I’m a blind traveler and I checked into a Japanese capsule hotel pod for 7 days, 168 hours. With a visual impairment, I vlog a week in Japan to highlight challenges and accessible moments I had during my stays across two hotels.

This was a great video, James. I'm glad you had a good experience in Tokyo and at the capsule hotels. I definitely want to get out and travel more, getting out of my comfort zone as a legally blind person as well. Japan is on my list of places to visit at some point.
James – it was such a pleasure to meet you! I had such a loveley time even though it was our first meet up and I am quite sad we couldn't meet again. You are such a big inspiration and it's amazing how you were able to fulfil some of your dreams here. I hope you come to Japan again one day to explore even more! Let's meet up again then! ♥
PS: The Hunter story will be a story I'll tell my grandchildren one day. 😂😂
Excellent video. It’s amazing when you meet up with someone from your past in a completely new context. Serendipity at work.
James, thanks for sharing your experiences in Japan. It’s really interesting to see other blind people’s travel experiences. I hope you have a great day!
Nice, you met the wonderful Lisa, she is so beautiful and kind, lucky you 😉
Dude you are so underrated. Been subbed for a while now but you deserve more views bro-
I am so happy you released a new video!
I am terrified of capsule hotels! I am very scared of small spaces (claustrophobic) and it looks like my nightmare!
I love the concept though! If I could get over my fear, I would like to stay in one. But I can’t!
James. Do you consider travel in a China? I could assist for u.
I thought you had left YouTube, I'm happy you are posting again!
I am a big fan James Rath
I think they have a similar thing in England but they are wayyyyy smaller
James, you’re absolutely brave, brilliant, and amazing! I loved this video. And I don’t know how you keep getting better and better at the editing process but you do! I’m also blind and a Counting Creator, but I am nowhere near as brave as you are! Thank you so much and keep up the excellent work.😂
Awesome video as always. I can't tell if I would have the best night's sleep in a pod, or if I would wake up screaming.
