In our last couple days in Japan, we visit the famous Monkey park in Kyoto and feed the wild deer at Nara Park.
Thanks to everyone that watched our 6 part Japan trip series. I had a BLAST filming this for you all and can’t wait to visit Japan again. I look forward to making more regular content but for now, ENJOY!

They say leaving paves the way for new beginnings. We wish you all the best in your lives.
I just want to say that these vlogs have been very entertaining, and that both of you are very endearing people that I am grateful to have had the pleasure of getting some insight into through these vlogs. That being said, I can't wait to see your other videos as well!
What a wonderful series of vlogs! I never normally watch travel vlogs but this was so refreshing and well edited. Thanks for taking us along on your trip (:
I loved the contrast of beautiful landscapes and awesomely crowded Nintendo stores. Looking forward to future videos!

Your video popped up in the YouTube opening screen (probably because I'm in Kyoto) which I use to catch up on news back home. I fully understand and can easily appreciate your fascination with this country. I have been visiting Japan almost annually (except during the pandemic) since my grandfather took me here on the first trip when I was 5 years old. I even took Japanese for my foreign language requirement in secondary school and college. But I've always felt the relatively brief "tourist visa" visits were somehow incomplete, and wanted more. For quite a while, I thought it would be great to move to Japan on a long-term visa, and use the time to experience, observe, and learn as much as I can.
I retired early, and completed all the involved arrangements to depart the US on April 3, 2020, and take up residence for at least a year. Unfortunately, 3 days before departure, Japan closed her borders because of the pandemic. Long story short, Japan planned their border reopening while I was in South Africa, and so the process (obtaining the visa, finding a residence, and navigating the quarantine process for my Yorkie – being gone so long, I couldn't leave her behind, etc.) to enter Japan on a long-term visa was started again (at least this time, I was well aware of the steps that were required).
I've been here since mid-February, and have enjoyed virtually every day. So much so, that I plan to reapply for the 1 year visa probably 2 more times. It was such a huge disappointment when Japan abruptly closed her borders after all the careful planning. And I wasn't sure I would attempt the process when she did reopen. But looking back, and being where I am now, it was so worth it. Very few people have the opportunity to move to Japan on a relatively long-term basis, so I am immensely grateful for this opportunity.
I am completing the last bucket item on my list before eventually returning home to California. And similar to your attraction for Japanese ice cream, I have been indulging in mochi. Except for my dog (including previous dogs) and I guess mochi, I'm not an "object" person. My grandfather repeatedly told me that we only have one life, so enjoy the experiences while we can. I especially saw that in your video.
I enjoyed your Japan vlog.
Very nice!
Donkey Kong area in USJ will open next year.
Come again to Japan someday๐
