Japan fully re-opened to tourists on October 11, 2022 and on October 14, 2022, we hopped on a plan to begin our visit to this bucket-list destination. In this video, we document our journey there, what to expect when traveling to Japan, and some of our first impressions after landing in Osaka.
This video is the first in our Japan series, though we’ll be finishing up our Korea series in the coming weeks before fully jumping into our travels in Japan! Be sure to subscribe to stay tuned, and follow us on Instagram for real-time, daily updates: @awaywithhays
