His Japan Trip Was Good – Here’s How I Made It Spectacular

His Japan Trip Was Good – Here’s How I Made It Spectacular

You know what’s worse than not having enough time in Japan? Having a whole month but wasting half of it because you didn’t plan smart. I’ve planned tons of trips for people who go to Japan. I always get asked, “How do you avoid making a mistake and how you avoid this happening on your trip?” Well, today I’m going to use Luke’s itinerary to show you some insider thoughts and ways that someone who’s been going to Japan for 20 years thinks about when they’re planning a trip. Luke is actually a subscriber on my email list who’s taking his dream trip to Japan in February for 30 days. Before we dive in, I’ve created a free Japan travel guide with all my insider tips after 20 years of exploring the country. And the links in the description. So, hey Luke, I finally got a chance to take a look at this email, like I said, and I think as I started doing this, I was kind of like, well, I think there’s some other tips and things that I could get into that might be helpful. So, yeah, man. I’m I’m excited that you’re going to be going to Japan in February with your wife. February is a great time to go to Japan. It’s sort of the offseason. There’s a lot of stuff you won’t have to worry about. So, and then Yeah. And I know you didn’t plan the rest of your trip, but I know you said you’re planning on going down in into Tokyo and some of the other main regions of Japan, but yeah, I’m going to start with what you have right here. So, first thing is the Saporo Snow Festival. Again, you’re going in February, so I’m assuming you did this research. I believe it’s 7 days. So, but again, you don’t know. The best thing to do is sometimes just, you know, search like if you don’t remember stuff. So, just give you a quick rundown. There’s three sort of main areas. Odori, Suzukino, and Sud. I’m assuming that you’re flying into Hokkaido. Um, I don’t know exactly where in the world you’re flying from, but that’s my assumption is you’re going to be flying into Hokkaido. I don’t know if you’ve sort of planned to do other things around Saporto, but I think each of these sort of takes like a one takes like 2 and 1/2 hours, one’s like an hour and a half. So, I’d say try to find some other things to do outside of that. I don’t know if you’re planning on doing the whole the festival for 7 days. Something to think about. But normally what I would do in sort of a little hack when you’re trying to find stuff to do in Japan, of course, you could do things to do in Sapuro, right? But if you do speak a little Japanese, which it sounds like you do, you could do soap os means kind of like recommended spots. And so sometimes I like to search this in Japanese because it’ll give you sort of an idea of what Japanese people think are cool things to do in a particular city or area. And a lot of times, you know, again, if you’re trying to avoid some of the larger crowds, things like that, you can sometimes find some gems that a person that maybe isn’t Japanese wouldn’t necessarily find, right? So places that are full of sort of appeal in Sapuro and it’s like ranked from the best 16. So you have the clock tower. I believe this is yeah the garden. One of the things I’ll also show you quick hack is sometimes if this is too much Japanese you can right click translate to English like if you use Chrome. So Oldi Park which is where one of the one of the displays will be for the snow festival. I think all the displays are illuminated until about 10 p.m. But see with the right click, you know, you get some of the extra locations that that might be difficult to read if you don’t speak any Japanese or and you can see there’s a bunch of these and then you know, you can kind of look kind of look at that. But one of the other major things too that you want to think about as you’re traveling is how much time does it take on trains? Cuz even though you have 30 days, right, very quickly, I think you’ll see that you can spend a lot of times on trains if you don’t break it up well. And sometimes the pacing can get too fast or sometimes it can get maybe too slow. Typically, I don’t I don’t I’ve not run into people who felt like they they took it too slow. It’s usually the opposite. They did too much. They wish they would have spaced out their train rides a bit more. So, and this has actually gotten a lot better, I believe. Saporto. Not going to take too much time. So, you get a quick Google map that shows you how to drive, right? But normally the secret here is to put in train. And if you do Sapoor to Obihito train, it’ll give you a bunch of different different train times in English. And if you click on it, it’s kind of nice. It’ll show you the stops. It shows you the platform platform 6. I think this is displayed by cluke. But when I typically search stuff in Japan, I like to use either e either na time or ecitan. Some people use Google. I feel like I don’t like Google’s interface for trainings in Japan. I think nav time and ekitan give you more information. But you could do saproto or nav time. You can also search this in Japanese. And you can see the kanji and stuff like that. But again, most of the signage will they’ll also have English below it. It also gives you it gives you the platform. Sometimes it the arrival platform, the departure platform. Again, similar to the other number of stops, of course, it’s in yen. One of the things I would also do in Obi-H is what I showed you again. So, I’ll do that really quick. So, if you click this, same kind of deal, right? Um, it’ll show you what some Japanese people, what Yahoo Japan, travel Yahoo, thinks are some of the best places to visit in Oro. Oh, yeah. There you go. I think that’s what you were talking about, the B the Bonnet horse stables. So, the idea I think too is as you’re as you’re building this out, it seems like again for this area, you already have some things that you want to do, but think about as you’re in those locations, okay? And again, this is more a more rural area. So, I think there’s going to be there’s not as much sprawl as in some of the bigger cities, let’s say. So, another thing that I like to do is I like to have a map up. So, I don’t necessarily like to use like some map Kaido. All right. So, here you go. I like to pull up Google Maps. Again, I don’t necessarily love it for train stuff. It’s good to see just visualize how far a place is from another place. So you’re going to be going from I think when with uh nobody betsu because it’s a bit more known I guess they typically should be a bit more accommodating. One of the things you always want to think about when you’re in Japan is tattoos especially when you’re doing onsen not not so much when you’re out just out and about like that’s people have tattoos right but in specifically onsen because it’s I think a little more known. It’s it’s like one of Hokkai it’s Hokkaido’s famous like onen town from what I I think. Yep. So they’re known to be tattoo friendly. There’s there’s dichi takoto motok. But sometimes how you avoid this is you you get a private bath. That way if you if you if you have your own private bath, a you can be with your wife in the private bath. If you have a bunch of tattoos or she has a bunch of tattoos, then you don’t have to worry about it. So just something to think about. Sometimes there’s these weird rules where I remember when I was with my cousin once like in our group only one person could have tattoos and it was three guys that were going in, four guys that was going going in and if more than one person had tattoos then it was a no. There’s all sorts of things like that. Um, so either find something that’s tattoo friendly, or splurge for something that also has its own private bath. Why not? You’re going to be enjoying it. So, next thing you’re going to be going on the Hakodate Morning Market, which is a it’s a good flow cuz I mean, you’re going to be going across to go back. Just an idea. You could fly in start. I don’t know what day you’re depend what day you’re planning on flying in. You could start over here and come back this way. So, come back into Sapuro, then go down to Nobodyu, and then go down to Hakodate. Just depends like, so again, the logistics, right? I’m just assuming you’re flying into Hokkaido airport. You could just go straight from here to Obi-Ho, right? So, some train options there. Start in Obi-H. I think again, just like I said earlier, just logistically planning some things. I think it’s always good to kind of go in a particular direction as opposed to like you go here, you hang out in Saporto, you go to Obihito, you come down like you’re kind of going back and forth. I don’t know how which what exactly what your plans are, but let’s keep rolling though. You wear in Noetsu. You’re going down uh right? You going to try some of those lucky puro burgers. So yeah, coming down to Hakodate. Going to check out the the market. Let me give you an example. So this is some of the best restaurants. Jadan is a popular ranking. It’s like one of the popular popular ranking food aggregate places in um Japan. So this is Lucky. Yeah. Lucky Perio Bay Area store. Yeah. Hakodate Morning Market. Look what you have again. More Lucky Periio. Lobster Bay. Looks like a dessert shop. Like a pregnant. Yeah. If you’re looking for certain places to go, there’s a place that does unoni. I don’t know if you like sea urchin, but again, think about things that you you’d like to do or things that you’d like to try and try to sort of maximize that. The next thing is this train that you’re talking about. So, this is Saniku, right? So, I think Saniku. So, exactly the Sanuasi line which you were talking about goes from Kuji all the way down my station. When you come in from Hakuate, you could stop in there’s a Shinkansen line. So, the Hokkaido Shinkansen, right? You could take that into Amori. And so Almorti might be a good place to stop because I know you mentioned you were looking for uh like you guys like food and you’re willing to try different types of food and stop in places if that’s an option. So Alorti is actually known for its production of apples. I think it produces a lot of the apples in Japan. So there’s like different types of apple flavored snacks like sweets and desserts and that kind of thing. Alorti also has really fresh seafood. And so yeah, going to Alo Morti um in February you could try some really some really really good cuisine. Um some really good stuff. It’s also a nice way to sort of break it up. So because if you were to go from Hakodate right to Kuji City, you’re talking again this says Google says 5 hours 6 minutes. There might be a faster route on Navi time but you’re probably looking at somewhere between four anywhere between four and 5 hours but if you were to stop at Ali you’re looking at anywhere from like twoish 2 and a halfish hours maybe about 3 hours 3 hours to 3 and 1/2 hours. So just a nice way to break it up. I don’t know what your plan is but you’ll also be in Iwattate which is where Kuji City and Mako city are located. Iwattate is actually known for again seafood. Lots of different seafood in this area, but also wanko soba, like these types of uh soba noodles that you you eat. Maybe a fun thing to do, unique thing that you can do inattate. Moving on. Again, you have another onsen here. I’m sensing a theme. Um again, think about the thing about onsen tattoo friendly. Think about that kind of stuff. Ginsang onen is actually my city probably. I don’t know if you’re planning on staying there, but down to Ginsang onen, which I believe is in Yamagata. Yamagata is known for I believe it’s cherry production and then I think also different type of like red bean paste. Just thinking about some food things, right? So um I think oh Yamagata is also believe known for sake. So if you’re into Yamagata. Yeah. So if you’re into sake that’s something else you can try while you’re there. Then again you have another onsen. So in my mind right and this is just it depends like if zhaen and skiing is something you really want to do you can. It works in the flow right down here I believe. Ivia. It’s also in Yamagata. I would say maybe you could do something like Isizu Akamatu, which I think I mentioned in another vid in another video, which is in Fukushima Prefecture. Again, you could be all on send out. Again, I don’t know how big important skiing is to you, but Aizu Lakamatsu is cool because it’s actually it’s not a place that people get to go to often. Fukushima is also known for the uh it’s kitakata ramen, and it’s like one of the three great ramens in Japan. I love ramen, so I would be all about that. But yeah, in Aizu Wakamatu, it it’s actually dubbed the samurai city by their own tourism board. So Isizu Wakamatu also has Suduka Castle. It has a garden. It has like old samurai district. Again, I mentioned this in another video. Just a really cool city. And I think also something a little different from some of the onsens, but just just a thought. You see the pictures going by, right? And so then you’re going to be going down into into Tokyo. This is sort of where some of the extra planning and thinking about the flow of things comes into play. So right now I would say before you get into Tokyo right now you probably spent I’d say about you’re probably going to want to do 6 days in Hokkaido maybe like 7 days in the Tohoku area. So that’s already 13 nights. So like I was saying things sort of um start adding up pretty quickly. So like in terms of nights sort of how I think about Tokyo. I was actually having this conversation with somebody earlier is you can sort of do Tokyo in sections. I don’t know if you ever been to New York City. Um it’s sort of like that. Tokyo’s massive right? So, I like thinking about it like if you’re going to stay in an area, you pick one area. So, you could do let’s say Shinjuku because it’s one of the most known. And again, I’m not giving some niche ideas here just because I don’t have any specifics, I guess, of what you might want to see or do in Tokyo and some of these other places. A lot of the specifics were in Hokkaido and Tohoku, but you could stay in Shinjuku. You could even do something like I mentioned to somebody earlier on that I was talking to like Kagura, which is like a little separated from the city center itself. Then you could come in into the main Shinjuku station, JR station, right? Or you can go all the way to Shinjuku, go transfer to the subway and do get over to Shinjuku and Mai where the the imperial garden is during this time of year. Their plum blossoms that are there. So I mentioned to somebody else earlier, the cafe from if you ever seen the movie Kim Kawa, your name, that cafe is also over here. Then you could easily get into Shivuya, right? just further down here, but you can stop along the way and do majingu. Like if you did Harajuku, like Tequesta Street, I think as you might have seen in another video, I think is a little overrated. So if you’re going to go maybe like 10 15 minutes in my opinion, unless you really want to just be in the madness. It might not be as bad in February though to be honest. But check out Maji Jingu Shrine, take a walk through Yoy Yogi Park. Then like I said, you could check out Shibuya. So just think about it in like sort of sections. Like I said, if you really are like, “Hey, I want to see Oda and the Rainbow Bridge.” Sure. Right. Like you could come down to Oda, see Toyosu and Toyosu. You could do Team Lab planets if you wanted to. Just think about it like if you wanted to do Akihabara, right? You could do Akihabara and then you would do things that are close to Akihabara, right? So just kind of so that you’re not traveling across town and back across town. Just Akihabara is closer to Asaka where Sky Tree is and also Senoji Temple. And there’s a ton of temples. I don’t want to give it a number off the top of my head in in uh Tokyo. So, you don’t have to go to Senology necessarily, but if you want to see the Thundergate and it’s really cool to see at night, especially it kind of helps you avoid the crowds and stuff like that, you could do that. But again, just think think about it in terms of neighborhoods. I used to live actually out here closer to Katsushka, like the Yadachi area. There’s Nepoti, which is randomly has really good beer. I’m into beer, so I might have mentioned that, you know, beer again, but yeah, I would just say think about some of the things that you want to do. Um, if you’re I know you’re just going with your wife, but plan that. Plan plan around some of your own ideas, maybe a theme, maybe something that you guys both want to experience, and that’ll sort of help inform you maybe where you want to stay. And then kind of just try to take each day in sections. And so I maybe do three or four days in Tokyo. And so here’s where I think some of the magic can happen, I guess, because you have so much time. So, like I said, if you did six nights one in like Tohoku or Hokkaido and seven nights in the one of the other areas and then you do three or four nights in Tokyo, that puts you at around what’s that? Seven and six is 13 + 3 or four depending is either 16 nights or 17 nights. You can play with that. You could actually go from Tokyo up to for what you’re talking about at least having food to go off of. You could go up to Nagono. So, you could either do a night in Matsumoto, see Matsumoto, Joe, Matsumoto, the Black Crow, right? you you maybe Moto Castle. Matsumoto Joe is one of the 12 original castles in Japan. I hope to see all 12 one day, but yeah, a lot of people say it’s their favorite castle and then you can go up to Nagano, which you could do an onsen there if if you’ve itching to have another onsen. If you wanted to ski, you could actually do Hakuba. Um Hakuba, I believe, can also be a little crowded. And if you like you you have a another ski option potentially, but you got to be mindful of days, right? I think I imagine skiing takes more than just, you know, you’re going to want to do that for maybe two days, not just one. You could go to Udaka onen which again I think can be crowded just to see the the the snow monkeys but there’s ways to do it so that you I think don’t see as many crowds or as many people but Nagago is beautiful. So if you go to Nagono I think they’re known for like soba different you know different types of noodles as well and then you’re you’re in the Japanese Alps region which is cool. So then you could actually go down to Takayama Nagano right to Takayama which has the Sami Suji like the traditional street. It also known for uh its beef like takyama beef. Some of the places in I mentioned in Tohoku are also known for types of different types of beef. So you could try that. Takayyama, right? Takyama. If you’ve never looked into it, that’s what it looks like. Just flip through some pictures really quick. Right. And get something like this. Especially given the time of year that you’re going. You could go to Shiraakawagago, which has those thatch roof houses like those traditional. Again, you might see some snow just because of the time of year you’re going. It’s really pictures, really beautiful. They have sort of like mountain vegetables and food and soups and things like that that you can try like really hearty meals. You can stay when you stay in one of these you can sit around like the traditional Idi like the little fire place and experience sort of a different side of Japan. Again, more of like a mountain town kind of feel. Keep going. So then you could do a couple nights in Shiraakawagago. This is where you want to be careful about your nights, right? You can chew up a lot of time if you if you choose to do all of these. You can check out Kanazawa. Kanazawa has kenoku in which is um one of Japan’s great landscape gardens. Kanazawa has uh I believe also a bunch of fresh seafood that you can try. Kazawa also has gold leaf uh like they do gold shavings and they put in like ice cream and desserts. And so that’s something that’s famous in uh Kanazawa. And so if you do all of those, let’s say you did two nights, two nights, two nights, again you were at let’s say 16 nights, that was four nights, so you’re at like 20 nights remaining. This is maybe where you want to pop down into Kyoto. Again, there’s a bunch of different ways you could do it. Yeah, you could go into Fukui, right, which is a place that not a lot of people get to go. Similar to Kanazawa, it has a lot of different history. Want to get too bogged down, but I think this part of your trip, you probably want to get into Kyoto since you you know, if it’s a first trip, it’s a dream trip, I do think you should see Kyoto. There are a ton of temples in Kyoto. It can it can get crowded. Again, you’re going in February, so it’s not too crazy, but I try to think about Kyoto in sections as well. Similar to what I was talking about with Tokyo, you can either choose to stay near Kyto Station. You could either uh stay near uh Nij Castle up here like northwest Kyoto. Um you could stay in southeast which is closer to Gon and like the which is the Geisha district. Again I don’t know how into temples you are. When I went with some of my friends they immediately got templed out. So it’s just being mindful of how much of that you want to see. Some people feel like if they’ve seen one temple they seen them they’ve seen them all. So you could sort of just use Kyoto as a base. You could spend as much time in Kyoto or as little time in Kyoto as you want. You could go down to Muko City which I mentioned in another video. is like kind of Arashyama where they have their own bamboo forest but they do like illuminations and it’s really pretty and not a lot of people get to go to it. You could do Uji which is uh known for like its matcha and stuff like that. You could use Kyoto as a base for day trips, right? So if you want to stay in Kyoto a couple nights, three, four nights, then you could do if you’re like, “Hey, I want to see something different.” Then you could do a day trip into Osaka, stay try the street food, have a great time, get back to Kyoto, stay in Kyoto. You could do a night in Osaka. So you could go from Kyoto, stay in Osaka, do a night in Osaka, and then uh move on. You can go into Coobe. Coobe is known for um again it’s it’s beef. Wagyu, which just means you Japanese beef. It’s also known for jazz. Really pretty. Sits on a port. Again, sort of all these are in one area. But again, you got to be mindful of nights. So if you spent all those extra nights in the Alps region, you know, you’re probably at about 24ish or so nights if you’re going to be doing exactly 30 days. So that gives you only a handful of days left. If you had 765, so that was like 22 nights plus four nights in Kyoto. So now you had 27 nights. So you might only have about three nights left. So that would potentially limit how much you do. You may from here want to spend time in Kyoto. You might want to spend some time in Osaka. You could go down to Natada and not just see Toai. You can go to the south southern part of Nada. There’s some really cool things to see there. You have the the the option though. Also something to think about is most people fly into one city and out of the same city. You’re not probably going to fly back out of Hokkaido. It doesn’t make sense. You’d lose a lot of time. I wouldn’t recommend them coming this far if that was the idea. I’m assuming you’re probably buying a one-way flight into Hok Hokkaido and then probably a one-way flight out of somewhere else. So, typically people do into Tokyo out of Tokyo cuz you can buy both tickets. But because you haven’t done that, you can actually fly out of Kai airport. So, you don’t have to go back to Tokyo if you don’t want to. If you’re absolutely like, “Hey, I want to see more of Tokyo.” Then probably when you got about two nights left, you could head back to Tokyo. you can stay in a where you didn’t stay before. So let’s say you stayed close to Shinjuku Kushibuya. Now this go around you can stay closer to Asakasa. And so maybe you saved Asaka for your return trip and then you fly out of either Haneda or Narita. But again, you got 30 days, so you don’t have to do that. Um especially if you don’t have a roundtrip ticket in and out of Hokkaido. You’re buying a one-way ticket. Like I said, you can fly out of Kai airport. So you could even do something where like you maybe you cut out of those few nights. Maybe you don’t do Kanazawa. Maybe you do Takayama and you’re like, “Okay, I want to get into Kyoto sooner.” Which will give you more nights. So you do the same three or four nights in Kyoto. You still maybe do the day trip to Osaka. Maybe stop in Coobe or then do Himei. Then after you stay there, you could go down to Okyama, which is known for its denim. I think it’s also known for like white peaches. It’s really uh cool, really beautiful. Not a lot of people get to go to it. You could do Kurashiki, which is known for its It’s got a canal. It’s really beautiful. Looks different in the winter. Great food options. Let’s say you had 22 nights left, right? So again, this is going to be on you to sort of play with the nights. So what you could do is you could do Kyoto to Okama. So you can go all the way to Okama. Once you go to Okyama, you could do a couple nights in Okyama. Then you could do Kurashiki. Or you could do Okayama, do a day trip to Kurashiki, do another night in Okyama, then make your way back, stop in Himeiji, which has the one of the other 12 original castal castles. Himi Castle. It’s the exact opposite of Matsumoto Castle and its color scheme. Again, lots of people love Himei Coobe on the way back. stay in Osaka for a night or two fly out of Kansai airport. So again, the just just a few options. I don’t want to overwhelm you with stuff. You could either make your way down to if you did Okama, you could do Takamatu, you could come down. You have the nights to do it. It just depends on what you want to see along the way, what’s important to you. So that’s important to consider. Another option and I think something that could be really cool is let’s say you cut out most of the Alps and so after you finish in Nagagoya Matsumoto you come down in Nyoto you spend some time there you do your Osaka thing you see Himei great but then you could go up to actually Toto Prefecture and Totoi is awesome because Matsui is there. Matsui has another one of the original uh castles. I had a friend who lived in Totorii love Totoi in general. They also do snow crab during this time of year which is something not a lot of people get to experience. It has a lot of history, a lot of culture. So you could go to Matsu. Then after you do Matsule, you could come down. You could potentially even do depending on how many nights you shaved off of the Alps. You could even make it down to Hiroshima. Then you could come all the way back. So you could do Hiroshima. You could stop in Fukuyama. You could do Okayama again. Like I said, like I was mentioning, Kurashiki, see Himei if you want. You could have seen Himei on the way up or you could do it on the way back. Come back into Osaka. Maybe like let’s say you cut out Osaka and you just head straight this way, come back into Osaka, have that street food, spend that night there. If you had an extra night to play with, maybe go to Nada like I said, then fly out of Kai and back to wherever you live. So, lots of different options that sort of just really depend on the things that you you’d want to do. One of the big takeaways I would say is just logistics, time on trains. In your particular case, because you’re going to be there for 30 days, the Japan Rail Pass might actually make sense, especially because of how far you’re traveling. I know the price got jacked up a crazy amount. What was that last year? There’s also regional train passes. So, something to consider if you’re going to be in more remote areas. Even though you might, you know, do uh use your own phone plan. That’s typically what I do. There might be some more remote areas where it doesn’t work as well. So, because of the time that you’re going to be there, pocket Wi-Fi might actually make sense just so if you lose reception, you’re still connected to Wi-Fi and you can still do certain stuff or look things up. That’s sort of more the logistics. Luggage foring, which I didn’t mention. If you don’t want to carry all your stuff, I’d say two nights before maybe you move somewhere else, especially a place that you know you’re going to be for a couple of days, maybe pack a lighter overnight bag or a bag, you know, for 2 days or so and send your bigger luggage to the hotel where you’re going to be staying at where you’ll be sort of camped at and then you can pick your luggage up. So, yeah, just some things to think about. I think flow-wise, you could basically hit all of Japan theoretically. Not all of Japan cuz you’re probably not going to go down to Kumamoto and Kagoshima and stuff like that, but you’re going to get to see a lot of Japan, which is really amazing. Um, I hope to help you kind of think about how to frame your trip. Think about pacing, like I’ve said. Think about whether you want to go back to Tokyo. You could hit some areas that I didn’t even talk about, right? Like you could go to Nagagoya and try Misoku. Misoku is amazing. They renovated the castle and people really love it. Yeah, you could spend some more time in Shizuoka. Lots of different options, even if just really depending on what you what you want to see and what you what you like. Man, hopefully that helps and hopefully it gives you some stuff to think about. So, I know that was a bit of a long one. If you stuck with me, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. into Luke. Hopefully that makes sense and gives you a sort of flow that takes into account breaking up some long train rides, maximizing your time. I think this sort of structure will help give you a balance of seeing some incredible spots and also being able to really enjoy them. But again, what you make of it is up to you. But that’s not all that goes into making a good Japan trip. There’s also some unexpected challenges and cultural insights that I wish I would have known before my very first visit, and I think would have made everything a lot smoother. So, watch this next video to discover the things that most travelers learn the hard way and how you can avoid those types of mistakes. Your boy included.
