most of foreigners in Japan they are very good persons(like Simon&Martina) and polite like a Japanese.
But recently Only few tourists becoming go wild in Japan do silly stupid thing for their RUclips plays count up.
NANI!!!!!

Sorry, but this made me chuckle.
I am a Japanese 40yo born in Japan.
I have never heard that kind of thing in Japan before people shoot dead people and don’t do anything (call Kouban - police office or whatever)
And laughing while shooting that. I am shocked.
And I thought please this not gonna happen again in Japan same thing. Please please please 😞

The "nani" was great because I read it in an exaggerated alarmed tone.
If you're traveling to Japan, here are some must know travel tips for Japan. Don't come unprepared! These will make your vacation go a lot more smoothly.
Simon and Martina omgomgomg my family and I are going to the Japan for the first time ever this May and this is just what we need!!!!
Wow you guys uploaded this just in time because my friend and I are going to Japan in literally 8 days! Thank you so much!! 😍😘😍
AeroViro (Shenpai) SHENPAI OwO
Me toooooo honestly cant wait
Shenpai来んの！？
Welcome to Japan! I hope I meet you somewhere in Tokyo.
SHENPAPI!!!!
So how was it??
You can see how much effort they put into this video.
Can I also say you are the freaking cutest couple alive. I mean Damn!
Well, this didn't age well. 😅
Simon is such a good actor tho! xD
Omg, where was this video a few years ago! I went to Osaka in 2015 and suffered all the things on here! Needed the toilet, but couldn't find it and ended up holding it till an tourist attraction. Battery on 2%, no idea where to charge. No wifi pocket and wouldn't get my sim card to work, got lost everyday. Need bin to place rubbish, carried it with me till I got off the plane from JP. Missed a lot of train, accidentally went on a express train and went pass my station by miles!
At least I am now more prepare for my next JP trip next month! :)

Do your best! (◎｀・ω・´)人(´・ω・｀*)
I had the toilet and garbage issues (I knew about it being hard to find garbage cans but still) but other than that I didn't really have any other issues. Doing a lot of research about the country you're going to helps, and it certainly helps being prepared haha. I'm certain there were other helpful videos at the time you were going to Japan in 2015 😊 Hope your second trip there went smoothly!
Literally am in Japan and constantly referring to your videos for tips. Thanksssssssssss
I really love the "choose your own adventure" extras!
Find you someone that looks at you the way Simon looks at his empty Starbucks cup.
CupofTJ I'm dead💀💀💀
Ironically?
🤣
I'm really enjoying these "Choose your own adventure" bits at the end lol good stuff. I'm really glad you guys made this video! I would love to see more travel tips for people who want to visit Japan!
The no garbage can struggle is real. I remember it well.
私は英語が全く話せないのですが、この２人のやり取りやしっかり情報を伝えようとする意思を感じるので大好きです。いつも楽しみにしています。
Unrelated but I'm so happy to be watching you guys again
하나Hana Martina looks incredible!
keep up the good work
Love the format of picking a bonus video to watch even if I'm always gonna watch all the videos!
Vina Phivilay where are the videos? I can't find them on their channel? I'm technology stupid lol
When you watch the videos till the end there will be two pop-ups on the screen. Each takes you on a different "adventure" in this case seeing Martina's ekiben or Simon's ramen. Just click on the respective squares that pop up and you'll be sent to that video. I like to open each in another tab and watch both. :) Hope this helped!
Thank you for making and uploading this video today. I really needed it
Ok so this video is the best Japan travel tips video I’ve ever seen! This is the best composed advice video. I’ve been watching as many Japan videos as I’ve been able to find over the last 5 years and I’ve noticed that anytime a RUclipsr makes a “travel tips” video they usually use almost the same information and advice as the last 30 RUclipsr’s tip videos and I’ve yet to come across one that showed in addition to telling. This video is simply the best thing I’ve seen good job guys
That coffee bit was exceptionally long. Lol
YAY LAUREN SCHLEPP! Have I left any response to your comments over the past year that have, in any way, acknowledged what you actually wrote, or were they all just my showing my excitement at seeing another one of your comments?
Simon and Martina on occasion you guys have actually answered my questions. When I first started watching your videos back when you lived in Korea you answered questions I had all the time! And I feel like at this point I've watched your videos for so long I know you guys almost as friends so sometimes I'll just comment something to get you to respond back and it might be a little goofy. LOL
omg rt about the garbage cans, I literally had to hold on to my tako yaki box for a good 2 hours walking along the streets in osaka
You can usually find garbage bins in the convenient stores too. Those are everywhere.
Dunno whats with the big deal about the garbage. Just toss it anywhere...
You need to get slapped. Only people who weren't raised right do that.
chigasaki06 what a pleasant. So you don't think it's an issue with no garbage cans around? Use your brain.
No. It's an issue for nasty people who like to litter. There are places to toss trash, like 7/11's, which are on almost every block, especially in Tokyo. I lived there and never "tossed it anywhere." If I saw you toss trash, I'll slap you, then you'll have to pick it up.
I appreciate how you respect lives here in Japan, the tips and information you give out are always really genuine. I hope all the foreign travelers would follow the tips from you guys. I mean even as a local, there's so much to learn from your videos, shows your dedication to the craft.
Terrific tips, you guys are the best
Oh my gosh. The whole Starbucks scene though 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ugh I love it.
I was so shocked when I went to Germany because washrooms are not free :I so startled when an old lady stood outside and demanded coins when I was done
Hilda Bernhardsson It's not free, because often people make a mess and it's really hard to clean up. So most "cleaner" restrooms have a little fee to pay :)
Actually, it is technically free. The lady asked for a (semi-mandatory) tip, lol. Most people give 20-50 cents.
It really depends where you are, those paid washrooms are more common in bigger cities. Oftentimes you can find free public bathrooms outside the bigger cities.
In a lot of the bigger shopingcentres I went to (like for example "Thiergalerie" In Dortmund or "Limbecker Platz" in Essen) are having a mashine that blocks your way when you want to go to the toiletes. You need to insert money so it unlocks your way to the washrooms. Than you will get a coupon out of the mashine that gives you 50cent discount in some shops (not all) when you buy stuff for more than 5€ ... Those are mostly run by a company called "Sanifair". At trainstations there is often the same, but older trainstations washrooms are mostly run by a company called " rail&refresh" and the diference here is that you get no coupon for paying to shit/pee
My mom grew up in Poland and when my brother and I were planning our trip to Europe she kept teasing us about the old ladies that would be collecting the bathroom money. We laughed it off... She was not lying.
Loved this! Please make a part 2! So helpful.
Why are you guys just the most legit and helpful Japan travel channel. I watch travel videos all the time and I just watched this and learned like 5 new things. Keep up the awesome videos!
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Please tell me what your public bathrooms are like, IN GREAT DETAIL!
Simon and Martina Don't puke out your food 😂
Some have no lid to close when u flush so u Gotta be ready to bolt out the toilet after u flush so u don't get any of that nasty SHET squirting out on you😭😭😭😭
Simon and Martina ummm our public bathrooms here in Orlando are pretty gross. The most common place to go for the bathroom is at a gas station, but like not just any gas station those are usually even worse. Lol you have to go to like a Racetrack or Wawa. Those are literally the only two I suggest. I’ve been on a road trip before where the bathrooms were so disgusting there was black mold, the locks on the door weren’t working, toilet seats nearly fly out from under you when you sit. And one time I saw a vending machine in the bathroom that sold condoms, that was an interesting day.
You guys already know about Aussie toilets. As I remember, the water pressure on the full flush surprised the shit out of you 😂 besides that our public bathrooms are pretty nasty unless you go to a cafe
The public bathrooms around New York State are varying shades of gross and graffitied 😂
LOVE IT!! Please create lots of video about Japan! I know many RUclipsrs have created so much videos about Japan but HEY, its you. Its Simon and Martina, of course it'll be in another level. Keep going, fellas! Love you.
From your Indonesian Nasty!
Wanda Nurwanda And they totally thought of things I hadn’t seen other RUclipsrs mention before!
Met you two at Circus Tokyo a year ago, thanks for a fun vid brought back good memories!
I love y'alls videos! So excited to finally put this info to use since I'm going to Japan in june!!!!
I have never understood why here in Finland I see trash on the streets (even LITERALLY NEXT TO A GARBAGE CAN), when Tokyo has zero trash cans and it's suuuuper clean. It just baffles me everytime.
In May we are coming to Japan!! You two are so super helpfull!
Ive missed these types of cultural learning videos so much!!! Love all your content, but wanted to express my thanks for making such a fun and informative video about the Japanese culture. Love you guys 💜💜
Thanks for the helpful tips! Also I really love the bonus round videos at the end. So creative!!
Yes!! I'm so glad you guys made this!
Awww yissssss, my dose of Simon and Martina is finally here.
Martina- I don’t know what it is but you look so HAPPY in this video! It makes me happy to see you smiling and dancing around knowing that you’re in pain so often. You’re such an inspiration! 💕
Came back to watch this video again and I started cackling when it panned to that wide shot of Simon wildly running around the station. Love you guys so much!
Going to Japan in a month can not thank you enough for the Tokyo station-time management advice
Definitely gonna also check your blog for this as well when it's not 1am
Yeah man. Tokyo station is no joke. We always get there super early and barely make it on time for our bullet train.
Im going to japan in few months THANK YOU this is so useful! (So happy to get video from you!)
So informative, this was awesome! Loved the extra vids😀. You guys are amazing
Going this May!! Thank you for all your insightful info
I've been waiting for this video from you guys. Luckily, our tour guide was really nice I showed your food vids to her, she instantly took me there. The Yamachan and Cremia was so worth it!!! I'm definitely coming back
ONE DAY!!!!!!! I will make it to Japan one day and I'll follow these tips, till then I have the wonderful Simon and Martina!!!! Lots of love xx
So happy genuine youtube videos still exist. Thanks for the tips!

Love you guys! Simon is hilarious as ever and I clicked on Martina’s video first 😂❤️
Victoria Hoffman I clicked on her video 1st too. 😅
Always so excited to see the notification that a new video is up! 💕💕
Bless you guys for posting this video 5 days before I'm coming to Japan! I have been before but never to Tokyo, awesome advise guys thank you so much!
Thank you guys for the travel tips.... they were ultra useful.
new eat your kimchi video!!! so excited! :) :)
Hell yeah!! This is GREAT info. People don't think about things like this before traveling... Also, we use the "hover" method where I live in the US. But I live in the hood so most places don't even have public restrooms...
Thank you for the awesome tips. Definitely saving this video for when Ifo to Japan
As I'm readying my trip to Japan at the end of this month, you guys LITERALLY READ MY MIND. Thank you guys SO MUCH for this!
Love you guys so much!
Always love you guys and your videos! You always brighten up my day :3
I want to go to Japan so badly and I'll definitely be following your tips and suggestions from all your other videos 😄😄
I need more videos like this one! You guys are the reason I visited Korea in 2015 (Best trip ever) and now I need your tips and adventures to plan accordingly for Japan! Thank you, guys!

Wholesome, informative video. Thank you.
You guys. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Super happy for you two :)
Thanks for this video, you included tips I wouldn't have thought of yet are so practical, thank you!
You know, I've been with you guys since the Bucheon apartment and I've always refrained from commenting on your wonderful videos (I'm just not the type to comment) BUT I figured I would comment because of how helpful this is to me for my up coming trip! I'm off to Tokyo in a few months with some friends and we will be going to Kyoto for a few days as well!
You guys are the best
Thanks for the video guys! I definitely plan to visit and these tips gave me a lot more to consider about. The skit made it so funny, such top notch content!
Thank you so much! I know this is a very information heavy video, but I hope people still find it somewhat entertaining as well.
you're video was so much fun. thank you
I love the bonus round videos!!
This is such a useful video to show to my frds when they are visiting Japan!!! Also, little tip if u are looking for a garbage bin, try inside a JR station! Either on the platform or somewhere in the paid area!
This is soooooo useful.I’m going to Japan in 3 weeks and this video will save my butt,literally😂😅🤣
Yay! Ty for making this video! heading to japan in exactly 1 month!

This was so good! I love you guys!
Great video! :D also Martina you look so fit right now! I really admire how you are improving your physical health after already being very inspiring when it comes to mental health! All the best :D
You both look so damn good in this video! Simon you look like you've bulked up and your arms look a lot more defined. I'm assuming the weight lifting is going well then? And sweet Dumbledores beard, Martina you've slimmed down so much in such a short time. Reveal your secrets! lol
DuffChick58 she looks so great
This is so well made and i definitely learned a lot! Thanks for making this, it helps a lot of people!
Awesome as always
I’m so early!!! I’m heading to Japan around December this year and THIS VIDEO WILL BE USEFUL ❤️❤️ Thank you for the amazing video. Hello from Brisbane, Australia
December is a great time to be here! Not too cold, and Christmas here is really pretty with the decorations :D
People in Japan basically do not eat and drink while walking, so there is no problem without trash can.
My stepmom studied in Japan for a year back in the day and she said it's considered rude to walk around eating or drinking unless you're in a large group and everyone is doing it. Is that true? Some of her stories seemed out of date when I visited Japan for a week
Obviously you do not know the reason why they do it that way. But instead of finding out "why", you just want to impose your way on them.
FYI... it is believed that the bins were removed from public spaces after the sarin gas attack in one of Tokyo's subway station.
You are not suppose to eat while walking. Its not about being rude. Its about keeping the surrounding clean. Dringking is still OK but not in a bus or train. Incase the bus/train make abrupt stops, you might spill your drink on other people.
zam023 interesting thanks for letting me know. I'm always impressed how organized Japan is and how politeness/being considerate is the norm rather than the exception.
I always have to take my stepmom's stories with a grain of salt lol. When I was in Japan we picnicked whenever we found a park but I always bring a plastic bag in my backpack to carry trash back with me. I didn't even notice the lack of trashcans because of that habit
The reasons for no trash cans at subway/train stations is because there was a terrorist attack (by a cult called Aum) using a chemical weapon on subways and in subway stations some years ago in the center of Tokyo. After the attacks, trash cans at stations were removed, so that chemical weapons couldn't be planted in them. In other places, trash cans are rare because, in Tokyo, residents have to pay for their garbage to be collected (in the form of buying designated garbage bags) in order to get people to recycle more (waste put out for recycling is collected for free i.e. no need to buy designated garbage bags). If you do not use designated garbage bags, the city will not collect your garbage and it will stay with you forever. If you do not recycle (i.e. put metal cans etc. in the garbage bag with non-recyclable waste), they won't collect your garbage either. Because garbage collection is strictly charged, there are next to no free options to throw away your garbage in public. So, you should carry a plastic bag or something to put your garbage in, and throw it away at the place you are staying, if you're a tourist. It is just to keep Tokyo a livable place by not filling up the existing land fills too quickly. The population of Japan, and Tokyo in particular, is simply too large and the land too small to let people throw away their garbage freely. I hope people who visit Japan would understand the situation.
You guys are the best! Thanks for the tips 💜
Thanks for this - great tips, will be travelling in couple weeks time to Japan!
Oh my God yes I'm going to watch this before I go to school
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!
omg thanks for this video!! very helpful! hopeful you guys can make more vids with these kinds of tips!! so excited to go japan :)
Yeah please do another part, I really enjoyed this
Saw a video with you all making Giant poky with Hellthy Junk Food! In it I saw your Microwave/oven. I was intrigued, and would like to see a video about ovens in the Japanese home! You guys are Awesome ! Looking forward to more videos!
Woohoo! Welcome to our channel!
@@eatyourkimchi I second this -- I lived with a host family and never understood how the heck the microwave/oven contraption worked. I was terrified of oven-ing my microwave stuff. An explanation would be most appreciated
Fries with bolognaise sauce and cheese would be called an Italian poutine in Quebec. It is sinfully awesome 🤤
Awesome video guys, ty
Yes please! Travel tips part 2! Please please! I was taking notes during this. I plan on coming to Japan in 2019! ありがとう
These bonus rounds are amazing you guys! Perfect quality and quantity right here :D

Good suggestion!
Omg yay! I spend a lot of time discovering music from Japan, this is one of my playlists and the most Japanese love song I've ever heard, I know you will love it too. ruclips.net/video/lArSVRB3ewc/видео.html&index=4
I know that this comment will be lost in the comments section, but I would like to thank you for this video. Thank you ever so much for sharing your experience in Japan, you made us happy!
