Glad we found your channel! We spend our travel time between Japan and US National parks. We enjoyed this video about Tokyo, and we were just at the Mega Don Quijote 3 months ago! What has been your favorite part of Japan so far?

[ducsue]

3:51 Just a little fyi :) The top step entering the shrine are not to be stepped on as you can observed from the lady and a bow before entering. Only high officials are allowed. Also, enter from the side and not the middle.

Hi. Where is the google maps link of all the places you guys went?

[etherdog]

It doesn't take long for the media to interview western visitors. The Shibuya Mega Donki can be more expensive than other stores because of its location, as described in the channel "What's New in Japan." Glad you are having a great time in Japan! Do you have a sense of where the tourists are coming from (i.e., which countries or regions)?

When did you go? What was the weather like? We are going in 2 weeks from California - trying to figure out how many jacket layers we need. 😂
