MYSOS anfd Vist Japan apps work great, i used them when i went in October and had no problems.
My family and I are headed to Japan next week, and we are so excited! Iโve been watching your past videos to help prepare for this trip, and I was so happy after seeing you post this new video for even more tips. Itโs extremely helpful ๐
Not until COVID rules are removed.
I arrived in Japan on Monday 7th November , I used both apps . I was through customs in 30 minutes , I was expedited because of them . Longest wait was for luggage .
For any future question I'll look in this channel.
Thanks for your videos i really do appreciate what you are sharing with us, also can't wait to receive and read " โYour Guide to Japanโ Travel Guide Book" really looking forward to it
Really agree with everything you said, a couple of times I thought "yes, butโฆ" then you just said what I was thinking. I am planning a longer trip for next year, ticket not purchased yet, I just know I want to be there in mid March for an event.
U think in may 2023 will be different with Covid testing
I thought the most popular question would be if and when you are planning to go back to Japan.
First found your channel a couple years ago when I first planned a trip to Japan. It unfortunately had to be cancelled multiple times (even before current events) but I'm finally visiting in just 2 days!! Thanks a lot for all the information you provided over the years!! ๐
Gonna be living in tokyo from April for studies and your videos have been very helpful so far. Love from Bangladesh!!
Japan is not a place to book hotels when you arrive. Domestic tourists plan a head and book hotels out in advance.
For face masks, I think what's new is that in certain restaurants you're given a ใใในใฏใใฑใใใ, " mask pocket ",… a kind of folded piece of paper to hold your mask while you're eating. There are also, in some hotels and restaurants, temperature checking of customers.
Your videos have been so helpful for planning my upcoming trip! Iโm going to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto for 3 weeks during cherry blossom season. Any tips on avoiding crowds?
So Much Wonderful information , Thank You so much. So Glad to hear your going back in the spring. I'm going in May ,. so Excited .
Two non-stop, round trip tickets from Michigan to Haneda around Christmas time $5700 ๐ฎ
Can you still transfer credit card points to virgin and then to ANA in order to book flights? Also can you do a video about booking a business class flight through points ?
Thanks Amy , lots of useful tips again..great ! We are going inthe Sakura/golden week period . We have used the Takkyubin service a few times, it works great. saves a lot of suitcase hassles

Thanks for lots of useful information. Looking forward to my trip in May next year ๐
