Traveling to Japan right now is sooooo annoying ππ
Actually when I left for the US in December, there was just a 14 day quarantine at home requirement, which I was fine with. Anyways. Then I got sick….and had to push my return back by two weeks…and Florida was added to the 3 day mandatory hotel quarantine list….and then the 6 day list a few days later….and then they reduced the total quarantine time from 14 to 10 days…! So a lot of good and bad! I’m just glad it’s a shorter time tbh, I can’t wait to get back into the city.
Super excited to get back into making videos for you guys π₯Ί

What Traveling to Japan is Like Now + My Quarantine Hotel
24 Comments
IβM FINALLY BACK IN JAPANNNN!!!
Also, because I know Iβll get questionsβ¦
1. No, Japan is not open to tourists currently and most new visa holders canβt get in right now either. Iβm a resident and have been since pre-illness time
2. I know my voice sounds awful itβs because I got no sleep the night before my flight ok Iβm not sick here π
3. There was a lot of paperwork stress beforehand regarding the test requirements, which I didnβt go into in this video because it was very hectic and I donβt want to relive it lmao. But you are required to get a very strict form filled out and take a specific (expensive, hard to find) test within 72 hours π
4. I didnβt take much footage at the airport in Japan because you werenβt allowed to in most places (Iβm not trying to immediately get deported lmao) and I was pushing around a heavy bag srry
5. I DONT KNOW WHEN JAPAN WILL REOPEN IM SORRYYYY HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR!!!!
I was just wondering, did you use a US credit card or do you have a Japanese credit card ? Thanks.
Ok so what happened after the hotel ? Did you have to hire a taxi to get to your apartment ?
So the moral of the story is……Don't travel outside of Japan unless you are ok with the entry procedures to get back into Japan. I will wait.
I'm really not looking forward cause I have a kid lol
Iβm supposed to go to Japan 2022-2023 as an exchange student. Is Japan refusing to give long term visas 2022?
nice
But there is wifi in your hotel room so you can connect using your phone, correct ?
i got into japanese grad school yesterday!! im stressed about accepting tho bc idk what the state of travel into the country for international students will look like in fall. if we cant go during fall, i just know im going to suffer academically and mentally π
What camera did you use to film this? I noticed that it looked a lot better than most vlog-style YouTube videos Iβve seen.
Thank you for documenting your experience! π
hi do they require you to have covid insurance?
Thank you for the video? Does anyone here know how much quarantine hotel costs for two weeks if someone isn't vaccinated?
This would be much appreciated π!
Happy to hear that you made it safely back to Tokyo, but the quarantine meals… Ouch! I don't know if I can survive thatπ Otsukaresama~
I hope you managed to keep your sanity post quarantine!
Great you made it back! Keep up the vids
Thank you for sharing this video. You're very lovely to watch. Though I need to ask
What bag did you use for this trip?
Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.
Hey allisonβ¦ Iβm going to Japan for studying next month (yes I got my Certificate of eligibility already). How much do we have to pay for the on arrival test and all the requirements? Thank you
Girrrrl wtf your hotel room was so much better than mine
Is this not a good time to visit Tokyo.. I have never been .. my nephew wants to go so bad he is 10 .. I thought of a trip for his summer break β¦
I'm so glad quarantine time is reduced now.
This might be a stupid question but did you have to pay for the quarantine hotel?

Fascinating!
