JAPAN 2025 Trip Report: Is Tokyo Overcrowded?

Hey Fellow Explorers,

Please join me for my next live stream on TUESDAY August 19 @ 7:30 pm Los Angeles Time.

TOPIC: JAPAN 2025 Trip Report: Is Tokyo Overcrowded?

Is Japan, and especially Tokyo, too crowded to enjoy a trip? We spent 10 days exploring Tokyo and the northern city of Sendai during the famous Tanabata festival to find out! From full trains and 30-minute queues even with a reservation to surprisingly empty temples and uncrowded airports, we show you the reality of traveling in Japan today. Including our experience with booking hotels for more than two people , and why you need to have a rough itinerary at least 3 months in advance to secure tickets for popular, sold-out attractions like Teamlab Planets and Borderless. Was it a relaxing vacation or a battle through a zombie hoard? Watch to find out!

Watch it here:

And in case you missed it I also uploaded a tour of Taipei Airport this past weekend:
