Today we have a two-night layover in one of the world’s most exciting cities: Tokyo, Japan😍🇯🇵 We got to spend a full day exploring and experiencing this city that we’ve been to before, but that we haven’t really explored past the surface.
What’s more? The day was planned for us by an AI🤖😮

Japan was country 38🌍 (First visited in 2018)
In this video, we start the day at our hotel in Ginza. We walk over to the Hamarikyu Gardens where we enjoy a matcha tea ceremony on the lake with traditional Japanese confectionery. From there, we continue through Little Italy and the countless convenience stores to a traditional ramen restaurant called Tokyo Ramen Tower. We then explore the Zojo-ji Temple before catching the metro to Shimo-Kitazawa, where we go shopping for vintage clothing. To cap off the day, we head to Shinjuku station and walk from there through Harajuku down to the world-famous Shibuya crossing. Such a fabulous day!
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

I guess you didn't eat Natto in the proper way… you should put attached sauce and mastered in it, and need mix them until stickness increased, then eat them with white rice!
from a japanese person, let me teach you the proper way to eat natto because you two are doing it all wrong. you have to get the sauce and mustard that should've come with it. the sauce is sometimes plain soy sauce or it could be soy sauce with dashi. you first have to mix it pretty well until it has a constant consistency, THEN you add your mustard and the sauce and further mix it. then you put some over rice and eat it. it wouldn't taste right at all the way you two ate it, without mixing, without sauce/mustard, and nobody eats natto on it's own, it's something that needs to be eaten with with rice.
so that "tofu" pudding you found at family mart, it's called Annin tofu but it's not really tofu at all. there's no soy beans, but it's a chinese dessert also known as Amond jelly, so if you go to a chinese restaurant (even in the US, not sure about Sweden) you can probably find it. if you go to a chinese restaurant in japan it's almost always available as a dessert item. if you got to a big supermarket in japan you also would be able to find it.
You should have natto with soy sauce flavored with “dashi”.
Japanese don’t have natto with no sauce.
As someone who also has severe misophonia, I can relate to the sheer blinding rage of eating in a ramen shop.
You can't go wrong with Japan-related content!
Love your videos and travel suggestions. I’ll have to try Magic on my trip to Reykjavik.
How do both stay so in shape when you are always traveling? Do you go to a gym in every new location? Or is it because you’re always on the go walking miles and miles in each city?
Welcome to Japan! You should stir natto before eating and it will taste better 😉 The tofu pudding is originally from China FYI. Anyways, nice to see you guys were happy 😃
this is cabin crew materials ahah trying to make the most of it!

I've been to Japan 12 times (3 times this year) and I still think about it every day. You can never get bored of Japan!
20:22 Chinese people fight over whether soy pudding (or "douhua" in chinese) should be sweet or savoury from time to time😂
Ive been to 62 nations, I'm not bragging; Japan is one of my, if not my favorite.
Put some soy sauce and wasabis in the Natto it will be better
May you have a fantastic day and many more to come❤🥰
My question is unrelated to Japan (which I’ve traveled to, and it’s awesome). But I searched your history. You guys have not traveled to Mexico? Wassup with that? Mexico is awesome, especially Mexico City, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Yucatán Peninsula and their Maya ruins, Teotihuacan, etc. Again, wassup with that???
The way I like natto is by adding the hot mustard that's provided in the packet. It makes the weirdness go away or numbs it but at least natto is healthy!
Welcome to Japan🇯🇵
I've been following your travel vlog for a while, and I'm always excited to see where you'll take us next. Speaking of travel gear, have you heard about the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack from NomadLane? They seem like they'd be great additions to your adventures.
