I’M FINALLY BACK IN JAPANNNN!!! Also, because I know I’ll get questions… 1. No, Japan is not open to tourists currently and most new visa holders can’t get in right now either. I’m a resident and have been since pre-illness time 2. I know my voice sounds awful it’s because I got no sleep the night before my flight ok I’m not sick here 😭 3. There was a lot of paperwork stress beforehand regarding the test requirements, which I didn’t go into in this video because it was very hectic and I don’t want to relive it lmao. But you are required to get a very strict form filled out and take a specific (expensive, hard to find) test within 72 hours 😅 4. I didn’t take much footage at the airport in Japan because you weren’t allowed to in most places (I’m not trying to immediately get deported lmao) and I was pushing around a heavy bag srry 5. I DONT KNOW WHEN JAPAN WILL REOPEN IM SORRYYYY HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR!!!!

Back in Japan. Let 2022 begin. Wishing you a healthy happy new year for 2022.👍🥰

so glad you made it back safely!! your quarantine hotel is really nice ~ excited for new videos!

You remind me how sad I find airports and airport goodbyes.

Im moving back to tokyo soon after being stranded abroad 😩 thankfully since my dad is a resident i can enter the borders 😪 this video was informitive for me!! :D

Glad ur back!! Quarantine content Queen!!! 👸🎉

So interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience of hotel quarantine. Glad you got back home ok.😊💐

Welcome back! This where interesting couse my father passed away in Norway and I have to head back there to say goodbye.

yay new video! welcome back!!!

So interesting 😯 Btw I’m obsessed with your glasses, so cute 🤩 Glad you are back safe!

Can't imagine how it feels to have people constantly asking you when will Japan finally open its borders 😆 Good to know there actually are vegan options! Not like I imagine myself eating them any time soon but let's hope we'll get there in this lifetime

Thank you for documenting your experience! 😊

Yeah you made it back!!! I’m so happy for you cause I can only imagine who stressful this whole ordeal must have been. Thanks for sharing your quarantine experience with us. I just ended my quarantine yesterday and although I was in my own apartment, spending 17 days 24 hours at home and not being aloud to go at least for a walk alone, was a nightmare for me. Now I know how all those animals in the zoo must feel because I also walked back and forth in my apartment. How did you feel not being able to get outside getting some fresh air? I hope this whole nightmare ends for all of us soon!

Oof, quarantine. Glad your hotel was nice! It's really good that you can get deliveries, I haven't seen that in other quarantine videos. It seems like you sped up the text screens in this video? I'm dyslexic and my reading speed is very slow, but this was the first video of yours where I had to pause the text screens or rewind in order to read them. I loved not having to do that before, but I appreciate that your editing style will be ever-changing.

Yay to a new video!

Welcome back!

So glad you are back in Japan! Hope you are keeping safe and well :-) love from Canada! ~

Just thought I would say that I really enjoy your content and I look forward to your videos each week :) I hope that your isolation/quarantine isn't too boring! Glad you were able to make it back into Japan :)

I hope quarantine goes as best as possible, it seems very dull. When I saw that they delivered you the meal I thought about food allergies. I have tons of food allergies since I was very little, new ones keep coming, and I know for me that situation would be very distresful 😬. So you had to fill some kind of questionnaire, right? Anyway, as in your case, food allergies are always a mess to deal with, and people easily get it wrong. Thank god you can order online, that would save me tbh. I send you energy and good vibes :)

Wow! That's gotta be a lot of money for the govt to cover. I'm hoping the situation improves by the time I fly in 🥺

I'm so glad quarantine time is reduced now.

Great you made it back! Keep up the vids

Fascinating!

I saw another KZfaqr, Tokyo Lens who had to stay in a hotel for quarantine. It was not a nice hotel at all according to him. However a family member who is Japanese and was born and grew up there went back and had to quarantine said her hotel was at least a 4 star hotel and it was really nice. We joked that she got a nice hotel because she is a citizen and the government was treating her better.

Happy to hear that you made it safely back to Tokyo, but the quarantine meals... Ouch! I don't know if I can survive that😅Otsukaresama~

Happy you made it back safe!!

i got into japanese grad school yesterday!! im stressed about accepting tho bc idk what the state of travel into the country for international students will look like in fall. if we cant go during fall, i just know im going to suffer academically and mentally 💀

I'm in the same hotel right now with my family. It's pretty nice given the circumstances. But we have way too much tea left over.

Girrrrl wtf your hotel room was so much better than mine

Aside from the pandemic I feel like this would be my favourite time to travel if I could lol Not very busy.

Thank you for sharing this video. You're very lovely to watch. Though I need to ask What bag did you use for this trip? Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.

I hope you managed to keep your sanity post quarantine!

Im about to edit and get my video out there with the quarantine experience 😅🥰

But there is wifi in your hotel room so you can connect using your phone, correct ?

What camera did you use to film this? I noticed that it looked a lot better than most vlog-style KZfaq videos I’ve seen.

Hi did you stay 6 days at hotel because you already have an apartment there ?

Hey allison… I’m going to Japan for studying next month (yes I got my Certificate of eligibility already). How much do we have to pay for the on arrival test and all the requirements? Thank you

I still waiting almost 2 years now start my career 😕 but japan government haven’t any plan yet:( I don’t know how long I should to Waite .you’re so lucky

This might be a stupid question but did you have to pay for the quarantine hotel?

Is this not a good time to visit Tokyo.. I have never been .. my nephew wants to go so bad he is 10 .. I thought of a trip for his summer break …

I’m supposed to go to Japan 2022-2023 as an exchange student. Is Japan refusing to give long term visas 2022?

nice

Do you have to pay for hotel quarantine? If so, how much for 6 days?

hi do they require you to have covid insurance?

I was just wondering, did you use a US credit card or do you have a Japanese credit card ? Thanks.

Ok so what happened after the hotel ? Did you have to hire a taxi to get to your apartment ?

Thank you for the video? Does anyone here know how much quarantine hotel costs for two weeks if someone isn't vaccinated? This would be much appreciated 🙂!

Quarantine it's free?

にっぽん！！！

👏👏👍💛

So the moral of the story is......Don't travel outside of Japan unless you are ok with the entry procedures to get back into Japan. I will wait.

I'm really not looking forward cause I have a kid lol
