Hi from Tokyo! Where are you guys watching from?
From Spain ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for another great vlog♥️
Great to see you, I’m watching from Texas
I'm so excited to see you post again. I missed your videos.
Great to have you back. Yey! You got the best fortune. This is very relaxing. Thank you, Sol. 🍵
Every time someone eats spagheti using a spoon something bad happens.
こんにちは😊東京の賑やかな雰囲気を伝えてくれて、ありがとう。📷撮影カメラを変えたのかな?光の感じがいいですね
"You're back!!!"..😊, enjoying this video on my big screen with my "favorite" cup of ☕..,"thanks 🙏",safe travels.
This is video amazing!
Every city is Asia is beautiful and unique💙
Your Japan vlogs are amazing! I've enjoyed every single one of them 🇯🇵 ❤
Good morning from Florida 😁
Vancouver Canada here. When I was in Japan in 1993, the elevator in the Tokyo Met bldg was the first tech marvel I experienced, everyone packed in for the ride to the observation deck and the door closed and I wondered what the wait was for, why we weren't moving and a few seconds later the door opened onto the observation level. In Canada an elevator in a commercial building that tall would have crushed you into the floor and sent you weightless when it stopped and would rattle and clank doing it. That's when I realized that Japan was not built by the lowest bidder.😦 Nice to be back in your back pack sharing your adventure. 🤗
It was so good to see your video pop up 🌸I hope you're doing good take care God Bless you 🙏🤗
The river tour segment spurred a memory that had me going back through my photos and I did one of those river tours as well, but the boat I was on looked like the more vintage style that cruised through your shot going the other way, the interior looked like a rail car from the early 1900's, lamps with green shades. I have a whole string of photos taken from the boat window. Including some apartments and large industrial storage tanks being painted in a teal blue colour with a big Kawasaki logo on them. 🤔Thanks for kicking the dust off a cool old memory.
I loved this video. I went to so many of these places when I was in Tokyo last summer. Loved the National Museum on a rainy day too. Thank you.
🌸🌼🌺
What a nice vlog🎉
I don't know if you're filming with a different camera, editing different, or it's just the Tokyo charm, but I loooove the look of this vlog. It has a vintage look while also still having high picture quality. So gorgeous.
İstanbul ❤
Magnificent tour of tokyo and excellent route
40 mins wait for overhyped bland matcha latte
Great video, but I prefer when you go off-the-beaten-path. Tokyo has so many hidden gems, especially in places like Daikanyama, Koenji, Nakano and Edogawa.
Yaaaay, Sol Life is baaack, missed it!
Some day I'll visit Japan, I know ❤
So happy you're back ❤
And you're a real one for saying Hatoya tastes bland. i was so disappointed by it. I think the best matcha latte I had in Japan was by some shop at the shopping street leading up to Dazaifu Tengu in Fukuoka
Been there around end of May, started to get hot on sunny day and the daylight was very long (4.30AM to 7.00PM 😅).
Tokyo is a big city, I always try to visit my favorite places and explore new ones.
Dreeeeaaammmmy😍
Can’t wait for your upcoming videos!!!! 🙂
These kissaten always look so cosy…
I really like how realistic your footage looks! Which camera do you use if you don’t mind me asking?
세계 어디를 봐도 일본 만큼 건물 깨끗하고 거리 깨끗하고 아기자기한 재미가 가득한 나라가 없더라 하물며 미국도 일본에게는 게임이 안되더라. 이런 나라가 한국 바로 옆에 있어 언제나 합리적인 가격으로 쉽게 왔다갔다 할 수 있다는 건 커다란 행운이다.
Nice shots, love that you're back in Tokyo/Japan again 🙂
Someday, I want to be like you—traveling, enjoying life, and being Happy ❤

hi wanna ask what music this is i would say the first one
Awesome
Thank you for the lovely video. I'm glad you got some beautiful skies to start, but I worry about the weather as you move into rainy season. But as in Ueno, I'm sure you'll make the best of things.
This video is a breath of fresh air. It is incredibly thoughtful, beautifully shot, and carries a profound message. Fantastic job to the creator!
So many commercials, i cant enjoy the video
Qui delícia de vídeo ficou tão feliz ❤
Sol 😳🔥☺️ you’re back!!! Welcome backkkk also amazing video as always 👽👽❤️❤️❤️
Love your home cooking together with this.. love from India
I was looking for your new vlog. Glad that you posted a new one. I also just visited Government Building the 1st time in my April's trip to Japan even though I visited Japan more than 20 times. During Asakusa scenes, I heard Thai languages. It seems normal to hear my language when watching the Japan vlog.
