Japan fully re-opened to tourists on October 11, 2022 and on October 14, 2022, we hopped on a plan to begin our visit to this bucket-list destination. In this video, we document our journey there, what to expect when traveling to Japan, and some of our first impressions after landing in Osaka.
This video is the first in our Japan series, though we’ll be finishing up our Korea series in the coming weeks before fully jumping into our travels in Japan! Be sure to subscribe to stay tuned, and follow us on Instagram for real-time, daily updates: @awaywithhays

18:42 You should not do that. There was an American guy who was sued for that. If somebody sees this video and reports to this shop, they are going to have to close the shop to sanitize the conveyer belt. The guy was charged for that. I advise you to take this video off and take that part out to reload it. This is not a joke.

Japan! So exciting! Yes there are a lot of bikes….I lived in Tokyo for a year and was so excited to ride a bike around, so I got one and then accidentally kept crashing into poles. My point is that the locals make it look much easier than it is. Looking forward to reliving memories! I love the bathtubs too and the wooden cups of sake bartenders always overfill and basically every single food item, except takoyaki.

Osaka feels so refreshingly different. Hope you guys are having a ton of fun in a new country. Will you be interlacing Japan videos with Korea ones, or finish out the Korea series first and then return to Japan? (really no pressure in getting out Korea vlogs btw, we loyal fans can wait!) I'm sorry to hear that you're losing a few subscribers, but I'm sure you will gain new ones as well. I'm always supporting you guys and can't wait to see more and virtually travel with you guys.

Also, I shared the same experience with trains in Japan when I went a couple times while I stayed in Korea. Tbh, I think it's a nightmare setup and not as tourist-friendly. I found the train system in Korea refreshing to go back to which I find to be more streamlined and logical, and there are big signs in English and other languages.😅Still, Japan imo is a must to have in a travel bucket list!

Hey there! Thanks for watching! I hope you have an amazing trip next year. And yeah-- I knew Japan was known for trains but didn't think about how complicated they'd be (or just how good we had it in Korea!) Korea was certainly more intuitive. Still wild to me that for both you need cash! We've needed cash for much more here in general. Excited to be here and explore more! More Japan videos coming in a couple of weeks, but first we're going to finish up our Korea series. Did you find us through this video or have you been watching awhile?

At Kura sushi, you don't get a prize every time you put in 5 plates, it's similar to a lottery, you might win a prize, but you might not get one too. If Hays likes Legos, there's a Legoland in Nagoya not too far from Osaka. Enjoy Japan!

If the time is enough, I wish to see Tokyo to Okinawa and other small towns of Japan. Also, their dessert culture is amazing. How about some sweet themed mukbang contents? 😋 Cause that was what I wanted to try when I visit Japan. Ahh If I finish my shop interior and as soon as my business starts to work smoothly, I will run to Tokyo from Seoul!!!!! Gotta spend all my KWD for 스위츠 of Japan. I dunno how to write Japanese but they use sweets to call pastries and desserts so on. Envy you guys. I wish to have a partner who can travel whole world with me and adorable baby 💓

I love how like the literally second japan opens you're like YEET Also love how you gravitate STRAIGHT to the sushi on the first day haha xD You'll have to let me know if its really better than Korea! and I wonder how the price compares too!! There is a sterotype that Japan is more expensive than Korea but I'd be interested to know what you think after you've had the time to find out

Hey... pete here :) sorry for the late reply!! we had been waiting so long for Japan to open, so we were straight on it. We found prices pretty similar to be honest, transportation is higher in Japan, but we found some really affordable food/restaurants. We had a blast and really hope you get to go and visit at some point.

I am so looking forward to watching upcoming Japan trip videos! Ironically, even though I am from a neighbouring country, I have never been to Japa! I think I always thought I could travel to Japan easily and chose some other countries where they were much further away. I will learn a lot from your videos and get ready to visit myself someday soon!
