Hey guys! It's Ashley and I'm finally here at Japan.

And just a little recap of my journey, I booked this flight impulsively for my first month.

Since it was impulsive, I had to book a cheaper flight alternative.

That's why I had a layover in Cebu, which was worth it because I was able to save around 200 US dollars.

So if you're interested to go to Japan, here are the requirements that you will be needing.

And then for my LTE SIM card, I got this one from Sakura Mobile.

You need to pre-order it before going to the airport.

At Narita or any airport in Japan, you can pick that up.

And then for the money, you can withdraw using ATM machines at the airport or even at convenience stores.

And if you have a large peso, you can have it converted.

There are money exchanges at convenience stores like 7-Eleven.

Then for transportation, you can get the PASMO card or SUICA card.

And you can buy it and reload it at the stations.

So those are the main requirements that you will be needing.

So upon arriving at the Narita Airport, instead of getting the airport transfer,

which was super expensive when I looked at it, it was around 8,000 Pesos, the airport to our Airbnb.

Instead of getting that, I just got the bus from KLOOK.

That's all I got. It was around 1,300 Pesos and I saved a lot because of it.

Hi guys, so it's freezing cold out here.

Like, look.

But anyway, the food was good.

And I met up with one of my closest friends, Aika.

She lives here in Japan.

And then the next day, we went to our Airbnb, which is this one.

Hi guys, so we finally made it to the Airbnb.

Aika, say hi!

Hi!

And this is our room.

It's so pretty.

It's so pretty, guys. It's like a loft-ish.

But then this is the stairs.

And then you have a double or queen bed.

It looks so nice, guys. I love the lighting here.

I love the white. White interior.

Very Ashley.

It's very open.

And then this is what the kitchen looks like.

I love the kitchen, too.

It's a decent small kitchen.

This is decent compared to apartments in Japan.

This is pretty big, yeah.

Can you see the light?

Oh my God, it's shining on you.

Golden R yarn.

Everything's white.

Very...

What do you call it in Filipino?

Aesthetic.

Clean. Minimal.

This is what the comfort room looks like.

And then when you go up, let's go up.

Wait till you see the rooftop.

It's the best.

Amazing view.

Can't wait to have coffee here.

Same!

It's so cold.

It's like you're having a cold.

Last time, it was like negative 1, right?

Yeah, negative 1.

So yeah, that's about it for the tour.

It's located on the 5th floor.

We have to carry our luggages.

Morning workout, yes!

Moment of truth.

Are we gonna get all of these bags?

Good news.

There was like an angel sent from above.

The airbnb below us has a cleaner.

And he helped us carry all our luggages.

Hello, everyone!

Finally, we're here at Mount Fuji.

This is my first legit snowing experience.

And it's with Aika!

Guys, it's freezing cold.

There's no heating now.

Okay, go for it.

It's not big, is it?

It's not.

It's too thick.

Okay, so quick outfit check.

This is what I'm wearing.

Actually, right now, guys, I have 3 heat decks on top.

And 3 heat decks on the bottom.

One of them is ultra heat deck.

This buffer jacket is from Zalora.

The earmuffs are from Shopee.

Hands are from Zara.

And then boots are from Shein.

The eruption will begin in 3, 2, 1.

And in the same area, there are also some outlet stores.

Designer outlet stores.

Which brings us to this haul.

So, I've decided to do this simultaneously.

Show you guys all the things that I got.

And at the same time, take you along with me throughout the vlogs.

So that it's less boring.

And so that I can explain or tell you how I got it, where I got it, and everything else.

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Going back, we went to this outlet store.

We ended up at Longchamp.

And I got some things there.

I was surprised because the bag that I really wanted was still there.

It's available for 40% off.

So, I finally got it.

I thought, this is the bag that I really wanted.

It's already inside.

And ta-da!

Pink Longchamp bag.

It fits my laptop.

Like, look at that.

And I also got another one for my mom.

So that we can match.

And this is her favorite color.

Yeah, my mom loves tote bags, like big bags.

And she brings her whole life with her all the time.

It's so eye-candy, right?

Wow, guys.

If you go there, you'll go crazy for other designer bags.

Like, if that's the one that you want, that's brand new.

50% off.

Their prices are like that.

So, I recommend for you guys to check that one as well.

Next day is Shibuya day.

So, before going to the Shibuya crossing,

we visited this beautiful cafe.

It has like a flower shop beside it.

I just posted a video for Daiso.

And I can't believe that I am working with them.

So, I just want to remember this moment.

Because it's like I'm living in a dream.

It has always been my dream to travel alone or travel with a friend.

And I'm working with my dream brands.

And it's all because of you guys.

And I don't want to get emotional.

But I just want to remember this moment.

This way.

I'm with you right now.

It's super pretty.

We're gonna go now to Shibuya crossing.

And Shibuya sky in a bit.

So, I'll see you guys.

The shades are like a dupe to Hailey Bieber's Balenciaga shades.

I got it from Shopee though.

And then after that, underneath the Shibuya sky,

you'll see a restaurant named Surutontan.

I don't know if I'm mispronouncing it.

But we paid around 540 pesos for this huge-ass meal.

It's so big.

Honestly, it's affordable for what it is.

Like that experience.

We had a dinner with an overlooking view of the Shibuya crossing and the whole city.

And it was so beautiful to see the sunset.

And then the lights were slowly turning on.

It was so beautiful.

It was such a different experience at night.

Honestly, you would see all of the lights and how lively the whole city is.

And then the next day is Harajuku day.

So first things first, we went to Ralph's.

It's like a Parisian-looking cafe.

And I underestimated their food.

It was so good.

It was a bacon and egg croissant.

And it was so good.

The only thing is, it's a bit pricey.

And then I saw Vivienne Westwood.

I usually buy from them online.

There were so many people when we went there.

It was wild.

And I got myself a little something there.

So I got a watch.

A watch?

A wallet!

Ta-da!

Wow, there were so many people.

When I found this, it was hidden in the drawers.

And then when I found it, I was like...

And then there were two girls beside me wanting the same thing.

I was like...

Dips.

I was like that.

And then they were like...

I saw them waiting, like...

Laid down.

Put it down.

Put it down.

But then I got it!

And it's so functional.

I haven't tried a dessert flop here in Japan.

So...

We shall see.

We shall see.

We still have to do a taste test before we conclude if it's worth it or not.

Cheers!

Itadakimasu!

Yummy!

Guys...

I'm so clumsy.

I haven't eaten for a minute.

It's all over me.

And then I found the Fjällräven Kanken store.

First clue, I hope this is my backpack again.

It's so worth it to buy from other stores because of the minus tax.

And you guys know I love diesels so much.

My white bag, I overused it.

Even my wallet from them.

And a lot of you are asking where do I get my diesel stuff.

I actually get it from Farfetch.

So shipping is so expensive.

Taxes.

When I buy from other countries.

So the first thing that I got is a wallet on a strap.

This is what it looks like.

And when you open it, it's really like a wallet.

And then you can also remove the strap.

But you can use it as a shoulder bag.

Or you can use it as a handbag like this.

The second thing that I got from Diesel is this one.

Ta-da!

It's a pastel purple bag.

It reminds me of a lunch box.

Oh! Oh my God!

You can use it as a shoulder bag.

So cute!

I thought that this wasn't available.

Because diesel stuff are always sold out everywhere.

But then I got shoes from them.

ASMR.

Here are the choices for the heels.

This denim is so pretty.

Look at the detail.

I was also thinking of getting this bag.

And it's a good thing that I waited to see this in person.

Because the material is very delicate.

It's not perfect for someone like me who's very clumsy.

I got heels!

Look at the logo.

It looks so chic.

He's dead?

Or he's playing dead?

Okay, you squish.

I think stop.

Ew, my boy!

He looks disgusting.

Why is he so fat?

He's not malnourished.

He's healthy.

He eats a lot in Japan.

He has a lot of food.

Filipinos are malnourished.

They have poverty.

We don't eat.

And then the next day, we went to Asakusa.

Our first agenda was to go to a cooking class.

And we learned how to make miso balls and also sushi.

What's your name?

Ashley.

Ashley!

Honestly, this was a cute experience.

I highly recommend it.

Especially if you're in a group.

Itadakimasu!

Fun fact, my favorite food is salmon sashimi.

Oh, you like salmon sashimi?

Yeah.

Our family, we ate the whole bilao.

We only ate that for New Year's.

And then we went to the temples of...

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's time to look at our fortune.

You can have any one.

I've got so many good recommendations when it come to desserts and one of my favorites

is this strawberry mochi.

And then we rode a boat transfer to Odaiba.

Odaiba is like the New York City of Japan.

It's such a beautiful place.

Meron niyang statue of liberty sila.

And then when we arrived there, we had a lovely picnic by the river.

We ate Taco Bell, and then took photos as well.

You are my own hell

I won't let you out my sight

Cause then I would have no life

And someone else would find you open and true

New York, here we go!

When is our goal here?

New Year 2023?

2023, New York 2023?

2023, 2024.

And I am walking up in line

Hey guys, the sunset is so pretty.

I miss Sean so much.

As in super due namin mag-Japan together.

But it's okay, I have you with me right now.

You, you the one watching this.

And then I have a story time for this one.

We went to like a food hall na parang puro mga, tabi-tabi siyang mga Japanese resto.

I was really craving for a good ramen.

And then I picked this Wagyu ramen, and it was around 1,950 yen.

So mga nasa, let's say 1,000 pesos.

And then after we ate, alam mo yung usual na nag-uusap kayo.

Alam mo yung like taking time, papababa ng food.

And then nagulat na lang kami, like this waitress asked us to leave.

We were shook kasi syempre ang mahal ng food naming dalawa.

And the vibe of the place, it didn't give a fast food vibes naman.

Na parang alam mong on the go lahat ng tao.

So unless nagulat lang ako na parang ah uso pala yun.

Na parang pwede kayong paalisin, basta tapos na kayo.

Next day is the Soko Cafe Day.

This is one of the popular cafes at Tokyo.

I just saw it on TikTok, it went viral there.

And then, grabe.

If you're on a budget at Japan, you have to try Tsukiya.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but Tsukiya for me is greater than Yoshinoya.

I don't know.

Grabe, ag-sarap.

If you're there, try the Gyudon cheese.

I tell you, I ate six times sa Tsukiya and ordered the same thing.

Gyudon with cheese.

You have to try it.

Tsukiya for the fifth time.

Pag bumutok kayo dito sa Soko Cafe, katapat lang dun Tsukiya.

And then the next day, we went to a photo booth.

And it was available sa train station.

Actually ano to, pang ID talaga.

This one is worth 1,000 yen.

Outfit check.

Shirt is from H&M.

Skirt is thrifted.

Belt is also thrifted.

Bag from Diesel.

Shoes from La Moda.

Top from Brandy Melville.

Headband is also from H&M.

And then, dito ko sobrang na mind-blown.

Like, ang mura for what it is.

We went to Kura Sushi.

If you guys are familiar with Genki Sushi, diba ang mahal dun?

Yung parang naka-train, and the chain will serve you the sushi that you ordered.

Tapos 6 plates ako guys, for 350 pesos.

Like, I am shook.

Grabe, ang mura, ang sarap.

We're underneath the Tokyo Tower, and we're gonna get some crab.

Then, the next day, I went back to Ginza.

I was actually looking for Adidas Sambas everywhere.

Gosh, Bella Hadid, you are something else.

This is the Adidas Gazelle.

Grabe, ang mura ko ito nakuha.

Parang nasa 5K lang siya.

This one is an answered prayer.

I went to YSL.

Finally, I have the It Girl bag.

As I said, it's from YSL.

And then, this one is from Adidas.

And then, this one is from Adidas.

And then, this one is from Adidas.

Finally, I have the It Girl bag, as they call it.

When I went inside the store, I pointed at the bag.

Ibang color kasi siya.

Sabi ko, do you have the black one?

And then, she was like,

Oh, I'm so sorry.

That other girl is holding the last piece of the black one.

And I was like, oh my gosh.

Hindi meant to be.

As in, asakit.

Alam mo yung nakita mo na.

Pero parang, ah, bibiling ko na eh.

Pero nasa ibang girl.

Then, she was like, holding this one to her dear life.

I was like, just beside her.

I was like, please don't get the bag.

Please don't get the bag.

Feeling ko kasi pag kinuha ko sa ibang color,

parang, parang desperate move na siya.

Hindi naman yun talaga yung inaay ko.

Anyway, so, ayun.

She let go of the bag eventually.

And then, when it was handed to me,

I was like, okay, I'm gonna get it.

Ta-da-da-ta-da!

Mine yung baby!

Such a classic.

I just know that I will use this a lot.

And I'm so happy to add this into my little designer bag collection.

Thank you, Lord!

Next day, we went to Theme Labs.

It's basically like an interactive museum thingy.

And then, it was time to say goodbye to Aika and be on my own.

Okay, time to say goodbye to Aika.

I'm so scared!

You can do it!

You're a strong, independent woman.

Repeat that with me.

I'm a strong, independent woman.

Thank you!

Bye!

I'll see you in the Philippines, okay?

Okay!

Love you!

Bye-bye!

Bye!

Message me on...

Itadakimasu!
