    Thank you for this vid — I got disoriented on at least 2 separate occasions at Tokyo Station almost a year ago (big lol at past-me), and your three initial questions here would’ve cleaned up my approaches greatly. So thank you for this thoughtful and well-done video; cheers and thanks 🎉🤟🙏

    あなたの感覚は、私と一緒です。
    私は、毎年正月に実家に帰省するために、北陸新幹線を利用するので、東京駅に一時間も早く到着します。
    その理由は、まず、お土産を買うこと。そして、駅弁を買うこと。そして、これが最大の目的である、散策です。散歩して、ウインドウショピングするのが楽しみ。さらに、師走の雰囲気も大好きです。みんなが、ほぼ同じ目的で、実家への帰省ですが、なかには、スキーとか温泉とかの目的です。家族団欒で楽しそうに、歩いています。それらを、見てるのが好きです。特に最近は、意識して日本風を演出した、飾り付けになっています。それの、無国籍ぶりが、70年代をおもわせるものになっています。好物です。

    Really useful video. I'm going to Japan in July and one of my biggest fears is finding the Tokaido Shinkansen from the South Side entrance. Many thanks! 😊

    It's important for tourists from overseas to understand that Japan's Shinkansen (bullet train) is designed for business travelers and short-term domestic tourists, and is different from trains like the TGV or Eurostar, which are designed for international travel.

    Tourists bringing large suitcases onto the Shinkansen or local trains are not welcome in Japan.

    Therefore, hotels and stations offer suitcase delivery services; for example, sending your suitcase from a hotel in Tokyo to a hotel in Kyoto costs around $20, so please take advantage of this service.

    A video on how to find your way around Shinjuku Station is much needed. Thank you for your hard work.
