Today we'd like to talk about why we love Japan.

So, just want to start by saying thank you to everyone who watched the first video.

Some amazing suggestions, some really good ideas of what to make videos about.

And also some great places to visit in Japan.

We want to come back next year and make more videos in Japan,

so we're gonna make a bit of a travel list of places to see while we're there, so thank you everyone.

Yeah, one thing we noticed from our first video is that there are a lot of people looking to learn English

and there were quite a few suggestions of adding English subtitles to our videos,

so that you can follow what we're saying in English with the English words.

So if you go back and watch our first video again,

that'll have English subtitles now if you want to read along and practice your English with us

and we'll put them on this video as well.

What we want to talk about today are some of the reasons that we really love Japan.

We've put together a list of six reasons why we really love the country and we want to share them with you today.

The first that I noticed when I went to Japan is how friendly the people are.

It started before we even landed in Japan, didn't it? With the two ladies on the flight.

We actually got our tickets separate from each other, so we didn't sit next to each other on the flight.

We both sat next to these different Japanese ladies.

They didn't know each other either. They claimed they didn't know English very well, but they were so helpful.

For about six hours they were talking to us about places to visit in Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka.

It was just an amazing first impression, certainly for you because that was your first time traveling to Japan.

We had a list. Temples, shrines, restaurants, so many different things that we needed to go and see.

Would we have gone to Todaiji in Nara if...?

Maybe not. Would we have gone to Todaiji in Nara if...?

And that was one of the most impressive things for me.

Nara and Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto, for me, were two of the most impressive things.

So that lady who told me to go there, thank you very much if you're watching.

I told you to watch out for Leicester City Football Club,

I hope you did because two years later we won the Premier League.

Hopefully she enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed Todaiji.

Even when we got off the flight, our first impressions of people in the city of Tokyo were so positive.

Yeah, we were on the Tokyo Metro and we were trying to find our apartment.

We were on a line and we didn't know which line to get.

And we were tired, we had been up a long time.

We had been up nearly a whole day. Near 20 hours, probably.

In the train station, we walked in and there was a gentleman stood in front of us,

he turned around and looked at us and what did he say, Nick?

He asked us if we needed any help, I think.

Yeah, "do you guys need some help?" He asked us if we needed any help, I think.

And then proceeded to not only tell us where we needed to go,

but actually walk with us for about 10 minutes.

I think longer than that. I think about 15 minutes.

Maybe 15 minutes, but he didn't need to do that. I think longer than that. I think about 15 minutes.

Maybe 15 minutes, but he didn't need to do that.

He could have just told us which direction to go and that would already have been super kind.

The fact that this guy took 15 minutes out of his day to walk with us was staggering.

That would never happen in any other country I've been to.

Not just in England, I would never expect that in Europe or America, even.

He looked about 60 years old and we started talking,

we were walking and he was asking us questions

and when he said "how old are you?" we said 24.

And he said "ah, you're younger than my son."

And I was like, okay, "how old is your son?"

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"

And I just thought, an 85 year old man has just walked us 20 minutes across Tokyo,

taken us to the right station on the right line,

put our money into the machine to make sure we had the right money in there and the right ticket

and then he showed us to the right platform, as well.

I didn't know whether to shake the man's hand, I just ended up giving him a hug,

It was amazing. It's a theme we've noticed whenever we've been to Japan.

Whenever I've been to Japan as well, certainly.

Everyone is just so kind and helpful and I think that radiates throughout the whole country.

We hadn't even reached our apartment and I was already in love with the country and the people.

and having a list longer than my arm of places I needed to go is just...

And on top of that, when we were flying into Tokyo

we also got an amazing view of Fuji, which leads us onto our second point.

One of the most wonderful things I find about Japan is its culture and history.

I think Fuji is kind of symbolic of all of that.

That is the typical picture of Japan abroad.

Yes, there is a lot of Japanese art and culture that almost worships Fuji.

Yeah, all of the Hokusai pictures like The Great Wave off Kanagawa and that whole series of Fuji.

It's so symbolic of the country and so popular worldwide, everyone knows those images.

Not just that though, also the juxtaposition between traditional and modern Japan.

I loved that, when we went to Ginza to see the kabuki.
