New subscriber here! Thx for your channel, I’m headed to Japan for my birthday in a couple weeks, last minute decision and your videos have been very helpful. You’ll get to 1000 subs in no time!
Hey David. Thanks for another deep dive information video. Your knowledge really shows in those 😮 I have a request : there is a ramen food court 一座 in Edison department store at Nanba. Im dying to try it. Maybe you could have a look (and slurp) for me?
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! You’re right, I have been there but I didn’t make a video yet. Maybe I should make one about Edion Namba so I can include it! Thanks for the idea!!
Thanks for the breakdown on passes! I hadn't thought about the difference between the Yamanote line & Tokyo metro...guess I need to look more into that. Very very hopeful to make it next year for the world expo!
Thanks for the comment! Yes Tokyo (and Osaka) has a bit of a mess of train companies so it’s difficult!! I hope you make it to the Expo! My advice is either before June or in October, this summer really knocked me flat!
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately yes, if you want a seat for a child under 6, you need to buy it (although I guess that’s half price). The risky approach (I’m not recommending it) is to try the unreserved car in the Shinkansen and get the aisle seat of a 2-seat block (one side has 3 seats, the other has 2) and hope it’s not too crowded that someone wants to use the 2nd seat. But you would probably have to move your child on your lap when the ticket staff are coming through (a lot!)
