Suggestions for tourists coming to Japan: 1. JR Pass. If you plan on taking even one side trip outside of your main destination city by bullet train, the JR Pass will almost certainly pay for itself. It's also very convenient to just completely bypass the ticket buying process for the commuter trains. 2. Don't spend much money on currency exchange before you come to the country, definitely not at the airport. In my experience, just using the 7-Bank ATM to withdraw cash has a FAR cheaper exchange rate than any of the currency exchange services at banks or at the airport here in the USA. 3. Don't go in August. It's miserably hot and humid. I feel really bad for the people going to the 2020 Olympics cuz of the heat. 4. Have a bit of a plan on things you want to do, but don't overdo the planning. Feel free to have some time to just wing it because it's pretty common to just be walking down the street in a big city like Tokyo or Osaka and see something really interesting that you want to check out. 5. PLEASE check out the music scene in Japan. It is far more than just the squeaky voiced J-pop idols that so many people associate with Japanese music. There are excellent performers in every musical genre or sub-genre you can think of, and going to shows can be surprisingly cheap (though, you might have to buy tickets before you come to the country, which can be problematic and worthy of an entire video explanation on its own). 6. Don't expect to see lolita fashion or similar extreme fashion styles all over the place; it's actually quite rare. If you do see someone dressed interestingly, DO NOT just take their picture without asking permission first; that is considered to be very rude. 7. As mentioned earlier, there are some things that you must buy tickets for before you come to the country (some sporting events, musical events, Ghibli museum tickets, etc.) Not all of these things are easy to get if you live overseas. Quite often, the online ticket sites are only in Japanese, and they require a domestic Japanese physical address to be entered to buy the tickets. This is where services like Tenso, Japan Concert Tickets, etc. come in handy. They'll buy the ticket for you, but charge a bit of premium for the service. 8. Try to plan some time away from the main destinations for foreign tourists. Most foreign tourists tend to go to Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto area. There are other cool places to visit like Nagoya, Nagano, Hakone, Sendai, Himeji, Niigata, Sapporo, Fukuoka, etc.
@@marcfrost1164 Current price for a 1-week JR Pass is $273 ($365 for Green Car pass). Current one way price for a Shinkansen ticket from Tokyo to Osaka is $133 for one way, or $266 round trip. The difference is more than made up by not having to buy a ticket every time you get on the commuter rails in Tokyo or Osaka.
Only get JR Pass when it is actually worth it. If you travel around with couple days in each city it is probably not worth it. E.g., I went from Tokyo to Nagoya to Kyoto to Osaka to Himeji to Hiroshima and finally to Nagasaki. I paid for the Shinkansen trips by just buying tickets, because I spent 9 days in Kyoto+Osaka area, and this break made it totally not worth it. Also, just take the commuter train or go to the rural (inaka), you see more off the beaten path and it is a lot cheaper than Shinkansen.
One of my most embarrassing moments was attempting to re-enter a gate at a train station because I thought I had gone the wrong way, I had a large luggage and was holding people up trying to go back out as the gate wouldn't open. So yeah, make sure you know that gates are one entry only. If you want to exit from the same gate, you have to speak with an attendant, don't try to swipe your card and be a derp like I was.
@Noname Garofano Not worth wasting space on something you can buy on site for 500 yen (like 5 dollars?) when you need it I think. The umbrellas you get there work well with the devices and plastic bags that you are required to use when entering commercial establishments as well. Just get a transparent plastic umbrella from your nearby Lawson, they're great.
Director-san's tip is the most important. BRING GOOD SHOES! You probably will walk a lot. Uphill upstairs downslope...especially Kyoto, Nara, Osaka a bit less. It is not flat like Holland. Pasmo is king, JR railpass is not necessary if you go for a week or so. Public transport is not that expensive, a short ride in the sub or Yamanote is like $3/€3 and it's fast. Look for vending machines, means 50% chance of a trashcan
Yes! Great advice about the shoes. A rail pass is an advantage if you are going long distances (say from Tokyo to Kyoto, Osaka or Hiroshima and back) in those 7 days. The Hyperdia website gives you the prices so you can plan your routes, calculate the cost and decide whether the pass is to your advantage or not. If you are only going to kick around in the Tokyo area the Pasmo or Suica card options are more convenient.
JR Pass is only necessary if you plan on travelling across Japan to mutiple cities that are relatively far from one another. A one week JR Pass is roughly around $300-350 USD, and if you're only going to two or three destinations, it's not worth it. For example from Tokyo to Osaka on the Nozomi shinkansen, it's about $135 USD. And from Osaka to Hiroshima, it's about $95 USD. In total you're spending about $230, which is $70-$120 less than the JR Pass. I know that the JR Pass covers JR metro lines as well, but metro fares are relatively inexpensive if you're staying within the city center (fares range from 100 yen to 600 yen). If you plan on staying within a city, just stick with an IC card such as Suica, Pasmo, and Icoca. They tend to cover main destinations in Japan on both JR and non-JR transportation.
I'd concur on the JR Pass and the IC Card (any one really, they work pretty much everywhere. I like the one with the birds on it they use in Osaka...). Then: If you are into language, learn at least hiragana (katakana is a plus), so you can decipher all the kanji on the subway, e.g. Then memorize the Kanji. Personally, I appreciate why they use three alphabets. Once you get the hang, reading labels and things will be very fast. Also, Japan teaches you the meaning of politeness. Don't skip that. It will get you further back home, too ;-). For the foodies (like me): In Tokyo: Go to a good sushi place where you get the sushi master prepare your meal piece by piece in front of you and eat sushi with your hands. That's the way it is meant to be eaten and good restaurants of course will provide some kind of napkin to wash your hands after every piece. In Osaka or Hiroshima, try oysters, In Sapporo try jingisukan, etc. Anything local. Food is delicious everywhere you visit. If you can get your hands on finer wagyu (kobe beef, kagoshima beef, etc...), be prepared to turn vegetarian when you return home: Beef will never taste quite the same :-) In general, as everywhere else, I did not find it hard to get into a conversation with locals, even if you know just a few lines of Japanese. The people are generally very forthcoming, So if you - like me (a pretty shy guy) - get invited by a nice girl and a guy at the Sapporo beer festival, politely thank them and return the favour. Don't under any circumstances turn them down. It's impolite and you miss out on a great experience.
Lmao I understand them so much when they talk about how the humidity makes the heat feel hotter. Like I’m from Lima, Peru; and here we’ve reached 100% of humidity! Believe me, when it’s summer here, with that humidity it just feels like HELL.
Leaving for Tokyo in 3 weeks! Cant wait! Hubby and i plan on just using carry ons since we know how to stuff em with lots of clothes. So one will be for clothes and one will be for souvenirs
People from Paraná state has this stereotype, but for some reason it was the opposite for me - not sure if it's because of my huge and overly friendly dog or because most people seems to think "Japanese" (actually Brazilian Japanese) tends to be trustworthy Já ouvi falar que paranaenses não gostam de falar com estranhos na rua, mas comigo foi o contrário, em Curitiba o pessoal me tratava bem mesmo quando eu parava pra pedir informações... já no interior do estado viviam me chamando pra entrar e tomar chimarrão.

Yeah, I don’t think packing lightly is an option for me. I’m 6’ 5” with big feet and more than a little extra baggage, I have a hard enough time finding clothes that fit HERE.
nayrskater When I go, it’ll be for eikaiwa. I won’t be able to pack lightly regardless because I’ll be there for a while, and I’m thinking of sailing back if I end up buying a car over there. You can volunteer as an extra hand for passage on some cargo ships. So, I can afford to carry some extra baggage home.
TBustah, buying a car there is not all that easy. I don’t know about the rural areas, but when you live in one of the major cities, you must prove that you have a parking space for your car to be allowed to buy one. Renting parking space for one car can cost more then renting a small apartment.
#1 thing for US travelers- Debit card from a bank that doesn't have foreign transaction fees for withdraws or ATM fees. There aren't a lot of banks that do this, but they do exist!

Bring a suitcase with as much space as possible. I bring old clothes and underwear. When I return home, I throw away as much as possible and buy clothes and T-shirts for souvenirs.
At first: love your videos! I want to visit Japan but There is one thing I really am scared and also curious about. I've heard a lot that tattoos in onsen are often forbidden. Ok, I get that but I'm a bit worried. Are there any other things for people with tattoo to know? Like, should I also cover it outside on the streets or in restaurants or other places? (just fyi it's a small one on my leg, a wolfpaw so I could wear socks to cover it but if I'm visiting Japan in hot weather I prefer to wear short socks, so I just wanna know) 😁
Hi! Usually, foreigners get some special privileges with onsen in places that are used to them - but don't necessarily bank on that. I wouldn't overworry, chances are either no one will say anything or they'll just ask you to cover it up with a patch. There are some places that won't let you in at all. Notably, you SHOULD NOT wear any clothes or swimsuits in an onsen. Try to use something more like a skin tone band aid if one is available and it becomes necessary. Some onsen will provide them for you.
The humidity sounds like home, Oklahoma. Humidity in the single digits is a myth. Here, we usually have somewhere in the 60’s, minimum. If it rained at all, we’ll have humidity in the 90’s, usually 99%, for many following weeks. If we’ve had a drought for a month or 2, we’ll have humidity in the 20’s.
Cathy looking as adorable as always. Bring lots of money. Cathy your covered head to toe how do you deal with the heat and humidity and still look amazingly cool?
OMG first time i come early :P 100things to do in japan (or tokyo i guess) yeah! i watched the same video!! :_) And hope i can meet your if i could go to japan :D
Don't start to put away your groceries in the bag right after the cashier passes them, like you do in Europe. Take your stuff in a grocery basket after paying to a table near the exit of the supermarket, and sort it into bags there. I got SO embarrased for doing this and people looking at me like I was crazy
If you want to eat well but at an affordable price - Yoshinoyas (multinational fast food chains) are the way to go. 7/11s are good too as onigiris are quite cheap but you sometimes get tempted with overspending and buying two bento boxes a day. Any meal over 3000 yen for one person is too pricey if you're on a budget, I had a Gyatsu for that price when I could have had it MUCH cheaper elsewhere (1st day in Shinjuku). Essentially, always scope out the area and get an idea of ohw much meals cost as they will always vary for each restaurant.
For western guys, please don’t forget to bring proper Deodorant and shaving gears cause Japan sucks for these if you are a Male! Lol Trash cans can be found in every good combini store for those who ask!
Do NOT talk loudly, or at all, on the train. Do not talk on your phone in your sharehouse. It's so rude. SOunds carries to the next room. ( Staying at a hotel it's fine. It's not fine on a sharehouse or place with thin walls.) Do not wear shoes in changing rooms in Gap or Unikuro. Every gaijin does it and it's annoying. Respect - FOLLOW - the rules about waiting in line, being humble and not taking PHOTGRAPHS of people and workers in their uniforms. THey will not say "No, it makes me uncomfortable to have you taking my photo", and it drives me crazy when tourists say "come on can I take a photo???". It's awful. Basically, the answer in their heart is NO NO NO and NO. They will not say it. Don't take a person's photo. Even if you ask him or her, they will not be honest about their feelings. Their feelings are "No".
When you interview the Americans, you should include other minorities. America is represented with not only caucasian but also Hispanic/Latino, Asian-Americans, African-Amercians, etc and many more.✨⭐⭐✨
@steve gale You should learn the bare basics of the language of the country you are going to. What are you going to do when you need help and no one speaks English or you go to the toilet and they are only labeled 女 and 男?

If you want to eat well but at an affordable price - Yoshinoyas (multinational fast food chains) are the way to go. 7/11s are good too as onigiris are quite cheap but you sometimes get tempted with overspending and buying two bento boxes a day. Any meal over 3000 yen for one person is too pricey if you're on a budget, I had a Gyatsu for that price when I could have had it MUCH cheaper elsewhere (1st day in Shinjuku). Essentially, always scope out the area and get an idea of ohw much meals cost as they will always vary for each restaurant.

You would definitely get a hug if it wasn't for the pandemic going on haha
What is Pasmo ?
A Prepaid card which you can use to pay for your train rides, so that you don't need to buy tickets
@@Peachelliver I thought these cards are only accepted in 7/11 stores
Also, most taxis in Tokyo accept it. Oh, and of course most vending machines.
my passion two day dawn life.
Rent a portable wifi.You can mail stuff home from Japan.
Why is the camera so low?
To get a better angle of those usa whamen
for an artistic perspective, I guess
Do NOT talk loudly, or at all, on the train.
Do not talk on your phone in your sharehouse. It's so rude. SOunds carries to the next room. ( Staying at a hotel it's fine. It's not fine on a sharehouse or place with thin walls.)
Do not wear shoes in changing rooms in Gap or Unikuro. Every gaijin does it and it's annoying.
Respect - FOLLOW - the rules about waiting in line, being humble and not taking PHOTGRAPHS of people and workers in their uniforms. THey will not say "No, it makes me uncomfortable to have you taking my photo", and it drives me crazy when tourists say "come on can I take a photo???". It's awful. Basically, the answer in their heart is NO NO NO and NO.
They will not say it.
Don't take a person's photo. Even if you ask him or her, they will not be honest about their feelings. Their feelings are "No".
definitely prefer japanese greeting over brazil or any other country
Do not believe it when we say "nihongo jouzu desu ne!"
Hiro K ouch 😂😂😂😂
The amount of non native English speakers with passable English.
ゴスロリの服装とっても可愛らしいですが、夏の猛暑の中だと暑そう...
That black girl in brown shirt is hella fine. Damn she is so far.
レポーターが女性だから、インタビューされている女性がトイレ等の女性特有の悩みが本音で答えられていると思います。
貴重な意見でした。

ブラジルの女性めちゃくちゃかわいい
Check Tokyo Obrah Jr gonna show you Ultra Japan Festival
何時も可愛い服装のカティーちゃん＾＾今回の動画は良かったよ
質問した相手も常識人だったしね 国に寄ってルールが違うから、外国へ行く場合は下調べが必要だな
日本も昔は何処でもタバコが吸えたけど、歩きタバコで他人の服や子供の顔に当たったりして危ないから禁止に成った 東京での歩きタバコは罰金２０００円だよ
謝ってもダメ ゴメンで済むなら警察は要らん＾＾
それに道路が綺麗に成った 外国人の皆さんは決められた場所で吸おうね
ゴミは基本的に自分の責任だからね それに日本ではリサイクルの為に細かく分別が要求される それが日本のルールだから仕方が無いな
日本人の友達を作るのが一番良いが、RUclipsで日本の動画を沢山見るのも良いと思う
日本在住の外国人も沢山動画を上げてるからね 後は日本へ行った事が有る人に聞くのも良いな
日本の夏は湿気が高くてタイ人もビックリするほど暑いが、暑さ対策に良い商品が有るよ １００円ショップで売ってる瞬間冷却パックがお勧め パンパン♪と叩くとアッと言う間に冷たく成る
あと、水で濡らすと冷たく成るのも有る 何度でも使えるし首に巻くと涼しく感じる
ルールを知ってた方が楽しい旅に成るのは間違い無いな
ま～日本人は心が広いから多少のミスは許すよ マナー良く振る舞えばだけどね
おしまい。
Legal, brasileiros no vídeo!

noooo, get SuiCa :P
なんで靴が飛んできたの⁉️🤣
When you interview the Americans, you should include other minorities. America is represented with not only caucasian but also Hispanic/Latino, Asian-Americans, African-Amercians, etc and many more.✨⭐⭐✨
Anyone have the black girls instagram; asking for a friend

Learn basic Japanese!
@steve gale You should learn the bare basics of the language of the country you are going to. What are you going to do when you need help and no one speaks English or you go to the toilet and they are only labeled 女 and 男?
