      Another translation app like Lens or Papago that you may not know but it's pretty useful and free is DeepL.

    Highly recommend shipping your luggage to hotels, airports, airbnbs, anywhere. It’s super safe, secure, and on-time. No more lugging that luggage up and down the subway stairs.

      Isn’t it quite expensive though?

      ​@@MaryamTayeh-k2c because a lot of people use it, it is not expensive. It really is very common to ship your luggages within Japan. Tt is why you don't see the Japanese lugging big suitcases in shinkansen etc. I have never been to Japan but have been doin lots of research as I haf plans to go next yr end... Hope this helps!

      Im flying to Japan on the 1st of October 2024, I arrive at Tokyo the day after. Besides Tokyo we are also visiting Osaka and Kyoto and of course I wanna use the system that drops my bagage at the next hotel where I’m arriving. My question is: When is it the best time to do it? A day before I’m checking out from the hotel to go to the other one, or can I do it the same day? I don’t wanna reach at the other hotel(s) while my luggage is still not there.

    I was so close to visiting it one point. I had experience with modeling and in 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit this Japan... Great channel!

    Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your trip to Japan and Korea. Thanks for the heads up. Last May, I visit Tokyo for the 1st time in 2024, it's good and awesome, but the train is super crowded on the busiest hours, including Disneyland in Tokyo/Chiba and days, weather is unpredictable and almost most restaurants don't accept card, which is quite annoying, so I have to bring a lot of cash.
    I been to Osaka for the 1st time in October of 2010 when I was a kid, it's good and awesome, I enjoy my 1st trip to Japan.

    would you consider getting a JR pass for a 15 day stay? or is it not worth it.

    • @mayaleex3
      @mayaleex3  Месяц назад +2

      JR pass is only worth it if you’re going back and forth between other cities on the bullet train - not the regular trains :) if you’re only going from let’s say Tokyo to Osaka and back, that won’t be worth the price!
