a shopping haul from spending 2 weeks in japan

it’s here! our shopping haul of (almost) all the things we got during our 2-week trip in japan in march 2024, specifically in tokyo, kyoto, hakone, yokohama, and fujino. this took a long time to film (across different days and months last year) and even longer to edit (this year). i hope it helps you plan and look forward to your own trip—or brings some joy while watching from home :)
