Hi guys! I've just come across your videos, and I especially love the video where you went up the shin hotaka ropeway! It's going on our list when we visit in Feb next year! Can I quickly ask, what brand are your backpacks? I love the look of them!
I'm a Tokyo resident. Very nice! Very fun! Nagano and Kyoto are my favorite spots. As a Japanese person, this content made me very happy! Thank you very much 👍 Have a nice day 🙋♂🙋♀
Hello! Thank you for your kind comment 🥰 You have a beautiful country and we absolutely love coming back to visit as often as we can! Nagano and Kyoto really are beautiful! So happy you enjoyed our video ☺
Itenerary in my hometown Yamagata is ↓ Uesugi Shrine → Takahata Winery → Kumano shrine → Kaminoyama Onsen → Mt.

Haguro → Zenpoji Temple (Human-faced Fish and Shukubo)
I’m Japanese in tokyo!! I’ve been to visit many prefectures in japan. So, i can tell you that recommend spots 🎀 but my english is poor 😢WELCOME TO JAPAN 🇯🇵
Nicely done! This will help many first time Japan visitors, and likely second timers as well... Me, I'm on my Third go-round, so there is no help for me, just wandering around Japan aimlessly, knocking on random doors and asking people, "Where should I go next?", it's not pretty!
Hahaha brilliant! Sometimes it's a lot of fun just taking a wander and seeing what you can find. Hope you are having a fabulous time and eating all the great Japanese food!!
Hey James and Alex - great video as we are looking at going to Japan skiing at Hakuba in December and then a couple of weeks tripping around the golden triangle. Quick query - how do you guys travel btw the train station to your accommodation and then to the attractions in each city. We imagine the public transport system is pretty good and Google maps usually provides the answer? Thanks Craig & Nat
Hey Craig & Nat! Thats a great question, we love to walk around cities and if the attractions aren't too far away we will do that. Otherwise the metro system is amazing, ALWAYS on time. We have actually done a video on whether it is worth getting the JR pass since the price has increased, and shared some links to work out your journeys and cost involved (in the video description) Google maps works very well in Japan. Taxis are very expensive in Japan, although it is a really cool experience (you'll understand when you see them) We would also recommend downloading Grab (like Uber) which works well and is convenient to use if you can't get public transport. Hope that helps! :)
@@juliuschurafilms mainly just booked hotels, 1 Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto (for the mt Fuji view) then booked 3 restaurants. Other than that Im mostly winging it. My itinerary is moreso a genral idea of where/what I want to do not a concrete timeline.
@@washedmid yea I want mine to be loose but still deciding on day trips and what order of cities I wanna do. After Osaka I think I need to go back to Tokyo. I want Mt Fuji to be a day trip. I’m just starting research so a bit overwhelmed but yea I don’t want to be confined to an overly strict plan, and allow myself to ‘explore’
It's hay fever. There are too many hay fever patients in Japan. Some kind of pollen is scattered throughout the year, but more people will be wearing masks in the upcoming season.

I’m planning on going in a month! How’s your itinerary looking atm?

What month did u go and what was the weather like?
Which month of the year did you travel?
Did you buy a JR Pass?
If you visit in April pls don't miss the Miyako odori show in Kyoto at Kobu theatre...absolutely worth it..
great tip! Thank you
All travelers on this planet may eventually reach their ultimate destination, known as Japan.
Hopefully everyone gets to experience it once. It’s magical!
Guys, how do you travel with your luggages through the cities? You leave them at hotels before exploring cities? 😊
Hey! Yes we often do that. We either check in early and leave at the new hotel, or we leave them at our departing hotel for the day :)
Oh no! You wore the yukata wrong! 😮
We never get it right 🙈
ONE point of view,
＇Takiyama＇ ＇Takayama＇are complently difference.
高山 is pronounced ＇Ta「ka」yama＇.
We are trying are best, forgive us if sometimes we mispronounce words 🙏🏼
@@TwosomeTravellers
Don't worry
but some visitors come to Japan,
滝山(Takiyama)、高山(Takayama)。
Just,I'm concerned about them,a little. Don't worry！
wait mask is a thing still???????????
Masks were a thing in Japan long before Covid. People still wear them for the same reasons they wore them before 😊
It's hay fever. There are too many hay fever patients in Japan. Some kind of pollen is scattered throughout the year, but more people will be wearing masks in the upcoming season.
