I-ra-ssha-i-ma-se is used from store personnel to greet customers as they come in only. You don't need to reply back. Smile is ok. Before 10am, you would say o-ha-you go-za-i-ma-su (good morning). Konnichiwa is use to say hello and use after 10am. After 6pm, you would say kon-ban-wa (good evening).

Travel tip from someone with food allergies. There are Japanese allergy cards you can find online and print out. At the restaurants, go to a worker or get the attention of a worker and ask "yonde kudasai" (please read), and hand your allergy card over. Point to the menu item u want and ask "ok?." This worked really well for me. They would tell u which items contain things ur allergic to, or let u know its ok (either in japanese woth gestures, rough english, or using google translate).

Loved how you are so culturally sensitive and not acting like you can't be bothered with the local customs and norms. You didn't just learn some local important phrases in a curt fashion but also the most respectful way to use them. It's those little things that create the most intimate connection with the locals...anywhere we travle in the world. Love your video and will follow you more! Excited for our first trip to Japan in July. Arigatou Gozaimas!

Careful though with the Japan Rail Pass; it had a 70% price increase in October of 2023 and in the majority of cases it is now way more convenient money wise to simply buy individual train tickets for your trip

I just got back. I don't know what she's talking about with physically mailing rail pass stuff. The process for purchase is 100% electronic. Also does not pay for itself unless you change cities every day. I did buy one. It was not worth the expense. I would not buy it again. Not worth having a 50000 Y/$340 slip of paper you may lose during the trip. See comparisons out there and do a comparison... the JR pass USED TO BE A GOOD VALUE. It is not the case anymore. It looks like she filmed that segment before the 2023 changes, be warned.

it's 50'000 yen, which certainly is not 500$ in 2024. More like 340$. Honestly with the exchange rate hike, the change in the pass cost is only like 50$ compared to say 4 years ago, like 15-20%. But yeah, considering the single tickets not having changed I agree it doesn't make much sense unless you do lots of shinkansen trips, as the single trips are now so much cheaper than before.

Japan is about the culture and everything unfolds from there. Harmony and not bothering others in the public space (trains for example) is a prominent cultural value. Don't stand two abreast on escalators, don't stop in the middle of a flow of people to look for something, tune into to the locals around you as an indicator. Carry a small plastic bag for your trash and dispose of it at your hotel as there are almost no public trash cans, yet the country is very clean. Don't litter. Respect in Kyoto the closure of some private streets to tourists and don't stalk the geishas for pictures. There may be a public performance you can see them in, check at your hotel. Remember shrines and temples are still active religious sites. Your trip will be smoother and feel more rewarding.

Hi! Totally hear you about travelling just with hand baggage rather than a checked in bag. Usually I only travel with handluggage even for trips that are a few weeks. However, I am hoping to stop at Japan on my way home from a 6 month secondment abroad and will thus have both a checked case and a cabin one (so 2 suitcases). Do you think this would make thngs very difficult re travelling around? In your experience do hostels/hotels have luggage storage e.g. if i was to leave the big case there for a few days whilst visiting another place? Many thanks in advance!

You can bring a larger luggage as long as it’s under 160cm in total dimensions on the train. To say that they are limited to carry on size only is misleading.

is there a way to get the suica app in english? I read that the english version app was removed and I don't see a way to download it in the app store

If the app isn't available for download in English, in the app there should be a settings page with language options!

I heard you need an international driver's license to drive the go carts on the streets. Did you do that?

Ive actually heard getting shoulder checked is not uncommon. Specifically more common for women who are/ seem to be alone.

DO NOT DO THE GO KARTS. LOCALS HATE THEM. Don’t be disrespectful

EAT LIKE THE LOCALS! Do not seek out western style food, at least not all the time. Costs more, not very good, not as healthy. And the seasoning is furikake.

Your thumbnail for this video is the same as the banner for another Japan channel that has been using it for well over 6 years. Even if it isn't copyrighted or trademarked, it is still bad form.

What about the suica card? How does it function because every video I see they recommend to buy the suica but I don’t even know where I can ride with it and which trains I’m able to ride with it🥲
@TrippedTravelGear
@TrippedTravelGear 4 ай бұрын
Suica is a digital product - that you download on your phone from the app store and it's good for the subway system in Tokyo. It's good for every train - the little tip about the Shinkansen (bullet train) is just that if you already have a Japan Rail Pass for the bullet train you get free rides on *some of the Tokyo subway lines
