Just got back from 8 days and 7 nights in Tokyo, with day trips to Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima. Sure, it was a lot to do but very much worth the hustle and bustle! Here’s a good tip, if you haven’t mentioned it-if planning to ride the Shinkansen, try to avoid trips on weekends as they tend to get booked AND sold out. The Japanese are just like us Americans as they work during the week and travel, en masse, on the weekends. Oh, the Japanese are very friendly, especially if you speak to them in Japanese.
Love it!! I hope you had an amazing stay!! 🤩
Thank you for sharing ur tips and for watching!
Was stationed in Japan 5 years ago, finally going again in a week, and I’m so excited because I hype it up so much wife (who’s never been there)and I’m nervous watching a bunch of videos and been doing research for months, just to make sure my wife has a great time. Pray for me 🤞😭🙏 thank you so much for the tips !
I just booked a flight to Japan for a week mid October for my birthday. Thankful I landed here
Recently went to Japan. Definitely didn’t research as much as i could’ve. One was that while money exchanges were common in certain areas of tokyo. Getting money from an atm and just paying the atm fee was cheaper (gave more value per dollar) than the actual exchanges. Also a lot easier to find depending on where you’re at.
Also sentient recommend travel light. Laundry mats do exist and are open pretty late. So just wash clothes while there and buy some outfits if you must. But it was more cumbersome than it needed to be with my check in sized luggage rather than carry on only 😅
I really love logging on and seeing your videos first thing in the morning. As always, thank you so much for being so helpful. Btw, love your background. Its soooooo cute!!!
Aw thanks so much!! You’re the second person to notice! 🥰 you are so sweet
Thank you for watching!! 😃
we appreciate your videos..so much helpful information!! we'll be there for the first time in about 3 weeks..aloha from hawaii!! 🤙🏾
Aloha!! 😍have the BEST TIME!! Please message me on Instagram if you have any questions! Yay! Aloha!!
Another wonderful video about Japan. Next time, I will download the translation apps because I did not on our first trip to Japan. Looks like it is so handy. I don’t speak much Japanese even though I am half-Japanese 😎🥷💕🍍🏝️
😍you’re half Japanese Lilly? That’s so cool! 🔥
Hehe great to see you again! Thank you for watching! 🥰💃
Good morning beautiful young lady ,You give very important tips on traveling and I really appreciate all your guides . God bless you.
Thank you so much Valerie!! 🥰 you are so sweet. I hope you have a beautiful day! ❤️ thank you for watching!
This is definitely giving me a peace of mind that im doing the right thing to research and learn everything prior my arrival in Japan in just less than 3 months (cant believe is so close now) What im stressed now is booking all my activities as the big thing like flights and hotels are all settled. Your videos have been so helpful and cant thank you enough even watch your Japan haul and saw few items I might grab to try myself.
I’m not a beginner, but your fresh updates and reminders are much appreciated, as I plan my march trip for SUMO!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🍣🍡yay!! Omg that sounds so fun!! 🔥 March is going to be so fabulous. I’ve always wanted to see sumo!
Also thank you for your kind words hehe
I don't know if you have done a video on this.... but a video all about hotels and best areas to stay, what to keep in mind when booking. Thank you!
Thank you for the great RUclips video. I will be making my second trip to Japan in December. My first trip I made my fair share mistakes. I wish I’d seen this video before my first trip. Thank you very much Erica!
Thank you michael!!! Hehe always good to see your comments!
Yay! Japan in December is going to be such a blast!! Where are you going to head this time?
@@buildyourmoxie Tokyo and Osaka
I feel like the advice about social media is relevant for any trip and any country. Whenever someone tells me they found a city or attraction underwhelming, it usually ends up that it wasn't in their interests to begin with, but the internet told them it was a "must see".
Also, agree on reserving train tickets. A lot of people online will tell you that outside of holidays, you can just show up and you don't need to reserve. And while that's true, you might get unlucky and have to wait for the next train or so, or end up having to stand for the whole ride in the unreserved car. Not ideal if you are carrying all your bags or are on a strict schedule.
Everything makes perfect sense to me and it also makes me feel like less of a lunatic for checking how long it’ll take from the hotel where I’m staying to get to certain places 😂
@@Ryomou1980 haha yay!! You are doing Great!! A lot of people don’t think about it and it makes a HUGE difference!
I'm going next week, thanks for the tips!
Fantastic advice. Taking it slow is definitely the way to go. I was too quick out the gate on my first visit. I've adjusted on recent visits.
🙂👍
I overly like your planning style, very detailed. Especially the tip for the smaller carry on and the duffel bag, almost every hotel has laundry and I just do laundry once on a ten day trip.
Damn... thank you so much for all the great free advice. Best Japan travel channel!!! Cheers.
You are awesome too, detail oriented lady. 😊
I love all of your tips! Your videos were so helpful for planning my last trip to Japan and I can't wait to go again soon. Thank you for all you do! =)
I have been researching Japan since middle school 😂 going for my 30th bday in November! Super excited! Love your videos as always!!!
Do you have a video on how to pre-book the trains?
@@ElijahNetzel I haven’t made a video yet! But this last trip I booked all my Shinkansen rides through Klook! You can do it a lot in advance!
My code might work but it might work only on the first purchase. So maybe try and save it for the more expensive ride. BUILDYOURMOXIEKLOOK
Then once you get the QR code, just go to the major train station. Shinjuku. Tokyo. Shibuya stations etc. And look for the little scanner :). Then you just click English and then scan ur code and the tickets come out! It is way less hard to do it like that than buying it there on the kiosk :)
You can try the kiosk a few days in advance too :)
@@buildyourmoxie thanks so much for the reply! I have heard of them lots but never really checked them out much since I didn't need to book anything through them. But I also didn't realize how easy it'd be to book trains thru Klook! How neat! I will definitely look into it. Thanks so much!
Oh my, this is the best video! Saved and suscribed!
Yay!! Thank you for watching 🥹
Hi from Barbados!!! Saw the Chefette bag!!!!
Omg hi!!! 😍 so happy you saw it! 😍 I love my chefette so much!!
I’m going to be making a Barbados video soon! I just want to make sure it’s absolutely perfect so people visit my favorite tropical island! I have family in Barbados.
Thank you for saying hi! I’m smiling so big right now 🤩
@@buildyourmoxie im so glad you liked it here! I'm originally from the island of St Vincent, but I've lived in Bim for 24 years now!!
@@azigar wow that’s amazing!! 24 years 🤩
Loves all the tips and these are so helpful, thank you
Outstanding All Around
@@drewcorry5056 😁aw thank you so much drew!!!
I agree with your assessment of Japan, love all the delish foods. briefing around, etc. etc.
Planning to visit Fukuoka next Spring - have you been or any tips?
Ooo we are trying to get to fukuoka next spring too!! Late spring. Maybe camping!
So far I’ve heard that you need to know a little bit more Japanese there! I’m gonna start learning more Japanese before I go!
Everyone that has been has said it’s so beautiful!
For Japanese people, Fukuoka is famous for spicy cod roe, motsunabe, and Hakata tonkotsu ramen. If you go to Dazaifu, you can often find Umegae-mochi, a type of bean paste rice cake, on sale at the approach to the shrine. When it's freshly baked, it's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and delicious. Having visited Fukuoka several times, I recommend Amabi, a strawberry warabimochi sold at a shop called Ito King at Fukuoka Airport and Hakata Station. It doesn't keep well, so buy it at the store and eat it at your hotel. It's a rice cake made with Amaou strawberries, which are famous in Fukuoka. Also, although it's inconvenient to get there, the squid sashimi at Nishinoura Ika Ikizukuri Namihei in Itoshima is excellent.
@@ykk-1 Thanks for all the great tips, you're awesome! I am looking forward, as love Japan, and hopefully, visit the other prefectures.
@@annchee1329 Kyushu, including Fukuoka Prefecture, is interesting everywhere. I recommend Nagasaki, Beppu, and Yufuin, which can be accessed by train from Fukuoka. Nagasaki is the last city in the world to be bombed, and is a place that people from all over the world should visit to think about nuclear weapons. In addition to the Atomic Bomb Museum, there is the Western-style garden Glover Garden and Inasa Mountain, which has a beautiful night view. Famous foods are champon, sara udon, Turkish rice, and castella. There is Huis Ten Bosch, a famous Dutch theme park for Japanese people, but it may not be enough for foreigners. Personally, I would like you to see the Seto Kancho Bridge in Sasebo, which is a short walk from Sasebo Station, one stop away from Huis Ten Bosch. Here, you can see the power of the tides right in front of you. Although it looks like an ordinary river, this is the sea that connects Omura Bay and the East China Sea, and the water flows with incredible force between high tide and low tide. Beppu and Yufuin are located in Oita Prefecture and can be accessed from Hakata Station by taking the Yufuin no Mori or Sonic express trains without changing trains. Both are famous hot spring areas in Japan, so if you like hot springs, they are the perfect place for you. Oita Prefecture is especially famous for fried chicken and chicken tempura, and there are many restaurants serving them.
Just got back and my two biggest regrets were:
1. Letting my friend convince me that summer in Japan would be fine (35-40 degrees C every day 😭)
2. Loved saving money using Airbnb, but never again! Luggage forwarding between the airport and hotels would have been AMAZING (especially in the heat 😅). I'd rather pay more and save the time and stress next time.
I have an idea for a video you could do! Could you show me your yoga or stretching workout?
Oooo I can do that!! 🔥
Thanks for your great vlogs on Japan, I'm now obsessed with visiting the country 😅 What would you suggest for a first-timer, Tokyo or Sapporo for the snow, seeing that I had never seen snow before.
Time. Stamps.
Trip planned for in a few months, thanks for all the handy hints!!
Hi, I'm traveling solo to Tokyo. Any suggestions on a travel guide who'd pick me up at airport and show me the sites for a few days? Thank you!
smarttripai AI fixes this. Avoid major Japan travel mistakes.
HI, How did you weigh your luggage at the end of your trip to Japan to make sure it wasn't too heavy with all the gifts? thank you for the video 🫶🏻
Great question! I use my luggage weigher 🤩. I bring it with me every time I travel on an airplane! I love this one. It’s accurate and only a few bucks! amzn.to/46V9B2o
"that's so sad, huh?" 😂
Thanks for the helpful video and beginners guide - especially about ESims. I check out Airalo and it looks good. QUESTION - the plan is for 28 days but well be there for 31 days. If we buy a second plan to cover the extra days, can the remaining 25 days be changed to use up back home in Australia. Thanks.
Hi hi!!! You can just pay a few dollars and top it off with like 1, 2, 5 gb more! :) no need to buy an entire new plan!
Also try the code ERICA6357 and it saves you extra few bucks! That’s pretty much the last 3 days of your trip! ❤️ I just asked someone else and they said the code worked!
ref.airalo.com/LfBj
The plan is only good in the country you buy it because it connects you to their mobile servers!
Thanks. I thought so but asked just in case. X
For me there is only one rule. Never go to Japan in the summer season 😂
It's hot and humid as a sauna 😅
Hahaha! I’m literally traveling all seasons in Japan except summer 🤣. I just cannot. Singapore just killed me so i just can’t 😂
We will travel in tokyo in Oct and we are not so young👵 what and where and what is the best hotel for us? Thanks
I am also traveling in October as a not so young solo traveler. Can't wait. I was able to use KimKim for building my itinerary. So helpful. Made all of my hotel and most of my transportation reservations. Highly recommend
Can you use ESIMs if you have US phone? Usually locked. Thanks!
@@lucreziadifabrizio9816 eeeeek. You might not be able to on a locked phone. 😓
Try pocket WiFi if it won’t let you ❤️
If you take the eSim, can you share it via mobile hotspot?
Hello, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately because we're taking our 1st trip over to Tokyo. Thank you for all the insight! I do have a question, I'm not sure if you can answer or not. I plan on hiking Mount Fuji. I plan on purchasing one of the walking sticks where they brand the stick with a "stamp" as you go to each station up the mountain. I would like to know what the procedure may be to getting that onto the plane for the travel home, and whether I need to check it, or if it's even possible at all. Not sure if you'll know or if you've seen this occur on your travels. Anywho, thanks again for all your help so far!!
Hello. I'm Japanese.
I don't know much about Mt. Fuji, but are you talking about "金剛杖(kongou due)"?
If so, you will need to leave it with the agent when you board the plane.
I don't think you can bring it into the airplane cabin.
Thank you for considering traveling to Japan. Have a nice travel!
Could you recommend a hair salon in Tokyo? 😊
I haven’t gotten my hair cut but you should check out harajuku area! Takeshita street has some really cool places. So cute!
@buildyourmoxie Thank you! Will definitely look up in those areas; I'm interested in getting my hair straightened.
@@JeanC... oooo Japanese magic perm?! 🤩 for sure harakuju and Shibuya will have some places. You can also try ginza but it is gonna be more pricey there cuz it’s like Beverly hills of Tokyo
awesome video! Thank you. as we are traveling soon to Japan. How difficult to use english in Japan? I am worried cant communicate in the matter of urgency for example, or bought wrong item or something else. I heard, some busy places the staff not keen waiting for us to use google translate
@@rudylim9735 I don’t speak Japanese (yet!) and I rarely took out my translation app because it takes time. I haven’t had any issues!
I would say the best thing to do is be aware of your surroundings. Follow what others are doing and then copy 😁.
One time my little ticket thing wasn’t working but they were patient with me and we figured it out on the side!
As far as food goes, you should be good to go as long as you watch what others are doing! ❤️
@@rudylim9735 I would say if you are shopping, you will have time to do translation app through the camera! 😃
@@buildyourmoxie good to hear that. 🙏
@@rudylim9735 have a great time!!
DO YOU DO BICEPs workout, looks like you do. Maybe a MY WORKOUT video.
😁yeah! I workout a lot and lift heavy weights! 🤗 exercise videos will be coming up sometime!
Sh*t!! Number one I’ve already failed at! :D
Hi - great vid - i was screwing around with getting great rates to goto Bali to relax for a month or two...so what happens? I find a $398 RT from california to Tokyo ( so much for relaxing) so I booked it...I've been researching my trip, booking everything and even spending time learning the language .. I'm exited and plan to relax in Kyoto for a week...I want to take the Nozomi to kyoto. AND I want to save...do you know, if I buy a JR rail IC card for local transit will it save me $ to add the EX Shinkansen to my JR pass or Smart EX ? I'm hoping to save over $4,300 yen. let me know if you have tips for saving taking Shinkansen
If I go to Japan with carry-on only, how can I bring back the great beauty products because of the liquids rule? 😢
@@pandarush. I bring a duffle bag with me and then check it in on the way home! I do my shopping at the end of the trip at my last hotel stay!
@@buildyourmoxie Your duffle bag hasn't ripped or gotten stolen or lost?
What was the E-Sim you mentioned? Sorry you spoke so fast!
It’s called Airalo!! 🤩 I really liked it a lot!! So cheap too! ref.airalo.com/LfBj
Also I found a code. I think it will give you a discount if you want to try it. I haven’t tried it but if it saves you a few bucks then that is going to be the craziest good deal ever lol.
Code is ERICA6357 when you sign up or check out.
Yay! Have a great timenn
@buildyourmoxie Ah brilliant. Thanks for your reply! Your vids are really helpful!
@@jackysnailbeef yay! I’m so happy to hear that!
