As if I didn't already love Japan enough, seeing this made me feel like I need to get back ASAP even more. I did not know about that viewpoint you guys went to nor the river so I need to visit them next time I visit 😅

Congrats! Great video.
When we traveled to Taiwan, having a 7-11 on the corner next to our hotel was a life saver for all sorts of things. I felt like we were in there twice a day for something to drink or a snack to bring back to the hotel.
It’s Christmas in January👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’ve been waiting for this series 👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have been so excited for this series and its finally here!!! Thanks for taking us along!
I used to use physical IC cards on my previous trip, but my last one in 2023, I switched over to using the Suica card on my iPhone. I had issues reloading it with some of my credit cards however, but my apple credit card worked thankfully. I also switched it to express mode so that when i use it to pay, I don't have to unlock my phone or anything, just swipe it over the reader. And it's super easy to reload.
