Hi rion, my wife and I will be coming to Japan in a few weeks and are very excited from your videos… Would you consider a miyajima and Hiroshima day trip video? Let's keep walking!
Need more food or interested places example museums and parks less Shinkansen and metro
I always get a bit worried when I see Rion taking such massive mouthfuls of food. Sometimes it looks like it barely fits!
Hey Rion. Just to let you know that as of October 1st, all JR Rail Pass users can now use the Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen but those people need to buy an additional ticket which costs more or less depending on the distance (shortest distance costs an additional 2530 yen while the longest cost almost 10000 yen). Both old and new cost JR Rail pass users can use this feature. In my opinion it is not that worth it for most travelers (especially on the Tokaido side) but people that are in a hurry and willing to spend can pay more and use it
16:12 Iโm waiting for a video Rion says โWelcome back to Rionโs TV and till next time – Bye bye !โ sometimes around minute 38. ๐
I think I didn't quite understand the point about handing over my suitcase or paying for suitcases. If you pick up the JR Pass as a tourist when you arrive in Japan, you can simply travel on the JR trains without registering your suitcases, can you not?
Thank you๐๐๐
We were just in Namba station last week.Namba station is so so big with so many lines..We were very confused ๐ ๐ ๐
How many NOT Nozomi are going in between Tokyo and Osaka? I haven't seen any when you were heading to the tracks.
Country Mam is the best โค really you can buy icoca still ? Haha thats funny and a good information
Thank you again for this video. Looking forward to being in Tokyo again in exactly one weekโs time, and will definitely again enjoy a bentล on the balcony of the Yaesu side exit of Tลkyล station. Nice to see the weather is still pleasant. Also planning to take the Shinkansen to Kyoto. ๐ Btw, the Mount Fuji video was super interesting – particularly as I suspect I will never climb up there myself.
Thanks for the video and showing how busy the shinkansen is right now. I'm definitely reserving seats now because that is pretty crazy. We are also leaving Tokyo on a Friday night out of Shinagawa so reservations will be a must, it seems.
Hi Rion! Great video showing what Tokyo Station is like on a Friday night. That Okonomiyaki looks awesome! Weather is cooling down fast in your area. I think the second Osaka Mascot t-shirt is just for you! ๐ Dลmo arigatลgozaimasu. Gaoo!๐ฆ
I found your videos when I was traveling through Japan, and haven't stopped watching since! I feel like I never left Japan!
Itโs a fun street Haha! ๐๐๐ you da best Rion!
That Mascot for 2025, looks kind of like a mochi donut
the hiroshima style okonomiyaki looks like america's version of the chicago deep dish pizza vs new york style (osaka's okonomiyaki)
Hello Rion ๐๐ผ watching from the Philippines
Thanks Rion for the update ๐Visiting Osaka this Thursday! Blessed week ahead! ๐
soy latte tho! thats cool.

ใใใใจใ Rion-san for the information on the shinkansen! Iโm planning to visit Japan in November so iโll definitely be holding on to this video! Btw, will you be going to Halloween Horror Nights in USJ? ๐
Great video as always, Rion. And thanks for the Friday Shinkansen tip.
Thanks for introducing Myaku Myaku too. It's … ๐ Looks right out of a Lovecraft story.
After watching all of your videos & joining your live streams during the pandemic, I was so excited to finally see the places & eat the foods youโve introduced when I visited this past summer. ๐คฉ Unfortunately, some things have already changed, like the fancy apple juice vending machine in Tokyo Station, but I really enjoyed strolling through the Namba Parks Garden after eating at Kua Aina. Now, Iโm pleasantly surprised that there are still many new places & foods to try (i.e. Hoshino Coffee & Country Maโam). ๐ Canโt wait to feel the Osaka Spirit when I return for the World Expo & wear that Myaku Myaku T-shirt! ๐โจ (1st version, not 2nd ๐)
Youโre awesome Rion!
โค
terrific
The discounted tickets seem like a pretty good deal if you have some extra time and know how to get around the station, buuuuuut I think when I eventually visit Japan, I wonโt use it though. Iโd pay 500ยฅ to not get confused and lost in a train station with only N3 level Japanese lol ๐
Thank you for the updates Rion! The travel updates about the trains and Shinkansen really help. That's my biggest worry for my trip. I'm not good with direction and worried I'm going to get lost or not make a reservation when I need to, so these help a lot. ๐ T minus 2 weeks! I'm currently working on cramming all my stuff into a small enough case where I won't have to make a reservation on the train lol.
Let's keep walking!
Also glad your mic still works ok after dropping!
Not worth saving $5.
๐
so used to rion speaking english so it feels a little weird to hear you speak japanese, does it make sense? ๐๐ anyways love the japanese vocabulary mini lessons, keep them coming. looking forward to west japan adventures. letโs keep travelling ๐๐๐๐๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
video liked even before watching ๐๐๐๐
I thought the luggage rule has been in place since May 2020. Don't think it is a new regulation. Also JR pass is no longer worthy after the 70% price hike for the majority.
What a coincidence I went to Osaka this weekend too lol
Not sure I understand. So, if you purchase the Shinkansen ticket from that discount ticket store, the date is another day, so you have to go to the JR Ticket desk to reissue a ticket with a date for the day you're traveling on the Shinkansen? Is that why the tickets are discounted? If I totally misunderstood, please explain the part about changing the date. Thank you.
4:02 1350JPY 5 flavors of cupcake ๐๐, 4:18 259JPY rice cracker ๐๐, I donโt know why I love every food in Japan so much ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐. 6:31 ๐ซกnoted๐. Give me discount tickets to save 570JPY, and you can buy a lot of meccha oishiii snacks๐คจ๐, just do it ! 8:21 Rion talks as Mickey Mouse, so similar ๐๐๐! 11:45 Wow! Michelin awarded Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, with many yakisoba noodles and green onions, so delicious ๐. 20:35 Night view of the city under many lights, beautiful๐๐๏ธ. 22:30 The souvenirs at Shin Osaka Station are so attractive, I will definitely buy this Takoyaki cookie๐คจ๐๐. 24:52 ๐ฏI want to buy Myaku-Myaku t-shirt, itโs so cute๐๐. 33:34 Parks Garden is being renovated, it will be very beautiful then, looking forward to it ๐๐. 37:49 aiya! this guy looks like a hedgehog๐ฆ๐. I hope this hedgehog is intact and can cooperate with Rion letโs keep walking.
Thank you so much Rion for giving all the information from Tokyo Station to Shin-Osaka Station, it was very detailed๐ค.
โคArigaoRion for Japanese lesson.

Great video, we just subscribed to you, we've been in Japan for 3 months and recorded several videos but we will be back for sure, maybe we can meet next time, take care!
Because of the recent update to the JR Pass going up astronomically, Iโd say itโs probably not worth buying anymore. Itโs so expensive now ๐ฅบ
PLEASE, please do a video with Yuka Chan the lovely rickshaw girl. You 2 would be great together! ๐๐
