Here are 3 things you can rent in Japan that are actually useful (and no, none of them are people) 😂 You can rent all of these through apps and they all have a pretty simple system. Just an FYI: ⭐️The phone charger app ‘Charge Spot’ comes in English and if you want an extra 1 hour free charging coupon you can use my code ‘ FRD7896550A‘ 😉 ⭐️If you want to rent the strollers and prefer English, Google ‘BabyCal’ and reserve through the website instead 👍 ⭐️the Umbrella app is only in Japanese but it’s fairly simple to use. You can use my code: ‘gRaoS’ to get 100 JPY on PayPay too PS, none of these are sponsored, just genuinely recommend them :) Hope these help! #japan #tokyo #japantrip #japantravel #explorejapan

Guess who just got her Japanese Drivers License 🥳🎉 And while there were A LOT of things I had to learn, here’s something I learned that YOU should also know if you’re also planning to drive in Japan 🗼🇯🇵 How many of these did you know about and please do let me know if your country has a similar system because I don’t think I could drive without my beginner sticker 🔰 #japan #tokyo #japantravel #japantrip #japaneseculture

Have you ever heard of the Japanese term 1000 Bero? It’s basically a popular slang term that’s used to describe getting “happily drunk” for 1000 yen. Usually this means that you can get a few drinks or snacks for only 1000 yen. 🥳 Some places have a set menu for this like the one in the video, while other izakayas just offer affordable food and drinks that let you put together your own 1000 Bero experience🤭 There’s tons of spots in Japan that offer this but the place in the video is Tsukasa Suisan (塚田水産) in Kichijoji Tokyo 🍻🍢 #japan #tokyo #japanese #japantrip #japanesefood

Have you seen this new viral Japanese cat sunscreen 🐾🐱 I literally went to 4 different stores just to find it because they only sell it at certain stores or it was sold out… What do you guys think? 🤭 #japan #japanese #jbeauty #kawaii #biore

It’s officially Cherry Blossom season!!! 😍🌸 But that also means hotel prices can go up like crazy knowing dang well that people will come and stay anyways. In case you’re looking for some last minute hotel deals though, Klook is currently having a sale where you can get 25% off (up to $50 USD) if you book through their platform and use code: ‘HOTEL25’ 🙂 The hotel I stayed at btw is called ‘The Prince Park Tower Tokyo’ (Corner King Room Tokyo Tower View) 🗼🇯🇵 #ad #tokyo #japan #japantravel #japantrip

So apparently there’s only one place where you can customize a cherry blossom YSL lipstick in the world and it’s right here in Omotesando, Tokyo. I went to the shop to go see for myself and ended up buying one of the few colors they had left (it was so popular) 😅 I went midday on a weekend and waited about an hour to consult with the staff & design my lipstick so I recommend going on a weekday as soon as the store opens 😅 What do you guys think? I’m obsessed by the way - it’s been my go-to lipstick since I’ve gotten it :) #japan #tokyo #omotesando #ysl #japanese

I bet you didn’t know about the legend of the famous Japanese Daruma… Legend says it’s got a dark history that nobody likes to talk about… 🫢 #japan #japanese #tokyo #daruma #japaneseculture

If you’ve ever been to Japan, you’ve probably seen these fake foods everywhere- especially at malls or in front of restaurants 🤭🍜 They sure are cute, but have you ever wondered how much they cost? Let me just say, the prices are not nearly as cute 😳 #japan #tokyo #japanese #japaneseculture #fakefood

I went to go visit Japan’s rice ball master herself, Hiroko-san. She’s 83 years old and has been running this shop for over 50 years which is crazy 🤯 📍Omusubi Teshima (near Sengawa Station) #japan #japanese #omusubi #japaneseculture #japanesefood

Japan’s birth rate just hit its lowest record BUT here’s 3 solutions they’ve come up with to help families with baby making 👶🏻✨ What do you guys think? Do you have something like this to help incentivize people to have kids in your country too? Oh! One thing I didn’t mention in the video is that compulsory education ( elementary and junior high) is also free here in Japan :) #japan #tokyo #japaneseculture #wheninjapan #japanese

I drove 3 hours from Tokyo just to eat this Guinness World Record Breaking Bread 🍈🍞🤭 📍Ebina Service Area Westbound (下り) #japan #tokyo #japaneseculture #wheninjapan #japanesefood

How to impress a Japanese person without speaking Japanese? Learn a few cultural manners that can go a long way especially is there’s someone you’re trying to impress 😏 These are just a few… #japan #tokyo #japanese #japaneseculture #wheninjapan

My boyfriend recently cooked one of my favorite Japanese comfort foods called Oyakodon which actually has an interesting meaning behind its name. Oyakodon directly translates to parent-child rice bowl since it’s made using chicken and egg & it’s a classic meal Japanese people make and eat at home 🐓🥚 #japan #japaneseculture #japanesefood #tokyo #oyakodon

Here’s everything I ate for under $10 USD in Tokyo, Japan I visited a popular shotengai (shopping district) in Sugamo that’s filled with lots of street food & here’s everything I was able to get under $10 USD (1600 JPY) 🤭 #japan #tokyo #japantravel #japaneseculture #japanesefood

I did it guys!! I finally bit the bullet and enrolled myself into a Japanese driving school! 🥳🤣 They usually have two different options when it comes to driving schools in Japan. 1. Go through a 2 week intensive course where you sleep at the school and spend 2 whole weeks studying, driving, and taking classes every day. OR 2. Enroll and take classes / driving lessons at your own pace. So you can stay at home and learn over the course of a few months where you can decide how you want to spread your classes out. I chose the latter because I valued flexibility but both seem like great options! What do you guys think? #japan #tokyo #japanese #japaneseculture #japanesecar

These are 3 Unique Streets in Tokyo, Japan 👀 One of the many things I love about Tokyo is they have these really random and niche streets that have a theme. Another one not mentioned here is Yanaka Ginza that’s got quite a few cat themed stores 🐈‍⬛ #tokyo #japan #japanese #japantrip #japantravel

Here’s what you might not have known about beauty standards in Japan 👀 I find it interesting that beauty standards can change based on time and where you’re from. What are some characteristics that are defined as beautiful in your culture? *ps: it’s important to note that eye/tear bags aren’t dark under eye circles* #japan #japanesegirl #beauty #japanese japaneseculture

Did you know that Japan has around 1,500 earthquakes a year, and is also one of the countries most impacted by tsunamis? Even though Japan is considered a very safe country, natural disasters are still a reality here. And although they can’t always be avoided, what you can do is understand the risks and learn what to do in case of an emergency. 📍Honjo Disaster Prevention Center (Sumida city) *you need to make a reservation in advance* #japan #tokyo #wheninjapan #sumida #japanese

This Yakitori shop has been around for over 70 years, and despite the current economy and rising costs, they still do their best to keep prices affordable 🥹 I’ve actually been going here since I was in middle school and back then I’m pretty sure it cost 80 yen / stick 😱 #japan #tokyo #wheninjapan #japanesefood #yakitori
