Thanks for making videos that have realistic travel options!! I’m so tired of seeing something cool/fun, but it costs hundreds of $ for 1 person. 😩
I love that you made this video and took hotel expenses into account of the $100 a day. Super realistic!
You both are so natural and chill, that's why I like your videos. None of those ultra hyped up expressions that most travel content creators do.
I live in Fukuoka these days. Wonderful city. Compact, and has just about everything without the big crowds. I used to make videos like this, but I got tired of being the guy with the camera and I just wanted to enjoy everything without recording every second (laziness). I'm glad you're making videos like this, someone's got to do it!
I just want to say as someone brand new to your channel, not really new, but fairly new we appreciate your content very much and we are so very like you! We are looking forward to traveling like you guys more
This channel is now my favorite and my husband and I have watched so many of your videos. Both of you have such good energy and always show that as long as you are willing to have a good time, you will, no matter what’s in your wallet. Thanks Lisa and Josh!
I go to Japan next month for me and my wife's honeymoon, so I'm excited to see this video! Thank you for the great content.
I enjoy watching many vloggers but Lisa and Josh are my favorite!! They're both kind, down to earth, and just fun to watch.
You two are the favorite travel vloggers for both me and my future wife. Going to Japan for our honeymoon has been our biggest dream, and your videos in the different cities have been the most fun part of helping us build our itineraries. Seeing you two love Fukuoka has helped us decide to travel off the beaten path of the big 3 cities and explore a different part of Japan. Much love and always love your down to earth style of traveling.
I absolutely love the budget concept of this series. I am also thinking that a lot of travel vlogs are high end with very sensationalised content, but budget travel is fun and satisfying and a challenge in its own right - especially in Japan! I also think convenience stores in Japan are part of the fun, and even as a veggie I know I can get some cheap eats there and have a great time exploring the shelves. The McGriddle you made - you guys are literally winning! 😂
I used to live in Kyushu. I will be going back this November. I am looking forward to being home for a few weeks. I love it you went there. I hate it people are going to start going. It's a hidden gem. The entire island is a gem. What tourist don't know is that most of the food you enjoy now in Japan is from Kyushu due to the Dutch and Portuguese influences as well as the US Navy being in Sasebo (Where I used to live). It's home to me and I want to retire there. I wonder if I can open a Yatai as an American and just live out my final 30 years as a local? If you are on a budget then Ichiran is not cheap when you look at other places that are over 100 years old and the owners of the flavors in ramen. Your Ichiran is about $11 a bowl and a few of the local spots with much better ramen are $5 to $7 tops and way better. Ichiran is nice but the McDonalds of ramen now. I get that face every time I mention it to my Japanese friends.
Fukuoka is my favorite city. :face-red-heart-shape:
Welcome back to Fukuoka. Great to see a video on one of our two home towns. I saw you also did a 3 day video on our other home town, Sydney. Regarding Ramen in Fukuoka, of course it is the home of Tonkotsu styles of Ramen. Most notably Hakata style. But close to Tenjin, there is a lighter broth version called Nagahama, and further south there is Kurume style. Oh yes, going to Ichiran or Ippudo..... um, okay I'll let you off. Best Ramen is always from the dodgiest looking stalls. Or brave the yattai's. Softbank Hawks are always great to watch. In the last 10 years, the team has won more championships than any other. And for quite some time now, Japan has been ranked 1st in world baseball ahead of the US. Baseball has been popular in Japan since the late 1800's - so it's not a new sport to them. They even have pink days, where the stadiums are full of women and they all get free merch to encourage more women to come out. It makes the fan base wide and encourages families to all come out together. Watching baseball in Japan is always high energy!! When it comes to pricing in venues such as a sporting event, in the west we would suffer captive prices. A case of "well you cannot go anywhere else, so we'll charge much higher prices". In Japan this practice is illegal. A price, is a price. It's also why convenience store prices are not high compared to anywhere else. They cannot simply add a large surcharge for the case of convenience, like they would elsewhere. In Australia for example, a bottle of drink in Woolworths would cost significantly less than the same thing in 7 Eleven. Absolutely, not possible to rip off customers this way in Japan. By the way.... next time in Fukuoka, be sure to go down to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. It's a must in Fukuoka. Dazaifu is the old capital of Kyushu and its history goes back well over 1000 years.
Am loving your real travel $100 a day vlogs. It is more realistic for many of us especially those outside the USA who can’t really travel hack. Thanks
Thank you for making this video. It was a good reminder of what Fukuoka was like and that I should take my husband and son there when we go back to Japan. Your friend described it so well and really its more laid back.
Sshhhhmazing. Lol I love the description your friend described Fukuoka. It seems less intimidating for someone like me who wants to explore but have yet to go anywhere beyond US, Canada and Portugal. Lol
I'm leaving for Japan in a couple of days. Your videos have been so helpful. I was planning on traveling thru Fukuoka to S Korea by ferry. With this video I'll be spending a few days here. I really want to see a baseball game. Keep the videos coming.
Wow... I just came back to home from Fukuoka!😂
Just got back from Japan and loved every minute, i used your videos for inspiration went to Asakusa/Nikko/Koyoto/Hiroshima/Miajima island (yes had the 1000 year tea thanks to you) thanks for the great content and emails you send me really appreciate it Lisa and Josh. ❤
