We then hit up Akihabara in the coolest vintage arcade shop before ending our time having our first drink in a traditional Japanese izakaya
Lets go on a adventure shall we?
YOU DA BEST

oh my gosh I got totally hooked on Gashapon in japan 🤣😅 have you ever done a toy capsule machine before?!
The calcifer in the middle of the studio ghibli shop nearly had me in tears might be the coolest thing I have ever seen
No unfortunately 🥺but I definitely would if ever go to Japan,thanks for showing us
So what's the average cost of a gashabon or are they all different prices?
@@dalayneygirl8059depending on the popularity and quality, the anime and small gachapon usually around 300 yen to 500 yen ($3-$5). Though I had seen 200 yen but it’s already so rare. Then there are more gachapon stuff that are price between 1000-2000 yen ($10-20) this is more like lucky gachapon stuff, the items varied from clothes, hat, electronics stuff like usb cable to mini flashlight and then if you lucky: an iPhone and such.
Yup every time I visit the East Asian countries, I will take some home lol, Japan, China and Korea had a huge selection, also Singapore and lately here in Indonesia capital city, I see gachapon machine popping up😊
I love those Japanese episodes so much. Your excitement is infectious :)
Oh my gosh thank you so much hehe I’m glad you enjoy them! 🥹🌸🌸🌸
I found your channel via Disney in detail. I'm watching this older vlog marathon style. I really enjoy your content. You really have an eye for detail no pun intended 😂 as I'm making this comment the end of this vlog says your next vlog is Disney Sea so I am giddy excited. As I'm watching your vlogs I'm communicating with my daughter who is currently in Tokyo She and her friend are going on the silver seas cruise for 2 weeks then coming back for Disneyland and Disney sea.
I mean you can’t help but get hooked on each game and character and experience you showed! What fun! My eldest son returns tomorrow from a month in Tokyo and Osaka…I am extra excited to see all his video footage now!
heheh oh my gosh I bet he will have some fun memories and stories to share! 😍 I hope he had the best time!
Gashapon is nice because they are cute, collectible, quirky, inexpensive and satisfies your shopping urge for cheap.
Oh wow, everything looked amazing 🤩 I don't know how I would survive going into those stores selling cute merch 🥹 I love everything 🩷🩷🩷 I'm sure the gashapon would kill me too😢 Japan is amazing 🤩
hehe it really is, it was so hard not buying everything, they really know how to do merch well! 🤣
i'm so grateful to have met you guys on your very first Japan trip! 😭😭
it honestly made my year - and i couldn't have imagined a more perfect time with the two of you.
all my love and hugs from jonathon & i 🙇🏽♂️🙇🏼♂️
It was the highlight of my trip meeting you both 🥹🥹🌸🌸🌸🌸 we hope we see you again! 🌸🌸🥹🥹🥹 thank you for a beautiful time!
Such a fun vlog! We really enjoyed seeing all of your fun with the Gashapon. How did the large princesses fit in the ball? Dean looked like he was about to hit his head in that tunnel🤣 Don’t think I’ll ever get there myself, so it’s a real treat to follow along on your dream trip💛Thanks for sharing!
Heheh they are like click together it was quite cool actually 🤣 I thought the design was super clever! Hahaha I know the tunnel was so small wasn’t it hehe 😅💕 thank you so much for watching!
Never clicked so fast in my life, just been watching the travel day and researching japan airlines. Thank you so much for these videos
heheh thank YOU so much for watching I really hope you enjoy it! This was a fun 48 hours!
Fantastic Catherine really enjoying the Japan vlogs 💕
Hehe this makes me so happy thank you Sandra 🥹🌸🌸🌸
Your excitement is so contagious and cute haha so glad you both had a great time!!
hehehe thank you so so much 😍🌸
OMGGGGGG!!! Literally my DREAM!!!!!! The Studio Ghibli one is my faveeeeeee I could spend hours there just to appreciate all the craftsmanship and cuteness of everything!!!! Thank you for this vlogggg😘😘😘
😍 heheh right! thank you so much for watchinnngggg ~ 🌸
Thank you so much for showing the trip to and exploring around Sunshine City as my husband & I are definitely planning to visit when we go 😍 12 days and counting!!!
Eeeek! I deffo reccomend it there’s so much to do here especially if it’s a rainy day! It’s a great place to explore!
This was so interesting!! I’ve been wanting to go to Japan more recently, and just looking at all the gashapon places and tiny alleys of food/drink is so intriguing to me.
Hehehe I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🥹🌸🌸🌸 thank you so much for watching
Your travel vlogs are so wonderful to watch - I’ve been suffering with anxiety and OCD recently, and I put your travel playlists on to help me calm down and bring me back to reality. Thank you for making such beautiful videos x
I love your Japan Vlog! I am a Japanese and I'm so happy that you have interest in our placement and culture! I highly recommend to go to Pokemon Cafe @ Nihonbashi, and also try to visit Ghibli Museum @ Mitaka. You need to book the ticket and time for both of placements but there is wonderful place! Oh, and Tokyo station has a lot of fun things.
Ohhh thank you so so much for the suggestions eheheh these are really helpful! We tried to book the Pokemon Cafe :') and we missed it! Hopefully we will get it next time! 🌸
Hands down, this is my favourite Japan travel series I've seen on RUclips. As I said in my comment from travel day, you are clearly coming to Japan with equal levels of enthusiasm and knowledge. The fact you're pixelating the faces of people in the back is a level of cultural knowledge that I see VERY rarely from vloggers who don't live in Japan. I am so impressed and happy. Every vlog has triggered wonderful memories of my time living in Japan, which is a wonderful feeling. I completely forgot about Sunshine City but I remember spending MANY weekends there spending stupid amounts of money.
Also, you mentioned wishing you could have a whole suitcase, and honestly, look into Japan Post options. Mailing things home is pretty easy. I did a quick search, and you send a 20kg box home for about 11,000円 by surface mail. It's worth looking up how much it would cost to have an extra suitcase vs sending home.
Oh my gosh this is a huge huge compliment thank you so much! Sunshine city is such a good place to venture for a rainy day! We were there alllll day and we still only covered two floors lol 😅 so many things to see and do!
ohhh also thank you so much for the tips about japan post, I should have done that and bought loads of food and shipped it over (like melon pan lol)
@@catherinekayy oh nooooo!! For some reason I thought you were on maybe a week or two delay or something. Which is ridiculous now that I think of it.
Love your videos so much! You put so much effort in to show us everything and give detailed descriptions! Convincing me to go to Japan!
ohh thank you so so much 😍🌸
Great vlog Catherine! We love Shinjuku at night too, it’s so mesmerising! Did you go to the new Kabukicho Tower? They have cool gashapon there too 😊♥️
We didn’t go in there! There’s so much to do isn’t there 🤣 we need to go back lol 😆
@@catherinekayy There's so much! The Sunshine City looks amazing, on our list for next time! 🥰
Thank 😊 ❤❤❤ for sharing 😊
thank you for watching 😍
The Ghibli store was everything!
Hehehe it’s soo cool amirite 🥹🌸🌸🌸
I loooooove your Japan Vlogs so much! 😍💕🤩 thank you for making these!
oh my gosh thank you so much! And thank you so much for watching 🌸
Oh my gosh. I think I would love Gashapon hunting! Also- your cheese fondu meal looked incredible (: the merch in Japan appears to be on a different level. So cute! Can’t wait for the next vlog (:
The cheese fondue was deeeeelicious I would highly reccomend if you ever go! Omgosh 🤤
Your vlogs are sooooooo fun and magical!!! I love watching your excitement and adventures in Japan!!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!!

Oh wow thank you so much! This means the world! Super happy your enjoying them Tamara!
Loving your Japan series so very much. Am on my own health journey at the moment and am down 3st 4lbs so far! Dean never seems too happy haha but assume he is loving it! You both look great and Catherine you must feel amazing to have been on such a dream trip looking so beautiful (and Dean looking great too!) ☺️👍🏻
Oh wow hehe thank you so so much 🌸 heheheh Dean has permo RBF lol (also hes camera shy hehe) 🤣 it's so funny he makes me laugh hahah 🌸 Thank you so much for the support and the wonderful words of encouragement! YOU DA BEST
This is the most perfect 48 hours in Tokyo! I'd need a suitcase for all the cute stuff you can buy in Akihabara etc. It's been my dream to visit Japan for soooooo long. I'm glad I found your channel, your vids are amazing.
🥹🌸 oh my gosh thank you so so much ehhehe 🥹🌸
We made the mistake to go to sunshine city on a weekend and that gachapon place was fiillleeeed with people! You couldnt even see the gacha machines while walking through the aisles. It's a great spot, and if you plane on going avoid the weekends or local holidays!
There's also an amazing ramen spot in the sunshine city called Chukasoba Aoba that I highly recommend!
Anyways, great video! Sunshine city is a must and Ikebukuro has the best claw machines :3
Ohhhhh yummy! Hehehe thank you so so much for the reccomendation! This is amazing 🥹🌸🌸🌸 yes I can imagine it getting very busy on a weekend!
AMAZING......Loved it. Can't wait for the next one xxx

Hehe oh my gosh thank you so much 🥹🥹🌸🌸🌸
24:38 i love this outfit on you! i think the shade of pink of your cardigan really compliments you and i really like how you paired the pinks of your earrings and purse
hehe oh my gosh thank you so much heheh 🌸
@@catherinekayy you're welcome ^w^
we use to have these as kids growing up. they were in the front of kmart here in America. they were a bit smaller and sometimes had like stickers in them or i remember one had like football helmets that i use to collect (hated football dont know why i collected them lol), spice girl stuff, and pokemon. but id turn the capsules into cat toys by putting beads into them. It's weird to me that people treat this like a new thing. they didnt look like these though it looked more like a gumball machine with that red top and metal turn knob.
Yes we had the metal ones too! The prizes were rubbish where I lived though ahaha and tiny 🤣😆 these are next level! 🥹🥹🥹 I remember getting rings in the ones in the UK!
I got a chill when you went to the ghibli store lol I don't know why but it was so beautiful to me
hehe it was beautiful wasnt it! 🌸
❤️🤗loved it! makes me want to visit Japan someday 😅
Hehehe I totally reccomend it 🥹🌸
Looks like you had such a great time! I'll be honest, though, the narrow alleys made me nervous. 😰
Hehehe they were so fun to walk down! But I can see why some wouldn’t like it! 🥹🌸
These series is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing. Do you speak Japanese? You sound fluent. 😍 If you do, please tell us about in your next video.
Hehehe I don’t speak it unfortunately 🤣🇯🇵 I know a few sentences and words though! ✌️
The big Godzilla statue at Shinjuku roars and blows smoke every hour! Its so cool!
Ohhh Wow heheh dammnnn I wish I watched it now ehhehe 😂🌸
I know you mentioned cosplaying, but a lot of the unique stuff you see you might also be able to snag at a con. Artists alleys have unique stuff, but vendors usually import and get stuff direct from Japan. I got a super high quality Pokémon plushies from 2 cons with Japanese tags on them. They were pricey. But it was worth it.
You might also be able to order that stuff online too!
Heheh yep! Whenever we go to cons we see a lot of this stuff 🥹🌸 (it’s normally 4x the price tho lol)
Amazing vlog as usual ❤
Thank you so so much 😍
Petition to get you all the sponsorships so you can continue travelling and making these vlogs ty!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehehe 🤣😂🌸🌸 aww thank you so much! Hehehe

My girlfriend and I are wanting to go to Japan sometime next year and this is only solidifying that decision LOL I love these vlogs!!
heheh this makes me so happy, im so glad your enjoying them! YOU DA BEST 🌸
I feel I’d come back with a suitcase full of just gachapon 😅 I used to get one every time I went toys r us when I was little!
Hehehe 😂 I can totally see how that would happen they are addictive haha 😂
awweeeeee I am sooo happy to see you enjoying yourself in sunshine city~ I remember you got a Totoro gotcha too right? I actually have a double and wondering if I can send it to you~
Heheh I do I ended up getting two! Oh my gosh that is so so kind of you 🥹🌸🌸🌸
bought back so many memories ,I was in Japan in April with my son , we went into super potato :)
Hehehe it’s so cool isn’t it 🥹🌸🌸🌸
the little claw machines are the worst!! i’ve never won anything from the little ones haha! and it’s so funny, i’ve been to sunshine city a million times (for the pokemon center haha) and didn’t know about the gacha garden! that’s so cool!! they’re addicting lol
heheh they are so hard to do! I managed to finally win a little kirby on one of them later in the trip lol, I dont know if I filmed it though ehhehe

aa so cute, I would love to visit the Ghibli store
with those side street bars and restaurans the only thing my brain kept saying was 'that would never be legal here' lol
🤣 thats very true Im sure health and safety would be boring and put some sort of regulation in place lol
i need to live at that pokemon centre and ghibli store. Did you go to ghibli park while in Japan? That's one on my bucket list :)
I didn’t unfortunately because I couldn’t get tickets 🥲🥲🌸⭐️ hehee hopefully one day tho!
I remember getting lost trying to find that shopping mall
Oh nO 🤣🤣🌸 I can see how easy that would be lol 😂
We were here. ♥ from Romania!
🥹🌸🌸
Do certain people ask to not be in your vlogs? I noticed some people are blurred and some aren’t!
No I didn't get anyone telling me not to vlog or anything, I just blur the faces that are super obvious in the shot ✨
❤
OMG the cheese
:') omgg louise it was SOOO GOOD haha 🤣 I loved it!
Love you and sweet Dean!
Oh thank you so much 🌸 what a lovely thing to say!

@catherinekayy It's my last day in Japan on to Korea tomorrow but had a great time as always in Japan. especially having a friend come along who's never been and showing him around. I'll be back next year. It may be my 6th time here but won't be my last. I hope your having another great adventure and keep those Japan vlogs coming!
I would need an extra suit case for the way home 😂
