ありだとう Kenchan! It's been a year since I've started to plan my trip to Japan, and your videos accompanied me throughout all this time, your channel is very useful! There are several things that I have added to my trip thanks to you.
I'll go at the end of this month, thank you again!! ❤❤
Thank you so much for your message and kind support for the video Matteoi san! It's great to hear you are coming to Japan finally after one year of planning. I'm glad if my videos were useful even a bit. It will be a great season for cherry blossoms, and I wish you the best trip in Japan. 🌸☺️
I can highly recommend Kanazawa.
We visited in 2019 when our son worked in Toyama. We stayed at the Square hotel. The staff was very skilled at using Google Translate if necessary and the price was outstanding. It is also very close to the Market, Castle and the gardens.
Hope this is helpful.
Thank you for sharing the information. That's great you had a great time in Kanazawa. I'm sure it will be helpful for future travelers to Kanazawa. :)
Great Video kanchana. Would like to know more about the Hokuriku Support Discount like where to purchase this etc. I visited Kanazawa in last September and consider it my favourite city after visiting 6 cities in Japan on the same trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting. Hoping to visit Japan again and would love to support any of the affected cities there.
That's great you enjoyed Kanazawa! For the government aid, I haven't see it on the major site yet. If you have certain hotels that you like to stay, I'd suggest you to check the site after 12th for Ishikawa (where Kanazawa is) and 8th for other areas.
I had already decided to go kanazawa befre the earth quake and booked accomodation, and i have just purchased the voucher from the UK for the hokuriku arch pass, so happy days!!
Great you could get the Arch pass before the price raise. Wish you the best trip in Kanazawa. :)
That trip along the north coast of Japan is so beautiful. I did it last year.... I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a whole other side of the country. Thanks as always for the video, Tokyo Kenzan.
Also regarding TeamLab. I watched just a few minutes of it on the Virtual Japan channel and that convinced me that I need to go the next time I visit Japan. I agree with you that people shouldn't watch much video on it if they think they will see it in person.
Thank you for watching. That's great you had a great time on the Nihonkai side of Japan. I'm looking forward to travel there more in summer. As for the teamLab video, he did a great job that he convinced you to go there in person. :)
Can't wait to get back to Japan. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for watching! I hope you come back to Japan soon! :)
Great update Kengo-san. I was only able to spend one night in Kanazawa on my most recent trip so I would definitely like to come back and revisit the wider area.
The government support is definitely a fantastic incentive for tourists, it would encourage me to go and spend even more if I knew I could get 50% back. I'd definitely be more likely to stay in a Ryokan rather than my usual business hotels or chain hotels with such a discount.
Thank you Jamie san for watching! Yes, 50% would be great to stay at Ryokan with two meals in Ishikawa.♨️ :)
Thanks also for this helpful video about what happened here and what you should do again I’ll check out and will be careful just in case what’s been going on with what happened!! 🤝🤝🤝
Sounds great! :) Thank you for watching this video too Alan san. 🤝😄

Thanks for the update Kenchan. Hopefully Kanazawa can recover quickly, I have heard nothing but good things about the place so fingers crossed tourists can enjoy them as usual!.
Thank you for watching Ryuga san! I'm surprised Kanazawa is that popular among international visitors! It seems the 21 century museum is still broken in some parts, but most other parts of Kanazawa are good by now. :)
@@tokyokenchan I plan to visit there one day for sure when I do my north Japan trip (no idea when that will be but hopefully soon haha)
Ryuga san, I hope you can do north and also south before too long! :) @@firefangz
The same thing happened in Maui, Hawaii after a big fire as area affected by latest Japan earthquake. Some say tourists needed there but others say that’s insensitive of just going to be a tourist when they need to recover. It’s confusing
Yes, I can't imagine how difficult the situation is for someone who lost homes and loved one. Noto's town near epicenter is about 150km (93miles) north of Kanazawa, so it might be a little less impact comparing with Maui.
Great info, Kengo san! I’d like to visit Kanazawa on my next trip! Arigato!😎🌺🫶🏻
Thank you for watching Lilly san! 🌺🤙
2 more weeks until White Day! Don't forget 😅
I didn’t even notice the Valentines’s day..
Hello Kengo san. Another sad update for us Gundam fans is the Yokohama Gundam factory will be closing soon 😢 and gomene for the late comment, i got busy watching Kssumi Arimura 😍 netflix japanese drama 🤭 kawaii!!! ❤❤
Thank you Kenchan. Very helpful. Prayers to earthquake victims. Prayers to businesses that need visitors. I arrive in 2 days for a 30 day visit (my usual duration). Before 2014 it was for business. After 2014, just fun. March (Sakura), June(Nihon Daisuki), September (birthday), December (Christmas)... every year... for TEN years! (^.^) Except, of course, when Japan closed for COVID. VERY depressing. (>.
Thank for such a kind message again. It's exciting you are visiting Japan soon for a month! The best season to visit as you know. 🌸😄 Wow, you probably know so much more about different places than me, but I'll try to catch up with you. :) Thank you for watching always, and have a wonderful trip in Japan. Otsukaresamadeshita.
Made it to Tokyo! Snow - 7 AM 8 March. (^.^) It looks beautiful out the Hilton Shinjuku window. I'm smiling because "Sakura Snow" was unexpected. Of course the flowers are still more than one week away. It's no problem. Snow is a different kind of pretty. Please travel carefully during snow. It's ALWAYS wonderful to be in Japan! Nihon was daisuki yo! (^.^) Time to visit konbini (before people going to work take all the good snacks!) (^.^) Matane!
@CP-FJB Good morning! Surprising to see snow in March in Tokyo. :) You will see the transition from Winter to Spring. You are staying in a nice place. Wish you the best start of your Japan trip. Thank you for writing to me! ^^
I sent a "thanks" but in my reply I put a photo of me at the Hilton. I think that's why it is not showing. That's not important. The important part is that you received the "thanks". It's my first time sending thanks. I did not realize it was possible. Your pinned comment taught me. (^.^) But... I'm a little worried something went wrong. (>.
@CP-FJB Thank you so much for such a big support! I was on plane to Osaka and sorry I didn’t notice sooner. I also don’t see it so I’ll try yo figure out if I can display it on my side. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you again!
I had no problem to pay by Visa (issued in US) in the Ex site last year; but I think I had problem to use my Peru issued Visa. Just checking, is Ex only for Shinkansen tickets? I tried to check out ticket from Osaka to Kanazawa, but no such option at the Ex site.
Hello Edna san. Yes, EX site is only for Tokaido Shinkansen and that route to Kagoshima. For Osaka to Kanazawa, you can use either JR West reservation or other travel agency's sites. I'm glad it worked with the US visa for you!
@Tokyo Kenchan do you know if we are allowed to stand in the Unreserved section of the Shinkansen trains when no seats are available?
Yes, if you have tickets for non-reserved seats, you can stand if you cannot find seats. But you cannot stand at the reserved seats car.
@@tokyokenchan thanks for your reply 😊
Sorry for out of topic question, but I can't find information on JR East Cafe website. Do i need reservations for breakast or brunch at Japan Rail Cafe Tokyo Station?
Hello. I've been there once but it's just like a coffee shop so I think you can just purcahse foods and eat there. www.jreast.co.jp/multi/japanrailcafe/tokyo/cafe/
Thank you for your reply.
like to know more about the Hokuriku Support Discount! I think we can start booking tomorrow , but not sure how we can get the discount
It seems the only way you can get discount is to visit the hotel's site directly and check. Ishikawa is on 12th. Niigata starts to accept booking on Rakuten at 10am tomorrow, but no sure how it applies to English site. This might be a little bit difficult one to book.
Eh... ¥18,000 for a meal? Thanks but no thanks
haha, at least a nice quiet place to eat would be nice for that price. 😅
@@tokyokenchan 🤔 nah, still too expensive
I paid 19,800 yen for a Kobe steak course dinner in Kyoto, not including the beers 😁. It was the best meal of my life so I feel that I got my money's worth.
That sounds amazing! Great it was worth the price. :) @@Omni0404
If we have issues with visas buying the Shinkansen can we buy it directly at the counter days before or the day of the trip taking the Shinkansen?
Yes, it runs frequently so usually you can find the tickets even a day before unless Golden week.
My credit card is VISA, but not permitted to register in EX services.
No issues with MasterCard and IC linkage is so convenient.
Sorry about that. I hope it works out with another card.
@@tokyokenchan May be there is some problem with the EX. I have tried to register with my two separate credit cards (VISA) but none is working. I will be in Japan from 14 th April to 25th april and will book my Shinkansen ticket from JR east counter. Thank you.
Worked for me with Amex
Hi Kenchan
I turn to you for travel tips and you always oblige for which I'm very thankful.
Just wanted to know
Can you go to kapppabashi bridge if the tunnel is closed
I cannot get an update on the website
Wr are visiting Kamakochi 17th to 20th April 2024
Thank you
Yes, it's open from April 17th. You can go in with the public transportation after April 17th. During winter time, there is no public transportation and rental cars cannot go into the tunnel, so you can only visit on foot which is quite challenging unless you are prepared for winter mountains with appropriate gears. There are some information here. :) I hope you have a great tirp. www.kamikochi.org/
@@tokyokenchan
Thanks again
we are in Japan from the 10th to 23rd
Arriving in Nagoya departing from Haneda
I would be more than happy to get you some famous Sri Lankan TEA if you like
Cheers
I love Sri Lanka. I visited Colombo 5 years ago and it's a good memory. :) Thank you!@@kapilachandrabharathi7134
