- Hello friends! This is our second travel vlog in Tokyo, Japan. In this vlog, you will get to see the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the street food and fresh fish at Tsukiji Fish Market, and our experience at an onsen (hotspring/bathhouse) where you get to wear a yukata, soak up, and get eating by fish!
We spent 2 weeks in Japan so we have about 10 or so vlogs coming (1-2/week). Feel free to ask us any questions about Japan regarding travel tips, things to do, places to eat at, and how to travel on a budget! We hope our travel vlogs momentarily make you feel like you're on the trip with us. Feel free to ask us any questions regarding travel in Japan!

You guys are so cute! Finally watching your vlogs after seeing it on facebook.
Kelly Huang Awhh thanks for watching Kelly! Let us know if we can do anything better cause I know you're good at production
All I can say is maybe, just a little faster and montages are fun to watch with fun music too! This is great tho! Thumbnails are perfect!
Kelly Huang Thanks so much! I super appreciate the feedback. Faster as in shorten the videos?
Yes as in shorter! :)
Love your Vlogs so much makes me hungry lol hopefully I get to go to Japan this year but idk because of Korea..😐
BTW The last part of the video was so calming did they have music playing in the background or you added it yourself 👀
Haha awwhh thanks! That's the point. To make everyone hungry lol. I am always hungry when I edit these vids haha. Yeah yikes...lets hope nothing goes down and you can go to Japan. But yeah, the last part was the onsen's music. I didn't even notice till you brought it up -_______-
Love your Japan vlogs! Just wondering, how much was the onsen?
I totally gave you a thumbs up for when you got stuck
Lolol I totally know what moment you're talking about without even looking at the video hahah
What type of camera did you use to video your vlogs during japan? And did your battery last all day?
I'm planning to go to japan in July.....is this a Airbnb where u stay
I went on april 2017 and lol I tasted the same things that you do! But I didn't see the video until know! Sorry about my english haha!
Really? That is so funny haha! Like almost everything we ate you ate? What a coincidence! What are the things you liked most? No worries, I understood everything you said
I totally miss Tsukiji. No doubt the best place to check out if you're a seafood lover. What's your favourite?!
I can't agree with you more. I wish we went back once more before we left because I know there's a lot more to try although I did feel like I ate the entire market that day haha! My favorite hands down was the sashimi. I never ate anything except salmon but now I'm proud to say I ate 5-6 different fish without feeling grossed out by the taste.
pls vlog more
Okay now I'm hungry lol yeah I'm not too much of a raw sushi eater too, but I've heard people that don't eat sushi, loves it when they go to Japan for the fresh fish lol oh man and that mochi!!!! Looks hella good. 👍🏼
You are correct! I am not a huge fan of raw fish and was scared to try everything other than salmon but once I took a bite, I was blown away. Mochi there was nothing like the states. So excited for you guys to go! Let us know if you guys need any tips or anything.
wkndtravelers I bet! I can't wait to go. Yeah I was gonna ask if you guys brought a lot of luggage? So we arrive in Tokyo around 5pm on a Friday and that's rush hour right? Lol so I was thinking how are we gonna fit all our luggage into the train with a full train? Any tips? Or I've seen on a couple of vlogs that companies deliver for a small price? I'm not sure if that's accurate? That's our only concern.
Yeah! So we had two big luggage's and two huge backpacks. Its common to have some tourists on the train with lots of luggage and stuff so you will be fine (according to my native Japanese friend). They know we are foreigners so its not as bad. Regarding packed trains, usually the end carts are less packed so wait at either ends and get on. People will work around you and your luggage. Otherwise, at major train stations like the airports (and I think Tokyo station, Shinjuku, Shibuya) have luggage desks that offer to send your luggage to your hotel location for a fee. I believe it was $25 per luggage when I saw? Don't quote me on that haha. Are you planning on going to other cities like Kyoto or Osaka?
wkndtravelers ohhh okay well that makes it a little better. So we have 3 big luggages, 3 carry ons, and backpacks. Haha but will definitely gravitate towards the back! Thanks for hat tip Hopefully that won't bother anyone. So originally that was our plan to go to Osaka as well, but we don't really have time to go. We are only there for 9 days, but we will see. Did you guys do the unlimited JR pass?
Wow that's a lot along with the kid as well! I'm positive you won't be much of a burden. Everyone is nice there! Haha. Oh darn. Yeah thats not a lot of days! We thought two weeks wasn't even enough for us. We did not get the JR Pass cause we barely used the JR Line other than go to Kyoto. A lot of the trips will arrange from $2-4 and we walked a lot. I only recommend the pass if you are going to one or more major city. That's the only time its worth it.
Do you remember the name of the sit down sushi place you went to in Tsukiji market?
Eat Fab. Stay hungry my friends!
Hi!! I just finished watching all of your Japan vlogs and I really enjoyed it!! it made me feel very excited for my Japan trip in November (still a long way to go) haha anyways!! I was just wondering how much was the entrance fee for the onsen? and whats included in the package? :) THANK YOU! :)
Hello! Thank you for watching our vlogs and your comment! We are so excited for you! Wish we could go back soon. Let me tell ya though, time will sure fly and you will be in Japan in no time haha. The entrance fee at the onsen we went to was around $25 usd (2500 yen) for 24 hour access. This includes access to the outdoor foot baths, indoor baths (where you are unclothed), resting rooms, food court, carnival games and arcades. The only time you have to pay more is when you get fish feet therapy, massages, facials, body exfoliation and stuff like that. The entrance fee is pretty reasonable and well worth it! As you will see in our next vlog, we went again to end our last full day in Japan.
oh wow thanks!! thats pretty cheap! I will definitely go there! Can't wait for your next vlog! :)
Yes!!! Its a must. One of my favorite things that I would recommend to anyone. Our next vlog will be coming up in a couple of hours! Thanks for staying tuned hehe! And let me know if you ever have any questions regarding Japan travel!
After seeing this, I gotta go check these places out! I booked my trip to tokyo for next month! Is the tsukiji market free to go in at 9am and walk around to eat?
Viet Vo Man that is awesome! We are excited for you guys! Definitely let us know if you have any questions. Yeah Tsukiji is free to go into. It's literally like walking into a street market/alley and you just buy whatever you want!
wkndtravelers awesome! Was the hotsprings worthed?
Viet Vo So worth it we went two times!
Nice video! Man i miss being in japan i need to go back lol what camera does he have around his neck when you guys are eating the mochi?
Thanks for stopping by! Every time I edit I feel the need to go back haha. Anywho, Mag has the Fujifilm x100t. Awesome little digital mirrorless camera. Great alternative to DSLRs!
Haha same most of the video was from my phone i was more focused on the photography and everything else there lol i went to an onsen in kyoto in the mountains and it was a completely different experience lol we didnt get yukatas =[
Yeah...if we didn't decide to vlog everything, we probably wouldn't have had footage either, even on our phones. So glad we did it! Oh snaps, thats what we wanted to do. A more natural hotspring in the middle of winter with snow all around. The place we went to is more hip and modern. Still pretty cool, felt like anime characters ahaha! But hey next time, you guys can got there.
Yeah I know what you mean, to a certain extent i do regret not doing more to record my experience, I have my phone videos which are honestly great but I mostly only have the photos which isn't as immersive as the videos would have been lol but I've never vlogged before so definitely next time. That would honestly be amazing! We took a bus from kyoto station and it was about an hour ride to the last stop up the mountain in Ohara. We probably walked another hour to the Onsen but it was so worth it. There were so many shrines and you really got a sense of how the locals really live as everyone there pretty much grew/made their own things and lived off of the land. It was really hot too so when we finally reached our destination at the bath house it was that much more rewarding and relaxing almost didn't want to leave lol you should try it. It was an amazing experience. I'd definitely like to check out Osaka or Hokkaido next time I go to take in more of the land there. The bath house you went to really looked fun seems like more of a younger crowd and probably a more energetic atmosphere like in anime lol i'll definitely put that on my list to check out the next time i go!
Phototaku Yeah' definitely vlog cause it's fun to go back on and it's more immersive like you said. Vlog for yourself, then if you want, put it on UA-cam. Holy smokes, that's a LONG walk. Hahaha. The dedication. Wow sounds awesome though, must have felt real good to soak all the stiffness away. Your trip seems really exciting and less touristy. Might have to get some tips from ya when we go again! Mag and I had some days where we vlogged less and tried to immerse ourselves into the culture to get a feel of how locals lived. It was really neat and simplistic. We loved it.
Hi, how many days did you guys stay in Japan?
UglyMaleee Hello! We stayed exactly 14 days. Thanks for stopping by-
Hi there!!! For the day spa do you recommend spending all day there and what is the cost? I'll be traveling there in October and I'm trying to map out my itinerary.... 😊
Hello! I'd say half a day would be good enough to experience the amenities they provide. If you really want to relax, you could spend a full day lounging around too. The entrance fee is $26 usd dollars and this allows you to enjoy the outdoor foot bath and gendered bath house (along with free yukata to wear). Very excited for you guys! Let us know if you have any other questions
thanks for the reply!! i was doing a little more research and i'm bummed that i won't be able to go in because of my tats. :(
2:09 Oh, you should the Tofu cuisine put/pour on the your rice to make a "Donburi" which means "bowl of rice with food on top" ....
mPD780C1 Thanks for letting us know the proper way to eat it :) and thanks for stopping by
How much money would you recommend to bring for spending money??
Brieana Hudson Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. I’d recommend minimum $500 a week per person. We were hitting close to $800/$900 a person per week because we are hardcore shoppers haha
Which onsen did you guys go to? Do you know if they allow tattoos, since I know many places do not :(
Jackie Gilpin Hello! We went to the one in odaiba city (diver city) called Tokyo Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari. Unfortunately, they do not allow tattoos. But now that I think about it, if you aren't going to go to the hotspring area where you have to be unclothed, you could get away with it maybe? As long as you can hide it with the yukata they give you, you can enjoy the foot baths and everything inside (food, games, lounges) cause they'll never know you have one, unless someone sees you changing and tells on you. Sorry you have to struggle finding an onsen. It's a stubborn rule :(
24:52 This is way better than the way Trina did it. ;) LOL (Victorious anyone? 😗)
Hello guys whats up
Able to provide the airbnb link that you stayed in ?
Angeline Poh Hello there! Thanks for watching. Unfortunately this apartment is not listed on the site anymore. I'll let you know if I see it back up 😊
I want mochi
Lol Tsukiji is pronounced skeegee.
Haha thank you! That sounds about right -_________- We fail haha
I AM SORRY! I'm SORRY!
I tried but I really couldn't hold it.
"It's cause you took a huge bite. You just need to lick it." --- and then she goes off licking it while look the camera straight in the lens.
I want mochi
Thomas D Us too. Fresh mochi is the best which we don't have access to at the moment :(
you want to eat your CAT?
