How to Spend 21 Days in JAPAN π―π΅
Japan is a land of contrasts, where ancient traditions meet futuristic innovations. This captivating archipelago offers a unique blend of cultural experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and culinary delights. In this video, we embark on an unforgettable journey through Japan’s most iconic cities, exploring the vibrant metropolis of Tokyo, the serene beauty of Nikko and Hakone, the historical charm of Nagoya, and the cultural heartlands of Osaka and Kyoto.
Our adventure begins in Tokyo, a sprawling metropolis that pulsates with energy. We find tranquility amidst the bustling city at the serene Meiji Shrine, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken.
From the urban jungle of Tokyo, we venture into the serene mountains of Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We are awestruck by the intricate Toshogu Shrine, a lavishly decorated mausoleum dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. We experience the tranquility of traditional Japanese gardens and find solace in the serene atmosphere of ancient temples.
Next, we journey to Hakone, a mountain resort town renowned for its stunning views of Mount Fuji and its rejuvenating hot springs. We cruise across Lake Ashi, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, and ride the Hakone Ropeway, offering panoramic views of volcanic hot springs and lush landscapes. We immerse ourselves in the art of traditional Japanese crafts at the Hakone Open-Air Museum, showcasing contemporary sculptures against the backdrop of nature. We indulge in a relaxing onsen experience, soaking in the therapeutic waters and rejuvenating our senses.
Our journey continues to Nagoya, a city steeped in history and culture. We delve into the world of Ghibli at Ghibli Park before learning more about the history of trains at the Train and Maglev Museum.
From Nagoya, we travel to Osaka, a vibrant city known for its friendly locals and its lively culinary scene. We explore Osaka Castle, a symbol of the city’s resilience and a testament to its rich history. We wander through the vibrant Dotonbori district, famous for its street food, entertainment, and iconic Glico Running Man sign.
Our next destination is Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan. We are mesmerized by the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), a Zen Buddhist temple covered in gold leaf, reflecting its splendor on the surrounding pond. We stroll through Arashiyama.
This journey through Japan is an experience that will stay with us forever. We have witnessed the beauty of Japan’s landscapes, immersed ourselves in its rich culture, and savored its culinary delights. We have made memories that will last a lifetime and gained a deeper appreciation for this captivating country.

wow some of that footage is spectacular.
What was in the first non Disney hotel's fridge?
I've watched you since the scenic drive days and wow, you have put so much time and effort in to creating wonderful videos. Inwatched this and went back and watched your last 3 weeks in Japan video and the improvement in editing and more confidence in voice is amazing.
your travel videos are authentic and I can tell you and Ben live normal lives, so this is what a realistic, normal persons trip to Japan would be like, not like 5 star every night experience. Keep being yourselves and enjoying what you do β€
