Overwhelmed by What We Found in Tokyo! (arriving in Japan)
Вставка

- We did not expect to be going to Japan right now, but here we are! Our first impressions of Japan are more than we could have hoped for - Tokyo is an incredible city! In this video, we are making our way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Tokyo, Japan. The journey brings us through Manila airport and along the way we are sharing a story that has slowly been writing itself for many months now (maybe even years!).
Japan has a very special place in our hearts for a couple of reasons, all of which we share in this video as we capture our first impressions of Tokyo. We arrive to Haneda airport and are immediately met with more luxury than we have seen in a very long time. The electronic check in counter is a first for us, as are so many of the things we experience in our first 24 hours in Tokyo! This megacity has so much to offer visitors, and we aren't even getting to those exciting tourist attractions yet!
If you are travelling to Japan sometime soon, or are thinking about visiting Japan, we have a feeling you will have similar first impressions to Japan as we did. This country is known for it's technological advancement, efficiency, and cleanliness, and it did not disappoint! We haven't had a chance to try proper Japanese food yet, but we can confirm the snacks from Family Mart hit the spot!
We also learned the hard way that Japan is so far in the future that trying to get physical SIM cards is very challenging! Thankfully, learning how to use the Tokyo Metro and get our Suica cards was way simpler than getting ourselves some data.

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on UA-cam, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
Is Japan on your travel bucket list?!?! 🌏
I just came back from Japan about a week ago and can't wait for my next trip. I've been going for 25 years (30+ trips) and it is hands downs, the greatest travel destination in the world.
We were also very impressed when we visited. Every tourist counter (at rail station/airport or even small hotel) is super prepared with every piece of information on paper/maps to help you. They have binders behind them full of all the prepared information. Also how polite and considerate they are- no one talks on the phone or eats/drinks in the subway, they wear mask even if they just have sniffles/allergies! And how they take fun/cute ideas to the extreme- Hello Kitty road barriers?!? ❤❤❤ Enjoy your trip!!
Haha wow yes that definitely sounds like Japan. So organized and polite and always so considerate of other people. Such a great country and we can’t wait to share more with you!
So much fun watching you get around on your adventure!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for joining us 😀
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love your energy-such a pleasure to watch. I loved Japan! Fell in love with the people-so polite and disciplined. And everything is so clean.
Thank you so much!!
Definitely following your japan series 😊 ...
PS: I really enjoyed how you guy present you video 🙏🏻👌🏻
I want to visit Japan so badly!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Between the foods at the convenience stores/markets, noodle restaurants, traditional buildings, landmarks, landscapes, culture and people, I would get a sensory overload, too!! But all in a good way!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Totally! Sensory overload in a good way for sure!
Great video guys! I’m planning on visiting Japan next year and am currently in the process of finalising my itinerary, and these videos come just at the right time!
Oh that's awesome, we hope you find lots of good info in the videos!!
Tokyo one of my fav places for food along with Tuscany, Barcelona and Istanbul…. Bonding with your niece will be so fun… My 9yr old niece just bought me a “Funcle” t shirt 🥲
Ah yes, we have loved Japanese food too!!! 😋
Wow!!
We have so many exciting Japan videos coming up!
Welcome to Japan!
On your way from Osaka to Kyushu, why not stop by the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima?
You must visit there when you come to Japan. Half of the visitors are foreigners, so you may meet new friends!
Yes! We will definitely visit the Peace Memorial Park as our family lives quite close to Hiroshima 😊
Oh, I see, You can't wait to see your family again 🎵
Please pray for the countries of the world that are in conflict at this very moment in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park🍀🍀
The view of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea from Miyajima in Hiroshima, and the wooden and nail-less Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni City are a must-see !
We also didn't plan on visting Japan. We actually had tickets booked for Cape Town. But we are glad we explored Tokyo, even if it was expensive! The Shinkansen to Osaka was fun. We found we liked Osaka more than Tokyo! Good luck on the travels! sigmed a fellow traveler who returned home 😢
Thank you so much! So glad to hear you loved Japan as well
This is amazing, and I’m glad you grabbed the SUICA card. It’s like the universal debit card for everything, literally, in Japan. I highly suggest you go to a Japanese supermarket, the best way to dive into the life of a local. They have fresh food there that gets 50% off stickers around 7pm (near closing).
Thank you so much for the advice! We were able to try out some of the Japanese food and it was sooo good. Honestly some of our favourite dishes in the world haha
日本にようこそ！ 羽田空港からタクシーで川崎駅近くのホテルに泊まり、銀柳街を通りヨドバシカメラに寄り電車で東京へ・・・ここから始まるんだね。
Wow excited!
Thanks for following along!
I totally love to see you both travel around.. there is this honest fun casual vibe that you both carry! Lots of love from india❤
Thank you so much!! We miss being in India too!
I love how you enjoy all your new experiences!
Thank you! There’s so much to see and experience and we intend to enjoy every moment of it 😊
Hostel name plz? Love this video and series!❤
Glad you're enjoying! It was called Tokyo Guest House Ouji Music Lounge. Lovely hostel!
