hey guys welcome back to the Tokyo
creative Channel I'm Charlotte not Emma
I'll be your host today I'm actually
going to be telling you guys my five
favorite moments from the trip so far
from the journey across Japan trip I've
been very lucky to have been invited to
join Chris on his trip I've been here
for almost a month now that's crazy it's
been an action-packed month we've been
all over the Japan Sea coast we've seen
lots of places we're not done yet we
still have about two weeks to go but I'm
going to tell you guys my top five
memories from the trip so far all right
I'm gonna do this in order I'm going to
tell you my fifth favorite memory
working all the way up to my ultimate
favorite memory so far so probably
number five would be the monkey park I
was really impressed with the monkey
park I thought it was gonna be really
touristy I thought the monkeys might be
in cages or something like that but they
were they were just free to roam around
I really loved how they just walked by
you they weren't scared of humans at all
they were just really chill and they
were walking around the park like I
don't know it felt very natural and not
like a big setup thing like is there
anything the baby monkeys were so cute
as well I got a really cute shot of the
baby
and you were able to feed them that was
nice as well
I really recommend the monkey part it
sounds like it would be a really tricky
thing but it was nice number four is
also a memory from Kyoto
this was actually at fushimi inari which
I've been to twice now it's probably the
number one spot that everybody goes to
in Kyoto which means there are lots of
tourists there all the time but even so
I would still recommend that you go
there because it's beautiful it's quite
the experience so the first time I went
I hiked all the way up through the gates
all the way to the top of the mountain
in the daytime but this time on this
trip I went at night it won't pitch
black and the whole shrine area is just
dimly lit it's not completely dark but
it's dimly lit it's really creepy it's
got a really creepy vibe to it just
picture a Shinto shrine in the dark with
some glowing lanterns
you're on a mountain very like horror
movie-esque which i love i love horror
films basically all i watch and it was
really cool to be in that situation
however i was with two friends i think
if I went alone I might not be able to
handle it I might have been a little too
freaked out but because I was a friend
it was just perfect
unfortunately the mountain was closed
off and we couldn't go all the way up
which I really wanted to do but I did
get a really good feel for what the show
is like at night time and I can
definitely recommend it to you guys I
really enjoyed it all right number three
is actually something that happened just
yesterday we had stopped filming for the
day we ended up on a beach here in
Matsuyama and the sunset was it was
breathtaking it was so good but it's not
the best sunset I've ever seen I'll be
talking about that one later on but it
was so good it was so nice we were just
chilling on the beach got some ice cream
from a local famous ice cream shop and
we're just relaxing on the beach into
sunset listening to music I think that
would be yeah that was that's easily my
favorite favorite memory
number two you are getting up to my
favorite one so this is really high up
there on the list
I spent the night in Osaka drinking in
the streets and my favorite part of the
night was when we decided to approach
some strangers and ask them to teach us
all talk up and I'm really nervous about
going up to strangers and talking to
them and asking them if they want to get
in my videos and stuff so I don't do it
too often but I'm really glad we did in
Osaka because a group of people that we
ended up talking to
they were university students they were
super chill they were really excited to
get to know us and teach us to vault up
a bed we just kind of stopped there for
a while drinking with them outside they
taught us about Osaka and they gave us
some recommendations for places to go it
was a really cool experience it kind of
gave me the courage to do it more that
rest of the night we we drank quite a
bit but not too much we didn't get sick
it was a nice level of alcohol maybe we
went to karaoke
we had some really delicious food and
the views and all clapping you guys at
nighttime if you're a photographer even
if you're not a photographer you may be
stuck taking photos as long as you have
like an iPhone you could take some
really really nice night photos of the
streets in Osaka Chris got a really cool
and I'll insert it here
he's been promoting it any chance he
gets oh I'm sure he'll be really excited
that I'm showing it to you guys now go
find it on Instagram and like it well
he'll be very happy it'll brag about it
for months but Chris took this really
cool photo in an alleyway you can get
lots of nice shots like this really
easily all right my number one memory
from the trip and I know for sure that
nothing that will happen after today
we'll talk this this is probably one of
the best memories of my entire life mean
Chris cycled the Shema Nami Kaito and
when we got to the end the last bridge
the major bridge that's like four
kilometers long gorgeous bridge we got
there right as the Sun was setting
insert footage of the best sets that you
will ever see in your entire life and I
like on top of those views which were
ridiculous we both just felt really
wish that we had made it to the end of
she Minami Kaito we had actually done
the cycle it was hard our legs hurt a
lot they still hurt today but I felt
yeah I felt really proud of myself that
I made it and
that was like our reward for trying so
hard now when people ask me one thing
that they should do when they come to
Japan I can say with confidence you
should cycle the she Minami Taito
if you can't cycle for whatever reason
you don't want to cycle go there in a
car walk it just go there and enjoy the
view it was so good you guys
I'm sure this footage doesn't do it
justice it's really something that you
need to see in person so this is me
telling you go there you will not regret
it save up money and make the extra trip
down to the area don't just stay in
Tokyo if you come to Japan make the
extra trip down to the Shema Nani Kaito
and do it you will fake me and then come
over to my channel and let me know how
it was because I know he will
alright guys those are my top five
moments from the journey across Japan
trip so far we've still got two weeks
left so there will probably be some more
wonderful moments after this but I hope
you guys enjoyed this recap so far and
thanks for watching
