  1. 面白い!👏🥺
    外国人の視点で東京を見ると
    普段とは違った風景に見えます🗼🥺

  2. Glad you had a great time! There can be things not pleasant also as there are some nationalist movement but vast majority appreciate foreigners who are genuinely interested in our country. (I’m a naturalized Japanese American myself). Please come again! 😊

  3. やっぱり電車の優先席って分かりにくいかな。。観光で来る外国人のYouTuberの方、よく優先席に座ってるよな。空いてるからいいやってなるんだろうけど。

  4. Very nice video. I am happy that you liked local experience so far. I am sure your courage this time will be well paid off during the rest of your like!

  5. Great video! And welcome to Japan. Thanks for choosing Japan as your first international destination. Hopefully we were able to show you Japanese hospitality, and pls come back for your 41st destination!

  6. 海外の方目線の日本を見ると、こちらも日本を再発見できて楽しいです😊
    京都にも是非来てください❤
    歴史ある街並みで、また違った良さがありますよ😊

  7. Among the many travel guide channels, it is impressive that you, a person with a rich sensitivity, talk about your experiences in your own words. If you come to Tokyo again and happen to meet you in some trouble, I will do my best to help you.

  8. Girlllll this brought me back to my first ever solo trip! I’m so proud of you, I’m glad you had the best time! As a Japanese, I thank you for this beautiful vlog and you’ll always be welcome❤

  9. Good for you…..spreading your wings and traveling to Japan alone. It’s a good country to travel solo to, very safe, people are nice and food sold everywhere… I also travel solo and enjoy Japan very much!❤

  10. Solo traveling is a thing I recommend. Every human being would benefit immensely from a solo trip. Just having yourself to explore and discovery, it is a real pleasure.

    Your vlog was beautiful, I live in Tokyo but I looked at it through your fresh eyes and I enjoyed it.

  11. Just came across your channel from the Kanazawa vid! I'm so excited for you and your adventures!! I also just turned 30 and want to hit 40 before 40 – where are the next top few countries you want to visit?! Ps – obsessed with your glasses girl!

  12. I really enjoyed this video! I’ll be going to Japan for the first time later this year and plan on making videos like this. I really want to remember these key moments in my life, especially as it’ll be my first solo international flight too! I love your editing style – the colour profile, voice overs & variety of shots. I appreciate the effort you put into your first video and excited to see more of your content! It’s interesting that you said Tokyo was so peaceful. I actually decided to do my year abroad outside of Tokyo as I wanted less chaos, especially since I grew up in London 😅

  13. Welcome to Japan!
    I used to take dinner many times at "this" Matsuya near Heiwajima station.
    So I know that you left Matsuya, you walked in the opposite direction from the station 🙂
    Anyway thank you enjoyed Tokyo, Japan.

  14. If you're going to travel solo then I suggest that you do some homework before you go. Not knowing how to get yo your hotel from the airport, trying to get a taxi or Uber (which doesn't exist in japan) isn't efficient. Japan is forgiving for novice travellers. Other countries not so much.

  15. 壮大な計画の出発点に東京を選んでくれてありがとう!
    40カ国の旅が素晴らしい経験になりますように✨

  16. 外国の方の東京視点が分かってて新鮮な気持ちになり、誇りに思ってますね!

  17. 日本へいらっしゃいませ ! 🌸
    シリーズの動画の一番始めですね。
    松屋の様なお店は、私はなかなか行く機会がないです。ずいぶん前に一回だけ、同じ様にわくわくしながら朝食を食べに行きました。
    味噌汁の野菜が初めてだった。私の母親はやらない組み合わせでちょっとびっくりしました。でもとても美味しくて、それから自分でもずっと作っています。

  18. Arigato! It is very honor that you choose Japan as your first trip destination and you went to Matsuya and Ichiran! It's very typical food like you go to McDonald's or Pizza hut in US!
