- Hello friends! This is our 4th travel vlog and this time, we are in KYOTO, Japan. I combined our first half day and full day in Kyoto so this vlog is longer than intended. Stay tuned for Nara (deer city)!

Kyoto Station to Osaka Station
Chifaja (BBQ Restaurant)
Round One (Arcade)
Day Two:
You will get to see us checking out an amazing grocery store, visit Arashiyama for a temple visit, check out bamboo grove, and eat some of their specialties (tofu and matcha dishes). Also, there are lots of snow in this video so enjoy it! Looks straight out of a movie scene.

Aw it was so snowy when you went I'm jealous! it looks beautiful, good job guys!
It definitely was but was not fun to be in after an hour or two haha! Thank you guys.
I'm going to Japan next March/April. Your vlogs are so helpful! How did you plan your trip? and how did you know where to go? - Thanks for the awesome videos, I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves!
Hello Carissa! Thanks for your comment! We are glad it helped you because that is part of our goal. We use to be a hardcore "japan vlog" viewer ourselves before we went to Japan. So vlogs basically prepped us for the trip, then we did a little research on things we wanted to eat, things to check out, stuff like that. But to be honest, once we got there, we didn't really follow our entire list. Because when you arrive, there is just so much that you end up doing this and that when you come across it. I am thinking of doing an itinerary video though to help some people out on days where they have absolutely no idea on what to do because we definitely had those days.
Thanks for watching us. We genuinely appreciate your comment. Our goal really is to inspire others to travel and enjoy what the world has to offer. Recognition is a bonus. Thank you thank you
You guys are a cute couple
Awh thank you for your sweet comment!
Hey! What dates did you travel to Japan? Love your vlogs! Thanks!
Hey there! We went from Jan 9th to the 25th. Thanks for your comment :D
Hello there...my wife is very impressed with your brow...she wants to know if you had your eyebrows done is Japan. if so, do you mind letting her know where?
Hello! That's awesome. I actually do them myself with makeup every morning! I wish I knew a place to recommend for her to. Let me know if she has any further questions though.
OMG YOUR VIDEOS!!!! im traveling to japan for the first time in october! super excited and your videos are helping me plan, did you buy a JR pass? and if so can it be used as a normal train pass around tokyo
Hey there! Yay, glad that our videos are helping you plan. So excited for your trip! We did not buy the JR Pass and we would recommend buying it if you are going to another big city (e.g., Tokyo to Osaka).

Thanks for the comment my friend! It's very gratifying to know that you enjoyed our video. Japan is our favorite country so far as well. Everyone is so humble and modest and the environment is just so refreshing and fun. I hope one day we get to go back and see the cherry blossoms! Looks like you have a channel too- I'll check it out. Thanks for subscribing!

Katie! Thank you for the comment and always being the first to watch my vids. Seriously always on top of it and I love it haha. Stay tuned for Nara next, I think you'll love the deers.
Kyoto looks amazing! And of

Kyoto is actually a city Mag and I would consider living in. It's so gorgeous and so peaceful! We can't wait for you guys to experience Japan. Can't wait for the vlogs!
I'm so excited for japan and been loving your vlogs, defs subscribed!! You film and edit so well too (my filming is super shaky haha) :D so funny when you were talking about finding your onigiri rolling around underneath the shinkansen seats xD
Thanks so much for checking us out! Glad our videos are making you excited! Thanks- our filming is stable because we use a little tripod and hold onto that, otherwise, it is like an earthquake lol. HAHA I remember that...So funny to think about it. Its like, what's that thing tumbling back and forth by our feet? LOL
May I ask for your list of food in Kyoto from your host? We're heading there in couple months.
Hi there! Thanks for watching~ So excited for you guys. Please email us at wkndtravelers@gmail.com and we will try to share with you through google drive!
awesome vlogs! and getting so excited for our trip in a few weeks. did you guys reserve your seats on the bullet train?
Thank you! I hope our videos hype you guys up for the trip! We bought our tickets at the train station the day we were going (30 min before departure) and opted for reserved seats cause we wanted to get the last row seats for our luggage haha. But we learned that you don't need to reserve if it's not during rush hour time. You can sit anywhere and put your luggage back there cause no one is going to steal.
hi.....what month you visited japan?
Hello there! Sorry for such a delayed response. We went to Japan in January!
What time of year was this? Cherry blossom and snow looks amazing
Hey Sam, sorry for the super late response! We went during January. There was not much cherry blossoms during our trip unfortunately. They bloomed shortly after we left!
Hello! I will be going to japan march of next year. I keep on watching your vlogs to get ideas. Im really having a hard time looking for accomodation tho. Any tips as to where to stay in tokyo?
Hi hi! Oooo that is so exciting, lucky you! Email us at wkndtravelers@gmail.com and we can talk through there in regards to planning your trip. I have a list of things to do and eat and I can definitely help you find a place! Thanks for watching us!
Omg really???? Ok i will email. Thank you soooo much! :)
do you have a link to the airbnb you stayed at in kyoto? :D
Hey! So I had this question the other day so I checked my app to look at my previous stays. Its there but its not listed anymore for some reason which sucks because this was the best place we stayed at! But I'll give you the info, maybe you can find it...On Airbnb, the apartment title was "403B near NIJO castcle calm stay" hosted by Mayumi.
aw yeah it looked really nice! ill look into it! thank you! :D
It was super super nice. The best airbnb we've ever had actually! Hopefully you can find it or the host posts it soon.
Samantha! I looked at my airbnb and saw that the apartment is now back up! Check it out :)

saviorrr!! thank you!!
Love your laugh
Hahaha thank you! It's incredibly obnoxious at times. The place we stayed at in Kyoto was the best place we've ever had. On Airbnb, its specifically called "403B near NIJO castcle calm stay" hosted by Mayumi. I just looked it up and the listing is no longer available though! What?! (I think its because airbnb is illegal in Japan)...
Hey my friend! I checked my account just now and noticed the place is now back up and available. The link is below!

20:47 You guys pro if you can edit in windows movie maker respect
I'm going to Japan next month and was wondering if it was worth getting the jrail pass or should I just pay as I go....staying in Tokyo but planning to go to Osaka and Kyoto for 1 day or two....any input would be helpful. Thanks
Hey there! That is very exciting! I definitely recommend getting the JRail pass for one reason and that is because it is either cheaper or the same price when compared to a roundtrip to Osaka/Kyoto. Our ONE way ticket to Kyoto was about 14000yen ($140 USD) and one way back to Tokyo was 17000yen ($170 USD). The prices vary depending on the train/time you pick. I can't really remember the exact cost but I do remember that the total of our roundtrip was more expensive than the price of a 7 day JR pass. Other than that, I rarely used the JR line in Tokyo or Kyoto/Osaka. Let me know if this helps!
wkndtravelers Thanks this helps alot.
Hi again! Lol. So if you rarely use JR Line, what did you use to commute in Tokyo,Osaka and Kyoto? Sorry, im definitely still learning about the transportation in Japan, so im quite lost
Lol hello! We used the JR line to commute major city to major city but within the cities, we used buses and other lines. Basically whatever google maps recommended us to do haha. So in Tokyo, we used the Tokyo Metro system and the Toei Subway lines a lot and in Kyoto, we used the bus 100% of the time. Just use google maps and you will be fine. As for how to use the lines and get tickets etc., I will make a video soon or just let me know and I could explain :)
Yea, a video on how to use the lines will be great! Thank you!
cool vlog, the girl is adorably charming!
Thanks for watching! Yes she sure is haha
hey! very nice editing. did you take editing classes or self taught?
Jane Thank you! Just self taught. Really didn't know how to do anything but just played around with the software my computer already had for video editing haha
Is that Luke Martin ua-cam.com/users/ToastWithJim @ 14:30 ?
Hey sorry for such a delayed response! We don't think so, that would be crazy though. We did talk to Luke Martin and he stated he went after us if I remember correctly
lil Uzi ain't got nutn on Mag and his moves lol
😂😂😂 I know right. Thanks for stopping by hahah
when you fill the arrival card did you put your airbnb address ?
hadi Leonard Hello! That's a really good question. Yes we just put down the address of one of our airbnbs. We stayed at 3 different ones. But yeah, didn't seem to give any problems to the host. Just know you have to write down an address or you can't get passed the desk.
Japanese government seems to have a little issue with airbnb owners regarding legal matters and to avoid being questioned in the immigration, what we did was we booked a hotel and used its address on the disembarkation card. You need to cancel your booking before you fly to japan though.
Ayon Ayon That sounds like a safer idea just to avoid getting anyone in trouble. Thank you for your input!
wkndtravelers what about the phone number ?
what did you fill on the telephone number section ?
Oh, we had no idea what to do there too so we just wrote our US phone numbers haha.
You are beautiful. The video was fun. Are you American?
小山内秀一 thank you very much for your comment! Yes I am American
