Japan is a country of contrasts, where ancient traditions and modern technology coexist side by side. It’s a country with something to offer everyone, from the bustling metropolis of Tokyo to the serene temples of Kyoto. In this video, I share my top reasons why Japan is my favorite travel destination. From the delicious food to the kind and welcoming people, there’s something about Japan that just keeps drawing me back.
Here are just a few of the reasons why I love Japan:
The culture: Japan has a rich and unique culture that has been shaped by centuries of history. From the traditional tea ceremony to the vibrant anime and manga scene, there’s always something new to learn and experience.
The food: Japanese cuisine is some of the best in the world. From sushi and ramen to tempura and yakitori, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And the best part is, it’s all relatively affordable.
The people: Japanese people are known for being kind, polite, and welcoming. Even if you don’t speak Japanese, you’re sure to feel at home in Japan.
The scenery: Japan has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, from the snow-capped mountains of the Alps to the cherry blossoms of Kyoto. There’s always something to see and do, no matter what time of year you visit.

I love Japanese sake too. Doesnโt give me a headache the next day.
Have you ever been to Thailand
Fun story for you… I was in Japan this past June and forgot my jacket on the train (this was in Hokkaido where it gets cool at night). I went to the station staff to let them know and they were able to contact the train conductor within 5 minutes. The lady working at the station was worried that I would be cold but I reassured her a few times that I would be ok. Then she let me know that I could pick it up the next day at the last station, 3 hours down the track from where I was (the next day I was going there anyway). When I picked up the jacket it was labeled and perfectly folded, what great service!!!

I saw a documentary on Japan's lost & found and over 90% of items find their owner, and it's small things like umbrellas too!
I hesitate to ask for directions because they literally walk you there. I just want to be pointed in the right direction.
Japan is the perfect jetlag city. There is a flight from SFO that leaves at 11am and arrives at 3pm the next day. The entire flight is during my waking hours and when you land it's after 3pm so you can check into the hotel. Grab dinner and then go to bed. The next morning no jetlag. Then after a few days go to another Asian destination with no jetlag.
8:50 walking all day even train nearby.
You didnโt mention Halloween,Christmas,and new year seasons.
Blade Runner is based in Los Angeles ๐
I went to Japan this spring! I loved it!! I'd go back in a minute.
I really enjoyed trying the food!
We had a delay on our flight home, we had a fellow who was Wheeling me around, he made a call and got us on the next flight! Very charming and helpful!
Japan is truly an amazing country to visit, and my family and I had many of the same positive experiences that you described.
BTW, I sifted through your videos and couldn't find anything on New Zealand. Have you been or do you intend to?
wow! thanks for sharing!
Japan looks like an amazing place. I love the juxtaposition between the old and new. Super modern yet steeped with ancient tradition. I've never been but one of things I love most is how much they value and cherish the elderly. ๐๐ช
My first memory of Japan was from 2003 when I was stationed in Sasebo. As part of base orientation, they took us out into town to Hoka Hoka to get some absolutely delicious Bento boxes. Our guide wouldn't let us use forks. They handed us chopsticks and said "learn" lol. I miss those days.
Live video request, Chris: Why Hawaii is a Favorite Travel Destination. I always enjoy your videos.
How do you feel about the new boarding format for United Airlines? WILMA, we do boards first, then middle, then isle. ๐ฎ
I just wanted to say that I enjoy you and your channel. I really like your positivity. Keep doing what you're doing!
I lived in Kanazawa for a while and one thing that's cool about it is that it wasn't bombed as heavily during the war so the temples and shrines there are truly old and not just rebuilt structures as in some of the other cities you mentioned…
