When I first lived in Japan, I never liked bugs (still don't). But my Japanese colleague told me cicadas spend their whole life underground and only surface in summer where they live for a week or two. It's kinda bittersweet and hence somewhat changed my dislike towards them.❤

Hey, there. Sorry to hear Chris fell ill during the trip. I hope he is feeling better.

Speedy recovery for Chris🙏

Hope Chris is feeling better. Thanks for the tours, especially the plant video!

You know the feeling when a vacation ends...kinda nice to go home, but kinda depressing too? You video made me feel that for a moment somehow haha.

Poor Chris hugs ❤ so enjoyed this film thanks Benji

I’m glad you enjoyed here in Tokyo ✌🏻😊🥳🥳🥳　また来てね☺️

At this point your editing and filming has separate fam base I love how chill the vlogs are ✨🩷

I clocked the Soranoiro plate near the very beginning of this vlog. I had an excellent carrot broth based vegan ramen there and I highly recommend it. I felt full but really lovely and light afterwards. The staff were very friendly and kind and fascinated to know more about how two foreigners had marked their ramen joint as a 'destination' on their travel itinerary (as opposed to stumbling upon it purely by circumstance). The other one in Tokyo Station is of course, T's Tan Tan. That one's very good too, if you're going for vegan ramen-- their roasted sesame style one is great too. For chicken-based ramen broth I most highly recommend Ginza Kagari Honten, which is down a dark little alley way in Ginza, easy to walk past the alley entirely and not even realise what's down there. There are also loads of Halal ramen joints, with one of the best ramen places in Tokyo being Halal, so truly everybody can eat well in Japan. If you have dietary restrictions you REALLY need to do research before heading over, dropping pins all over your google map so you'll never be caught in a certain Ward, starving and clueless about where to find halal or vegan food. May I recommend Tabelog as opposed to tripadvisor, google or yelp. Tabelog is the domestic version of the above's food reviewing sites and I don't know about anybody else, but I'd take a local's verdict before a foreigners any day (with the dietary restriction recommendations finding an exception). Great vlog Benji, thank you!

Hope Chris is all better now 🙏❤ And thank you for sharing your journey w us

Very cool! I loved seeing some of Japan. Hope Chris is feeling better by now.

I am truly thankfull for the youtube algorithms, it got me to you! I have been watching a lot of your posts, i truly loved this trip to japan (thanks for taking me with you) especially the plant shops video! You give me so much calm. And yes I have plants also, lots of orquids, succulents, a monstera, a philadendrum pink princess and thats it, lol. I also love to shop for unique pots for my plants. I live in lima, peru. Hope Cris is better!

This kind of video just makes me want to go to Japan even more 🥲 Thanks Benji for theses videos, they’re soothing & inspiring 🌟

Regarding Gotokuji temple, the person at the temple told me that people would buy the cat and make a wish. When your wish comes true, then you would return the statue to the temple. 😊

love that every youtuber I follow went to Tokyo this summer really wanna go there:)))

Saw plant shops in Japan video. Love how they display them. Beautiful shops!💚🌱 Sorry to hear you felt unwell Chris. Get better soon. Miss you in the videos of late

i live for benji post days

Augh! Japan is just so beautiful! ❤

A great mix on this trip,the plant shops are so beautiful,all keep healthy, 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

It was cool to watch how you guys explored Japan, to see your reactions and how you spent your time. I lived there two years and returned for a week or so some years later, but I'll be damned if it isn't a magnet cause I really want to visit again.

Tokyo 💗 I also visited Gotokuji Temple when I was in Tokyo earlier this year. Such a nice place.

What a lovely vlog! Coincidentally I’m currently on my own two week trip in Japan and highly recommend staying in Nara for at least a few days- lots of amazing historic sites in town, plus this is where the famous deer are, and it is within spitting distance of Uji, the “matcha capital of Japan”, which makes not only for a tasty day trip, but it also has the oldest tea shop in the world and other amazing things to see! Hope Chris is better now!

🚫🦟🦟🦟 In the future when you know you’re going to be somewhere with a lot of mosquitoes- start taking a double or triple dose “B” complex tab a couple of days before + thru the trip! I’ve rarely gotten bitten since I started doing this, actually I’ve just continued to take a daily “B” complex vitamin daily + never have a problem! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

such a pretty view!!!! waiting for the ceramics haul

Looks like a exciting time. I would love to travel to Japan one day. Try rubbing liquid soap on the bites. It stops the itch and dries them out. I do this when camping.

I just came from japan and It was my first time as well last July, the sun was scorching hot! I wish to go back hopefully during the Sakura season. Happy Birthday Chris I hope he’s ok now, How i wish i ran into you guys there in japan i will definitely take a picture with you, I’m such a fan 🥰

Benj! Making me jelous with these vlogs and calm at the same time ;)

love this channel, thank you for posting!

Wishing Chris was there an feeling better.

Well come to Japan !!

So glad that you came to Japan! Thanks for sharing:)

Aww thank U Benji for sharing your beautiful Japan visit....loved all the plant shops U visited, I was hoping u would of visited some of the architectural bldgs, maybe next time. *FYI, to stop the itching of mosquito or spider bits use Hand Sanitizer. Works for me 🤭 & seems the bugs & spiders come looking for me 😆 Thank U again🎋 Rosie of California

Ahh It was such a sweet moment when JiaHao came running to hug you! Love your vlogs, always💙

thank you for another chill video :) does jiahao have a youtube channel too? love the energy you guys bring.

Poor Chris! I hope he’s feeling better! You visited Japan just as their covid surge started, maybe chris caught covid? Traveling is such a high risk activity, esp if masking isn’t utilized. If it is covid, I hope Chris keeps resting as that is vital! Sending good wishes his way!

The worlds colliding moment when Gravity was on your trip 🙃😂 planning to go to Japan next year, so if I watch these videos a suspicious amount of times, it’s excitement for my trip 😅

Chris Happy birthday🥳🎈🎂🫶♡

Poor Chris got sick so much this trip.

Benji this video was so wholesome, thank you :')

I'm so glad you went to Denny's!! It's so different from the ones we have in the U.S. - sooo good! The hamburger is my favorite. :)

Only true horticulturist would use their shears and scissors to trim their hair and beard.
