ご両親の来日が楽しみですね。サニーさんの名ガイドでどこを訪れるのかな。
Hi Sunny
Thank you for creating
this really informative video.
We are now planning our first visit to Japan so your beautiful video is just what we needed.
Thank you so much for your posting!
I agree with you that May & October are good season to trip (Summer in Japan is too hot & humidity🥵)
Random question in some of your footage in previous videos you showcase Hotel Brighton. Did you grow up in the south east? I lived on Bay St. wild.
Great video. I'm planning a solo trip in Dec/Jan at this is super helpful!
一番重要な事は旦那さんが言ってた 笑
日本は沖縄の海から北海道の大地まで地域ごとに異なりすべてのアクティブがあります。
最近はオーバーツーリスト気味なので時間に余裕のある無理しないスケジュールを組んでほしいと思います。
I will arrive right at the start of the golden week 👍 But I will only visit the Miyako Odori in Kyoto and then go to Tokushima and do a pilgrimage for 4 weeks. And I have already booked hotels for the first week.
Thanks heaps Sunny another great video
Unfortunately I’m going to go during golden week🥲 BUT I’ve heard that it doesn’t impact Tokyo that much since the golden week usually ”empties out” the city for residents to travel to spots like Kyoto and other parts of Japan. Is this true?
Or is it simply because Tokyo is so large you generally don’t notice it?
Itami airport is for domestic flights 👍
I’m now studying in Brisbane but this video made me wanna go back to Japan even for a few weeks 😂 There’s so many places to visit!!!
スキー、スノボーは春スキーをおすすめします。5月まで楽しめます。
Great vid I’m going in October and you’ve provided a lot of info I needed. Thank you
Hi Sunny. Regarding fruit, I think I understand the slightly different attitude Japanese people have [and it occurs to me that part of "the problem" might simply be a logical consequence of that Japanese higher expectation of excellence in most endeavours or outputs, including farmers], but what if one doesn't need the biggest, "awesomest", sweetest bunch of grapes, or pears or peaches?… 🍇🍐🍑
In this time you've lived there, have you come across or directed to places where one can buy more average quality fruit (ie, without having to sell a kidney for it?)
(…other than going fully "inaka" and buying directly from producers, obvs. And even that would probably not be that effective in many cases I suspect) 🙇♂
Great video. On 'Getting around', it's worth including luggage forwarding services/TaQBin as it radically changes how a trip might look.
タイトルを見た時、もし福岡が紹介されるのなら屋台とラーメンは出るだろうと思いましたが、まさか東筑軒のかしわ飯弁当までとは思いもしませんでした。これらは偶然身近にあるだけで私自身は何の関わりもないのですが、地元のものが動画で紹介されているのはやはり嬉しいですね。
I’ll be in Tokyo for the first week of May 😂 I shall embrace my inner sardine.
流石日本の事をよく理解してらっしゃいますね。
とんでも情報を発信しているSNS垢が多い中で貴重なチャンネルです。
応援してます。
Awesome channel and videos, so glad I found it!
After watch I want to live in Japen ❤
ぜひ、東北地方の紹介もお願いします。
I don’t speak Japanese and only know a few phrases here and there, and Japanese people are way more receptive to you if they see that you are trying to speak a bit of Japanese. I think this is probably true for any country where English isn’t the main language. It’s a sign of respect to the locals to try to speak their language, however badly you fumble it 😂
For getting around, I would absolutely recommend getting the regional rail passes. The nationwide JR pass isn’t worth it. Last year I used the JR East Tohoku pass, and this year I used the JR West All Area and Kansai Wide passes. I saved a pretty good amount of money this way compared to buying individual tickets.
I would 100% recommend Yamato delivery service to ship your large suitcase from one city to the next. It saves a lot of hassle for yourself and the people around you. I’ve used this service 4 times and it’s flawless each time. I sent my suitcase from Family Mart twice, and the fees are the same anywhere you send it from (whether it’s hotel or konbini), because fees are based on distance and size + weight. You can check the yamato website for this since they can quote you the exact amount.
Highly informative and absolutely clear presented video, well done ✅👍✅.
I have query from the video and would appreciate your response solely based on personal experience only:
* Food in general is fried a lot and veggies are somewhat missing (unless it's ramen/noodle, Okonomiyaki) is there a culture for eating salads in Tokyo, Osaka etc and do you get healthy options for salads in Konbini.
* Is Golden Gai area more hype or actual worth (for foodies).
* If you been to USJ lately and is it any good if someone from FL wants to go.
Thanks I'm advance
I love your content!
Booked flights in Osaka and out Tokyo in sept school holidays
Could u recommend some traditional accommodation u mentioned in Osaka please love to try
プラス提案(Additional suggestions) 笑🍙
If you have trouble eating your meal, it will not be as tasty as you would like😅💦Therefore, I recommend that you get used to using chopsticks😎🥢
Any suggestions for hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto? I love your recommendations.
これは、親切な動画ですね。各ガイド本やYouTubeにサイトを載せるべきです。動画の姉妹編として、穴場巡りや、他の案内動画には無い、奇祭とか独特の食べ物とかの紹介動画が有ると良いですね。
With over a billion content online about Japan.. you do an amazing job explaining and breaking things down so they are easier to digest.. 🏆🥇
Such a good video! We’re coming to Japan towards the end of May and I cannot wait 🥲 I’ve found your channel so informative, thank you!
Sunny in Japan…. 🇯🇵 is the future!
I have a flight to Japan in less than 10 hours and now I’m ready hmph! 😤 ready for some delicious ramen 🍜
めちゃくちゃいいチャンネルだなー。僕は英語のリスニングのトレーニングに使わせてもらってます笑
映像がとにかく綺麗！
Great video, extremely helpful cheers!
