Culture & PeopleTravel TipsAbout Rachel and Jun
Rachel and Jun are a Japanese/American married couple who began their channel on February 16, 2012. Since then the channel has grown to about 2.45 million subscribers and more than 365 million views across 269 videos. Their uploads combine conversational vlogs, cultural explainers, practical "idiot's guide" style clips and light travel pieces filmed around Japan. Videos often feature daily life, apartments, food comparisons, quirky local attractions and their pets, presented in short, tightly edited episodes that mix humor with clear context.
For a friendly, bilingual tour of everyday Japan, Rachel and Jun deliver approachable, well edited videos that feel like a chat with informed friends. We enjoy their knack for turning small cultural details into entertaining lessons, whether it is a visit to Fox Village in Zao or practical clips like "Idiot's Guide to Japanese Apartments." The channel is best when you want short, informative introductions to Japanese life and quirks. Historically they upload about once a month, though their most recent video is dated November 2019.
