Japan Travel Diaries
15 videos • 328 views • by The Creative Nomad My partner and I went to Japan for 5.5 weeks! And we've had the most amazing time exploring, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kiso Valley, Okinawa and Hokkaido. This travel vlog series documents our 5.5 week holiday to Japan. Our trip to Japan was our first trip together as a couple post-covid and it was also the first time I'd left my business and my baby cat! (She's 2 now, which means she's a teenager in cat years -- but she'll always be my baby). I thought it would be nice to document aspects of the trip, from processing everything mentally, to packing, planning and vlogging our time there. I tried to capture each week of our trip in a travel vlog, but some of our days were so jam-packed, I felt like I needed to split the episode :) Here's a brief overview of our Japan Trip Itinerary - it can also give you an idea of the content in our videos + upcoming vlogs too. 1. Tokyo (Harajuku, Asakusa, Disney Sea, Shinjuku, Shibuya) 2. Tobu-Nikko (Lake Togichi, Kegon Falls, Tobu World Square) 3. Tokyo (Shinokubo, Shinjuku) 4. Hakone (Lake Ashi) 5. Kyoto (Iniri Shrine, Universal Studios, Markets) 6. Osaka (Day trip to Nara, Aquarium, J League Football Match) 7. Kiso Valley (The Nakasendo Trail) 8. Hokkaido (Sapporo, Mount Asahi-dake, Utaro) 9. Okinawa (Cave Okinawa, Ta-Taki Waterfalls, Botanical Gardens) 10. Tokyo (Team Labs Planet Tokyo, Akihabara, Shinjuku) Week 1: When we landed in the vibrant city of Tokyo, I felt like we were in a videogame and an anime. I couldn’t shake that feeling. Maybe it was the music playing at the train stations, or the green trains — it felt unreal to arrive and abide in a city where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with futuristic innovation. We spent our first 4 nights of our Japan trip in Tokyo and fell in love with the neon signs, diners, bars, street food, and the culture in Shinjuku, Harajuku, Asakusa, and Shibuya. Week 2: We then headed to Tobu Nikko, a hidden gem nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Japan. We want you guys to come with us on our little adventure as we explore the best that Tobu Nikko has to offer. From the tranquil shores of Lake Chuzenji to the awe-inspiring waterfalls and the mind-boggling Tobu World Square, we'll take you on a journey that will leave you in awe. Week 3: We loved exploring the captivating landscapes of Hakone, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Japan. From savoring mouthwatering street foods like black curry buns and egg-flavored ice cream to immersing ourselves in the tranquility of forest walks. We also explored the mesmerizing volcanic wonders in Hakone and set sail on a pirate ship cruise on Lake Ashi. Week 4: Kyoto... More details to be announced soon! Thanks for coming along guys!
