I’ve come back & rewatched this video so many times now! I miss the excitement of travelling to Japan (or anywhere, really), arriving at Narita and making my way in to Tokyo.. the start of the adventure is so much fun! This vid captures that vibe. Thank you Natasha 🙂
My wife and I watched your videos three years ago before our expected trip to Japan in May 2020. For obvious reasons, that trip had to be cancelled. We have now booked again to go this may (2023) and I'm again watching your old Japan videos and am enjoying them just as much the second time around and continue to pick up tips about how to travel in the country. Thank you.
I have been searching RUclips for vlogs to Japan and to be honest the stuff that is coming back is good but your video is perfect. You really let your personality shine though and your so talkative and informative its awesome. Obviously I am 3 years behind in finding you channel but I am really looking forward to seeing what other content. I do vlogs but I am still finding my flow and how to bring my personality through and I'm getting there but you vlog is amazing. I can't wait to get to Japan and explore the amazing city.
I love your videos there very informative. I’ll be planning my Japan trip for next year and you give me so many great ideas for my trip! Thank you for sharing your amazing trips.
I’m in love with your Japan travel videos! You seem to really love making them and they’re so informative! Thanks for helping me plan my trip for next September!
Love your videos! I watched many MANY japan vlogs/guides and no one shares information and tips like you do. I appreciate and love you so much!!! I always go back to your videos when I review my itinerary. I'm super excited for more videos from this trip!!
Ha ha! I know what you mean Maurice! We missed pret so much when we lived in Japan! I miss Japan so much, but you've reminded me of one reason why it is good to live in the UK - many thanks!
Loved this, brought back memories of my trips to Japan, heading back in October. The Japan Rail Pass is a must if you intend to travel around a lot, I rode the Shinkansen about 10 times in 3 weeks, would have cost a fortune without the pass. Looking forward to watching the rest of your Japan uploads.
Thanks so much Craig! Yes we love the Japan Rail Pass! When we lived there we couldn't buy it - so we felt the full force of the shinkansen prices!!! In the last video we started really saving money - I think it'll be well over 20k JPY by the time we're done!
Myself and my wife are off to Tokyo in 2 yrs time celebrating my 50th but I feel like a kid still lol . Loved your video and thought you come across as a bubbly lovely person . Thanks for sharing 👍 as my name suggest we are in Watford
It literally may have happened considering we also took the Finnair route to Narita, although we did not go to Kanazawa this time unfortunately, love that city!
March 29th we left London, i am aware technically that is not April but the majority of the 17 days were April. By the 6th we were already on Miyajima, the rainiest day of the trip! Finnair is such a great route into Japan. Having watched your travel video, next time i am considering the land and straight onto the bullet train option, although i love Tokyo so much.
Thanks for your fantastic vlogs, which I used (sorry!) to cure my jet lag after returning to Japan from Europe. As a former cast member at TDR your videos brought back fond memories. I’m also considering taking my kids to Shanghai and Hong Kong Disney so your other vlogs are also really helpful. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!!!! Oh I hope you do go to Shanghai - it's so fab! The only park I haven't been to is Hong Kong - I hope to go in the next few years! Thanks again! :D
Oh wow you must be soooooo excited!!!! December is going to be fab, winter is an amazing season in Japan - if you're there at the end of the month you may see me, I'll be hanging around Tokyo for new years!!!
Wow, thank you for the little shoutout!! That totally made my morning; I just about spit out my morning coffee I was so surprised! Excited to watch your adventures this trip! I'm glad you enjoyed Finnair so much. I've always found them and Iceland Air to be quite lovely.
Glad to see you made it all the way to Kanazawa from London via Finland! How can you be so functional after such a super long trip!!?? I would stay the night in Tokyo before heading for Kanazawa...
I may do that next time!!! I find the bullet train quite relaxing - so it wasn't too bad - and I can sleep on planes! But yes this trip was quite a trek!!!
I can!!! The best link is here m.japan-rail-pass.co.uk/mobile/?currency-code=GBP&ap=b6021as&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6ICf-K6n4gIVBLvtCh0AKgw_EAAYASAAEgJVhvD_BwE
Hi Natasha! New subscriber here. Your videos are so informative and fun to watch. I am heading to Japan this October and will be buying a JR pass, however, I do not need to activate it right away. Do you recommend picking up the pass as soon as I land, or wait until the date I need it activated comes closer? If I wait, could I get it activated at a station like Tokyo or Ueno? Thanks for help, keep up the awesome videos!
Oh YAY WELCOME! Hope you're excited for your Japan trip! You don't need to pick up your JR Pass straight away - and actually I've always found the queues at Tokyo Station to be much less than at the airport. So if I were you I would wait and pick it up at Tokyo Station when you need it - that way you'll wait a lot less!!! Hope it helps!
This vlog was awesomee!! I loved how you added in all these mini details and it was just very fun to watch :) As a vegetarian im curious about the vego options in japan and thought maybe thatd be a good video idea? Also it seems like you're fluent in japanese as well which is so cool!!
Thanks so much!!! Yeah a video on vegetarian options would be fab! It's so funny because I'm not vegetarian (although I eat vegetarian most of the time!), it's my partner who is veggie so I always looks for good options for him as I like to have great food together, and that's why I always find the veggie options! Thanks so much for the suggestion, a video like that would be a good idea! Thanks for the comment!!! :D
I hope You go to Victoria & Albert’s it’s so Beautiful there!!!! And they do have a Vegetarian Menu they have Lovely Seafood selections and the Menu is 7 courses. I hope I was Helpful❤️
Narita, but last time I was there was a long time ago and I don't think many people knew about the passes back then. I didn't need to pre order or any thing, just turned up to a little booth near the platform showed the man my passport and said how long I was here for and he did all the rest.
I wonder how many years this trip took off your lives? The only place you did not go was Fukushima. I guess the thought of 100's of metric tons of radioactive waste being dumped into the air and water every day since 2011 did not concern you.
Yeah it was a busy trip! We actually did look at heading into or around the Fukushima prefecture but it was too cold in the months we visited! The risk of radioactivity is very low - especially if you know what to eat and not to eat. Fukushima needs the tourism business to help bring some money in; and because of the disaster it's really suffering. I think it wouldn't bother me too much to visit - my boyfriend has a phd in particle physics so I trust his judgement on these things. I also read this wonderful report about mother's in Fukushima working on gathering radioactive data from food, and since then I have been not eating a lot of mushrooms from the area (www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/03/17/national/fukushima-moms-don-lab-coats-measure-radiation-food-sand-soil/#.W6TCRpNKhQI). So I guess it's good to stay educated on the subject, read a lot, and make good judgements!
I found your videos about two weeks ago and I have not been able to stop watching them. I love them, they are so informative! Since I was five years old I have been dreaming of going to Japan. I still don't have a date yet, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I'm trying to learn from peoples' vlogs to be more prepared and yours are excellent, you show places to eat, where to buy anime/video games/Disney stuff (my three major weakness XD) and cultural places. I'm actually filling a notebook with all the info. I trully apreciate the part about the Ninja Wifi and the process of claiming/using the JR pass too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!! (✿╹◡╹)
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS COMMENT!!! This is so lovely!!! I’m so glad you find the videos useful - and it seems like we have the same interests!!! If you ever have any questions about travelling to japan let me know - I hope you get to book your trip soon!!! :D
Thank you so much for that!! I will welcome every piece of information!!（＾∀＾)The main reason why I always over think the journey is because of the plane tickets. From where I live, they cost almost two thousand USD. (⋟﹏⋞)
Hi Ivana!!! I used to fly virgin to Tokyo but sadly they stopped their Tokyo flights! I fly virgin with work a lot as well as to USA! It’s weird in that terminal I always want to head to the virgin gates! Also if you’re just going to head to Tokyo and not leave the city I wouldn’t recommend a rail pass at all! Just get a suica card and add some money to that and use that as your travel card around Tokyo. If you’re leaving the city and going to Kyoto, Osaka, or anywhere further away I’d recommend getting a week long JR Pass as you’ll save money for sure. If you’re not planning on leaving then no need for a pass! I hope that helps!

Thanks so much again!!! :D
Awesome, i was in Japan for early April 2018. I look forward to seeing this series!
Maybe we passed each other!!!
It literally may have happened considering we also took the Finnair route to Narita, although we did not go to Kanazawa this time unfortunately, love that city!
Aw next time!!! My flight was on April 6th - wouldn’t it have been funny if it were the same one!!!
March 29th we left London, i am aware technically that is not April but the majority of the 17 days were April. By the 6th we were already on Miyajima, the rainiest day of the trip!

Glad to see you back in Japan! That said, I also love your weekly vlogs which made me binge several seasons of Hunted.
Omg that show!!! You know I haven't seen the last episode of the celebrity one?! I'm too scared!!!
I just found your videos and they are amazing! Thank you for showing the process of claiming/using the JR pass too
Oh wow you must be soooooo excited!!!! December is going to be fab, winter is an amazing season in Japan - if you're there at the end of the month you may see me, I'll be hanging around Tokyo for new years!!!
This video was amazing!
Thanks so much Deborah!
Yaaaay new Japan series! 😀🎉
Yup!!! Lot of tips and trains to come!!!
OMG!!! I love Paddington!!!
This reminds me of my trip to London a year ago!
Paddington is such a wonderful station!
Wow, thank you for the little shoutout!! That totally made my morning; I just about spit out my morning coffee I was so surprised!
Excited to watch your adventures this trip! I'm glad you enjoyed Finnair so much. I've always found them and Iceland Air to be quite lovely.
No worries Buffy!!! Thanks for the comment! Finnair was fab - I'll lookout for flights from Iceland Air! Thanks again!
I spotted a Hitachi made train which had a water leak from air conditioner on the opening day (1:50). Does that run OK now?
Oh I think so! Wow you have a keen eye!!!
I miss flying so much ☹️
日本を紹介してくれてThank You！！
どういたしまして！Commentくれてありがとうございます！
Glad to see you made it all the way to Kanazawa from London via Finland! How can you be so functional after such a super long trip!!?? I would stay the night in Tokyo before heading for Kanazawa...
I may do that next time!!! I find the bullet train quite relaxing - so it wasn't too bad - and I can sleep on planes! But yes this trip was quite a trek!!!
Hello Natasha....not sure if you'll see this message, but if you do, could you recommend somewhere to buy the Rail Pass. Thanks
I can!!! The best link is here m.japan-rail-pass.co.uk/mobile/?currency-code=GBP&ap=b6021as&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6ICf-K6n4gIVBLvtCh0AKgw_EAAYASAAEgJVhvD_BwE

I can't get enough of Japan ☺ ♥ 🇯🇵
What a rip of British trains are 30% more than the rest of Europe!
Right?! I love trains but I hardly take them here!
When will you make another japan trip video? I really miss your travel video.

Love the dots on the FinAir flight! I haven't seen that one before.
So pretty right?!
Beautiful! I'm also a travel Vlog in Japan
I hope You go to Victoria & Albert’s it’s so Beautiful there!!!! And they do have a Vegetarian Menu they have Lovely Seafood selections and the Menu is 7 courses. I hope I was Helpful❤️
Your tips are always helpful! Thanks so much again!
Wow last time I was there and got my JR rail pass it was just one old dude behind a little window and I was the only other person around
Where were you?! Kagoshima?!
Narita, but last time I was there was a long time ago and I don't think many people knew about the passes back then. I didn't need to pre order or any thing, just turned up to a little booth near the platform showed the man my passport and said how long I was here for and he did all the rest.
遠くから長い旅、日本を楽しんできたでしょう。
はい！日本は私の一番好きな国です！
Good morning, good afternoon, good morning
I was so confused!!!!
I know the feeling, most of last week I only got two hours sleep a day
You are so Cute! I Loved your trip to Japan! It was like I was with You🤗.
Thanks so much Debra! Always nice to hear from you!
