This video is my full debrief on my (very) involuntary solo trip to Japan as a girl — like, the real “what I did, what I booked, what I wish I knew” version. I’m a pro solo traveler at this point, so I walk you through my two weeks across Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Tokyo: temple days in Kyoto, learning history in Hiroshima, and then the full chaos of eating, shopping, and exploring in Osaka and Tokyo. I also talk about the fun stuff that made the trip feel extra special, like doing a matcha ceremony with monks and going to Sanrio Puroland to visit Hello Kitty at her house (yes, I did that and yes, it was iconic). I also get super practical: what I packed and “made to survive,” how I actually made friends while traveling alone, and how I decided where to stay (hotels) and how to fly (airline). Then I break down getting around Japan — when I walked vs. took the subway vs. used taxis — plus bars and restaurants I genuinely liked. At the end, I wrap it up with a “before you go” section and the apps I recommend so you can plan smarter, feel safer, and have more fun. If you want even more context, I mention my Tokyo vlogs too.
