I'm Portuguese and I got so proud to see our Portuguese "Pastel de Nata" (egg tart) in your video and happy that you liked it 🤩

[fefefa]

I'm an expat who has lived in Japan for the last 6 years and I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing people enjoy Japan! Can't get enough of seeing the beauty of Japan through other peoples eyes! 🥰

[yuzuriueki]

Thank you for visiting Japan!! It is such an honor to have someone inspiring to me visit my homeland❤ I’m so thankful that you got to enjoy Japan to your fullest😊

[yhi]

Japanese here!! I am so happy that you had a great time and a great food while you were in Japan! It is unfortunate that you had to deal with the heat since this year has been one of the hottest summer in the past years😅 But watching you enjoying the food with your lovely mum made me smile from the beginning to the end of the video and it also made me proud of my culture somehow! I really hope Japan treated you well and you will come back again soon 😊 Love your videos always and thank you for being here for us!! With a lot of Love from Tokyo x

[anyaviiv]

You bumping your head while enjoying the food with your mom is the cutest thing ever! Can't wait to take my mom on a girls trip to Japan in 2 weeks <3

[SW-qikh]

It's so sweet to travel with mom. This reminds me my mom and I went to Japan like 9 years ago. I really miss it. Enjoy!!

[rosepink]

i'm finally overcoming my ED after so many years of restricting, and I'm about to go on a long vacation and your video has brought me so much comfort, peace, and sound advice for the mental battle that's slowly creeping up on me regarding eating during the vacay. Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say and helping me overcome my fears ❤

[katypie]

How awesome that you got to have that time with your mum. Yes the ramen memories will be there… but how much more special are those ramen memories with your mum by your side! Those are the times that you’ll hold close to your heart ❤️

[juliettecroce]

I literally love how many times in this video you both took a bite and then just GRINNED at each other with contentment at the same time

[marilynortega]

Your relationship with your mom is so admirable 😢

[joana]

23:17 as a portuguese subscriber it's my duty to say that those are "pasteis de nata", our especially. Portugal is a country full of wonderful food ahah! ❤ 🇵🇹
Love your videos, you help people like me, someone stil struggling from an ED, to fight harder. Lots of love! ❤

[nnaaa]

Why am I tearing up after watching a travel video. I am moved by your motivational words. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[jellybaebi]

Visited Japan at the start of this year and watching your vlog makes me miss it even more now. I genuinely think I left my heart behind in Japan 🥲
