Hey guys!
So today we have some super awesome amazing news!!
So there's this travel website here in Japan called Odigo
and this year they are sending us
Kim Dao
and Chris Okano
to EVERY SINGLE PREFECTURE IN JAPAN
∑(;°Д°)ᵒᵐᵍᵎᵎᵎ
We've split all the prefectures up between us
and we can go absolutely ANYWHERE WE WANT to make videos.
so if there's a place you guys wanna see us make a video about this year
tell us down in the comments because one of us can go there!
But that's not the only exciting news!
CAT
cat...
Let me tell you about this secret plan that I had in my brain for the past few years.
I was imagining this huge interactive map of Japan
where people could plot out their favorite locations
and then other people could look at it and use that to get ideas for places to travel in Japan.
I'm a very visual person
and when I'm planning trips I have to see them plotted out on a map
otherwise my brain just can't accept things.
I didn't really have any plans for how I was going to do that, though.
And it turns out it doesn't even matter because Odigo already made it!
And it's so much better than anything I would have been able to come up with.
So the coolest thing is you can actually make your trips through this website.
You can click on the locations that you want to go to and add it to your trips
and then if you click optimize route at the bottom
it will plan out the quickest route for you between all the places that you want to go.
And people can save their trips publicly for everyone to see!
So if you don't want to create your own trip,
you can just browse through the trips that other people have taken.
So for example, there are trips like "Best cherry blossom spots in Tokyo"
or "Best stationary spots" or "Finest sushi restaurants".
Or right here is our Fox Village and Cat Island trip that we took last year!
If you want to go to all the places that we went in Tohoku,
you can just click on our trip (which I will link to in the description box down below).
And it's already planned out for you.
They're in the process of updating the website so they'll have even more helpful stuff coming soon.
So like right now I can't actually plot out times for you to depart each location or anything.
But once they update we'll be able to do that
so you can literally just plan out your entire itinerary through this website.
If you like our trip you can either copy the whole thing to your profile yourself,
or just copy certain locations
like if you just want to go to Fox Village but don't care about this park.
There are so many different ways you can search for places to go through this website.
Like exploring by prefecture,
or exploring the map,
or exploring by type of location,
or by trips.
And it's all completely free!
They're still adding things to the website so feel free to leave your reviews on different places
or if there's a spot that's not on the map yet that you want them to add,
then send it to them through feedback and they'll try to get it up there.
But anyway, I am just SO EXCITED
because this is like the website that I had been secretly envisioning for so long
and it's actually a thing!
And I think it's going to be so incredibly helpful for people who are planning their trips to Japan.
We get questions from people all the time who want us to help them plan out their trips to Japan
and it's a really difficult thing to do.
So having people share their trips with each other
I just really think this is going to be super useful for you guys.
So check it out if you want to down in the description box below!
And I am SO EXCITED that they are sending us all over Japan!!
Like I can't even believe this is still happening?
I don't even know how we got here in our lives??
But it's all thanks to you guys that we're even in this position.
So we are SO grateful for you always supporting us
because now we have an opportunity like this.
We're just really grateful to you guys.
So thank you so much for supporting us!
And please let us know if there's somewhere you guys want us to go down in the comments
because we want to show you guys what you want to see!
Our first trip is to Hokkaido and northern Tohoku
and that's already planned out but everywhere else is still open.
So yeah, let us know!!
And thank you guys for watching! I'll see you later! BYEEEE
