In case Steph doesn't make a video, here are a few tips from someone who has gone to Japan several times! Pocket wifi, google maps and google translate. Google translate isn't always the best, but if it gives you the option to take pictures of things like menus or signs and will give u translation. This app helps a lot with restaurants that don't have English menus, but a lot of them will! All you have to do is ask. There are a lot of officers around Japan in certain areas and always lots of people working at the train or subway stations, so whenever I had trouble finding a place through Google Maps, I would ask them. Many of them speak no English, but if you just name the place or show them where you want to go to, they will give you directions. Learning basic phrases and always having google translate on you to show Japanese people what you are trying to say is always very helpful too. There are lots of apps too like Travel Japan Wifi and TOEI Bus and Subway apps that make traveling in Japan super easy. All the ticket machines I've been to in Tokyo and Osaka and Kyoto have had an English option on them, so that helps also! In terms of where to stay, use Airbnb! or you can always grab a hotel if you're not on a tight budget. You have to keep in mind, Japan is a rather quiet country, so if you're staying at an Airbnb aka someone's home, then you need to be careful not too be too loud or you can face the possibility of getting kicked out by the apartment management lol. Honestly though, Airbnb and a pocket wifi are your best friend. Many Airbnb's in Japan will provide you with a pocket wifi too, so it is always a good idea to get an airbnb. A pocket wifi is a portable wifi device, so you can use it in the home and while you're out exploring!
