 40yrs younger and able to experience this in person but I can’t so I’m thankful to you & Michael for sharing this adventure and enabling me to experience it thru you🫶 Fun fact, 7-Eleven stores started out in the US, Texas to be exact, I was fortunate to have one within 10 minutes walking distance from my New Jersey home then they closed up and moved away, I think they all went to Asia, they love those stores there😝 Anyhoo, thanks so much, looking forward to your next vid♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Thank you as always for watching! Wow I had no idea 7-11 was a US thing!
@@josieliftsthings Yep, 1st started in Texas
Will you also be going to Korea? Seeing as you already went to China, Taiwan and now Japan 😁
中国や台湾なら楽しめますが、日本に来た後に韓国😂
？ 何もかも日本のパクリ国家じゃないですか😅 菓子類も米も果物も街並みも何もかもw 欧米の人にも隣国の異常性に早く気付いて欲しいね😅
love from India
Saying "Ogenki desuka?" to shop owner/sales clerk will weird them out so you may use "konnichiwa" instead 😂
It’s fine lol. She is doing her best
@@green_willowtree
上の方が言う様に確かに変ですよ😂 ただ「これ下さい」とか普通にこちらの用件を言い出すのが最も自然です☝️😄
So I will be going to Japan for a layover when I go to the Philippines and going back there on the way back to the states. I was curious about the airport. How long did it take for you to go from leaving the plane to getting out of customs immigration? I have a 12-hour window to go around Tokyo so I wanted to make sure I made the most of my time. Great videos by the way
I am impressed with the poster for at least trying to speak in Japanese.
Most tourists who come to Japan speak to Japanese people in English or try to converse with them in English "as if it were natural" without showing "any offence or hesitation". We Japanese people don't say anything outwardly, but we are disgusted and resentful of this kind of attitude at the back of our minds.. It is extremely arrogant. And most travelers coming to Japan are unaware of this. So,we like and appreciate those who make an effort to at least speak Japanese, whether they actually speak it or not.
@@pahoopahoo You know that English is universal language, right? This is why it is being taught in schools around the world.
I hope you also know that a person can travel to 10 countries in 3 months and he/she isn't required to learn 10 new languages. They can just use English.
I'm pretty sure most people try to learn basic phrases. And from what I've seen in a lot of videos, the tourists tend to speak easy English like "Can I get xxxx 1 please? How much? Do you have xxx?" and they use body language too.
So for me I think it's cute when both sides try to communicate no matter in what language. I don't feel DISGUSTED by them at all like you said you do.
4:02 The poster of the anime I'm watching this season
Your blog so fantastic mem.
Hachiko, Richard Gere did true to the movie.
Oh wow, what an amazing trip, I’m looking forward to seeing all you share♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️BTW, who is the gentleman you travel with, I don’t know his name or relation to you, I hope you don’t mind me asking, you’re both just so nice😊
Thank you Angela!!! Can’t wait to show you 😄
@@josieliftsthingsThank you🙏♥️😇♥️🙏
There are a lot of Onigiri without fish 😅
Im blue.. my lvl is 30, love from Indonesia
適材適所を海外で選択するのは難しい😂
Josie, you should take Michael to a muscle bar, lol. You will love it.
This is interesting… 🤔😂😂
Happy Thanksgiving Jossie and Michael🎥 in Tokyo, Japan💑! I suggest to colaborate with Nihon Mantapo Jerome👌, UA-camr from Indonesia to explore Shibuya and buy a new drone🚁!
A new drone is needed!
I am glad to see a video of you enjoying Japan. However, it is good manners to take off your shoes at the first house.
Did you guys get the metro unlimited ride tickets?
not this time!
Can you link where you stayed please
What’s the name of your accomodation?
The black thing in the bowl is actually black fungus lol.😊
