here Begins the long journey to
[Music]
Japan we also learned a lot of lessons
during our first big trip to Japan we
made some huge
[Music]
mistakes 3 a.m. local time here in Tokyo
I see we do this yeah have smaller
so cool that you can get stuff like this
in Japan at any hours of the day
711 at 3
a I just don't remember which ones I
used to like something a little strange
look at the height of the
mirror you know good morning good
morning world morning everyone we are so
excited to be going back to Japan this
is a trip we have been so excited about
for so long that's all I can say this
morning so yeah feeling sleepy very
early waiting for a taxi and we'll bring
you along on the journey indeed
[Music]
go so I don't know still there
[Music]
or
Bye b this is sticky see you and Tok you
bye there we go there we go thanks for
your help thank you appreciate
it breakfast at the airport some Tim
Hortons before we leave cidal for 6
weeks classic Canadian breakfast
normally at any Canadian Airport Tims is
absolutely packed but at the food court
one in Calgary before you check in I've
never seen it busy here it's amazing
normally you have to stand in line for
well the worst one I would say is the
one in monreal it's like a never ending
line but so nice to be efficiently
served and we having a nice uh breakfast
to start today I'm hungry attention do
not
cross wait for it to turn green green
Green Oh there's some beautiful
MIRS and before we catch our flight to
Vancouver I just want to say one thing
and that is I am so happy to have the
Calgary International Airport now as our
base as opposed to Pearson that airport
drove drove me nuts it just kept getting
worse and worse and more crowded and
less efficient it it was H honestly got
to the point where is my least favorite
airport in the world so now that we
flying out of Calgary and often flying
out of Vancouver this is just amazing I
love this airport here it's spacious
it's modern it's clean the staff are
friendly there's plenty of spaces to sit
it's the opposite of Pearson and I just
love it here all righty guys I found
this cozy little Cocoon of a chair here
in a corner of the airport this is great
for like napping and having some privacy
but yeah this is a really exciting trip
because it's the first really big trip
like monthlong trip that we've done in 4
years yeah 5 years almost since 2019
since 2019 all right so like 4 years
since we went on an epic trip so yeah it
feels like we're getting back into the
groove back to our roots and also it's
very exciting to be going back to Japan
because it's just one of our favorite
countries I can't wait to explore and I
think we also learned a lot of lessons
during our first big trip to Japan we
made some huge mistakes number one going
in the middle of summer who goes to
Japan in the summertime don't do it
unless you're heading you know really
far north up to Hokkaido it was just way
too hot this time around we're visiting
in Autumn so that's going to make it a
lot more pleasant and and we also
learned that we enjoy quiet rural
destinations with nature so that's kind
of going to be the theme with our trip
to Japan this time around uh you know we
already did Kyoto Tokyo Osaka and we
realize that's not the type of travel we
enjoy at this point in our lives so
we've chosen a lot of smaller secondary
and tertiary cities which I think will
make it really fun so super excited to
be heading out there it's a long trip
we're going via Vancouver and then
Landing in Tokyo but don't worry we're
not sticking around Tokyo for very long
we're just sleeping having a shower and
leaving on the first train out of there
so that's the
[Music]
plan
[Music]
he
[Music]
w
[Music]
TR
well good morning good morning guys it
is good morning 300 a.m. local time here
in Tokyo we've been up for a few hours
sorry that we just kind of dropped the
Vlog our plan was to lie down for 30
minutes I set an alarm the alarm went
off I did not hear it you that go time
in my life you know how that goes we
ended up just having a a real proper
sleep originally we were going to plan
to Goot when it was still a little bit
light and show you what you know what's
around in our neighborhood yeah but now
we're going to show you what it's like
at 3: in the morning 3: in the morning
so change of plans yeah you know I have
seen a few tourists out that are clearly
jet legged and because not much is open
at this time we're walking over to the
train station to weno station and
apparently there's a 24-hour like
breakfast Spa guys another first
impression having arrived you know here
in September we thought it was going to
be a lot cooler Tokyo is still warm like
we walked out of the hotel 3:00 a.m.
mind you it is so hot and humid and
check my outfit look at what I'm wearing
I got shorts and t-shirts on see shorts
flipflop sandals so I'm telling you just
a day ago I was out in the Canadian
Rockies around the bamp area and we were
bundling up it was practically turning
to Winter that shows you the extremes
between Northern Canadian Summers and
summer in Japan the
yep and wow there goes that
traffic over there it looks like there's
an isaka that's closing up ooh isaka
yeah there's one that's open until 3:00
in the morning I saw that one online we
just missed it huh just missed it just
missed it wow guys rat's in Tokyo
they're not only in New York City look
at that one the bag is moving there's
one behind over there there as long as
it doesn't crawl up my foot I'm
okay hello rat

you're hinting at no
24hour breakfast this one was 24 hour

I think we both got something like I got
the katsu daon set I think you got the
regular katsu gon we'll see we'll see
it's a surprise it's a mystery the food
is here it was one of those little
machines with like pictures and you look
at the picture and you just press what
you want stick in the money and hand
over your ticket so we didn't really
know what we were getting cuz the
pictures are like this yeah so Sam was
really surprised that his comes with uon
I knew mine was coming with a set but I
thought it was a smaller bit of noodles
that's a huge meal yeah and you have the
same but without the noodles yeah we're
both having the ksuan which is the
breaded pork cutlet on top of rice it
also has egg and then we have miso soup
TR
it tasty it's lunchtime in Canada so I'm
okay having this we're
hungry how's the
Miso good salty oh go ahead and try go
ahead and try my noodles too try your
udon yeah it has seaweed too yeah look
at that oh piping hot so cool that you
can get stuff like this in Japan at any
hours of the
day is it good mhm we can share that yum
let me try
this nice big piece po cutlet what's it
rice m M that's really
good
711 at 3
a.m.
[Music]
71 some of the green teas are also good
they are I just don't remember which
ones I used to like maybe like one of
those yeah those were good ones where
Patti oh here there's Patti and
Aquarius two sure okay oh they also look
strong sparkling water strong sparkling
there was also a coffee thing like a
coffee latte that was really good but
then again I don't know if I need the
shakes at fre in the morning I'm going
to get one so is interested in this
spaghetti I am
not I'd have to be really hungry for
that oh look there's more let's go look
at those oh these were the really good
ones yeah these this and this one too
the Mount
Rainer yeah oh it's like a coffee
milkshake V they have wine from Chile
Chile okay and it's a 7-Eleven brand but
this is the first time I've seen
Japanese red one oh we've got to try
this at some point great not today not
today storing that in the back of my my
head I'm going to try Japanese red wine
for the first time there's our hotel
just over there summer weather
outfit this is the
look to the hotel room quietly cuz
everyone else is
sleeping
do you think we can get a toil Canada oh
can you guys hear Sam do you think we
can get a b day toilet in Canada he says
after one day in Japan oh seriously
seriously sure all right so we're
getting ready to check out and we're
going to give you a whisper quiet tour
because it's like 5:30 30 a.m. and we
don't want to wake up the neighboring
guests and we probably already have to
be honest trth be told okay the first
most interesting thing is move back a
little
bit I can touch the walls okay yeah this
REM the only other place I've been able
to do that is probably in Hong Kong and
if you want a budget hotel you really
need to you know accept the small spaces
but it's cool take a look here this is
our stuff so this is the hall where you
take your shoes off and then down here
they left us slippers okay let's go to
the bathroom the most interesting thing
okay
okay so this is the bathroom something a
little strange look at the height of the
mirror you know guys you have your
shower as well you that you can
adjust where you want the shower head
you could also take a bath you can take
a bath this regulates if the water comes
out of the tap or the shower head and of
course we have a toilet with a lovely B
the other interesting thing about the
bathroom is like you've got all the
things that you would need tiny little
toothbrush tiny little toothpaste lots
of soap now let's do a little all we
have to do is turn
around so here's our bed enough for the
two of us to it's a very small double
bed it's basically yeah it's like don't
roll around too much or you me for
snuggling or you're going to knock your
partner off them okay we have a flat
screen TV which we did not use we didn't
use which is quite big air conditioner
which we did use it's very hot and humid
small desk over here mhm small little uh
fridge and you want a starfish starfish
on the
bed okay so you get the idea is
basically this has everything you need
in here very space efficient and
perfectly acceptable for our our
situation we were only coming here to
sleep yeah and now we're going so now
we're going now we're leaving by so
there's our stuff time to head on out
all righty friends I think this is where
we're going to leave you this has been a
long enough travel Vlog all the way from
Canada it Japan we are back here in
Japan we couldn't be more excited and
guys just to give you a teaser our next
video is going to be about taking the
bullet train the shin
all the way up North to Hokkaido yes
hope you'll stay tuned for that and see
you soon see you soon Tata
