5 things that SURPRISED us about Japan! [Tokyo Ginza, teamLab]



Since this was our FIRST time to Japan, we wanted to share 5 things that surprised us about Japan! We recorded this in Tokyo, mainly in the Ginza area, where we visited teamLab Planets (incredible!) and met a very creative artist, Zero Gravity, at the top floor of the Ginza Sony Flagship store. Only in Tokyo would a chance meeting like this happen! Don’t miss the bonus thing that surprised us about Japan.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!

    いつも楽しい動画ありがとう。まとめられたことほもう日本旅行は終わりですか、寂しいですね。❤

    I am shocked that neither of these made your top 5 Hands down my top 2 is 1 that with so many people in Tokyo they get away with cutting of public transportation at 1AM and have NO 24/7 service. ##2 is that ALL ATM Machines are locked from12AM until 4AM daily. Excellent video and job.

    You can exchange the coin changes in some 7/11, there’s a machine especially converting coins to paper money

    ご夫妻は、正しく【不思議の国(日本)のアリス】状態。私たち　日本人　にとっては、銀座なんかは　当たり前のところ　なんですがね。確かに【チームラボ】は、幻想的で面白い場所ですが。要するに、日本人は恵まれ過ぎて、その良さが分からなくなっていますね。但し、私は、最先端の日本より、歴史の重厚さのあるヨーロッパに感動しますが。

    たしかに、ここ数年お店やコンビニ、スーパーなどで現金以外の決済が増えてきましたが、屋台や個人店ではまだ現金が主流ですかね。👀

    Suicaは駅の切符を買う以外にも、バス🚌、コンビニ、飲食店、自動販売機、スーパー、ドラッグストアなどでも使えますよ。小銭を持ちたくないならSuicaにお金をいれるのがいいですね。

    りんごは主に青森、長野、岩手が生産してますからね🍎
    酸味と甘味のバランスがとれたサンフジがすきです😊

    もう次の旅にでていますかね？
    機会があったらまた日本にきてください♪😊

    Excellent video! I live in Kansai so I was happy to see what you shared! The food is amazing in Japan, even at the convenience stores! Pretty cheap prices and amazingly fresh! Also, it is very clean here, no garbage on the streets, also, no garbage cans except at train stations, so carry your trash all day with you, then recycle it on the train platform! My relatives who came to visit us said they were surprised that cash was used so much, and their credit card did not work, so not so many options for elec. payments. Yea, this is still true. Thanks for your video!

    Thank you for visiting our beautiful country.
    Next time please spend sometimes in North. Tohoku or Hokkaido. I personally strongly recommend North-East of Hokkaido. it might be a road trip…
    And don't worry about school kids, they will deracinate soon. Because Japanese birth rate is pretty low.

    いつも楽しく見ています
    確かに日本人は公共の電車やバスでぐっすり眠りますね🤣
    人を警戒することなく眠れるのは世界を旅しても日本と一部の国くらいです!

    I noticed that Heather became more and more beautiful during her stay in Japan. Of course, Bill also became cooler.

    Fun and interesting vlog🎉🎉, next time when you are in japan, put money in your train card for shopping, many shops accept it

    Hi folks. I have now been through the Peace Museum in Hiroshima. The story's of the children demise where very touching. And being able to put a face to the child brings it home. So sad. With them being in the museum they should not be forgotten…as you are only truly gone when no-one remembers you. If we could only turn back time. I'm gonna spend the rest of the day wandering the streets, as tomorrow I am heading for Kyoto. 3 full days before heading to Tokyo for the last 3 days or so before heading home. I know I will miss being here. Chances of me returning is very very small. Money situ will never allow this kind of trip again. I was told in a fortune at a shine I will get a proposal. I hope it is from a beautiful Japanese lady… As they have captured my heart. The idea of returning home to my grey miserable life in Scotland feels me with despair. sigh.
