Thankyou for showing different neighbourhoods in Tokyo. I’m planning another trip to Japan. Would love to know where locals go . Loving your vlogs .

[michelleblanchard]

i was watching some of your videos last night at work..quiet night at the hotel (I work front desk at a military hotel in the US) lol...and I just have to say you are so funny..you and your family are such a beautiful family unit :)...I love it that you travel together and take care of each other so beautifully. Please keep posting your vlogs they are my favs..I used to live in Japan and i miss it soooo much and through your vlogs i can feel like Im there without leaving the US love it that you are honest and open with us....U show the real you and that is so unique on YT as everyone is trying to get as many subscribers as poss and sometimes detour from their real selves. I love your what I eat in a day and your grocery hauls and your cleaning videos def get me motivated to clean which sadly takes a lot these days....usually I am OCD with cleaning but some days I just put it off...then I turn on your vlogs and I find myself cleaning my apartment while watching your vlogs lol...My fav food is def onigiri and I made some the other day and all those beautiful memories of Japan came flooding back and I ended up making a couple more lol..(I made too much rice so what better way to use it up than making Onigiri)
