On my never ending search for fun Japanese YouTube videos, I came across something unprecedented: my inspiration Chris from Abroad in Japan made a video on the same topic! However, I think he beat me because he had five reasons and his video came out before mine... oh well! It's a funny coincidence!

楽しい日本のYouTubeビデオのための私の終わることのない検索では、私がこれまでにない何かに出くわした:海外からの日本での私のインスピレーションクリスが同じトピックでビデオを作ったよ!しかし、私は彼が5つの理由を持っていたし、彼のビデオは、まあ...私のものの前に出てきたので、彼は私を打つと思います!それは面白い偶然だ!

#045: Visiting Japan - 3 Reasons Why You Should Go!

If you're thinking about visiting Japan but don't know how or haven't got that final push to book your trip, this'll give you some inspiration. Despite some views, Japan really is a wonderful place to visit and live!

Reason #3: Japanese Marketing (にほんのマーケティング)

Japanese marketing is everywhere; more so than in famous places like Times Square or Piccadilly Circus. While in those places, bright colors and signs are located around a central area, Japanese businesses place these types of things everywhere in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. This element of surprise makes Japanese tourism and life so interesting.

にほんのマーケチングはどこにでもある。よりおおくのよーにタイムズスクエアやピカデリーサーカスのよーなゆーめいなばしょでは。あかるいいろときごーは、ちゅーおーりょーいきのしゅーいされているいっぽーで。にほんきぎょーはでもとうきょうやおおさかなどとしーちゅ でものごとのこれらのしゅるいおおく。おどろきのこのよーそは。にほんのかんこおーぎょうなど、きょうみぶかいじんせいおつくる。

Reason #2: Convenience

The Japanese never fail to help each other out and make it as easy as possible. While Japan is hectic and a huge culture shock, the ease of transport and almost anything. The Japanese even make it as convenient as possible for themselves and others too, not just tourists. Things like copy machines at convenience stores and helpful signage everywhere in many languages are just a few examples!

Reason #1: The People

Japanese people are undoubtedly the nicest and most welcoming culture and population I've ever met. They're kind, understanding and helpful! Make sure to have a conversation with someone if you know some Japanese!
