Guess what? We’re going to Japan together!
I’m so excited about this project. I went on a vacation to Japan and decided to film while I was there- I thought I would have a vlog or two’s worth of content when I was done but now that I’m home I see I have a lot of exciting stuff I want to share. I watch Japan YouTube videos to relax and I’d like to point out all the things I didn’t know before I went to Japan! It would be great to give any tips to other first time international travelers, and you can also live vicariously through me as I explore my dream location.
This first vlog we travel from LAX in California by an ANA – All Nippon Airways flight to Haneda airport in Tokyo. I’ll talk a bit about the planning process, but we’re mostly here for all the interesting and fun bits of my trip. It was pretty overwhelming, so I’m here to be honest about that! After we arrived we had the smallest of struggles with navigation, but found our way around and immediately went to see the Tokyo Bay, where the Disney Resort is. In future episodes, we’ll visit Ryogoku Kokugikan during a sumo basho, go explore interesting eateries, travel by Shinkansen to Kyoto and Neyagawa, just outside of Osaka, before a final day in Hakone. We did a lot of sight seeing and shopping, and I want to take you along for the adventure.
This is a very different format from my previous content. I like to make story-telling style over narrations with my time lapses that folks can use as a work aid. This is going to be quite the opposite, since its a visuals-focused one. (I am super new to sound balancing, so this is to expedite the video making process..) Please feel free to give me any feedback on my format change, if you have it. I appreciate your time, thank you for being here!
