A paradise, lots of trees, beautiful nature, quiet, not crowded tourist destination, no heavy trapic, fast transportation, healty foods.

We just returned from our first trip to Japan two weeks ago. We did the following and loved it: Tokyo - Kyoto - Takayama - Kanazawa - Korube Gorge - Hakone. We loved Kanazawa the most, but enjoyed things everywhere we went. Such lovely people, beautiful scenery and absolutely fantastic cuisine.

Man i am seeing a million subscribers on this channel from right now. Its so underated and deserve so many views. Guys keep up your work

Japan Guide was my first and is still my go to website for travel advice for visiting regions of Japan - now up to my fifth (and counting) trip to Japan over the past 2.5 years. I quite enjoyed these videos, however I find them enormously condensed - 7 day journey into three videos? It'd be great if there were individual videos for each particular day so that there's more time dedicated to each location's attractions besides the quick fleeting visit to one or two main attraction and the obligatory (paid/sponsored?) accommodation at the conclusion. Either way, just my opinion... keep up the great work with spotlighting the paths less traveled by foreign visitors!

I absolutely cannot wait to plan another trip to Japan with this new route in mind. Thank you so much for the work that you put into this series and channel as a whole!

All the three episodes were treat to the eyes. I completely enjoyed the well planned trip through the beautiful country. Thank you for taking us on this journey. Japan is always full of surprises. Arigato Gozaimasu.

Hakusan Heisenji is so beautiful that I almost cried at the sight of the scenery.

So inspiring. Been to Japan before but obviously did the mainstream tokyo-kyoto pacific route. Was now looking SPECIFICALLY for a more rural countryside Japan trip and this is is EXACTLY what I was longing to see. THANK YOU

just got finished my 3rd episode. This is the best trip ever for the people from outside of japan. The route is really gem for us, im planning to travel in Japan but not able to find that where i need to start from but now i got all the infomation from you and thanks alot, im gonna visit heaven on earth, best place in asia.

Clean air, clean streets, well organized towns with a lovely taste, awesome food, courteous people and very safe and excellent transportation system...

I was counting the days to this video be released! The videos are so beautiful, informative, "direct to the point", as always! A must watch for anyone planning a visit to Japan! Thanks, guys, for such great content!

I love japan-guide.com. Every time I go to Japan I depend on the site as a starting point. I do wish they have more info on lesser-known attractions. Also I need more videos of Sam Evans enjoying hot springs haha

I come to this channel to see shots of Sam Evans enjoying food and I am never disappointed. Can we get a montage of those shots at some point?

Love this new golden route in Japan! Thx for sharing!

Oh my goodness, I've fallen in love with Japan!!!!

Ahhhh kyoto😍😍😍

This is just....pure....inspirational.....

Really enjoyed this series!

Awesome trilogy. I wish it was longer.

Great cinematography and editing, absolutely professional level work!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for posting this series. Its very informative.😊👍

Watched all three episodes , Sam Evans charming and inspired, the editing is spectacular and the scenery captured - out of this world! This series is one of the best tours of Japan.

This makes me so excited to plan another trip to japan! Love it!

Love this trip from Tokyo to Kyoto 💕 I might just take this route in May 🙏🏼 Thank you.

Beautiful as usual.

for all who want to go to fushimi Inari: go all the way up and be prepared for tourists…lots of them, at least until you get to the upper half of the shrine, afterwards they get less and you can enjoy it really well

Amazing and inspiring series - thank you Sam and team 🙏

Amazing ! You guys made it easy for me planning my itinerary . Thank you ! Well done

What a great 7 day itinerary - well done! ...we might have to try it on our next visit.

Absolutely wonderful travel and beautiful place. Thanks for your informative vlogs

just happened to see your videos of 7 days Japan Tour...love it... when i visit Japan, i will your follow this route....a very relaxing itinerary, thank you Sam😍

I’m glad you showed the Kanazawa station torii! Great memories!

dude, your video production is really amazing. Adding this route to my bucket list. Great stuff!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. In fact, I can say the same for most everything that you guys do. Great work!

Yeah, finally.

Short vlogs very professionally done, and edited to capture and maintain interest.

Thx dude Japan 🇯🇵 is Awsome like your channel 😀😀😀😀😀😀 I love this channel and I love japan 🇯🇵 thanks for making this video 😀😀😀😀

Thanks again for the tip about the Hokuriku route. We took it two weeks ago and it was amazing! We stopped also at Nagano on our way to Kanazawa. Nagano is small but also lovely city with the amazing Zenkoji shrine!

I'm SO envious of you!! Brilliant Videos and it's really nice you find unknown towns w such hidden gems. I've always been a Japan fan, but was always embarrassed to admit I'm a Japan-phile till now. Just subscribed. Arigato. -Samantha

The most recomended sam evans....!

really well made video

More video at each stop would make these far more enjoyable.

Fantastic! I’d imagine it would almost be a completely different trip depending on the season too. Many of those places I have seen but a few to add to the list as well.

Thanks for giving such travel inspiration and tips. Wondering if all these doable during winter period. Will definitely checkout the travel Low Seasons in japan to do this!

ダイジェストすぎるよ。映像が綺麗だったから尚更もったいないよ。

Japan guide Japan guide All day All night

Love your video Sam! Have a question, does all the route taken for this 7 days trip covered by JR Pass?

japan is a great civilation - good jop Man

Very nice contribution and what an interesting channel. Subscribed. Does someone know the soundtrack: Beginning at 1:38 and 4:43? Realy fits.

Great video!! Would be nice if you could leave the links of the places you stayed so we could book the same ryokans.

You do so much each day - isn’t it stressful? Do you have enough time at each attraction to enjoy it fully? I love this route but I can’t comprehend how you manage all the travel in addition to the attractions every day. The videos are beautifully filmed !! Also i‘m fascinated by how all your shots seem to be devoid of people- do you film at odd times? Thank you for sharing these beautiful shots! Also I would like to ask when you travelled (which time of year)?:)

Amazing video and I am definite,y considering taking this new route. The pen,y thing I’m worried about is that the amount of ryokans seem very costly and I’m wondering if anyone knows if there can be alternative accommodations in the given areas of this new gold route? Thank you!

Just amazing. Is the Japan rail pass valid for this new golden route?

Looks like a great trip. What do you do with your luggage on each of these legs?

Your videos should be so much longer!!

Tasty Japanese cruisine.

may I ask whether the arch pass covers all your transportation covered in all 3 episodes?

I have a question regarding luggage, if I want to stop just for a few hours on this trip (I have the JR pass you are mentionning), do the stations provide luggage storage?

Hi Sam, NOt sure you are still around here... but I watched these 4 years ago and was going to travel March 2020... well that didn't happen. So, I am finally going next month and am debating, as only have 3 nights for route to get to Kyoto. I decided to skip monkey park although love them and go straight to Kurobe then one night in Takayama and one in Kanazawa before heading off to Kyoto. Its a bit of a rush I know. debating whether its worth while to to Takayama or stay in Toyama. Any thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks!

what camera did you all shoot with? so nice.

Hello :) Can you tell me about what hour did mr Evans arrive to Kyoto? Or how long it was to do all the activities before arriving to Kyoto? Thanks!

Can you provide link to place you stayed in Kyoto? Thanks

Hii Videos are really good but too much information has been missed. Can u share your detailed travel itinerary. It will really helpful.

What is the best time of year to make this trip, and about what would be the cost?

I plan to Kyoto for 3 days next Apr 2019, how's the budget for accomodations, transportations and meals exactly the same trip as yours? arrigato 🙏👍😍

Hi Sam!! Do you know if in every train station provides a luggage storage service? Thank youuu

what happened to the bike? did you have to take it back to the original point of rental or did you leave it somewhere down the road?

I watched this series a couple of times now.. Plus stalking your posts on your website.. Thank you for your info.. My questions is.. Does the local train line covered by the Hokuriku Arch Pass? And how/where can I check the bus fares and the local train line fares (if not covered by the pass)? :D

How much is the ideal budget for this 7 day trip from tokyo to kyoto? I also wanted to stay in ryokan type accom 😊

The golden route is also called the beginner's route.

Sam what time of the year did y’all film this series? The weather looks nice

Is there a fee for the gardens?

Hi , what is the name of the restaurant in Kanazawa because when I search the name on the subtitle its says cloths store

I just wonder how do we gonna keep our luggage during the trip? We can’t carry the luggage all the way till we finish our day itinerary then only heading to the hotel

Good information but also read about it you don’t mention about the daily hotel check in process. I mean we hav to change hotel everyday. Tell us the process

How do we deal with the luggage when following this fast itineray?

Doesn't it get expensive staying in all those ryokan within the span of a week ?

How much does this trip cost per person?

Where do they store luggage while they visit these spots?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I want 😍

its a nice route but to much from the way to kyoto and to less kyoto/tokyo itself... would only recommend it for ppl who go a lot to japan... otherwise if its your first time just go Tokyo->Kyoto->Nara/osaka-> Hiroshima(+miyajima) with the jr pass

I counted more than 7 days 🤔

Raja nazrin syah is my, Anna Choo husband.

Actually, he just three days two nights at Japan to run away from somebody.

mmmmmm
