  1. I hope to one day visit this beautiful land and experience it's varied culture. I've only visited a handful of other countries in my life and I hardly experienced them since I just didn't have the interest as a child, but as an adult I wish I could go back and experience them properly. Japan has been on my hitlist of places I want to start visiting and exploring for a long time, finding out that there was essentially a Sakoku 2.0 was hard to find out, but now that it's opening again and hopefully becomes far more opened in the future, I'm hoping to make a trip there someday soon. Whether that's years from now or less, I look forward to that day and hope I can experience the Japan you fell in love with.

  2. I’m visiting Japan in few weeks, so hyped and want to visit the Warhammer store

  3. I got to be at the warhammer cafe the day it opened, AND that only happened because I went to harajuku and Yuki herself told me it was opening soon, she was just as friendly as your video makes her out to be. I had to wait in a 3 hour line to get in the cafe, ended up striking up a conversation with someone who barely spoke English (and I barely spoke Japanese) it wasn’t much but it was a great time, even happened to get in the checkout line next to the same guy so we could show off our purchases.

    This might seem minor to anyone who reads this but it was great at the time.

  4. I'm actually going to Japan in a few weeks and I'm so excited. I've always wanted to go and I was supposed to go last year but the border was still closed so I'm going now. Your videos have always inspired me and drawn me to Japanese culture and I'm glad I got some good reccomendations on where to go during my trip.

I have a LOT of different ideas for more videos that deal with Japan more directly INCLUDING a few videos on places in Japan I went to that I didn't mention here. So I hope you'll stick around and have a look!

  6. Hey GG! Do you have any advice for first time travelers to Japan? I am getting married next year and my fiancé and I really want to go to Japan for our honeymoon but we do not know where to start!

  7. I’m a martial artist who has done 4 years of taekwondo and is doing Brazilian jujitsu and boxing on the side and is trying to start doing Okinawan karate I would love to go to Japan to se sumo and all the other martial arts there

  8. what a fully packed trip Gaijin, the only person that I think you didnt see that I follow is Chris from Abroad in Japan unless im wrong on that regard, its really cool seeing you catch up with your friends that you havent seen in years and experience Japan again 🙂 thank you for another great video 🙂

  9. As someone who struggles to make ends meet, this idea of making another country your home is among one of the loftiest I know. But one day I hope to visit Japan, maybe as a foreign student (I mentioned some time ago in the past about the desire to study at the Genki Japanese & Culture School) or something.

  10. I know there's been a lot of crap going on at the moment, and yeah, it has harmed the image of Japan, but even though I've never had the chance to go myself, I still can't say that my interest in the country has shifted at all. Acknowledging the negative shouldn't mean hating the country overall, because there's plenty to remain positive about. I'd love to see what more you have to show of this trip, because it looked fantastic!

  11. I just returned from a 10 day trip to Japan June 2-11 and since I finally got to do a trip to make "Pilgrimages" to places in between doing touristy things with friends, like checking out Tokyo Disneysea and Gundam Factory.

    I got to visit the Kanda shrine for Steins;Gate and Love Live feels, I took a day trip to Kyoto to visit Omi Jingu for Chihayafeels, I checked out Toei Studio Park, I went up to see Saitama Super Arena as so much of it is used in Toku filming, I went to Tokyo Big Sight and imagined what it would be like if Comiket was in full swing, I then wandered Odaiba on foot, to see a couple more FIlming Locations from Toku, like the stone stage next to one end of Dream Bridge, Dream Bridge itself, seeing Diver City and its stairs because of Love Live Nijigasaki, then speedrunning buying stuff all over Tokyo. It was nice for me to take a small trip and it's something I hope to do again in the future with other sets of friends I wasn't able to go with so they could hopefully feel what I felt.

  12. I'm heading to Japan in March 2024 where I'll stay for about two weeks.

    As part of an organized tour, I'm starting in Osaka and head to Koyasan, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Matsumoto
    before ending the trip in Tokyo.

    I'm really looking forward to Osaka and Mr. Fuji among the other things I enjoyed in previous
    trips to Japan.

  13. This was a very good and very informative video. I lived in Japan for about 3 years and this video reminded me of the good times I had. I had some reservations about going back to Japan too (Actually I had reservations about traveling as a whole). I do hope to go back one day, but when that time comes I want to be able to share the experience with certain people in my life.

  14. I went back to Japan in April after a 3 year hiatus due to covid and I get where you're coming from in the mental aspect.
    I was worried that the Japan I remembered was gone but that all washed away when interacting with the locals. Talking with people that have common interests, creating new friendships, and exploring the beauty of Japan brought back why I fell in love with the country in the first place.
    I'm glad to have watched your thoughts returning to Japan and I look forward to seeing more content from you

  15. We must have passed each other at LEAST twice. I was in Japan from the 13th to the 30th. Went to Osaka and Yamagata (which is just a bus ride from Sendai). I also went to Nagano Broadway twice to that same wrestling mask store.

  16. To be fair… I do enjoy covid Japan more than "regular" Japan at times. No need to push through flocks of Chinese tourists at certain locations, cheaper to travel, more accommodations, just overall less crowded when out and about.

  17. Less than 3 months until my own trip and this was pretty comforting. Although now I’m really looking forward to part 2 for research lol.

  18. Gonna be going for a 3 week trip in September and also won the ability to purchase tickets to this year's Magical Mirai concert on 9/3 :3
