Watching Linh's channel at midnight (different time zone + 1 hour late) while painting my silly little pottery figurines is THERAPY !!! Love you Linh, and thank you so much for all these wonderful videos, you built my ultimate comfort YouTube channel 💗💗💗

[itssquishy]

I’m glad that she has more and more of these 😭😭
I went on my phone to watch Japan vlogs this is perfect

[ladyash]

Enjoying seeing the solo vlogs, it makes me realize that I can also go on solo trips and enjoy myself!

[isabellas]

seeing where all the stuff came from in the haul video is honestly really satisfying lol

[dronkyoda]

it’s 3 am here and i can’t sleep because i’m sick and this was just the best thing!

[b.knotty]

A beautiful series. I love the emphasis on nature and nurturing food plus feel good moments throughout. Thank you for sharing✨

[alois]

i've been living in japan for almost a year and i happened to be in kyoto the same day! actually i ran into you at nanzen-ji temple but didn't want to run after you ahah made me really happy to see it again through this video !!

[lucycollins]

I just pressed on YouTube solely to see if Linh had posted, dream come true! These videos are so calming ✨️

[ailicampbell]

It was so lovely seeing my hometown Kyoto from your point of view. I'm living abroad right now and you made me miss Kyoto so much!!!

[moonkitovlogs]

beautiful vlog!! this channel is such a big inspo <3

[tabboty]

My toxic trait is watching this blog for my family trip to Japan and thinking I can pull off every single Kyoto location in one day

[adreniinaline]

Aw glad you enjoyed Japan, this is really cute 🥰

[Blushing_Panda]

Currently binging through all of your vids, they’re so cozy! <3

[TamNguyen-upkr]

Oh my gosh girlie, this is such a soothing and pretty video. I just came back from a month in Japan and it seems like you went during a colder season because summer is crazy hot. Oh this makes me want to visit again 🥰

[osakameetup]

Meeting locals is the best ways to experience the culture firsthand.
When traveling to Osaka, I recommend joining one of my meetup events. It’s a rare opportunity to meet and talk to locals in English.

[melitadala]

Linh I love how you captured the essence of Kyoto. It's like I'm there myself!

[mirabellentee]

Watching this knowing you were in Kansai one week before I arrived here for my year abroad... I spent the first week in Osaka and then went to Kyoto where I'm studying (because I thought I'd find everything else underwhelming otherwise) and honestly both cities are so huge, you'd never have enough time to explore everything! And seeing the view of my everyday uni commute in your video feels soo unreal, but it also reminds me how pretty it is!
Fushimi Inari Taisha is honestly only recommendable at around 6 AM, it's almost empty then and honestly so calming. There's lots of other lesser known places both in Kyoto and Osaka like the Shouden-ji and Keitaku-en that are really worth a visit, so I hope you can come back one day and explore the area even more! Wishing you all the best <3

[rylie.]

Linh, can you please make a video of how you planned this trip? Where you did your research on where to go/what to see, you seem to go to a bunch of cute and small places! I would really appreciate it!

[cortecamilla]

Your vlogsss are so beautifull and inspiring!!! I was looking for so long for vlogs like this ❤❤❤ never stop
