Looks like you didn't get caught in rain on your entire trip, so that was lucky in that it allowed you to walk everywhere and do things. Very nice video with easy to listen to narration and music that wasn't annoying. I am so looking forward to my next trip to Japan. I have stayed in Takayama and Shirakawa Go too, and I felt like the ryokan in Takayama and minshuku in Shirakawa Go were the same ones I stayed at! Just a reminder for those planning to visit, it's considered bad manners to eat and walk, so just stand in one spot to eat if you want to eat it right away. Also everyone should know not only to "rinse" before entering the onsen water, but also wash well before you rinse. Applies to sento baths as well.
We actually did in Kanazawa and Shirakawago but glad it stopped and we were able to walk. Thanks for sharing your travel tips and glad you liked the video. Kanpai!
That was a pretty packed itinerary- but I am impressed. Galing! Hats off to you and your planning. For first timers you’ve covered a lot of the places that are on some of most people’s bucket list.
This is the ultimate Japan adventure! Great video, I love how aesthetically pleasing it is, it's beautiful! Please let me know if you'd like to add Spanish subtitles to this video! Love from Argentina 🤗
Wow! What an amazing “7 days in Japan “ vlog. This is exactly what I been looking into doing with my wife and kids for our 2nd trip to Japan. Specifically staying in a Ryokan and experiencing the hot springs. I will definitely be following your itinerary. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the great journey to Japan, 7 days itenerary is really inspiring to have second trip there, since i never been in some great places that you share here, well done
This is such a great video! One of the best itinerary videos out there and so helpful as we plan our own trip to Japan! Love that your guys took a different route-thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you! Shinkansens (bullet train) have overhead space for carryons. you can reserve the seats at the back of the train for larger luggages. For buses, they have storage on the sides.
I am part Japanese and I used to live in Kyoto. This is my favorite Japanese travel vlog I’ve ever seen! Partly because it was so food oriented lol. I miss ekiben! Great job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a great video. Your trip and most of the places you visited I will also be seeing later this year. So this has been a real insight to what I can expect when I get there. Looks like a good part of the trip will be discovering all the local food. There is here a great variety of Asian foods, so I already have a liking for Asian food. Hmm the waistline may take a beating.
Wow what a lovely video! Very informative and inspiring. I would love to hear about budgeting for these trips - maybe as a side video? We are doing a similar trip in June, but Im concerned about affording certain experiences! Would love to hear your thoughts? Thank you from Australia!
Thanks for watching! I posted the link to accommodations and experiences in the description so you'll have an idea for budgeting. I recommend prioritizing experiences you wanna do and staying at accommodations within the budget. Ex. we splurged in a ryokan in Shibu Onsen but stayed at a budget hotel in Osaka. Have fun on your Japan trip!
This is best video on travel to Japan. Can you please make other videos just like this on other places too? Really enjoyed this so much that we watched it three times. Can you do one on South Korea and Italy? - Just anywhere. Thank you!!!!
I have been in Japan for more than a dozen times and for the last 3years due to the pandemic, we have not been anywhere but home. Your videos are very good. It brings us back to Japan! One small suggestion: let your camera stay longer and move slower in each nice place and nice meals so we, the viewers, can enjoy the places and food more. Your narratives and descriptions are excellent!
WOW... you guys did this in 7 days. love all the stay and different places you stayed at. Thank you for sharing. Hope to cross path with you guys on our journey some day. One last thing, what time of year was this? Look like the fall time frame.
Thank you for this very informative vlog. I am planning a trip this summer for my family. I was wondering what other transportation pass was used beside the Hokuriku Arch Pass for this trip? Bus pass? Again thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Aside from the Hokuriku Arch Pass, we purchased train and bus tickets not covered by the JR pass. Those are cheap and can be purchased with cash or tapping a Suica reloadable card
Wow! I've been to Japan 4 times, but now I really want to try this route. Great job for your first trip to Japan, I'm impressed. Did you book most of your itinerary before you got there? I've always wanted to stay at a Ryokan, and hopefully I'll get a chance on my next trip.
Wow which area in Japan is your favorite?..Do it! Less road traveled but packed with fun, memorable experiences. We booked our trips prior to arrival and definitely stay at least in one ryokan for experience.
It depends on what time you’re boarding. Some requires reservation. You can check the Nohi Bus website on my description. we didn’t reserve ours on this trip.
Wow this actually super well made and one of the best 'X days in Japan videos' yet; got a sub outta me! My only question is for travelling on the train, bringing checked luggage seems difficult, especially on a bus! Did you guys have any issues?
Thank you so much for watching and sub! I'm glad you love the video. Bringing checked luggage is doable just remember in bullet trains, you have to reserve the back part of the seats to store luggage. For longer route buses, they have storage on the bottom side. Train stations can also store it if you're doing a day trip like we did in Kanazawa. Hope this helps!
Very idea-inducing, your video. I'll certainly take guidance as I make my own plans. Couple of questions - 1. Which week / month of the year was this? 2. I noticed you're often without your luggage as you explore the city, while not having checked into a hotel yet. Where did you store your luggage? 3. Where did you book your Ryokans, especially the one at Shirakawa-go? 4. I was checking out some options for Keisaki dinners, but in Tokyo / Osaka they are super expensive (maybe only the expensive ones are advertised). How did you find the ones you did? May I also add, both of you look chic and dapper in the video.
Have you used any travel agency? If so, do you have any recommendations? We are looking to go but don’t speak the language. And would like to have a guide with us for the trip.
wonderfull vlog would you kindly tell how much it costs in us dollars I'm planning on a trip to japan for a month and want to know how much it is estimated for 2 travelers . thank you
Hi. I've put the links to accommodations and experiences in the description so you'll have an idea for budgeting. Airfare depends on which airport you're flying from. For daily expenses, our average expense was around $70-80/person/day. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for coming to Japan. Next time, please come to Niigata for sushi🍣 Niigata is a paradise of rice and seafood,so Sushi is so delicious✨Please come again！
Yes, the JR Hokuriku Arch Pass (link in description). You can hop on non-reserved seats in the shinkansen/bullet train. For reserved seating, you can book in advance for free w/ your JR Pass at any JR booths in the train stations (which we mostly did). Hope this helps!
@@jasg771 There are several types of “JR 7day Pass” it all depends on the region you’re traveling to. So for us, we got the JR Hokuriku 7day Arch pass since we’re traveling the Hokuriku region. I put the link on the description so you can see which JR 7Day pass is appropriate for your trip.
You're welcome. I hope you find it helpful. I've posted the links of accommodations and experiences in the description to have an idea for budgeting. Thanks for watching :)
Anyone has a video recommendation that showcases fun side of Tokyo? this video is great but it is definitely curated for people that are keen on a laid back trip.
Hi love this video as I will have trip to japan next week and purchased jr hokuriku arch pass . May I ask if JR Hida is covered by jr hokuriku arch pass? Thank you 🫶🏻🙏
Yes,it’s a fast-paced itinerary if you wanna experience Japan in a short amount of time. But definitely spend at least few days in each stop if you have time. 😊
@@traveltastetry I just shared this video on my family chat group. My 4 kids and son-in-law are all pretty enthusiastic about this trip - spending even more time!
Fantastic and great video. I am going to follow this itinerary, with extended stays in some places. Thanks. Did you get the JR Hokuriku Arch rail pass?
This guide is amazing!!! Were you part of a tour group or with a tourist guide? Also, would you mind giving us a ballpark estimate of how much did this trip cost (minus additional expenses like shopping) :)? Trying to save up for a travel to Japan and so far, your trip really looks awesome to experience! Thank you!
Glad you like it! We booked some halfday walking tours (links on description). You can also check the Experiences and Hotels in the description to have an idea of expenses. Enjoy Japan!
This vlog is so helpful. We already booked our ticket and our arrival is Narita and that would be on Feb 2025,and pauwi ng Pinas is via Osaka,so perfect!!!❤would like to ask your itinerary sana wherein included na po yung Hotel sana where you had stayed in each day after your trip.Hope mapansin ang message ko.😊
I love your trip , but just wondering about carrying luggage while moving places to places . A lot of hotels don’t let ppls check in till 3 pm . Did they let you leave the luggage while u exploring ?
Thanks for watching and we're glad you love it. Yes, our accommodations allowed us to store our luggage before check-in or even after checkout. Another option are major train station baggage lockers like what we did in Kanazawa they can also keep big pieces of luggage. Hope this helps.
we are going in November for 10 days and bought the HokurikuArch pass your video is actually quite wonderful seeing as a lot of the stuff on your list we plan on doing as well. what time of the year did you guys go?
hello from Indonesia can I use tripod and make a self photography on the way to Yasaka pagoda and Osaka Castle? it is allowed to self photograph with tripod on it?
Hi thanks for watching! Tripod is not allowed to use inside Osaka castle. Hokan-Ji and Yasaka is not open to public but you can use tripod outside Hokan-Ji Temple. Hope this helps
What do you guys do with the luggage along the way? Do you store it in the train station, take it with you everywhere..? Like when you went to the snow monkey place, you were not checked in anywhere, so what did you do with the bags?
Hi!, It was a nice vlog It’s like im watching a movie ❤ may I ask if this Hokuriku arch pass still can be used going back to Tokyo or it ends at the Osaka? thanks ! Im a new subscriber 😊
Per Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, at the time of our travel, masks are not required outdoors and you do not need to wear a mask indoors when you are approximately 2 meters apart from others and when you are not talking. We briefly remove our masks and put it back when filming indoors and of course when eating. We also learned that pre-COVID, Japanese are already wearing masks during winter so I understand your concern if you see other people, especially non-locals not wearing masks. Thanks for watching!
Planning to travel for 5 days using the Hokuriku Arch Pass. Narita airport > Kyoto > Kanazawa >Tokyo > Narita airport. Is this pass worth it for these destinations or should I purchase individual tickets?
I am planning to visit Japan next year for 2 weeks, more than one person told me spend several days exploring Tokyo, forget Osaka and then head to the countryside. Any objections? 14 days, 3 to 3.5 of them probably on the airplane (arriving and leaving, around 18-20 hours flight) leaves 10-11 days of good travel, I wonder if he might be right.
There are so many "7-days-in-Japan" videos on UA-cam, but yours is the best I have seen by far.
Thank you! A lot of work (and eating) were put into it so we're glad to hear it.
I agree 1000%
Only 7 days, they had good time and good experiences.
I think this video will be a hint to everyone who is going to travel in Japan.
Thank you! Next time we'll definitely spend more days in Japan.
Looks like you didn't get caught in rain on your entire trip, so that was lucky in that it allowed you to walk everywhere and do things. Very nice video with easy to listen to narration and music that wasn't annoying. I am so looking forward to my next trip to Japan. I have stayed in Takayama and Shirakawa Go too, and I felt like the ryokan in Takayama and minshuku in Shirakawa Go were the same ones I stayed at! Just a reminder for those planning to visit, it's considered bad manners to eat and walk, so just stand in one spot to eat if you want to eat it right away. Also everyone should know not only to "rinse" before entering the onsen water, but also wash well before you rinse. Applies to sento baths as well.
We actually did in Kanazawa and Shirakawago but glad it stopped and we were able to walk. Thanks for sharing your travel tips and glad you liked the video. Kanpai!

You’re welcome! We walked a lot in Japan too so calories were burned 😁🔥
Great video. Vi are doing this trip plus a little more this summer. Have was the room for luggages on the public transport?
Thank you! Shinkansens (bullet train) have overhead space for carryons. you can reserve the seats at the back of the train for larger luggages. For buses, they have storage on the sides.

The kimono you very well. Thanks for beautiful vid.🙏😊✨✨✨
We LOVE our kimonos too! Theres a lot to choose from! Thanks for watching 👘🎎😊
Wow what a lovely video! Very informative and inspiring. I would love to hear about budgeting for these trips - maybe as a side video? We are doing a similar trip in June, but Im concerned about affording certain experiences! Would love to hear your thoughts?
Thank you from Australia!
Thanks for watching! I posted the link to accommodations and experiences in the description so you'll have an idea for budgeting.

I have been in Japan for more than a dozen times and for the last 3years due to the pandemic, we have not been anywhere but home. Your videos are very good. It brings us back to Japan!
One small suggestion: let your camera stay longer and move slower in each nice place and nice meals so we, the viewers, can enjoy the places and food more. Your narratives and descriptions are excellent!
The video brings us back to Japan too. 😍Appreciate the feedback. Trying to fit all in to make a richer, shorter video. Thanks for watching 😊

Hey buddy great work on your prep and nice itinerary, I have a question - did you buy the Japan wide JR pass or the Hokuriku 7 day pass?
Thank you so much! Hokuriku Arch Pass is one of the JR Rail Passes
I would want a week in each stop! That was too fast for me
Yes,it’s a fast-paced itinerary if you wanna experience Japan in a short amount of time. But definitely spend at least few days in each stop if you have time. 😊

Hi I’m rhingking pf visiting Japan this May. I’m not sure if heard you have guide, and if you do how did you get one. Thanks
We only had guides for walking tours, other than that we’re on our own
What do you guys do with the luggage along the way? Do you store it in the train station, take it with you everywhere..? Like when you went to the snow monkey place, you were not checked in anywhere, so what did you do with the bags?
Hi!, It was a nice vlog It’s like im watching a movie ❤ may I ask if this Hokuriku arch pass still can be used going back to Tokyo or it ends at the Osaka?
thanks ! Im a new subscriber 😊
this is a nice itinerary :-). btw,may i know if the bus rides are included in the hokuriku pass?tq
My wife, baby, and I are going to spend 2 months in Japan this summer. I feel like I would barely fit your "7 day trip" into our trip
Just go at your own pace. 2 months is a long time and you can spend few days in a city or small town. Enjoy your trip!
Loved the video but was it not too hectic to visit new place everyday? did you feel the fatigue of traveling, check in and checkouts?
Why they are not wearing mask ?????
Per Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, at the time of our travel, masks are not required outdoors and you do not need to wear a mask indoors when you are approximately 2 meters apart from others and when you are not talking. We briefly remove our masks and put it back when filming indoors and of course when eating. We also learned that pre-COVID, Japanese are already wearing masks during winter so I understand your concern if you see other people, especially non-locals not wearing masks. Thanks for watching!
Mama… papa
Hi! 😊
Sorry if i missed it, but what month of the year did you travel? Great vid
Hello I see you booked one of your reservations through agoda for shibu. any problems with booking?
Hi, we did not have any problems booking via Agoda
Hello,I appreciate your vlog.Me and My husband is already planning to visit Japan next year.How much is your estimated budget for this trip?
Planning to travel for 5 days using the Hokuriku Arch Pass. Narita airport > Kyoto > Kanazawa >Tokyo > Narita airport. Is this pass worth it for these destinations or should I purchase individual tickets?
What dates specifically did this trip cover
I am planning to visit Japan next year for 2 weeks, more than one person told me spend several days exploring Tokyo, forget Osaka and then head to the countryside. Any objections? 14 days, 3 to 3.5 of them probably on the airplane (arriving and leaving, around 18-20 hours flight) leaves 10-11 days of good travel, I wonder if he might be right.
