Loved this video 🤩 Probably my favorite one from Japan as we showed so many different places (pretty much all the Must-visit attractions in Kyoto). Since it’s a very complete and longer video than usual, it took more hours for Chris to edit but I’m very proud of him as (in my humble opinion) he did a really great job. I already told him in person but I thought he deserves a public comment as well 😂❤️ Hope you guys will enjoy the video too! Thanks for watching and supporting us 🙏🏼
I’m a former television anchor with a degree in journalism and a masters in physics. My Son is in the Airforce. I’m planning to visit in early fall 2024. I never usually weigh in on YT vids, but I must say you guys are natural talent. The pans and swirls of your camera, your natural acuity for what makes our Hearts sing is awesome. Please continue to put out fantastic videos. Truly enjoyable, informative and esthetically beautiful. Namaste:)
An epic ending to a brilliant Japan series. Yes Carol is right to sing your praises Chris, week after week your filming, vloging and editing never loses quality and always great content. Have really enjoyed your parents being part of the adventure…hope to see them again soon, I so envy their endless energy and stamina! 👏🤗
We just got back to America after spending 3 months in Japan and I already miss it! The people, the politeness, the cleanliness, the toilets, the quite subways and trains not to mention the amazing sites! Make sure you check out the 300 ft Buddha in Kotoku-in located at Kamakura if you haven’t already been! Have a great time!
Excellent video again. I loved your summary evaluation at the end. It is really amazing how such an ancient culture, with its own architecture, religious manifestations, eating culture, language and writing system, etc. can develop uniquely in the world, separate from western culture, and still manifest human universals that tie us together as a human race with similar needs and desires. Thanks for battling the crowds and doing all the walking so that I could have a good look at Japan!
Loved all your videos of Japan. Such a beautiful and amazing country. I hope you manage to visit the Inland Seaway area when you return. Thank you for bringing the world into our homes and allowing us to share from afar in your amazing experiences.
Kyoto!! outrageously beautiful. The river tours bamboo forest really nice. My favorite would be all of the old wooden buildings everywhere. The Japanese temples gardens and scenery are so unique and amazing. Probably my favorite city in Japan. 😊
Such a magical place! Even while Chris and Carol makes so good videos that travelling to Japan becomes almost pointless, I would still love to visit one day! Thanks for another top video 👍
Acompanhei esses vídeos de vocês desse país maravilhoso e sem igual. Um sonho de criança conhecê-lo algum dia, e vocês me fizeram sentir um pouco dessa sensação. Só tenho a agradecer a vocês, Chris e Carol, por me inspirar com tantas viagens maravilhosas! O Japão é um sonho de criança... De um cara que cresceu nos anos 80 no Brasil e que viu esse país como um símbolo de avanço e tecnologia, além da sua cultura tão envolvente, misteriosa e bela! Foi demais curtir essa viagem com vocês amigos! Muito obrigado pelos vídeos. Saúde para toda a família e que vocês façam uma outra bela jornada agora na China! Valeu heróis!
Wonderful tour thank you Chris and Carol. Enjoy your future trips. Thank you for showing all these wonderful places in Japan. I’ve only got a few more days and I’ll be there myself. 🎉😊
Since coming back from Japan trip a month ago, I miss it so much, but thanks to you guys that I can still live vicariously through your lens. Thank you for trekking to most of the place my family and I have been in Japan. I'm a huge fan of your channel and looking forward to watching your travel playlist.
Carol & Chris. Your travels are inspirational, and are my go to for authentic and real portrayal of travel. Definitely my style! Thank you both - such a great, complementary team. My next trip (I’m a New Zealander) later this year includes Crete and Naxos - inspired by your experiences and also Anthony Bourdain. Keep up the great work.
Fascinating videos, where you can go to a place that has snow to another place that beautiful beaches even the water is cold lol I love all the different foods, especially authenticity matcha tea looking forward to your next video
Great videos on Japan. It seems like a spectacular place. I’m looking forward to your videos in China. I lived there for eight years. I highly suggest Zhang Jia Jie (where Avatar was filmed at), Xi’an (Terracotta Warriors, amazing food street in the city and outside of the city), Beijing (Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, eat a Beijing hotpot, etc, etc), Chengdu (Sichuan hotpot, Leshan Giant Buddha, Pandas), Shandong Province for Qingdao (occupied by the Germans/famous for beer, beautiful coastal city, has Mt. Laoshan)and Tai’an to climb Mount Tai, Guilin to take a boat up the Li River to Yangshuo (one way, 4 hrs, drink lots of water, be careful of the sun, but the view is like you’re on a different planet. The limestone mountains are spectacular! I could recommend a ton more. I was there eight years and travelled all the time, but couldn’t see even half of what I wanted…
We were actually in Kyoto when this vlog came out. We had been anticipating it and really enjoyed your take on all the city has to offer. It was great to almost cross paths with you.
Love Mom's "Fake News" shirt > a fantastic selection (especially for Westerners) traveling the World. Continued thanks Carol & Chris for taking us along helping to break through Western propaganda showing us 1st hand just how absolutely amazing other Regions truly are > of course Japan not nearly as much Western stigma as compared to Countries like China > even so, a good statement to make when traveling abroad... helping to further unite us All👍🙏
I saw the news a few days ago that after the world's largest 7-11 is located in Taiwan, the world's largest Starbucks will be located in Taipei. In the future, you will have two more world attractions when you come to Taiwan! The way you hold chopsticks is very standard. In fact, don’t worry too much. Chopsticks are just tools for eating. Holding chopsticks is not a competition! That river is really beautiful, and it makes people suddenly feel like traveling through time and space! If you fall into the river and come out again, it may be the bathhouse of ancient Rome (haha, that is the plot of a Japanese science fiction movie)! The landscape behind the big banana chair is so beautiful, no wonder it has become a popular photo spot for tourists! What you mentioned last is actually something I also have heard from Japanese people saying that they refuse foreign guests because they are afraid of poor service! In fact, I think that may be an excuse, but it is mainly due to nationality and personal factors! I'm sad to hear that next time you are going to that country, a lot of food there is fake and made with chemical raw materials! I have evidence and I will pass it on to you privately if necessary! Be careful in everything, I won't write my comment next time until you leave that country! I will only tell you privately if necessary! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😄👏
@@JumpingPlaces Your Instagram has blocked my account and I can no longer send you any messages! I forgot to remind you, maybe I told you last year, as soon as you upload videos from that country, your channel starts to be monitored by them! It has proved that UA-cam helps that country. I have seen many promotional comments written by their people in your newest video, and the same fake writings has appeared on many channels!
What? Fake food is only for display in shops so the customers have an idea what to order lol you’re a basher don’t mind this guy he’s a Korean or Chinese who hates japan maybe lol
The statues you referred to as dogs are actually foxes (kitsune), and are associated with Inari Shrines (dedicated to rice, fertility, agriculture, etc.). The kitsune serve as messengers (to the Shinto spirits) and guardians (similar to the lion-dogs, the Komainu). Also, besides what you mentioned regarding shrines versus temples, Shinto Shrines usually display the Crest of the Imperial Family of Japan, whereas Temples associated with the Hongwanji sect of Buddhism in Japan, present a wisteria crest. You will also find a swastika corresponding to the Jodo Shinshu sect of Buddhism (though swastikas are also used to indicate the locations of Buddhist Temples on maps in general), representing peace, good luck, etc. Ironically, the Nazis employed a benevolent symbol that long preceded their evil regime. Also, Todaiji Temple in Nara (housing the Daibutsu or Great Buddha) is the largest wooden building in the world. It was completely rebuilt in 1709, and is only 70% the size of the original structure. Moreover, nails were not used in the construction. The wooden structure consists of interlocking pieces.
Next time you visit Kyoto there is a shogun’s house with so-called nightingale floors that were deliberately built to squeak when stepped onto warn against ninjas sneaking in to kill him!! Very unique burglar alarm.
hello Chris and Carol, I am from Peru but living in San Francsico California, I loved it when you were in Peru and now in my other favourite country (Japan) I follow all your trips and please keep up with the good quality. By the way, I met someone in Brazil and I go there all the time.
Hi Greetings from Gold Coast Australia. I have followed you both for many years. I always enjoy your high quality videos. I have booked a trip to Japan, as many other Australians, seems everyone is going over and not just for skiing. I am visiting many of the same towns. Thank you for mentioning being turned away from restaurants, I will have to pre warn my friends. Keep us the great work.
I’m from Japan and totally enjoyed your videos! It made me miss my country a lot! I’m sorry some restaurants turned you away! It does happen to Japanese locals as well. I think especially the ones that have been in the business for so long often times have their way of running their business and that could be harsh, rude and confusing to even locals. It’s cool you were chill about it! I feel also how some Japanese are just intimidated to deal with foreigners could be one of the reasons they end up rejecting to have foreigners. It’s lame. But, hey, that’s their loss! Also, the recent years’ hype to trip to Japan is causing the over-tourism there, the country is just the size of California, and there’s a possibility some restaurants might have had some bitter expériences with tourists from foreign countries in the past. Well, who knows! Again, while it seems odd and wrong for them to turned down their potential customers, that’s their loss! But,sorry, if it gave you some awkward experiences! Thank you for the beautiful videos!
It’s been so great seeing Japan through your eyes. I ended up falling in love with Japan last year. I think you guys got lucky going at a slow time because when I went in September, there were hoards of tourist in the famous spots by 10am. Especially in Kyoto.
yeah i think it is because this was a few weeks after the cherry blossom season which is probably when the majority of people tried to come, so we got a bit of a quieter time
Some of the history I learned when I lived in Japan. Is Kyoto, temples....some a thousand years old and still are perfect. The reason , the master skills it took to build them was passed down in secret. Father to son, going back tens of generations. Understand what you see was all done by hand tools. The engineers who designed roof lines to extend that far out, was not able to be done anywhere else , a thousand years ago. Also, all of the forests around the temples are more than just for looks. The Japanese monks, plant the same trees, like a thousand years ago.... They protect them and let them grow for hundreds of years, watching over them... The reason is so the master craftmen, will have replacement, timbers of the same trees as the very first ones used. And trust they are protected trees, and when they cut one down , it's a big deal. And when one has to be used. A new tree will be planted and watched over for the hundreds of years to follow..... Understanding this, when you see, just temples.... You will then see much more.. and you'll understand why the towns seem, quiet, people all are respectful to not be loud... Tokyo, is 100% the opsitits . What I came to learn is this. Japan, 2000 years ago, were building temples, no one else could. Africa 2000 years ago, lived in mud huts, running around naked in jungles. The middle east 2000 were killing each other fighting over who stole who's Camel. Europe 2000 years ago... Lived in cabins, then go to China 4000 years ago, they had advance MILTTARY, tudys the stars. Built full blown city's, greater than the Romens. As you two jump around, buy the small book called ECHANG , ( Cannon of change ) yeng and yang , its. 5000 years old and still in print... The China's empires, was to be lived to be given the secret of life by GOD. 8 symbols, they have been hide in 64 riddles. Decode the 64 riddles, you will be showen the secret of life.... INJOY.., Budda, studied the book, and was heard saying. I wish I had 50 more years, to study, e chang. Then he died.
Thank you for introducing my country Japan. Even in Kyoto alone, there are many other sightseeing spots worth visiting such as Toji Temple which has the tallest 5-story pagoda, World Heritage site, and Sanjusangendo Temple with a 1,000 golden buddhism statues, and Nijo Castle, also a World Heritage site. To really enjoy Japan, come back again next time to see other places. My recommendations are Shirakawa-go, Takayama City, the Blue Pond and Shikisai No Oka in Biei Town of Hokkaido, Hakodate, Nikko, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Kanazawa, Narai-juku, Hiroshima, Kintaikyo, Hita City, Sengan-en in Kagoshima, and Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama City, etc.
Great video Chris and Carol, Kyoto was one of my favourite places on my Japan trip, I also really liked Hakone and Miyajima Island. I highly recommend for your next trip! And after watching your Japan series I will be making sure I go to Okinawa and Kusatsu for mine! 😊
You guys made all your Japan videos spactacular, I feel like adding it to my list and as always impressive content great work.👍 Looking forward to your next adventures.. Watching from Australia❤🇦🇺😃👍
This is my ultimate dream place to visit! I ve dreamt about it all my life ❤ our next big trip will be Japan 🙏🏼🤞🏼 I am so excited about China 🇨🇳 this is very high on my bucket list I m curious to see which will be the destinations as your first visit! I hope you will enjoy it and look forward to seeing your vlogs and what you make of it!👌🏼 Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Chris & Carol, we have been doing a marathon on your videos since last week starting from your earliest trips 5 years ago. Have already been a sub for years now though but it’s been great to see the evolution of your growth with respect to filming and travel experiences. Hopefully you’ll make a stop in San Diego one day, lots to do and explore here and we would be happy to link up to show you around. Also wondering does Chris’ dad speak Portuguese too? Safe and continued travels to you two!
We actually went to san diego but it was before the vlogging days, seemed amazing there :D Yes my dad also speak Portuguese, he lived in Brazil when he was younger also and that is how he met my mother
Lol! I can confirm your chopstick game could use some work! I think you were using the fat end which would make them upside down. Hold onto the top stick with just your thumb and first finger. This is the finger that moves the chopstick. Then with your other 3 fingers you hold the second stick firmly. This stick does not move at all giving you stability. All the movement is with the top stick with one finger. That ends your unsolicited chopstick lesson!! Have you tries Uni yet? It is a very Japanese delicacy! Sea urchin roe. Happy Travels
When we are kids in the philippines. We have the dirty ice cream selling on the streets, ice cream on the cone or plastic glass and there is also bread...we like the ice cream on the bread.
Geisha are highly trained professionals, educated, witty, perfect manners. they are successors of the culture in Kyoto. We need to pay respect them. I'm glad it became ban to take photos of them .😊
What was exactly the name from the boat tour and location(adresse). I was 2 times in Japan at spring season. Now I wanted to travel with my wife in autumn. It’s her first long distance travel so I wanted to enjoy the time together with her. Otherwise amazing video 👍🏽 Best regards Adjei
Omg! Your site just popped up and I absolutely love Kyoto. You came up to a poster of a geisha wearing a blue kimono. I’ve been trying to find this poster can you help me….please? Love your video!❤
There are some restaurants and bars in Japan that even Japanese people cannot enter. Only a small number of Japanese people enter there. We Japanese understand that so we don't try to enter such restaurants. However, tourists from overseas don't know this, so they overreact when they try to enter and are turned away, or when they see a sign that says "No Foreigners Allowed." It's a way of doing business and if you can't guarantee their livelihood for the rest of your life, accept it.
understand if it's some private club but it wasn't always the case. One restaurant literally had their restaurant name translated in english and their outside menu was all translated in english, when we arrived they said we couldn't enter because we don't speak Japanese lol. Another time we entered a restaurant and there were 2 tables of foreigners but the owner told us it was closed, as we are walking out one of the tables turn to us and tell us that it's open which then created a kind of awkward situation when they saw the guy telling us it was closed again. Overall it happened about 6 times and the majority never seemed like some private style place, just super touristy places. Either way i can understand why foreigners find it strange because this kind of thing basically never happens anywhere else, being turned away when you are trying to support someones business
@@JumpingPlaces I see. That feels a little strange, doesn't it? I think 6 times is a lot. But I think it's too subjective to say that it doesn't happen elsewhere. This is because Japanese tourists are often talked about being refused entry to restaurants in Europe. A while ago, a Japanese UA-camr was making a fuss about being kicked out after being told there were no seats even though there were obviously empty seats. In the comments section of that video, I told the Japanese UA-camr, "If you don't know the real reason why someone kicked you out, you shouldn't make a fuss about it." There may be a reason behind it that you can understand if you listen to it. If you think you should be allowed to enter the store for any reason, you're being arrogant, and that's not how Japanese law works.
We didn't make a fuss about it, we just left the places and ate somewhere else and didn't even mention it in those videos at the time. I'm just saying that it was the only kind of negative thing there that happened. We don't have to pretend we like everything everywhere we go, we are allowed to like and dislike things.
@@JumpingPlaces Of course you don't have to pretend you like everything everywhere you go. There are many bad things in Japan too. But what I'm saying is that we need to be a little more thoughtful when deciding whether we like something or not.
I had a great time there last year. Loved it! There’s a video on my channel if you’re interested about where I went, which is a lot of where you went too!
All these places seem super touristy, I hope Japan doesn't become like all these other countries that don't set restrictions on touristic sites and communities
i think we were doing around 15,000 steps on our days out, lots of walking haha. Carol has a smart watch that tracks it. Some days we would only go out half of the day though.
Great video again. If you guys liked the Bamboo park, you need to go to Maui. It has the best bamboo forest by far. Hit me up if you ever want tips on Hawaii for travels. I lived on Maui for 5 years and know a lot secrets that the locals keep to themselves.

入店を断られたのは外国人だからではなく京都ならではの「一見さんお断り」とゆうものではないかな？

It’s cool you were chill about it! I feel also how some Japanese are just intimidated to deal with foreigners could be one of the reasons they end up rejecting to have foreigners. It’s lame. But, hey, that’s their loss! Also, the recent years’ hype to trip to Japan is causing the over-tourism there, the country is just the size of California, and there’s a possibility some restaurants might have had some bitter expériences with tourists from foreign countries in the past. Well, who knows! Again, while it seems odd and wrong for them to turned down their potential customers, that’s their loss! But,sorry, if it gave you some awkward experiences! Thank you for the beautiful videos!
It’s been so great seeing Japan through your eyes. I ended up falling in love with Japan last year. I think you guys got lucky going at a slow time because when I went in September, there were hoards of tourist in the famous spots by 10am. Especially in Kyoto.
yeah i think it is because this was a few weeks after the cherry blossom season which is probably when the majority of people tried to come, so we got a bit of a quieter time
Some of the history I learned when I lived in Japan. Is Kyoto, temples....some a thousand years old and still are perfect. The reason , the master skills it took to build them was passed down in secret. Father to son, going back tens of generations. Understand what you see was all done by hand tools. The engineers who designed roof lines to extend that far out, was not able to be done anywhere else , a thousand years ago. Also, all of the forests around the temples are more than just for looks. The Japanese monks, plant the same trees, like a thousand years ago.... They protect them and let them grow for hundreds of years, watching over them... The reason is so the master craftmen, will have replacement, timbers of the same trees as the very first ones used.
And trust they are protected trees, and when they cut one down , it's a big deal. And when one has to be used. A new tree will be planted and watched over for the hundreds of years to follow..... Understanding this, when you see, just temples.... You will then see much more.. and you'll understand why the towns seem, quiet, people all are respectful to not be loud... Tokyo, is 100% the opsitits .
What I came to learn is this. Japan, 2000 years ago, were building temples, no one else could. Africa 2000 years ago, lived in mud huts, running around naked in jungles. The middle east 2000 were killing each other fighting over who stole who's Camel. Europe 2000 years ago... Lived in cabins, then go to China 4000 years ago, they had advance MILTTARY, tudys the stars. Built full blown city's, greater than the Romens. As you two jump around, buy the small book called ECHANG , ( Cannon of change ) yeng and yang , its. 5000 years old and still in print... The China's empires, was to be lived to be given the secret of life by GOD.
8 symbols, they have been hide in 64 riddles. Decode the 64 riddles, you will be showen the secret of life.... INJOY.., Budda, studied the book, and was heard saying. I wish I had 50 more years, to study, e chang. Then he died.
I spent my 24th year in Japan as a musician. It was absolutely the best decision ever. 1995
Nice! The entire year?
It’s already nonsense to doubt whether Kyoto is worth visiting or not. If you don’t know Kyoto, you know nothing essential about Japan.
❤🎉Carol and Chris - I love your videos, very inspirational! Keep up with the amazing work 😊
Thank you for introducing my country Japan. Even in Kyoto alone, there are many other sightseeing spots worth visiting such as Toji Temple which has the tallest 5-story pagoda, World Heritage site, and Sanjusangendo Temple with a 1,000 golden buddhism statues, and Nijo Castle, also a World Heritage site. To really enjoy Japan, come back again next time to see other places. My recommendations are Shirakawa-go, Takayama City, the Blue Pond and Shikisai No Oka in Biei Town of Hokkaido, Hakodate, Nikko, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Kanazawa, Narai-juku, Hiroshima, Kintaikyo, Hita City, Sengan-en in Kagoshima, and Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama City, etc.
Japan is beautiful! Another great video.
Hope you come back to Philippines guys..good luck on your journey.a fan from Cebu city
Think we will be back there next year :D
Another amazing video! Indeed Kyoto is worth all the walking So excited for your China videos.
お箸🥢を上手に使えていますよ🎉
Great video Chris and Carol, Kyoto was one of my favourite places on my Japan trip, I also really liked Hakone and Miyajima Island. I highly recommend for your next trip!
And after watching your Japan series I will be making sure I go to Okinawa and Kusatsu for mine! 😊
Hey love your videos.. one item when you talked about using chopsticks you had them backwards but it all works. Keep up the amazing travels
Welcome to beautiful city of Kyoto, Japan this week to tours this amazing Asian city in May of 2024❤❤❤
You guys made all your Japan videos spactacular, I feel like adding it to my list and as always impressive content great work.👍 Looking forward to your next adventures.. Watching from Australia❤🇦🇺😃👍

Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
you will love it, just go to the sites early and you should have a relaxed time like we did :D
Amazing. pool drinks please. C and C i love the food parts. Arygato.
love you guys so much
Chris & Carol, we have been doing a marathon on your videos since last week starting from your earliest trips 5 years ago. Have already been a sub for years now though but it’s been great to see the evolution of your growth with respect to filming and travel experiences.
Hopefully you’ll make a stop in San Diego one day, lots to do and explore here and we would be happy to link up to show you around. Also wondering does Chris’ dad speak Portuguese too?
Safe and continued travels to you two!
We actually went to san diego but it was before the vlogging days, seemed amazing there :D Yes my dad also speak Portuguese, he lived in Brazil when he was younger also and that is how he met my mother
Now i understand the popularity with Japan. It truly rates a must see bucket list destination, so i thank Jumping Places for that. . . :>/
Definitely!
小路は私有地が多く、舞妓さんを追いかけて一緒に写真を撮ろうとしたりして急いで稽古に行く邪魔をしたりする外国人旅行者が多くて、あの様に通行禁止になっています。日本のメディアではオーバーツーリズムと言って問題視されています。
UA-camで外国人旅行者に注意喚起して頂いて、ありがとうございます🙇♀️
SO FUN !!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!
Lol! I can confirm your chopstick game could use some work! I think you were using the fat end which would make them upside down.
Hold onto the top stick with just your thumb and first finger. This is the finger that moves the chopstick. Then with your other 3 fingers you hold the second stick firmly. This stick does not move at all giving you stability. All the movement is with the top stick with one finger. That ends your unsolicited chopstick lesson!! Have you tries Uni yet? It is a very Japanese delicacy! Sea urchin roe. Happy Travels
Lovely thank you for sharing
Great great detailed video. Just wondering how long the boat trip duration was?
Another great video. Thanks.
This felt very close to my experience of Kyoto in 2018. Nice video
When we are kids in the philippines. We have the dirty ice cream selling on the streets, ice cream on the cone or plastic glass and there is also bread...we like the ice cream on the bread.
First time having it like this, enjoyed it :D
Geisha are highly trained professionals, educated, witty, perfect manners. they are successors of the culture in Kyoto. We need to pay respect them. I'm glad it became ban to take photos of them .😊
For what purpose??
Loved the bamboo forest boat tour.
Carol Rocks!!!! TY True Words!!!!
Is your accommodation an Airbnb? Please share link, thanks you so much!
Inari also means shrine that worship the god of harvest.
It also means fox 🦊 that’s why you see fox statues there.
What was exactly the name from the boat tour and location(adresse). I was 2 times in Japan at spring season. Now I wanted to travel with my wife in autumn. It’s her first long distance travel so I wanted to enjoy the time together with her.
Otherwise amazing video 👍🏽
Best regards

That hotel next to the river is called Suiran and you were right about the price: their cheapest room is 950 euros per night.
Actually, the one in the video is Hoshinoya Arashiyama. Suiran is on the same side of the river they were shooting from.
@@cristmh Ah! That one is only 750 euros per night ;-)!
@@ninettemurk7492 - Yes, definitely not cheap. I think we paid $650/nt in 2019. It is one of the most spectacular properties in Kyoto for sure though.
Omg! Your site just popped up and I absolutely love Kyoto. You came up to a poster of a geisha wearing a blue kimono. I’ve been trying to find this poster can you help me….please? Love your video!❤
Love your videos😊
❤️❤️❤️
It is not a dog but a fox stature at the Fushimi-inari Shrine, which is said to be a messenger of Gods.
Thanks, yes we wrote that on the screen :D
Hello can you kindly put a link to this Airbnb looking for a place for a family of 5 similar to you
My favourite city in Japan!
Very interesting Chris and Carol.

Very nice - beautiful 👍🙂
I like your Widios,from Swden🥰
There are some restaurants and bars in Japan that even Japanese people cannot enter. Only a small number of Japanese people enter there. We Japanese understand that so we don't try to enter such restaurants. However, tourists from overseas don't know this, so they overreact when they try to enter and are turned away, or when they see a sign that says "No Foreigners Allowed." It's a way of doing business and if you can't guarantee their livelihood for the rest of your life, accept it.
understand if it's some private club but it wasn't always the case. One restaurant literally had their restaurant name translated in english and their outside menu was all translated in english, when we arrived they said we couldn't enter because we don't speak Japanese lol. Another time we entered a restaurant and there were 2 tables of foreigners but the owner told us it was closed, as we are walking out one of the tables turn to us and tell us that it's open which then created a kind of awkward situation when they saw the guy telling us it was closed again. Overall it happened about 6 times and the majority never seemed like some private style place, just super touristy places. Either way i can understand why foreigners find it strange because this kind of thing basically never happens anywhere else, being turned away when you are trying to support someones business
That sucks specially if you're hungry and you get turned away for not speaking Japanese. 😮
@@JumpingPlaces I see. That feels a little strange, doesn't it? I think 6 times is a lot. But I think it's too subjective to say that it doesn't happen elsewhere. This is because Japanese tourists are often talked about being refused entry to restaurants in Europe. A while ago, a Japanese UA-camr was making a fuss about being kicked out after being told there were no seats even though there were obviously empty seats. In the comments section of that video, I told the Japanese UA-camr, "If you don't know the real reason why someone kicked you out, you shouldn't make a fuss about it." There may be a reason behind it that you can understand if you listen to it. If you think you should be allowed to enter the store for any reason, you're being arrogant, and that's not how Japanese law works.
We didn't make a fuss about it, we just left the places and ate somewhere else and didn't even mention it in those videos at the time. I'm just saying that it was the only kind of negative thing there that happened. We don't have to pretend we like everything everywhere we go, we are allowed to like and dislike things.
@@JumpingPlaces Of course you don't have to pretend you like everything everywhere you go. There are many bad things in Japan too. But what I'm saying is that we need to be a little more thoughtful when deciding whether we like something or not.
I had a great time there last year. Loved it! There’s a video on my channel if you’re interested about where I went, which is a lot of where you went too!
All these places seem super touristy, I hope Japan doesn't become like all these other countries that don't set restrictions on touristic sites and communities
well i guess it has already become that way because they have begun setting some rules
@@JumpingPlaces good I'm happy to hear that
yeah what part of no pics dont u get
Think you need to ask yourself that question lol
Under 100 days until I make my first trip to Japan. Curious how much you find yourself walking each day?
i think we were doing around 15,000 steps on our days out, lots of walking haha. Carol has a smart watch that tracks it. Some days we would only go out half of the day though.
Bamboo from Kyoto helped Thomas Edison make the light bulb.
Great video again. If you guys liked the Bamboo park, you need to go to Maui. It has the best bamboo forest by far. Hit me up if you ever want tips on Hawaii for travels. I lived on Maui for 5 years and know a lot secrets that the locals keep to themselves.
ASSISTI O VIDEO E CURTIR PRINT ❤❤❤
