  • I went alone to Tokyo, Japan! It's time to explore shinjuku city, and maybe make some friends along the way. Solo In Tokyo might not be as bad as I thought.

    A cash tip in Japan: the best atms to use are in convenience stores. They tend to work with all international cards. There's even a 7-11 branded ATM at Narita Airport that I've used multiple times. Other ATMs don't seem to work with international, or at least US cards, pretty often.

    • @People_of_the_Mouse

      Good call. Anytime you travel internationally you should research what ATM networks will work with your card. And it doesn't hurt to let your CC co know you are going to be spending in that country.

      What ATM fees were you charged? You get charged by the ATM company in Japan and by your US bank

    • @jenniferbrown8305
      @jenniferbrown8305 8 дней назад

      @@noelc.2110 I believe there's no fees if you're using a debit/credit associated with mastercard and about 110-220 yen fee for other banks, depending on how much you withdraw. So very minimal! I'd really check with your home bank though, because some charge ridiculous foreign transaction fees that would apply to ATMs.

    Dear Jojo I’ve been watching you for about 3 years now! I just wanted to say I’ve been going through very bad depression after a hard break up and with life. Seeing you do vlogs outside of Disney has helped me today be relaxed and to see things outside our state. You always wish us a blessed day now I hope you have a blessed week. Keep having the courage to be you. You’re making a difference in peoples life you have no idea about ❤️

    @JoJosWorld It looks like you have an iPhone. You can get a Suica card in apple wallet that lets you pay for the Subway with just tap and you can reload the card directly from your phone when you run out of funds. That’s what I did when I was in Japan last year and didn’t have to bother with those machines.

    • @cosmicfortress8121
      @cosmicfortress8121 6 часов назад

      Great tip, I was just in Tokyo last week and used the Suica on my phone exclusively. It was handy for all trains, stores and food. Also many places take AMEX and Visa. I did take out some Yen from an ATM when we traveled away from Tokyo.

  • @ShaunnaCorley
    @ShaunnaCorley 8 дней назад +5

    Always remember to call your card issuer to let them know you’re traveling so they don’t think it’s fraud. I think the bar crawl was a great idea. It looks like so much fun.

    BTW, Uber only runs in Japan in collaboration with established taxi companies, so rather than waiting for an "Uber taxi," you might as well just hail a cab on the street. The cost is the same, or similar. A lot of cabs are on the S-RIDE network, too, where with an app (available in English) you can reserve a cab to pick you up at a specific time and place--just like an Uber!

    Uniqlo is more common in Japan, because it's literally a Japanese company :) Also, solo travelling can be more rewarding than any other type of travel. You have the chance to take things in more and make new friends! Well done for making the most of your solo evening!

  • @eatdranktravelrepeat

    Next time ATMs at 7-11's or convenient stores are best to get cash, you can get a physical suica card or digital one on iphone so you dont have to worry about buying tickets at train stations each time and wont need cash for it.. and for phone service look into getting an esim or pocket wifi so you will have service at all times everywhere i saw you had issues with service in Tokyo Disneysea.. but love the Tokyo content and that you go out of your comfort zone to experience new things

    Make sure when you use the ATM to get yen out, you choose the “yen” option, not the “USD” option. That gets you the best exchange rate.

    I learned quickly the first time that I went to Japan, that despite all of the technology, and cool stuff that it is still a very largely cash based culture still. Always have plenty of cash on hand while there. I had enough, but my travel partner did not. If you are away from the bigger areas it will be tough to use anything other than cash.

    I'm just watching the beginning of this video and I think the reason why your card was declined, is because the card issuing company, thinks someone else is using your credit card because, they noticed it is being used in JAPAN. BEFORE traveling, (especially in other countries) YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND TELL THEM YOUR IN JAPAN from this date to this date. Then they will not think someone stole your CC # and is using it.
