Hi, Maya! Thanks for your vlog on Kansai, which is a collective term for Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Ninenzaka, the place after you guys visited Kinkakuji Temple, is pronounced 'ni' as in 'knit', ‘nen’ as in ‘ten’ with an ‘n’ instead of a ‘t’ . The pronunciation rules for Japanese vowels are pretty much the same as those of Spanish😊 Thanks again and I hope you’ll enjoy your trip in Korea as well.

I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture actor and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to work in and visit Japan

@mayaleex3 4 ай бұрын

I stayed in Osaka both nights and just went out to Kyoto for the day, but you can definitely go back and forth between the cities in one day so I think it’s easier to stay in one hotel than to move! But in terms of Tokyo vs. Osaka, just depends where you plan to do more things since time is money - but Osaka is also a lot more affordable 😅
