My Return to Japan!

Can’t believe I’m finally back! I’ve been in Japan for well over a month now, and just now finally managed to upload the first video. Sorry for being so far behind. I’ll do my best to upload in a more timely manner.

The video was filmed one night before I left on a journey to explore Kawasaki, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Himeji, and Hiroshima. Join me and let’s discover this amazing country together!

All right so I am finally back in Tokyo after almost six long years I’ve been here for almost 10 days but I haven’t recorded the single thing on my camera yet I don’t know I’m I’m going to be here in Japan for quite a while for a

Few months so I I didn’t feel any kind of rush I just wanted to enjoy the first few days so it really feel like I arrived in Japan but tomorrow I will check out of this hotel and start a little bit of a journey across Japan or

At least west of Tokyo when I come back to Tokyo I’m going to be here for quite a while and I’m going to make so many videos in Tokyo I have so much planned and so many keys to travel success you know I’m just going to give you some

Some Secrets some special moves to make you stay in Japan successful but I thought to myself before going on this trip to all these different cities let me bring out my camera one more time and find my way back into the the groove of making videos let’s go to Asaka I’ve

Never been to Asaka I guess only right my first time in aaka I will experience something new and take you with me it is quite rainy at the moment so I definitely do need to get myself an umbrella I’m curious to see how I’m going to do it with the camera my phone

And the umbrella if you’re wondering why I’m holding my phone like this and speaking into it it’s because I can’t mount a microphone onto my camera that’s the problem with this camera that I’m having uh the Canon g7x Mark I so until I have a better camera where I can mount a decent

Microphone um I’m going to speak into my phone just for somewhat decent quality audio that’s Why I’m here now in Asaka but I want to I want to find some kind of main gate you know and not just walking from any random side street I want to let me just walk Around all right I found exactly what I was looking for this main entrance and this um really iconic shopping street leading up to the Temple but I saw the Sky Tree somewhere here let me just walk across the street I think at the time of its construction it was the tallest

Building on the planet there we have the Tokyo Sky Tree tallest building in the whole city and over here is the main entrance to let me let me look up the name I forgot the the name of that street Ah that’s right nakami nakam Street unfortunately I think I’m a bit

Late it’s around 6 I think and lots of the shops have already shut down but I have to say it is quite beautiful with the Sakura there’s so many side streets and different areas that I want to explore you have so many nice little shops I know it’s it’s a

Tourist trap and it’s known to be a tourist trap but still you know coming from where I’m from it’s very interesting to see all this stuff and you can get some great souvenirs it’s it’s all in one place you can even get some H out souvenirs for your friends

And family so I think I have to come back here during the day I think one of my hotels in March is here I’m going to be staying in this area for 2 days These two statues remind me so much of the anime or Manga guns the anime is forgettable in my opinion but the manga is great so these two are called Neo or DEA Kings in English apparently Guardian deities of this Temple you have lots of people coming here taking pictures there are kimono rentals

In this area so you can come here um rent the kimono put it on and walk the areas and feel like you’re in it period Japan or Something over here right next to the temple you can buy a fortune it’s a little slip of paper telling you your fortune and if you if you drew a bad fortune you can tie it to this rack so it stays here technically you can buy multiple fortunes so it’s basically pay to Win So many of these shutters have amazing designs I feel like I want to come back here at night one time just to explore all of these shutters even the uni is appropriately themed this is uh the closest you will come to some kind of Kyoto experience in

Tokyo and it’s starting to rain let me put away my phone But you know what I don’t want to stretch this video out needlessly I’m in this little covered shopping arcade area and I’m going to roam the streets a little bit more and call it a night I’m going to show you some more Impressions stick around if you want to see more of Japan

And I don’t know good Night oh
