Hi Meg, when I was in Japan I wasn't able to maximize the use of my 72 hr unli subway train ticket. I was just guessing if the subway exit/entry would accept or reject my tcket. I'm aware that they're only for Metro and Toei Lines but is there more easy way to tell? Thanku so much for your vids! 🥰

Another to add to the list if you are used to food served in courses, such as starters then main, or especially when ordering individual meals as a group. It was my experience at the sit-down restaurants we went to that food arrived "as it's cooked" rather than "everyone's meal at the same time." I ordered a sashimi dish and baked fish with broth, while the 2 others with me ordered steaks. Both my dishes arrived before the other dishes and I had plenty of time to eat. Something to keep in mind I suppose, that depending on where you eat (unless it is explicitly a course menu) you may want to consider your order as dishes to be shared and to order a bit of everything rather than "2 of us will have the same meal".

Many staff are not familiar with english and find it embarassing to make a mistake when trying to accomodate foreign tourists, so will instead not say anything and just politely serve in silence unless asked directly something they can give a correct answer to, or respond in japanese where they can but in simple form that may seem rude to the guest. The social rules in Japan are just different. In Australia i also worked in hospitality, and generally we bend over backwards to do literally anything we can to help someone, even when we can't speak the language. I have experienced the same in Japan sometimes as well, but it is rare and usually in the big cities where someone has had the chance to be around tourists more. I was offered to install a very good japanese to english translation app on my phone, nict, recommended by a shopkeeper that I found was the truest to what I wanted to say, but forgot that in english we sometimes say too much, so it gets overtranslated and confusing to explain. I even had a very kind woman assist me to use a taxi to get to a place when it did not work, and I was becoming anxious about time. This was in Kita-Kyushu, and it helped to save my honeymoon.

Superb video! Yes about carrying s small plastic bag and disposing trash contents at your hotel. It is not a difficulty and Japanese do this, disposing of at home. Don't litter. Don't go to Japan to just be another predatory, shallow "influencer." Learn about the culture and appreciate it. And be quiet on trains! It's a long way to fly with no preparedness or sense of the culture.

Flying into Narita may not be a mistake. That was a mistake on your part. Not getting an IC card is another mistake you made. If you do not ride the trains very much, it is cheaper to purchase tickets individually. Physical IC cards have a non refundable deposit, also some trains you cannot use an IC card.
@Gojo1911
Ай бұрын
I guess you didn’t really pay attention to the video. She clearly stated that a.) it takes longer to get from Narita to Tokyo, hence she recommends flying to Haneda, if you are short on time or want to get to the city as quickly as possible and b.) an IC card is better than single ride tickets, if you plan on using the trains frequently.

As a Japanese driver, I'd like to strongly request one thing: that is, to understand that the concept of "jaywalking" does not exist in Japan. In other words, many Japanese people live with the assumption that they should obey traffic signals even when there are no cars coming. Recently, with the dramatic increase in foreign tourists, there has been a significant rise in jaywalking, resulting in a much higher risk of traffic accidents than before. There have been incidents in Kawaguchiko Town that underscore the importance of avoiding this behavior. I would like this to be taken up.

I visited Japan with a tour group in 2017. The people are very polite and everything is so clean. In the restroom there are no hand dryers so need to take a small hand towel with you. Also a few small bags to put your trash in as there are no bins. Take your bags back to your accommodation. I recommend slip on shoes to wear as entering shrines, temples, castles etc. you have to keep on removing your shoes.
