  • Well, the new Hamamatsucho Monorail Station is still a work in progress. Get to know it a little BEFORE you ride, esp trying to catch a flight. #tokyo #monorail #haneda

    When I first went to Tokyo Japan. I flew into Haneda Airport and then I took the Monorail to Hamamatsucho station where I then had to walk about 10 to 15 minutes to my Hotel The Hotel Villa Fontaine Shiodome. I remember walking around that area and exploring. That area brings back great memories.

    What you said about riding commuter trains with big suitcases during rush hour is so true. In my early, novice days of Japan travel about 15 years ago, I tried to take the monorail and train from Haneda to Osaki (before the bus terminal was built). Bad move!
    Monorail was ok and transfer to Rinkai line at Tennozu Isle ok. I was running late and at about 18:00, almost every stop had a hoard of people getting on train. I tried to stay on the side of doors but handling 2 large suitcases was cumbersome. No one said anything but I sensed others weren’t happy. Super uncomfortable.
    Never made that mistake traveling on commuter train with large suitcases again.
    Takyubin to and from airport is the way to go far large suitcases. Small roll aboards ok on train.
    I see other tourists doing it and cringe. Mahalo for mentioning that so others will know!

    Thanks for the tip, John. I plan on landing in Haneda in spring of 2025. I'm used to using the train system but always good to hear some pointers from someone who's lives there. I try to have good situation awareness and try my best not to be rude. I plan on landing around 3. With customs I might be able to get out of Haneda after the rush hour. Hopefully.

    First time I was in Tokyo I went up the World Trade Center to get a good view of the city and Tokyo Tower. (As you said, this was a good place for that.)
    I hope the new building will also have a dedicated floor open to the public.

    Last Wednesday I went through the station not for Monorail but going to Tokyo TV Tower, coming via JR line, I came through the that entrance going to Daimon. On return I just took the oedo line to Kuramae back to my hotel in Tawaramachi /Asakusa. I left Tokyo via Narita so I went via Ueon on Keisei express. For 2024/25 I may have to go to Haneda good to know

  • @SyaoranLiClow
    @SyaoranLiClow 7 месяцев назад

    Back in 2015, I waited in Haneda for the JR office to open for my Japan Rail Pass, so I took the Monorail uintil 8:00 am, it was a light day (a rainy one) yet Hamamatsucho was jam-pack so I waited the end of the rush hour to take The yamanote LIne to Akihabarta and then The Chou-LIne to Inage. Now I move easily regardless of the train/subway line

    @carolinap8612 4 месяца назад

    In an earlier video where you discussed Tokyo train passes (specifically the unlimited kind) you mentioned combo passes and one of the ones you suggested not to get was the JR combo pass for metro because it was the most expensive and you couldn't recommend it for use because the metro/subway system was so good, as in we don't need the JR lines or we wouldn't be using them enough. But every single person says to stay near/on the yamanote line as it is one loop and the only line that gets you every where you would probably go on your first trip and you mentioned it in this video as well. So, what's the deal? yamanote line is a JR line so, doesn't it make sense to get that pass?

      @onlyinjapanGO  7 месяцев назад

      I don’t use a selfie stick. Those died out for video when 3-axis gimbals became cheaper than $99. Try the DJI Osmo Mobile SE or 6 or any that is 3-axis and can hold the weight these days :) it helps make it so smooth. Use the iPhone for streaming on this channel. Other channel is SONY and an array of cameras / brushes for what I paint.

    Shame the world trade building has gone. It was showing its age , but there was a nice bar at the top with a great view over the train tracks and the area. Could see the shinkansen going through. Bar was a bit pricey of course. NB Hamamatsucho is an excellent area of Tokyo with lots of bars and izakayas.

    I am currently planning a trip to Japan. I land in Haneda and have to get to Edogawabashi Station. I will be with my wife and we will both have a suitcase and backpack. We land at 14h30 so by the time we get out of the airport we are getting close to rush hour crowds. Is a suicide mission doing this on the trains? or should I just bite the bullet and dish out megabucks for a taxi?

      No, they’re just slow. Too many mega-sized suitcases. I’ll be honest with you, very old people take taxi or are driven to the airport. Older people can walk faster than younger people holding smartphones. Age is not an issue in Tokyo as often as you’d think. I like that you brought this up :)

      It’s a worldwide problem. A lot of people bumping into each other too. A lot of wasted time as the walk speed dips so slow to let someone walk and use their smartphone. Tokyo is a mess with it, getting worse actually. Locals more than tourists.

    The reason Japan is so peaceful is because of the limitations on foreigners entering the country for the purpose of establishing residence, even for the short term. Most of these programs eventually begin to allow permanent residency. Come to where I live. I will show you the effects. A Japanese delegation came to my office (Law enforcement) once, and they were very uncomfortable at what they observed partially related to foreign influence on our operations.
