Apart from your video editing style, what I love the most is how you show us different packaging designs, posters, merch, brand store experiences, etc. ❤
the only filipino travel vloggers you should follow if you have good taste, like an alternative experience and aren't basic AF. Keep up the good work Ralph and Sam I have no doubt I'll run into you sooner or later out in the wild LOL
I also don't take those designer bags when I travel unless it's just for some event like a formal dinner or I will only use it and put it in my carry on and use it only for that purpose. If it's for moving around the city I will just use a *hotdups* or any of those worry free bags. The last thing I want to worry about is my bag and enjoy my vacation. Love all of your choices.
Omg!!!! Ralph and Saaaaaaaam, whattadayyyyyy seeing both of you IRL! I was on customer immersion day and it was so great bumping into you! O.M.G. 😊❤🎉 See you around the hood!
Hahaha hi!!! It was amazing bumping into you finally! It made our day when you introduced yourself. Hope we didn't scare away your customer 🤣 And yess, see you around the neighborhood 🌳🌾🐱
@@RalphSamNo, you didn't scare the customer at all. She was on the phone and asked after if you guys were celebrities because I shrieked. Lol. I said - Yes. A-Listers. RUclips royalty. 😊 Well, I scared both of you with my disheveled hair. Lol. Gawd. What a workday. Also, I meant KL R (near Orga and not Eton!) --- Not revealing more. Making this cryptic. Lol. Seee yaaah around! ❤
I think *hotdups* bags are very good, and you won't buy them and put them in your closet and never use them! Of course, I think it depends on the individual! Just like I bought a lot of watches, I did the same thing, and I felt helpless when I saw so many watches! In fact, I only like a few of them!
I just came back from Yokohama. I love that you give us more options that are still accessible and affordable for us. I have actually visited some of the places you have recommended in your past videos and I will try to go to the others you have featured. I'm not sure if you're into retro cafes in Japan, I love going to them. I hope you can feature them in your subsequent videos.
That's awesome! Hope you enjoyed the ones you got to try from our past videos. We appreciate a good kissaten or retro japanese coffee shop. One of our favorite ones is in Fukuoka! We'll definitely try to visit more of them in Tokyo next time. Thanks for the recommendation! 😊
Thanks guys for sharing your recos where to eat, I just came back from Tokyo and I enjoyed eating kamameshi and yakitoris solo,!!! In Ginza, Yum I loooove there ponzu dipping sauce
@RalphSam I really did and I am already thinking of going back, the autumn foliage in Inokashira park in Kichikoji on Dec 5th was dreamy and romantic, I love Kichijoji, I also explored local low key neighborhoods like the Minowabashi area, I got to ride the last tram car in Tokyo, very vintage looking tram.
@chazeljoaquin1387 wow, thanks for the recs! inokashira was also on our list last time but we didn't get to visit. the tram sounds cool too. will look up minowabashi 😊
@@RalphSam please search Sakura Tram , it is located near Minowa station, the Shopping street which is very local called Joyful Minowa is lovely, Ang daming food selections and inexpensive... No tourists at all, and tram is nearby "Joyful Minowa shopping street.
When your videos pop up on my feed I think "Ohhh, here we go, Sam and Ralph are going to threaten me with a good time!" Then I grab a drink or a snack and yell in my head "LET'S GO!"
I used to live in shinjuku it’s like a magic place all of its own . Constantly changing. I do miss it, but I don’t miss the chaos. There are so many cool indie places both upstairs and In the subnades connecting to the train station. Did you go to the government viewing area. It’s so beautiful
Never really gave Shinjuku a shot because of how busy it is, but we're glad we finally took the time to explore. It definitely surprised us! We'll try to check out the government viewing area next time.
Yeah there’s a lot going on. Lots of hidden shrines. We lived there for 23 then moved to koneji then we are moving again to Osaka for my job. Plus it has gotten to expensive for us to live there now. So it’s time to move on.
@@dottieland7061 Wow, you've lived in some cool neighborhoods! This and Koenji! good luck on your upcoming move. A trip to Osaka is overdue for us too.
Sure! This is Hotel Gracery in Shinjuku. You're right in the busiest heart of Kabukicho, so if you appreciate a lot of nightlife, location-wise you're right in the middle of everything. The hotel itself is very modern and clean. Wouldn't mind staying here again if we were in the area. ✌🏻
Tried their musk melon parfait, strawberry parfait & their mango fruit…strawberry was good but I had better musk melon tbh..probably the more expensive ones are better or have to wait when it’s full bloom season
Hi!! I love your videos:) They are super cool and helpful. I am going to Japan soon and I am interested in the hotel or apartment where you are staying, could you share the link or info with me :) Thanks so much
4:26 just curious, how were you guys able to translate her - do you guys understand some japanese or had someone translate for you? edit: just realized most of it was broken english lol

Personally drawn to interesting packaging and design, especially in Japan! Glad to hear you guys appreciate those little details too 🤍🤍

Heyyy, super appreciate it!! 🙏🙌🏻 And yes, maybe we'll bump into each other one of these days ☕️🇯🇵

Thank you for taking us with you and beautifully capturing the experience!
Woah, this is so awesome!! Thank you so much for the support @haunt_boy. It genuinely means a lot to us 😊🫶🏼
Another great video. Ralph needs to go to a Workman's store in Tokyo and get him some construction worker pants. I think it would fit his style.
Thanks! Thats on my wish list 👷🏽♂️

I think you guys would love Hokkaido! Also - I had an amazing night parfait in Sapporo in a place called Parfait Sato!
we've never been! still need to make a trip out there. will bookmark Parfait Sato ✌🏻

I went to Takano last last October, tried seasonal Pear Parfit, very nice.
now we wish we tried the pear 🍐😊
We went to that coffee shop in November, when visiting from Scotland. There was a big queue just before 12noon. He was prompt opening up.
Woah, glad we were first in line when we went. Such a cool little neighborhood spot ☕️🤎

ikimashou, @zennoodle!! 🙌🏻😋
0:46 the way i could immediately identify which hotel that window belongs to is wildddddd
If you know you know 🪟🫡🪟
Seeing Sam in the blue sweatshirt and wide slacks makes me think of Dr McCoy from the original Star Trek.
Oh you mean Ralph's outfit. Thanks for such an interesting comparison. 🖖🏽
I'm just obsessed with you two and your travels! I have my husband invested too lol
that's so sweet! thank you guys for tuning in 😊🙌🏻
Thank you for the new video, I enjoyed it as always! The parfaits looked great 😋
Thanks Kate! They were a treat 🍈🍑🤍
My weekend is complete 🫶🏼💕
Thank you!! 🤍😊
That tempura shop will definitely be going into my list! Glad to see Sam's luck with food is improving
Hahaha on this day at least! And yes, nice to dine at such a historic shop 🍤
@@RalphSam 😂
I think Sam would like a Pendleton 49er, from the 1940s and 50s. You know the difference from the collar shape. I could really see her in one.
what a cool recommendation! will look it up ✌🏻

I used the Seibu line and would use the Subnade to connect to Shinjuku station, you rarely see tourists down there.
nakakarelax talaga vlog nyo
salamat! happy weekend 🙌🏻
good job🎉
Thanks for watching 😊
Love from India 💜
Thank you for watching! 🤍
You guys can no longer roam around Tokyo without someone recognizing you lol. Happy for you both!
Happened more often on this trip! Thank you so much 🙏😊
Mind sharing where you 2 are staying and if you like it or not, great job 🙏🏻

@RalphSam Thank you much, you guys should do some sort of hotel review so we can have better idea of where to stay for different travelling purpose 🙏🏻
@gorehead8885 great suggestion! we'll consider that for our next trip 😊
Love 🫰 your videos…
thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Hey guys. Excellent content as always. I was wondering what cameras are you using in the beginning of the video.
Thanks! We like the DJI Pocket 3 for video
You guys should try Ramos Curry in Takadanobaba ! :))
Omg that looks so good. Thank you!
@ Hope you like the place if you ever go there ! Ryo the owner is super cool !!!
Which regions would you recommend for people like you who are interested in art design, photograph? Thank you
Nakameguro and Nakano Broadway for its bookstores, shops and vibes ✌🏻
omg i want to go to that fruit parlor
also what if it was literally since year 188 🤔
Tried their musk melon parfait, strawberry parfait & their mango fruit…strawberry was good but I had better musk melon tbh..probably the more expensive ones are better or have to wait when it’s full bloom season
thanks to owen for the tip 😂
ancient fruit! 🍑🍈
thanks for sharing! would love to try the strawberry. you're right, maybe it has to do with when the fruit is in season.
Hi Ralph, may I ask where'd you get your blue pocketed sweater? I'm obsessed!
Thanks! Vintage Active Joe fleece sweater from New York
Shinjuku 2 Chome Gay Town is the best night spot!
Maybe we'll check it out next time ✌🏻
The hotel looks so nice. Where did you guys stay?
gracery hotel shinjuku!
7:49 Hosho Marine's ad track XD
so that's who that was hahaha
Have to ask ! What is the sweatshirt and pants Ralph is rocking???
Vintage average joe fleece sweater
Balloon pants from 606 in Indonesia but had it altered
Thanks for asking!

Thanks so much
Hi there! On this trip we stayed at Gracery Hotel Shinjuku (in this vlog) and Dash Living (seen in our Jimbocho and Asakusa Vlog) 😊 Hope that helps!
@ thanks a lot 😘
Hi! What camera did you for your pictures in the beginning of the video?
olympus mju ii 📸
4:26 just curious, how were you guys able to translate her - do you guys understand some japanese or had someone translate for you?
edit: just realized most of it was broken english lol
we used google translate when editing to translate the words we didn't understand 😊 but you're right, she mixed in a lot of english words
one of my cats no like new dry food me bought
lol sorry to hear that!
😍 I just also uploaded a vlog about our family trip to Shinjuku ❤
hope you guys had a good trip! 🇯🇵
@RalphSam loved it !
