I just got back from Japan on Sunday. The trip was amazing, highly recommend and was at that sumo show!!
Thanks Aly, great video. Japan has so much and this really helps give a better idea of what consists in each area. I plan on going next year and I'm slowly building my itinerary and this was extremely helpful. Looks like you had a great time.
That was a great video and thank you for sharing your itinerary. We will be going this October,
Great video Aly! You are my number one travel guru and after not flying for 20+ years your content has been so very helpful!
I just got back from a week in Tokyo with family and learned so much from this video for future trips. One thing I'll add for Major League Baseball fans: Japanese professional baseball a.k.a. Nippon Professional Baseball is a blast and a very different experience than MLB that I highly recommend. We caught a Yakult Swallows game (our team) at Jingu Stadium which is a short walk from Gaienmae Station on the Ginza line. I see the Tokyo Giants' stadium is an even shorter walk to Suidobashi Station.
Rock on!
Thank you for finally pronouncing Asakusa correctly!
So many great ideas! I’m going to Tokyo next month and will definitely be checking out some of these spots. Thank you! 🌸
