Seven tips, but there's still so much more you can do right after your arrival. Right after publishing this video another one came to my mind: Activate your JR pass.
What else is missing on the list?
I'm most likely never coming to japan…but I still like all of your video's. Greetings from South America .
Planning to visit Japan next year. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the info on wifi. I have always used the same service and been overpaying..
I'm super curious about the health care system for foreigners who live in Japan. It would be awesome if you can do a short video on that!
Ich würde gerne ein Jahr lang work and Travel in Japan machen und ich wollte fragen ob 5.000€ reichen um dort ein Jahr lang auszukommen, wenn ich in Japan ein Nebenjob habe.
hey can u help me where i can get Application form of eligibility? from where i can download it and submit to my local embassy
Alter, endlich habe ich mal einen deutschen Kollegen gefunden der anderen etwas über Japan zeigt. Und mal richtig geil und nicht immer dieser typische Touri-shit. Abo und like Save. Arigato gozaimasu
Awesome tips!! Thank you!
Thank you for addressing where to get money exchanged and where is the best rate. The banks in my country keep on trying to convince me it's better to get it in my home country
Can you show us from a visitors perspective how to use the metro/subway system in Tokyo. Also will the luggage handling company help with moving your luggage near your Airbnb. At least to figure out where is the best hotel to drop off at if not closer to the Airbnb. And how about the other way, going back to airport. The Tokyo shuttle from Narita to Tokyo station is 900¥. What do you think? I know I have a lot of questions but thanks in advance for any help.
Another question is if we have a Pasmo/Suica card, can we get our deposit back at the airport before we get back on the plane? Or what is the best way to handle getting the deposit back?
That is so true about Kansai. They stand on the right side of the escalators.
At 3am i was planning on going for a jog, not turn around and sleep some more!!!
love the video amigo!! fierro!!
i just do 2 , 3 ,4 ,5 and 6 after arrive at haneda airport but for 6 at 3rd day after my dad tell me why use coin just get the card . he knew bcz he live for 2 years . if it's not about language barrier or my dad accept when i was 4 years old maybe i will live japan sadly not 🙁 . rly want to life there but language is problem for me
good advices ^^
Thanks for the tips! Had been to Japan recently. It's such a beautiful place. Also having a Japan Rail Pass is a blessing for those who intend to visit many cities in Japan.
Great video! I 'm also traveling from Germany to Tokyo in 2 months and I was wondering (a million things but mostly) 4 things:
1) I speak 0 japanese, on a scale of 1-10 how hard will my week be in Tokyo?
2)I dont have a credit card, so I need to get 1 and I was wondering if you have any suggestions? DKB requires a proper account, N26 has had some trouble in the past in japan, so…?
3+4) Should I spend the whole week in Tokyo or try to travel to other places nearby AND if so, is the rail-pass worth it?
Thanks again for all the information!
Ich werde nach Japan näschte Monat besuchen! Ich bin so Glücklich!!!
Some great and useful tips, thank you!
Brother can you help me with some documentation that I can use to come to Japan?
Can you help me with tourist voucher?
