What Are the Top 5 Things To Know Before Coming To Japan?

Thanks for the tips!!!!

Thank you for being clear and to the point, and not having distracting background music. This is good.

I love the fact that you guys are articulate and organized while explaining everything

Having Yen is always a good idea. I found that purchasing an IC card was also very helpful. For the week we stayed in Tokyo after our guided vacation tour around Japan, it made getting around on the trains painless and stress free.

I really think your videos are well done. You offer a very clear information in a short period of time.

Greetings from Orlando Florida. Awesome info and thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Thanks!

Thanks for the luggage tip! I would've never thought that 4wheel luggage would be best. thank you for the tips 🙏🙏

thank you. It was a good learning experience as they pointed out things that we usually don't do.

Thank you for another fantastic (and well explained) video! Quick question...is the Currency Exchange at Haneda open on weekends? We'll be arriving on a Sunday afternoon.

Great video. Are the Limousine busses in the new Garden mall area or in Terminal 3 Thanks

In Kyoto in 2019, some cabs said that they did not accept credit cards and said that on the outside of the vehicle. Others had no problems with credit cards. Would always make sure that you have cash on you in Japan. Also a coin purse, as you don’t realize how many coins you get. I have had after a week 3500 yen in 100 yen coins

Thank You , Becki and Shawn: great tips. My wife and I are taking a guided Japan tour in 2024, June 21-July 6…. Rainy Season.This is the only time we can go ,and, being seniors, we might not get another opportunity… We don’t mind some rain;hopefully it isn’t hard and constant. Should we buy light, waterproof walking shoes? Are we better off getting an umbrella over there, or would we be better off with a poncho and hat?Again: Language,Chopsticks, 4-wheel luggage and money are very useful tips. Much different from our many European tours. Ciao, John

Thanks for all the great tips. I am scheduled to visit Tokyo the end of April 2024 for a week. While in Tokyo I plan to visit a baseball stadium. Are you familiar how difficult or ways to purchase a ticket to see a game. Thanks so much.

Hello. Thanks for the informative video. Does anyone know at what time does public transportation to the Narita airport ends? we have an early flight and are trying to figure out where to stay in Tokyo.

At the Haneda airport, will I get the same exchange rate by using the 711 ATM as the currency exchange office? Thanks.

I ask if ok that can you bring your own fork and spoon?

Is sushi an exception to the no dining with hands rule?

If I have a 4 year old with me will he need his own passmo/suica card. In other words how young is free to travel with on the trains

The "most troubling" question for me actually is: how far in advance do I need to book for hotels and some attraction/places (example "The Roof" bar in Shibuya Sky or some "tourist train rides")???
