First ones back in JAPAN! (Opening day in TOKYO!)



After nearly 3 years, Japan is OPEN to tourism again and we’re among the first tourists back in!!! We made this vlog to show you the entry process & what foreigners currently need to enter Japan.. as well as document our first day back in Tokyo!! On the first day that Japan is re-opened to tourists we navigate the rail, find our Airbnb, and get settled into the Asakusa neighborhood!

We’re Brandi & Alan.

    You still have to wear a mask there. They have massive inflation because the JPY currency is collapsing. If you have USD then it's great. However, a lot has changed and the world is entering a global depression.

    Tokyo's charm is night. The city is wonderful at night. And you can safely stroll anywhere. During the day, you can stroll through parks, shrines, indoor shopping, etc. The best time to walk around the city is at night.

    東京の住まいや高級ホテル以外の宿屋が狭い理由。その昔、日本は身分が高い順に武士、農民、職人商人の順に身分に分かれており、高級武士や有力大名と取引のある商人や庄屋以外以外の家庭は畳6畳分の部屋でしか住まいを与えられなかったこと。4代将軍の後見人である保科正之が活躍してた頃の江戸時代に発生した明暦の大火で更に彼らの住まいや土地は狭くなり、強制的に引越しさせられたからである。東京でもっと広い部屋に宿泊たいなら、山手線の内側、皇居周り、リッツ・カールトン、ホテルニューオータニを利用して下さい。
    なお、日本では飲食店利用するときにUber以外でチップを出すのは失礼なことなので、やめて下さい
    ちなみにコロナ大炎上の中で開催された東京五輪当時にトーマス・バッハ会長は日本国民の税金で1泊300万円する東京都内に数日泊まり、超高級ブランド店が立ち並ぶ銀座をマスク姿で遊び、日本庶民をマジギレさせました

    I imagine Covid questions are on the top of everyone’s mind. My question is masks, it appears to be the thing to wear them in doors out of respect. I also see most people have them on outside. Where is the line, in more distanced outdoor settings is it less a thing? How many people don’t wear one in those situations? Do people dodge them like the plague? Do some people dodge you like the plague? I don’t expect any answers and if I get one I don’t expect all my answers. It could be a good topic for a YouTube video though. The logistics of testing and the culture from your eyes post Covid.

    Toilets in a closet are the normal thing:) well, toilets being in their own separate room is normal, as it is seen as hygienic . In fact, having a bathroom with a toilet in it is an indication of a cheap apartment in Tokyo 🤣😅. Having the facet above the toilet is actually a way typical way to combat water waste! 😀 Isn't that cool? The water you use to wash your hands fills the toilet bowl! Very water conscious !

    The area of Asakusa you visited near Sen soji closes pretty early at night. At like 8pm or so it's almost a ghost town. Best to visit very early before the tourist rush and just before shops open to get what you want without waiting. I recommend visiting Ninja bar asakusa. It's located in one of tokyo's older underground streets and its filled with great people.
