Ugh, and even when they have napkins they're tiny and glossy and don't absorb anything!
dept stalls close at 2000, rural areas stalls close at 1800
Last train. Everyone gets caught out on that. Tourist and locals alike.

The thing I hate about Japan is accidentally dropping a single coin on the ground . Instantly 50 people will materialize to point it out to make sure you don't lose that 1 yen purchasing power.
Edit: I'm surprised that 1 ply toilet paper didn't make the list. I actually don't think 2 ply toilet paper exists in Japan.
Trying to think of anything else, but can’t. Ah… endless spoken instructions and rules before entering event spaces, I can do without those.
hmmm,… people eating on the street is disgusting to me (>_<) … at the very least they should use tenugui or handkerchief (I think most men I know always carry one). For hand dryers, the same solutions, tenugui and handkerchief, especially for park restrooms. I will avoid the last trains because of all the vomit on the train station platforms. It will be interesting to know what you hate about Japan in general (^_^) … anyway, to me, suburban buses in my neighborhood are consistently late ….. (ah! please excuse me! … a quick " p.s. " … I can't believe you have a hi-no-maru flag … why ?! (^_^) )
01:35 – If you don’t mind throwing away about ¥1500 everytime you go to Japan, just go to a ニトリ and buy yourself a pillow. When I was living in Japan last year and took my 2 week winter trip to Osaka, the Airbnb I was in had the absolute worse pillow ever, so I ended up finding a ¥1200 memory foam pillow that I’m still using now.
I just came back 3 weeks ago but didn’t take my pillow, so I just ended up buying another memory foam pillow and just accepted the fact that I’ll be giving ニトリ about ¥1500 everytime I go to Japan 🤣🤣
Aren’t most of those hates the reason that we keep coming back, because it’s different than our normal life? There are ways around everyone of them. Squat toilets are the best, and better than just a whole in the ground. Another great video Nathan ❤
Ah the joys of squat toilets. Especially if you get a slight case traveler's diarrhea. Wonderful way to spend a half an hour cleaning up a shitty situation or so I've heard.
Things I hate so far during my Japan vacation: No garbage cans, no benches, the thin toilet paper everywhere, no toilet brushes and that I have trouble to understand cashiers due to them wearing masks (muffled).
You nailed it Ninja 🐒 I agree 💯 with everything dood , my all-time biggest peev would have to be no bins !!!😅
i cannot take out the garbage when i stay in airbnb. it smells bad 😥
many coins hate you
Yeah, here now and i swear the napkins im getting are made of plastic 😅
Lack of benchs, my calves are killing me
Good list Nathan. All manageable though (unless you're put into a smoking room). The buckwheat pillows and rooms with no view dont bother me, because I'm always so exhausted after a 30000 step Japan day that I'm asleep before the head hits the pillow (after finishing the daily Travelark trip blog). Managing your coins is a Japan trip right of passage too. Also, I highly recommend Fushimi Inari late at night. We had it all to ourselves aside from the wild boars on our last trip.
Yaaa the opening and closing are hours are veeeerrryy annoying but its alrightyyyy and yaaa the last train most of the time I was a bit scared that I miss the last train that i took 1 or 2 trains earlier that im save
Great video Nathan! Taxis are expensive in Japan, but I appreciate that they can’t refuse customers because they don’t want to go where you want. I’ve experienced that many times in China and South Korea. You’re always guaranteed to get a ride from a Japan taxi driver once they pull over and stop.
This reminds me I still have no idea what to do with my bag full of Japanese coins from my recent trip.
I'm in the other camp on Japanese pillows. I generally like the buckwheat-filled pillows, but I know that they're not for everyone.
One thing not mentioned on your list that I'm a bit disappointed by — I don't HATE it — is hotel clothes dryers. Except on rare occasion, most of these dryers take a very long time to dry our clothes and can only handle very small loads of laundry. Perhaps there's a reason for the lower drying temperatures than I'm accustomed to, but it would be so much more convenient if we could dry our clothes quickly. In general, we do try to choose hotels that have on-site laundry facilities because it allows us to pack less clothes, so this is important to us. Thanks for your interesting video!
P.S. You covered squat toilets well enough, and I don't think that anyone will disagree with you on this being #1 on the list.
Drinks are so cheap in 7/11s but go to a bar and your paying over 5 times the price
Squat toilets are the worst
Finding coffee hasn't been a problem for me since BOSS coffee from the vending machines is so good! Breakfast in general has been a bit difficult for me to find reliably. There are plenty of gyudon places open early, and cafes scattered here and there, but I've been struggling to find lighter stuff that's easier to stomach in the morning. I've been getting by with cobini onigiri, but I wish I could find places that serve up stuff like what Miwa makes!
Coins 😂..I'm at a vending machine now …using Pasmo 👀
Just recently got back from my first trip to Japan. Usually at the end of the day when I got back to my hotel I was so tired I didn't care about the pillows but agree that they could be softer. I didn't find the taxis to be too expensive but I usually used them for short trips where to the walk from the station to the place I wanted to go was going to be over 10 minutes or so. And yes, the coin issue is real. I did find that if you use a bunch of small currency coins at a combini the cashier will get impatient and lift up the cover so you can dump your handful of coins in and let the machine sort it out. You'll still get a few coins back and it isn't the most polite way to get rid of a bunch of coins but it works.
