The onsen was fine. Kinda helped to just feign confidence.

I’ve been to them before, so wasn’t completely clueless, but that was back in 2019.

When we walked in, four guys were already sat down and pre-showering, so it was intimidating at first 😬

I’m about to go into the hotel onsen and I’m so nervous 😭

So many rules. And I have to be completely naked 💀

Moving on from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko today 🗻

I have enjoyed Tokyo, but it hasn’t been as special as the first time I visited in 2019. I think this time was ruined by expectations set by TikTok videos etc.

Spent ¥1400 on a claw game and didn’t win. Don’t speak to me.

My haircut looks vaguely passable once I’ve washed and restyled it and taken a selfie in low lighting…

Jason @jayinbold.bsky.social · 5d

The Japanese barber gave me a Japanese haircut, how dare he.

I’m about to get my haircut in Tokyo and I just have massive anxiety about it 😬 💇🏻‍♂️

Ringu is good. In a cult classic kind of way, rather than a “you’ll be absolutely terrified watching this” one

Jason @jayinbold.bsky.social · 7d

Omg me too. Is it just cos I’m getting older? 😭

Jason @jayinbold.bsky.social · 7d

Did I buy half the costume Pikachu plushies exclusive to the Sendai store?

Yes. Yes I did.

What temperature do you wash at? I was at 30 degree and use a colour catcher, and my clothes don’t look worn over months or even a few years.

Anyone been to Hokkaido before? Can’t decide whether to visit Lake Toya or Lake Shikotsu tomorrow 😬

Each carries an equal chance of being mauled by a brown bear 🐻

It’s literally a slab of butter 😂😂😂😂

Tried some miso ramen in Sapporo 🍜

It was decent, the umami wasn’t too overpowering

Jason @jayinbold.bsky.social · 11d

I *hate* this. It’s so dumb. Left is before, right is after.

Jason @jayinbold.bsky.social · 11d

Yasss, she looks beautiful

The bf has cottoned onto the fact that he’s always the one who goes up to the counter to get coffee 😂

At least he now appreciates the status quo 🙊

Travelling to Japan this morning, so I’m super excited 😍🇯🇵

Finished the video a while ago, but forgot to upload before travelling and didn't have decent enough internet in China to upload it!

Last Malta vlog next week, then working on the China stuff eventually.
