Nagano, Japan - Snow Monkeys and Hot Springs
Просмотров 6296 месяцев назад
I wrap up my trip to Japan by taking a bullet train 3 hours north to Yudanaka Onsen, a quaint hot spring town in the northern part of Nagano prefecture. This mountainous town is home to Snow Monkey Park, where wild Japanese macaques come down from the forest to warm up in the onsite natural hot springs, supposedly copying the Japanese locals. I enjoy a private onsen of my own on the balcony of ...

Kyoto, Japan (Part 1) - Samurai Training, Micro Pigs, Japanese Pancakes, Ryokan Life

I explore Kyoto, one of Japan’s most culturally-rich cities, where I stay and dine at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in the very traditional district of Gion, train to use a samurai sword, hang out with some very cute micro pigs in a pig cafe, and try one (okay, two) very delicious (and jiggly) Japanese soufflé pancakes.

Nara, Japan - Feeding the Bowing Deer of Nara Park
Просмотров 918 месяцев назад
I visit Nara Japan in search of the famous bowing deer that roam free through Nara Park. When not feeding the deer, I visit the Kasuga Taisha Shinto shrine, the Todai-ji Buddhist temple, a McDonald's on Higashimuki Shopping Street, and Nakatanidou to watch the professionals pound mochi with wooden mallets.
Osaka, Japan - Go-Karting and Food-Touring Through Japan's Kitchen
Просмотров 1408 месяцев назад
After leaving Tokyo and arriving in Osaka by bullet train, I get busy exploring Japan’s kitchen for all the delicious cuisine it has to offer, including the Netflix-famous Izakaya Toyo. It is an energetic city with a laid-back attitude, and what better way to tour it than by go-karting through its city streets with Akiba Kart Osaka.

Flying in Lie-flat Business Class with ANA for Cheap
Просмотров 3209 месяцев назад
After having endured 16 hours of torture and sleep deprivation in economy class on a previous nonstop flight from Hong Kong to Boston, I was determined to fly in one of those lie-flat, business class seats on my next long-haul international flight, and I did just that, with ANA, on this 14 hour flight from Houston to Tokyo. The experience was so enjoyable that I didn't want the flight to end. A...

    I"m 1 minute and 25 seconds into this video. Have you ever been to Japan? $80/night for that outdated room is extremely expensive. You could've got an APA hotel that's modern and brand new for half that price.

      That was my first trip, but I had thoroughly checked pricing for weeks using Google’s hotel search, and at the time, that was one of the cheapest options I found in that specific location of Ginza. Outdated indeed, although conveniently located near Shimbashi station.

      Juice! My OG subscriber! Glad you enjoyed the video. Between the flight, a mix of cheap and luxury hotels/ryokans, public transportation (local trains/buses, bullet train using Japan Rail Pass, taxi), food and drink (food was actually relatively affordable, even for those special meals), and a few tours/activities… this 17-day trip cost a few thousand USD. I saved up my pennies ahead of time for this one. Hope you make out there!

This was the first time a flight attendant initially refused my gift (in true Japanese form), but eventually accepted it after I insisted.
