Introvert's Solo Travel In Japan | A Beautiful Chaos in Tokyo - pt. 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- This trip is one of the most memorable trips I have ever had. I always thought traveling to Japan as an introvert would be so easy due to its culture. But after I got there, I realized that it was quite stressful because I was worried about bothering other people all the time. Lots of chaos happened on the first day but it ends with a great dinner with Vivian. Haven’t been that happy for a while, and I guess this is what the trip is about. You never know what will happen next.
About me:
I am Francis, a Product Design student in Los Angeles, and currently in Taiwan visiting my mom. I enjoy making my matcha at home and learning about filmmaking. Making UA-cam videos is like my passion project now so I am excited to see what I can create in the future.

Sometimes that's all I want, an introverted trip. I live in Brazil where people are very warm, but sometimes all I want is to be alone and quiet.
I agree. I’m usually the listener. So watching people from a different country doing everyday things is awesome. I did get lonely when I see couples everywhere I go though 😂
verdade, a vida do brasil é bastante agitada, mas me identifico mais com o estilo de vida do japão, apesar de que querendo ou não, o do brasil sempre faz falta
This is very charming honestly. If I went to Japan alone I’d definitely also be awkward in a laid back way, so it’s kinda nice to see someone else representing that!!
Hope you like this vlog. I am currently editing part 2 and having ice matcha latte at home :)
"A beautiful chaos". What a perfect line to summarize life's ups and downs during vacation... and every day really. I hope you continue to see the world through a lense of joy and positivity
@@irrose1185thank you. I will keep working on it 💪🏻💪🏻
❤
You know what francis
Your first 15 seconds of video makes me like and subscribe your channel.
Coz this is exactly me.
And you perfectly summarised "A Beautiful Chaos" i would add "Life is a mess which makes it beautiful ".
Love from Mumbai, India :)
huge respect for being a tourist, not knowing what's okay or not, but also not playing the gaijin card and just doing your best!
That was not awkward. That was so real and true. A very wholesome and very beautifully made video! :D
One of the best things about solo travel is when things doesn't go the way i planned i can just laugh about it instead of feeling guilty.
I love this! Most vlogs are too polished, and don’t show the mistakes that we all make. I went to Japan earlier this year, and I definitely made a few of the same ones as you, as well as a few more. Thank you 🙏🏼
I love how wholesome your trip is!!!! Filming yourself alone must be stressful too!
Thanks! And yeah, filming in public is a huge challenge for me.
What a wonderful ending to the video. It made me teary when you said it was maybe one of your happiest moments in 2023. Lovely dude.
this was so wholesome ❤ awaiting for the part 2 !! chaotic yet beautiful
Love the wholesome vibes, got me keeping a eye out for a part 2 😄
I really love your energy and you definitely represent us awkward introverts a lot!! Going to watch the rest of the Japan series and I hope all things go well with Vivian, you were so cute and happy being with her 😊
you are an inspiration. Thanks for making this videos and many more!
I went to the same restaurant when I was soloing back in November! The food there is amazing but I nearly went deaf because I sitting just in front then they hit the gong for someone's birthday. Japan is amazing. I love Japan.
Haha I agree. They yell to welcome new customers and it scares me sometimes 😂
I am so happy for you that you had a great time. The restaurant looked like so much fun and Vivian was a lot of fun too! Thanks so much for taking us along!🥰
I go to Tokyo in less than a week and this is all my fears in one vlog! On the plus side, I can see you survived them all.
Niiiice ! How do you find Tokyo now that you're there ?
This is beautiful, Francis! I'm wishing you an amazing journey wherever life takes you. You started with a statement that you are traveling with no money, yet you bought chocolates for your date. That is a real man right there.
I'm an introvert and did a solo trip myself in Oct 2023 ... your vlog is so relatable! Beautiful yet chaotic. 😂
Dude I love the fact that did not hide any fail scenes and kept it real. Awesome vlog!
Also being an introvert, I like this video a lot. I just really can relate with you. Keep going!
I'm so happy I've come across your vlog, I can relate with you a lot because I'm also so awkward! But at least you've already been abroad alone, while I only go out of the country when I'm with my whole family. Your vlog is like a breath of fresh air from other travel vlogs. I'm now your subscriber. And I also like your other video where you talk about not drawing for yourself anymore in art school. Keep up the videos, I will be rooting for you!
Thanks a lot!!
I love this. I have just got back from a month-long Japan trip with my wife, and your video is so excellent and wholesome and nostalgic! Thanks so much
Thanks for watching!
what a great vlog,I love every bit of it :) authenticity is key
Awesome video brother, your personality is what makes it great and not just another vlog. Thank you for this!
Thanks a lot!
first video i've seen of yours n i loved it enough to subscribe !! your filming style is very raw n made the vlog feel warm despite the stressful moments ! best of luck on any future travels and i'm excited to continue watching your japan vlogs
This was an incredible journey. Thanks for taking us with you! And love your unique, authentic style.
Thank you 🙏
I just fell upon your vlog channel and I love it. Everything you say is so relatable. I love Japan and Asia in general. Thank You. Happy 2024.
Happy 2024 😊
so much fun to watch :-) loved it :-)
Loved this Vlog, I am going there in 3 weeks, also as a solo introvert traveller. I am hyped.
I‘m also planing a small trip to Japan because I just don‘t have anyone to come with me but the idea sounds cooler the more I think about it. Enjoyed the video!
I like your style Francis….look forward to watching the next installment
So glad to have come across your vlog ❤ so raw and peaceful. Just got home from my 3rd trip to japan myself and indeed it is a mecca for people who have high functioning social anxiety like me. 😊
This is such a wonderfully real format of vlogging! I - and I'm sure other shy filmmaking enthusiasts - would be curious to see how you approach making these. If you ever get the chance that would be lovely to hear. No pressure though!! ☺
It's a beautiful chaos... chaotic but beautiful.
You are so funny 😂, love your channel. Time to binge watch
Your videos are so peaceful to watch. Keep up the good work! 💪🏾
Thanks 🙏
matcha fixes everything! love from germany! ❤😊
Great vlog and sick quality dude!
This was a random recommendation for me but I think I'm going to stay for the ride.
I just enjoy how you make the shot, I know it is a lot of work for preparing, so thanks for that
I liked this vlog, it was comforting
I love your vlog and it motived me to do the same when I am going to Japan this summer ! Soo excited to see the pt.2 !!
Thank you 😊
I just came back from a two week trip to Japan. I spent Christmas, New years, and my birthday all by myself for the first time. It was absolutely the best experience of my life, and seeing your video reminded me so much of my time there. Japan is definitely an introvert's dream. Loved your video and vlogging style [:
Great vlog! Beautiful cinematography!
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this journey. I’m an introvert too and travelling to Japan by myself soon. Travelling alone is so scary but so rewarding at the same time, you discover a lot about yourself.
You can travel safely by avoiding roads less traveled.

Hey man! Great videos, color, composition, like everything! Keep on going!
I love the spontaneous little inconveniences in the video. 😁

This is the most genuine travel vlogs I have seen. I will be traveling alone to Japan this Sept for 2 weeks. I feel you. I am also an introvert/empath, good luck to me lol. Nice to see someone relatable. Thank you.
Thank you too :)
This is so cute, I can’t help but to root you on! Best wishes.
I’ve been watching a bunch of Japan Travel vlogs and yours came up in my recommended. I loved your vlog, the cinematography and even the ‘awkward’ moments … i think that’s what i love most 🤭😅 can’t wait for part 2! :) Subscribed ✨
Thanks a lot. There are so many awkward moments when I talk to the camera on the street alone 😂
@@francisthechange we all have them 😂 it’s what makes the video charming 🫶🏾
I like your outlook on life. Makes me feel like I can do something like that too 😊
This is a nice vlog. So cozy and awkward (not in a bad way awkward) but yeah idk is just very relatable ❤
im so glad i stumbled upon this video. im a introvert myself and im planning my first out of country trip to japan. hoping to go in october; quite nervous about it because i never traveled out of the country before. but i want to start stepping out of my comfort zone
This was so funny and great to watch
Your cinematography is very beautiful and you are so wholesome as well! Great video!
Thank you so much!
this is so scuffed 😭 I love it ❤
I love your wholesome personality! I am Taiwanese like you, I might travel to Japan this year for the same reason as you.
i was just gonna comment and say “ wow your b roll is impressive” and then the card situation came up. wonderful wholesome tokyo video. so different ans very nicely done
Being alone in Tokyo is such a natural occurance.
The vlog was awesome 🙃
I'm so sick of all the fake feeling vlog trips. This is like a breath of fresh air!
I love your video it was really calm and chill
Haha thanks. I’m glad it’s not too chaotic.
It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos ✨
Btw, Happy New Year🎉
Thanks a lot! Happy New Year 🎊
Love your attitude through all the bs🙌 great vlogs my guy
Thank you 🙏
Nice Video Francis, loved the simplicity. 😊 And also gave me some motivation to keep up creating simple videos.
Thanks a lot. I’m still trying to figure out my style as well. Right now I’m sticking with videos that make myself happy.
indeed a beautiful chaos 🤭🤩
Olivia and I loved the video! Hope you had a great time there!
Thank you 😊, I had a great time there and gain 5 pounds. Trying to fix that before school start.
Love the video ❤ love from South Africa 🇿🇦
love the cinematography
Thank you ✨✨
Not awkward at all, this really was fun. Do miss Japan, hope I have the opportunity to visit Tokyo again, next year. Thanks for sharing, cheers from Germany 😊🙏🏻
Everyone should travel solo if they have a chance because it really gives you a chance to just soak it all in.
I like the way you edited the video. Thank you for sharing and inspiring vlog. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vlog! I felt your chagrin about the sim card - it happens!
Oh, I'm so glad that your video was on my home page. I really enjoyed your vlog and sharing your experiences in Tokyo. You are me 35 years ago when I first came from LA to Japan. Can't wait for Part 2! Enjoy your matcha and wishing you a happy, healthy and safe 2024! Cheers!
Thanks for watching. Hope you like the second vlog too!
I enjoyed this video so much
this is such a dream... i really wanna go traveling solo to Japan one day. also love the calming vibes and warm tones of the vlog! (and sidenote: I keep seeing B.I. in you LOL, you really look like him!)
FRANCIS. 😭😭😭 I can’t believe I found your vlog. It made me realize I’m probably a lot more introverted than I thought.
I’m sitting here watching UA-cam while feeling sad, but how you communicate your inner world, it’s soooo incredible. I really see myself in your thoughts.
What you said about your friend you made - I am sooo touched.
And, when you said “having a bad day? Get a matcha”, I am actually drinking matcha right now 😭😭😭😭
Also, THANK YOU for showing the awkwardness of Japan. I love it soo much, but I have sooo much social anxiety there, mainly because as another Asian-American (Filipina) I come from shame cultures and don’t want to be shamed, there! Even though I was! Hahaha
But you made the bumbling through a foreign country, so endearing, and so naturally part of the process. I can’t wait to watch pt 2, and your other vlogs too. Sooo healing. Keep going.
Thank you so much. I’m actually a lot more introverted and awkward before college. I feel like I’m just getting more comfortable with being awkward now haha.
I was also surprised after visiting Japan, the culture is a bit different than I thought. And I definitely need more time to learn about it. Sometimes I think I made the stress up because I don’t understand their culture enough 😂.
An introvert whos doing vlogs, traveling, socializing and going out. Good one
Hehe thx :)
Was also at nishiazabu in shibuya last week! It was super busy and needed to reserve a week out. Great travel vlog, as an ISTP, I approve.
Great video! Happy new year! 🎉
Happy New Year!!

Loved the vlog dude, brings me back to my solo travel in Tokyo ~3 months ago! Hope you had fun 😀

I was watching the vlog and thought it was so well edited/shot you must have 100s of thousands of subscribers! I’m sure you’ll get loads more in no time including this new one here 👋😊💪
Thank you so much!!
Love the hidden subscribe on the mirror @ 9:48 lol. Great video bud! Your style in film is great.
Need more introvert solo trip bro. I support your content! Its a big inspiration for those whom are introverted like me to learn to travel alone.
