Japan Diaries: A Week in Tokyo & Osaka, Vintage Shopping & Matcha Pop Up!

Japan Diaries: A Week in Tokyo & Osaka, 24h trip to Haneda, Vintage Shopping & Matcha Pop Up!

Hi friends!

Apologies for the later post this week—I had to finish some final edits after we returned from our trip! Editing travel vlogs is always my favorite because there's so much fun footage to work with. This week’s video takes you along for a week in Japan. Max and I are spending our final week here, and it’s been incredibly exciting. We’re here for a mix of work and fun because we’re launching our very first Nekohama Matcha Pop-Up in Osaka. We’ve been working really hard on this, and it’s been truly special to bring our matcha back to Japan. The feedback has been absolutely incredible so thankyou so much.

During the meet-up, I had the pleasure of meeting a few of you, and it was so lovely to spend time together. To everyone who gave me thoughtful gifts and letters—thank you so much! ILY forever!

In case you missed the pop-up or are planning to visit Osaka soon, the pop-up will be at MIXUP at W Osaka until September 31st. Be sure to make a reservation, as it can get busy!

It truly felt like we got a taste of living in Japan for a little while, which was so special. I hope you enjoyed this vlog, and I’ll see you next week in L.A.

Much love,

Sanne

In recent Japan, the air pressure decreases all of sudden and this brings you serious headaches or something uncomfortable . But you know what moving your body makes huge difference! I just want you to know bc I want you to come back to Japan again…! Thanks for coming and this video as well. ❤❤❤

Thank you for being so realistic about how schedules change during travel, things don't always go perfectly, sometimes one does not feel like working out, doesn't get along perfectly with your travel companions, all the things that actually happen! 🙂

Can I ask which hotel you stayed at in Hakone? Looks amazing overlooking the ocean!

Nice to meet you, I'm Japanese from Nagoya, currently living in Redondo! Regarding the water, Japan has soft water. Every time I come back to Japan, my skin and hair feel great. In Japan, Nagoya has the softest water, and Chiba has the hardest water.

With all due respect, a Dutch vlogger did not ‘bring matcha back to Japan’. I don’t know what kind of brand push you’re doing for Nekohama, but matcha is widely available, and popular in Japan prior to your business. Saying matcha, and good quality matcha at that, isn’t accessible in Japan and then highlighting Nekohama isn’t a dignified way of promoting your business. Just a thought.

I loved this video! Your week in Tokyo and Osaka looked incredible—especially the blend of gym sessions, healthy meals, and vintage shopping. The matcha pop-up event and your experience in Hakone were such unique highlights. Thanks for sharing your cultural and culinary adventures with us! 🌟🍵🏋️‍♀️

My first time in Tokyo felt really nice…😊

Most of cafes in Japan always have matcha lattes🧐

If the store is focused on coffee, they may not have any other menu items or matcha drinks, but there are many matcha cafes if you look for them😊

In summer, shaved ice with Matcha is recommended.　It is a traditional Japanese refreshing sweet!

There are plenty of matcha sweets and matcha cafes made in-house too😊

It's true that many of them are already sweetened, but there are some menus that are not sweet at all, especially if you go to a matcha cafe🙌🏻🍵

Young people also love matcha, and there are many stores where you have to wait in line for matcha sweets!🌱
