    We ran into y'all in the capsule shop! It was so surreal, and I told my husband afterward that it would have been helpful to have your videos while we were planning this trip 😂 I was totally shocked to spot Peter's neon glasses in real life! Thanks for being so sweet to this slightly frazzled fan 🫰 can't wait to watch the rest of your Japan adventures!

    Oh my blorb, my wife and I are loving these videos. It's like time-traveling for us to see you two doing all the stuff for the first time, and having the EXACT same reactions we did. I'm glad you're letting yourselves explore a bit, and not stick to some rigid travel plan. Japan is truly one of the best non-English speaking countries for an Ordinary Adventure. I haven't been so excited for someone else in such a long time, that I'm legitimately excited whenever I see a notification, because I'm hoping it's another upload from you guys. That said, the wait for Disney Sea is killing us! :D

    I LOVED getting to go to Japan a few years ago and have always wanted to go back. Meiji Jinku was such a beautiful place and there was a wedding happening there when I was there and that was cool to see. The subway everywhere ended up being actually pretty easy to navigate after a few days there and we ate SO MUCH FOOD! From the 7-11's to all the restaurants. Hope you guys found a good ramen shop if you like ramen! All of the vending machines gave me so much life and I loved the sparking apple juice and the hot chocolate out of those!
