How do you guys survive from mosquito bites?

The thing about the names is concerning...my last name is 12 letters on its own, and I've already run into occasional issues (even in the US) with fitting my full name on some documents. Deleting the middle name would probably help (especially since the namesake for it was kinda a jerk), but there still remains a first name of moderate length. I'd rather not shorten my last name, if I could avoid it: there's some historical significance to it (dates back more than 1000 years, and directly links to...some rather famous monarchs).

Squatting in the parking lot eating sweets was SUCH a a vibe, love it 🥰

HAHAHAHA.....White chicks in Japan hilarious. You sure dress like two typical white chicks, and not Japanese.

For Romanians, it is still expensive to visit Japan, even if the Yen is weak, as the Romanian leu is even weaker... 🫠 (and same as Japan, the salaries are stagnant and the prices keep rising...) still hope to be able to visit soon! 🤞 Great video as always! 😍

May I know what time do the shops usually open for business ? I am thinking of dropping by this Omotesanso before my flight home at 1700 hrs

I watched a yt short talking about how certain restaurants up-charge the English menu prices when compared to the Japanese menus. Some of the commenters were saying how rude/scammy/anti tourist that was, though when placing it in the perspective of how little natives make it'd be bad if prices were increased in general for everyone. Since it may turn some everyday things into luxuries for locals. Such as how the abundance of tourists is increasing the prices of hotels due to limited availability, making it difficult for natives to travel within their own country on their salary & already very limited vacation days.

Also Tokyo is not Japan. Conibinis are not nearly as prevalent elsewhere.

six years ago the yen was 107 to the US dollar now its 161! (Borat voice) Very nice... king in the castle!

Almost 7 years for me and I still don't speak Japanese. Thankfully I still understand Australian. lol

I was at the whiskey bar last November.

What, tako yaki without tako???. It's like pasta primavera without vegetables. Oden, the best is daikon with spicy mustard

My favorite country to visit, by far... 😀

Happone lition monton de lichion😂😂😂

no kidding I had to write my full name four times in the same page when submitting my move out of city at the city hall. And I have 3 surnames lol

Japan is expensive bro

girl on right took laughing gas

Aloha from Maui 🌈 I'm enjoying the last 10 days of my month in Fukuoka. I am looking forward to calling Japan home when I finish at UH Manoa in about 2 years. You both are great and I am always looking forward to your videos. Thanks for all the laughs, good information, and inspiration. 　行ってきます　🙂

I am in Tokyo on a Student Visa right now and I stayed on a working holiday visa before working at different places. I am not 100% sure I want to stay after the two years yet ... I love Japan and I want to stay but sadly working for money is super important (I'd rather get money without working though 😅) and the working environment in Japan is sooooo bad especially if I compare to Germany ... 10 days off work vs 30 days no paid sick days vs paid sick days ~1000¥ minimum wage vs 12€ ( ~2100¥) Minimum wage and not to forget being kinda forced to go to 飲み会 after work and having to work overtime without getting paid for it and the strickt hierarchy and such. Also where is the low rent? ^^V I pay 100.000¥ for 24m² ... in my "expensive" home country I pay ~100.000¥ for 60m² in a big expensive city

Leaving friends wasn't difficult for me, didn't really have any xD Paperwork is often considered to be a con, but I guess the biggest con is working here. Work pressure is high and companies for teaching English are often toxic underpaying places. ^^"

The walkability of Japan I can't even imagine how amazing it is 🥲 been living in SoCal my whole life and needing a car for everything SUCKS

That's true love ❤️ "it's edible" 😂

what happened to the dude with the fro?

💯% agree with your points 👌😊

Trying to get to Japan next year. Took forever to get my passport. You two make coming to Japan, let alone living in Japan, the adventure of a lifetime.

Laughing Devil (kanji) made me LOL 🙂Change you name before moving here 🙂 Listed cons sounded so familiar. When Tokyo Lens presented hermit who lived in the countryside school it also felt familiar, because sometimes when you live in isolated area it requires skills to live (heat oven, carry water, make food,... just thoughts countryside vs urban life.. and they both have pros and cons..)

I genuinely like this style of the 33 questions of Vogue(?). Anyway really cool video😊👍🏻

More Emma and Sarah!

Me doing a double take and having to rewind thinking they said: DROP YOUR PANTS! COME TO JAPAN! 🤣

My husband suggested moving to Japan, and man is it tempting to try and see if we can do it. Do you have any thoughts on Tokyo vs Osaka? I've heard Osaka is a bit more liberal, outgoing, and easier to live in as an ex pat

As an American who lives in a walkable city of 3000 people, that aspect of Japan really didn't impress me. Most Japanese cities of similar size offer similar levels of walkability, the difference is in the big cities and their suburbs, that is where it is noticeable. On the other hand The ice cream vending machines though were pretty nice, and some of the natural sites are incredible, although the US has similar sites as well.

Tokyo isnt japan

working in Japan for two and a half years, when you wake up on Saturday, you are in Japan.

They tried that thing with the rentable e-scooters and e-bikes here in Germany (and probably in many other countries), too. And let me tell you, this is something that I believe only really works out in a place like Japan where people actually treat stuff that doesn't belong to them with care and respect. Here, people just left their rented e-scooters and bikes standing around everywhere when they didn't need them anymore, threw them in rivers or vandalized them in other ways. Plus, the general carelessness of people using them and the fact that German cities aren't really built for cycling led to a lot of accidents.

Economists are saying that the Japanese economy is expected to grow and the exchange rate of the yen will be going up. Best to buy yen now while the rate is low if you are planning a trip in the near future.

yeah i paybills online so yeah i don't have to even go anywhere same with food or anything

@ 10:35 True

Im a regular visitor to Japan. Love checking in with the Commonwealth expats, I can easily distinguish from tourists.

I am an American living in Japan and I went back to America 5 times last year so traveling is not too bad.

Forgot to mention Racism and Xenophobia

The cost of living in Australia is also bad right now along with many other countries.

Well it would be a quick walk in a city for ice, a lot of cities have convenience stores no?

i just had 2 amazing weeks in Japan and loved every single thing about it. You're right the Yen to AUD was super amazing and everything was super cheap compared to here in Australia. Go now if you're planning on going.

Last year i finally came to tokyo after wanting to my entire life. I’m 34 and came on a student visa. It really sucks I can’t use the working holiday system but I’ll try to swap to a working visa next year because I love it here so much!!! It’s not impossible when you’re older, just a lot more hoops to jump through

As a side hustle, why don't the two of you start a business assisting foreigners in filling out forms? LoL!

A Foreigner in Japan will always stay a foreigner there.

I'm a super persnickety detail oriented person and I actually weirdly kind of am... soothed... by all the paperwork and order that Japan has? I straight up enjoyed trying to figure out how to do our gomi correctly. I also am fully aware that I am not normal.

All good things to know!!!

Many of the cons are just cons cocerning moving abroad, not Japan specifically. Other than that - a good video,as usual :)

What if your Japan name doesn't match your passport?
