I don't have iphone, can I use android?

thanks again for providing helpful tips a traveler will require to Japan, very helpful. :) may I ask if you have a link to Japan Wireless? I can't even see it from Klook since I want to reserve prior to our trip this Oct.

Really great videos you guys make! I need confirmation to which is the best way of transportation for a family of 3adults and 2kids when we visit Japan next month for 2wks. Itinerary: tokyo - tokyo bay (disney) - osaka - kyoto - tokyo.

I bought the Kansai One Pass in Osaka and used it without problem in Tokyo.

very helpful for 1st timer. thank you!

Thank you this literally answered all my questions. Amazing video.

just returned from a 14 day trip to the area and picked up 3 suica cards at Tokyo Station. The CSR reps there were super helpful! The odd thing is we wanted the Welcome Suica card but they weren't available and we also had a child in our party and a child suica card wasn't available.

This video helps me a looooooooot! As budget traveller I needed this! You guys have no idea how you helped me on the other day is on my flight

Hi . I’m in Tokyo now and today I scan my QR code from klook reservation , and I got 2 tickets , but I Book reserved tickets . Is it correct ? Thank You for replaying

Hi, should I book our train tkt in advance from KIX to Osaka or better to buy it in the train station when we arrive in KIX at 7pm? Thank you so much.

I just got back from my first solo three week trip to an amazing Japan I could not have anticipated. I watched your videos beforehand and were very helpful. Thanks very much!

I’m going to Tokyo for a week, from August 4-11. Part of that will be a day trip to Hiroshima, a day trip to Kyoto, and a day trip to Mount Fuji. My guess is that Japan Wireless will be the way to go. I’m just going to take lots of photos, a few videos, and do some light texting. I’m pretty much going to be a tourist and actually look at and enjoy Japan. Great comparisons!

If i can chose to lose anything valuable, i will chose Japan to lose it in. Because whatever it is, it will always be found and retrievable. You can rest assured if you lose anything valuable in any other country or like in America, you never see it again. It has traveled into the abyss.

How do I reserve the hello kitty train

Thank you for your information! You helped me a lot!!

I'm so happy for your informative content and have been keeping up with your postings. We decided to do the Hokuriku Arch route per your recommendation and all accommodations are booked. BIG THANKS! Can't wait to visit the Japan summer heat in August and I need your expertise please. Which regional pass, JR pass, metro pass, etc. should me and my husband (2 people) use for our 12-day trip that gives us the best savings? Details: Evening arrival in *KIX arrival in Osaka (day 1) *Osaka area (day 2) *Travel from Osaka to Kyoto (day 3) *Kyoto area (day 4) *Travel from Kyoto to Kanazawa with day trip to Shirakawa-go (day 5) *Travel from Kanazawa to Toyama (day 6) *Travel from Toyama to Tateyama (Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route Ticket already booked including bus ride to Nagano) (day 7) *Travel from Nagano to Yudanaka (day 8) *Travel from Yudanaka to Tokyo (day 9) *Tokyo area (day 10 to 11) *Off to Narita airport for our flight out (day 12). I was thinking if Kansai Hokuriku Area 7 day pass then Tokyo wide pass for the remaining days is our best option. The Hokuriku Arch Pass using your link per my novice calculator says it's not giving us the savings. Thanks again for what you do...

I am flying into Osaka and just tried to download the ICOCA on my Iphone 12. Apple pay just refuses to load any money on so it did not work.

Got a digital ic card. Very convenient and easy to load. Just be careful because some areas have their specific ic card, just like in Nagano(kururu ic card). Suica doesn't not work on Nagano buses so buy a Kururu ic card or a one day pass that you can use on specific region.

The IC shortage makes all of this a crapshoot. I fear that when I land at Narita in September there will be no cards available to buy (and I have an Android phone). Then what??

If I’m going from Misawa to Hyogo, what would be the best train transportation?

Hi! When reserving a session at Hakone Gora Crafthouse on Jalan, it says I must have a japanese address. Is there anyway to get around that?

Thank you very much for the tips, they seem quite useful. However, I just downloaded both Passmo and Suico applications to my iPhone 13, unfortunately they all are in Japanese. I have no idea what they are saying....

Do you have video on DisneyLand?

I loved my pocket wifi when I was inJapan in Oct 23. I used mine for my tablet which allowed me to uses Google. since I don't uses my cell phone in Japan witch is a locked phone. It came in handy through out my trip.

Not only did your video answer many of my questions, but your update in the comments about finding my mobile suica number so I can add it to my SmartEx app was the cherry on top. Thank you!

I forget a Pokemon Gift bag in a ramen shop. While paying a woman brings me the bag. Thanks again

is there any difference between the suica and pasmo card? just incase i want to use a digital instead and i dont want to have trouble topping up

Thanks for this video. We have android, is turning off Data Roaming the equivalent of turning off Data Switching? Would it be better to just disable the home sim and leave the e-sim on for the duration of visit? Thank you.

While the special ICOCA card at Kansai looks great and would make a great souvenir, immigration and customs is VERY slow at Kansai from personal experience. 😅

I hear the Pasmo has more benefits such as linking train/bus passes to it, even digitally compared to Suica, is that right?

So grateful for your videos! We will be in Japan for 11 days in Oct with our 10 month old and 3 year old. First 3 or 4 nights in Tokyo then starting the arch. Our last night or two will be in Kyoto before flying out of Osaka. We really want to see Takayama, Shirakawago, Matsumoto, Knazawa, and possibly Toyama. How would you break up 5-6 nights at these locations? Second question is: is the Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass worth over the arch pass with our intended itinerary? Thanks for all your help!

Hi and thank you for your videos, they have helped me relax for my trip in a few days. However, I am staying long term for work and I notice your videos hardly ever touch on what to do if you are staying long term. So with this card, I will work in Chiba and travel to Tokyo often, which card is better? I am already lost. LOL! Thanks again for the tips.

I noticed this, when I'm on booking, I always do "no prepayment" or payment on arrival for the property I will be staying at in Japan.

I've personally left those cheap umbrellas many times: on the subway, at my hotel, at a shop, etc. My last trip to Japan, I lost them twice. Granted, they weren't expensive to replace. But as mentioned, I never EVER EVER leave items on the overhead rack on local subway trips. On the shinkansen? That's fine because as I prepare to get off the train, I don't check once, I don't check twice, I check THRICE. And then sometimes I checked a fourth time. You can NEVER be too sure. This is also why I usually never leave anything on the plane as well. When we wait to deplane, I constantly check if I have everything. One time flying to Osaka, I left my duffle bag at the airport because I was in a rush to make the train from Kansai to Umeda station. Only when I checked into my hotel did I remember I had LEFT my bag at the airport. I had a friend call the airport and they had determined they had my duffle bag and will be ready to pick up. I went to the airport the next day and had to page a storage fee or 1000 yen, AND I had to go through customs again because the bag was technically still out of the country. The agent obviously looked at me with a side eye because he knew I had left the bag at the airport and did a physical inspection. He then let me go. Never again!

Air tag ur valuable bags

Wait, did you just say, “travel full-time”? Wow 👏

Hi, I've been watching your videos and I find it very helpful in planning our first time trip to Japan. We plan to travel this coming September 2024. We'll fly from LAX to KIX then stay in Kyoto for 3 days, then 2 days in Osaka, 3 days in Tokyo and back to Osaka. I would like to ask your opinion if our itinerary sounds feasible. Thank you so much in advance and goodluck to your channel.

Great video. Thx for the guide. Have you guys tried Wise card? Seems to gather some popularity recently

Hello can you let me know the baby carrier brand? It looks very comfortable for baby. Im taking 1 year old to Japan. Thanks

Traveling with a whole family changes the circumstances and dynamics. Never had any of these issues when traveling solo or with a friend.

Hi Thanks so much for the videos. They are helping us a lot as we plan our upcoming trip to Japan. I just to know wether it is possible to marino wool clothes is Japan since we don’t live in the US. Thanks again.

Hi guys! Thank you very much for your super helpful content! I have a doubt concerning US dollar bills exchange in Japan and would like to check if you would know... I have some $100 US dollar bills from 1996 (big face type) that have never been used, so they are brand "new", although they are from an old series. Do you know if exchange agencies in Japan accept these kind of bills, of if they only accept the new type, or newer issued bills? Thank you for your attention!!

could it be that the code has not been received for several hours? how long has the support been responding?

Awesome video! Thank you! I still exchanged some usd to yen with wells fargo that way i have some cash when i land. I like to be prepared, especially since its my first trip outta the country

Hello! When you make purchases other than an ATM, do you always use a debit card instead of a credit card? Thank you.

I just found your channel. I enjoyed this video and will check out some more on your channel! Ive been watching japan travel videos for a while for my fall trip to Japan, first international trip and super excited. Im taking limited clothes and a collapsible duffle. Gotta bring back all the goodies 😊

Good informative video,, Thanks. May I know based on your experience for 12 days require how much data for eSIM ?

On my first trip to Japan, I left my bag with my traveler's cheques, money, camera, and passport on the train at Kyoto station. As I walked along the platform I heard someone yelling and running after me, holding my bag. It was a train worker who found it and saw that it matched my other bag, I will always remember him for that, It was my second day in Japan and it could have ruined my whole trip.

Thank you so much for all the information! My friend and I will be returning to Japan next year and were hoping to travel through 11 prefectures while we're there. When mentioning we can't cross different regions, would that include travelling from one prefecture to another? Would it then be recommended to buy seperate (physical) tickets to get from one prefecture to another and only using the IC cards for traveling to cities and sightseeing spots? Basically, how will I know if something is outside a region? ^^;;

I love seeing y'all's pictures from 20 years ago! Y'all are too cute! 🩵 My brother and I have been watching your videos for the past year to help plan our trip this summer! We love all the info! Keep it up!
