Japan is so different than anywhere else in the world that it features on most people’s travel bucket lists. Mine included.

But what’s day-to-day life actually like in Japan? This video offers a simple overview of life in a Japanese city and a Japanese town.

The best thing about this video is the lack of an on-screen personality. So many travel bloggers and YouTubers make it about themselves now, whereas this offers an unimpeded view of Japan.

I have always wanted to visit Japan, and this video has only made that desire stronger. And now I want to split my time there between a city and a small town!
