There are tons of great foods to be tried, millions of places to be preserved, and countless stories to be told in Japan.
We hope we’d be able to show you more of these things and places to learn about here with the power of the internet.
Now the Tokyo municipal government and the neighboring prefectures are requesting another lockdown here.
It’s a sad news to us, definitely. But we don’t want to cry about it and be sad.
If the lock down happens, we’d like to try to make more stories on places we’d like to introduce you and to stimulate your eagerness to visit Japan when everything gets better!
So please help us by leaving a like, a comment, and share us to your friends

Happy new year🎍⛩🎍あけましておめでとうございます。
Technically, we consider this time of the year as “pre” or “early” spring and some of the plum flowers are opening.
It’s pretty cold for here, 3C (37.4F). But these flowers are telling us spring is coming soon enough and I love the feeling.
We hope that the world’s situation will soften up as the weather gets better. And many of you who are wishing to visit Japan can make it for some good food and zen experiences for inner peace.
Japan will welcome you with open arms when we overcome this difficult time together!

What do you like about Shibuya? We’ve visited the area for the first time in about a year and saw a lot of changes...! We were a bit surprised by the amount of the people there but I guess, after all, it’s supposed to be one of the best destinations in Tokyo and it’s 4 days weekend....! - Akina

This is how a night comes to Tokyo 🌃it was 2years since we got engaged and we stayed at Hotel New Otani for a celebration. This great view of Tokyo made the night very special🥂💕

Are you a Shibuya person or a Shinjuku person? I think I’m a Shinjuku person!

Who's planning to travel around Tokyo when this quarantine thing is done? I miss going out in the night in Tokyo!

Seen this before? Shibuya Center-Gai was always crowded, even late at night. I wonder what it's like right now during this quarantine period...?

“Do you know what is interesting about Kyoto, Dustin?” and he says “What?” “Everything looks somewhat cooler here, even a normal Izakaya (Japanese bar). You know, these kind of things are everywhere in Tokyo too but somehow, it looks better than in Tokyo to me, is it just me? It could be Kyoto, it could be the fact that I’m on holiday. Either way, I love nights in Kyoto.”
“Me too!” says Dustin.

The truth is, there is so much to discover by exploring around Kyoto at night. Want to know where to go?

Our recommended areas to have night walks in Kyoto:

1) Fushimi Inari - open all night
2) Pontocho - if you’re lucky, you’d see a Maiko
3) Kamogawa river - the best place to chillax with a beer
4) Ninen-Zaka & Sannen-Zaka - You’d be surprised how quiet the area can be in the night

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.8]
“Hey Dustino, I’m feeling tired now but I also kinda want to stay out... Wanna hang around by the river a little bit? It’s the best perk to having your hotel in the middle of Kyoto.” Dustin says “Sounds like a plan!”
This time we stayed in a hotel called Resol Kyoto Kwaramachi Sanjo. We loved the room and the convenient location to go to our favourite places. “Okay, let’s hit Family Mart to get a can of beer or something to walk around the river. If we are lucky, maybe we can find a Maiko somewhere!”
- Akina

Our recommended areas to
stay in Kyoto:

1) Near Kyoto station - easy to get buses or trains to go all of the tourist attractions
(More wallet-friendly)

2) Near Shijo dori - it’s THE main road in Kyoto and has the best access to everywhere
(Most central location)

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.7] Pontocho is one of our must-go’s in Kyoto. Especially for a restaurant called “Yoshina”. I found the restaurant about 7 years ago and I literally never miss having dinner there whenever I’m in Kyoto.
“Hey Dustin, I know we went only 2 nights before, but wanna go to Yoshina again? I need to make up for the restaurant that SUCKED last night. The restaurant from yesterday was really disappointing, was’t it... :/ ?”

Dustin goes “Yeah, I kinda thought most of the places in this area would be good but I guess not! We were fooled by the nice food pictures on the sign.”

So here is our advice to keep yourself away from bad restaurants:
1) Don’t go to a place with a sign saying “Oishii (delicious)”
2) Leave the place if you see any staff coughing or sneezing
3) Have the guts to leave even if you’re seated (before you order) if there’s anything wierd about the place or the staff

Granted even the bad restaurants are okay here.
Follow this advice and your meals during your trip in Japan would stay top-notch

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.6]
Dustin goes ”There’s almost nobody here now.”
“Yea, I wouldn’t dare to come　here alone this late since it’d be actually pretty scary without you. I mean, this place isn’t gated by fences or anything so anything/anyone can easily come, you know? Thank god, Japan’s so safe so we don’t have to worry too much. Yet, alone? No... "

*some rattles*
“!!!!!!!!!Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)” *Akina jumps*
“Hey honey, no jump. It’s me”
“Gosh, my heart really ached in a bad way. I didn’t realise how scared I am in deep down. By the way, do you remember we were afraid of a security guard who started talking to us last time we came? We thought he’d kick us out. But then he told us that there are some wild bores and be careful about them.haha Looking back, he should have told us what to do if we did encounter one! I have no idea what a human is supposed to do. Was it to pretend to be dead? No, that is for bears and I heard it’s actually a bad thing to do.

We’re still only at the very beginning part yet. So... it’s 10:23pm. Ok, we still have plenty of time before the last train! Let’s see how far we can go this time. Do you think we can hit the top? But we should time how long it takes to come back....”

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.5]
“Hey Dustin, I think I’m gonna
try aka Victor’s method now - take night pics without a tripod.
The night photo session with him was a lot of fun wasn’t it?”
*walks on the pebbles*
“God, I love how quiet it is here now. The noisy students didn’t come up, thank god.
Look how these lanterns swing to the wind. It’s almost hypnotizing, right? I wouldn’t mind getting one of them for our bedroom, becoming a full-time shaman
and BILLIONAIRE spiritual guru. Then I can buy your family a mansion if you like? Hehe, oh well ;p ”

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.4]
“Ah, this is it. This is what I expect from Kyoto. I always loved Kyoto since I was young but I deeply fell in love when we came here in the middle of night in 2017.”
And we’ve been telling everyone to do a night walk who’s visiting Kyoto since then...

*nice breeze*

“Ahhh.... This feeling. This is what the word divine means!
It’s like something bad in me from modern every day is being washed away by the gentle wind and lights.

And it’s only about 100 meters from the gate but it’s already pretty lonely and quiet.
Wish this was close to our place... :D ” - Akina

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.3]
“Yay, here we are! Oh, there are a few young people here. That’s rare to see anyone around this time. They seem to be university students. That’s cool they can hang around somewhere like this
just to do nothing...! Right, gonna work on my photos then... It’s been
a while since I took any...

“So, here’s the tripod...”
*Yoisho-Yoisho* (It’s the sound Japanese
make when we get serious)
“Um? Where did my sweet knight go? He’s vanished. Well, he must have gone nuts
filming AGAIN. I should ask his mum if he was a boy who’d be gone for snack without telling her in a super market...

Grrr... the students are quite noisey. Would you mind!? I’d love to enjoy the silence...!
Oh well, it’d be less people as we go further I reckon. So,,, DUSTIN? Where are you? Let’s gooooo ٩( ‘ω’ )و”

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.2]
"A train's comin'... Ah, that's pretty empty, you see? It's not that late though? What's the time... 10:24pm. Hm, maybe kinda late. But it'd be still sardine-packed with drank or/and tired salary-men if this was in Tokyo. Oh wait, 10:30pm? We only have like 1.5h till the last train to our hotel! Shoot, I was too lazy to come out again after the dinner but..., oh dane. I wonder when I'd finally learn not to procrastinate...! *walk walk* " - Akina

[Kyoto Night Walk Vol.1]
Walking from Fushimi Inari station to the shrine. “Hmm.., what’s that? It’s bright up there… Well, it says “Ramen”, so guess this is a ramen shop. I like how they have Gachapn machines in front though. I think the machines are the old style ones. Nostalgic
