5 things that SURPRISED us about Japan! [Tokyo Ginza, teamLab]

Since this was our FIRST time to Japan, we wanted to share 5 things that surprised us about Japan! We recorded this in Tokyo, mainly in the Ginza area, where we visited teamLab Planets (incredible!) and met a very creative artist, Zero Gravity, at the top floor of the Ginza Sony Flagship store. Only in Tokyo would a chance meeting like this happen! Don't miss the bonus thing that surprised us about Japan.

Fuji apples are like candy. Japanese fruits are special.

[daichishokkaidocountrylife]

Fuji apples are originally from Aomori prefecture.
If you love apples, go to Aomori next time, you will find a lot🍎

[zgravity]

It was great to meet you both. Glad you found us and enjoyed our exhibits. Thanks!

[coloursofjapan]

Wow, so great you got to meet the artist! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

Aomori Prefecture is the best known area in Japan to grow apples. As Aomori is connected to Tokyo by JR(Japan Railway) East, like Tohoku Shinkansen, a lot of apples, I think, are brought to Tokyo so that you can find many apple juices in vending machines on JR platforms in Tokyo. Naturally, you cannot find apple juices that much around Mt. Fuji, even though the apple's name is Fuji.

りんごは主に青森、長野、岩手が生産してますからね🍎
酸味と甘味のバランスがとれたサンフジがすきです😊

もう次の旅にでていますかね？
機会があったらまた日本にきてください♪😊

いつも楽しく見ています
確かに日本人は公共の電車やバスでぐっすり眠りますね🤣

I think what makes a country attractive to tourists and residents alike is the 4 “tures” : nature, culture, infrastructure and human nature. And JPN is extremely high in all the 4 aspects.

Yeah, I also love Fuji apples. They are great both in taste and texture : sweet, juicy yet crunchy. I used to find them quite often here in NZ, but not recently. So, I buy something similar : NZ Rose

We would love to go to that teamLab exhibit. Looks amazing!
And 7/11 food is freakin' amazing in Japan.

I noticed that Heather became more and more beautiful during her stay in Japan. Of course, Bill also became cooler.

[stephaniebartsch]

Excellent video! I live in Kansai so I was happy to see what you shared! The food is amazing in Japan, even at the convenience stores! Pretty cheap prices and amazingly fresh! Also, it is very clean here, no garbage on the streets, also, no garbage cans except at train stations, so carry your trash all day with you, then recycle it on the train platform! My relatives who came to visit us said they were surprised that cash was used so much, and their credit card did not work, so not so many options for elec. payments. Yea, this is still true. Thanks for your video!

Seeing both a kamoshika and a kiji on your trip you know Japan likes you.
There’s a lot to see, please come back any time. 🎎🎏

[wrosyld]

日本楽しんで頂けて良かったです☺️
東京都には離れた島が何個かあります。そこも緑が豊富です✨

[flyersaga]

Sony filming Sony! Your convo about new camera gear that you "need" felt very familiar 😂 My husband and I have that discussion all the time

[florencekamoshida]

Fun and interesting vlog🎉🎉, next time when you are in japan, put money in your train card for shopping, many shops accept it

[ToldByAbe]

You can exchange the coin changes in some 7/11, there’s a machine especially converting coins to paper money

Hi folks. I have now been through the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. The story's of the children demise were very touching. And being able to put a face to the child brings it home. So sad. With them being in the museum they should not be forgotten...as you are only truly gone when no-one remembers you. If we could only turn back time. I'm gonna spend the rest of the day wandering the streets, as tomorrow I am heading for Kyoto. 3 full days before heading to Tokyo for the last 3 days or so before heading home. I know I will miss being here. Chances of me returning is very very small. Money situ will never allow this kind of trip again. I was told in a fortune at a shine I will get a proposal. I hope it is from a beautiful Japanese lady... As they have captured my heart. The idea of returning home to my grey miserable life in Scotland feels me with despair. sigh.
