    Thanks Steve, Awesome video on Osaka, and the downloadable trip guide is super helpful. We’re planning to visit in early April

    Awesome video and we’re not even thinking of going to Japan. If we were, Osaka would be number two on our list after Tokyo. I’d (Scott) would like to see Japan again as I lived there for a couple years as a kid in the early 70s (yes, I’m old) 😁 Thanks for the video

    Im not sure what time I can figure out how to get to the right Shinkansen platform going to Tokyo from Kyoto. Do you think its a good idea for me to get a ticket on the day/time I decide to go? 🙂

    The Suica card (ou Pasmo) is individual? I mean, we, a family of 4, will be heading to Osaka in July, so we need to have 4 suica cards? or just one, passing four times in each trip in public transportation?

    PS – I've noticed a few of you have had issues with the PDF file, please note that the file is not IMMEDIATELY available after the signup page, I will personally EMAIL it to you within the day, unfortunately the automated function is not under the free subscription in Mailchimp so I have to manually do it (for now =))

    Thank you for your patience!

    Thank you so much! I'm going to Japan for the first time in a couple of months and your videos are just perfect. Love the mix of insights, passion and recommendations. Keep up the good stuff!

    Chanced upon your videos while researching for Korea trip and now I am back for Japan trip! 😊
    Very informative videos, thanks for making our research easier.
    Appreciate your effort! 💯 🎉

    For the teamLabs – A Cafe in the Field of the Can Can Factory, are there signs to point you where the entrance is? Since I tried checking it on Google Maps – but I only saw the garden from the outside and their parking.
