[@h.o.j2375]

Very good point regarding meal ordering in restaurants. I have seen another KZbin channel where 2 adults and 2 kids ordering one okonomiyaki at a proper restaurant and it’s really terrible. Japanese people never do this and it is frowned upon. Even if they don’t say anything up front for sure they’ll be talking behind your back about it. This leads to foreigners getting a bad rep. Please remember to order minimum one item per person at any restaurant to be respectful.

[@chilangringo123]

Anna and Trevor, you guys are awesome. Thanks for so much great information on this video.

[@bridgetalves5667]

It wasn't as easy as we thought it would be to navigate that's for sure! We still loved it 😀- Trevor

Super helpful video! Enjoy Hawaii!

Thank you! Will do! 😀

I always fly into Tokyo (Narita Airport) everything there is very laid out with English translations. Cheapeast way to get into Tokyo from Narita is by bus! I always take the train!! Looking forward to seeing your travels through Hawaii thanks for the great videos!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good to know... maybe it was just the Osaka airport. We had no issues at all catching the train to Narita on our flight out of Japan 👍 - Trevor

[@lilyd3944]

thank you for all the helpful information 🤗 have lots of fun in Hawaii 😍

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You are so welcome! Bring on Hawaii! - Anna

[@BoStark]

Japan is probably up there with the difficulty of the language, but you figure it out and manage to get around. What I really like is that you feel super safe, walked around Tokyo at New Years eve in the middle of the night without any worries. Now I just need to figure out where I want to travel next, most of the easy countries is checked off so it probably be more and more challenging.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You're so right Bo.. it's super safe. Are you thinking somewhere in Asia for your next trip? - Anna

[@jijib7691]

I am so happy you're going to Hawaii! When you said you were going to the US in the past, I have to admit I was a little disappointed, but Hawaii is definitely on my bucket list!! 😎🌴

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Woohoo.. we can't wait to share the videos. We're hoping we can have 2 videos this coming week - Trevor

Hi all happy Sunday night and happy weekend and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you

Those toilets 🚽 sound incredible!!!

OMG those toilets Janice! 🤗 😅 - Anna

Very interesting video. I hope you get to go to Pearl Harbor, Such history! But you will need to chill and have some beach time too!

We really can't wait to share the Hawaii videos. We're hoping for 2 vids this week! - Anna

[@travelertrome8449]

This is a very informative and helpful video! If I can add one more tip - try to get a business card of your hotel. Just in case you get lost or do take a taxi, showing the card to someone for directions will greatly help you get back to your home base.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Great tip TT! We did that in Beijing actually. But now that we mainly try to avoid taxis and use Ubers, Lyfts, Grabs etc that usually solves that issue 👍 - Trevor

[@advertisingagency5840]

Thank you

[@DelightfulTravellers]

👍

[@bilingualwriterjapanesetex7156]

I love Japanese convenience stores. They are the best in the world! When I was working in Japan, the convenience store bento was my staple. You might not see drive-through in Japan, but you will see convenience stores everywhere.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

😀

[@Where_in_the_world_are_we_now]

Who knew toilets could be something to be so excited about and look forward to! 😂🤣. They sound….. uhmmmm…, almost fun. 🤭 Thanks for another great video. Looking forward to seeing your Hawaii videos! Safe travels.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We already want to go back because of those toilets haha - Anna

Love that Hawaii is next. Loved it many years ago when we went. Anna, your hair looks great. Safe travels.

[@johna5428]

Hello, if you never use chops sticks before do they offer plastic forks and knives and all these restaurants

[@DomDaBomb77]

When I was in Vancouver, it was always Japanese restaurants that had lineups outside. Perhaps they were homesick haha.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha you might be right! 😅- Trevor

[@user-ps3bt9do9f]

Thank you for introducing my country Japan. I must tell you that ICOCA, SUICA, or PASMO cards can be used in some cafes, shops, restaurants, vending machines in stations, and some restaurants as well as convenient stores. Like VISA, Mastercard, or AMEX, you can find SUICA or ICOCA signs where you can use those cards for payment. As ICOCA, SUICA and PASMO are interconnected, if you find one of these 3 signs, I think you can use any of these 3 cards. I live in Japan, but I don't use cash often. Watch vending machines and shops and cafes, and you'll find these signs. Some shops or restaurants choose not to show these signs even if cards are accepted. So, if you cannot speak Japanese, I recommend you to show your credit card or ICOCA card and ask, " Credit card, OK?", or "ICOCA card OK?" Most Japanese know those English words.

[@elf_forward_giga8050]

Line ups are not a thing in Japan, but a thing in Tokyo (or only some places in Osaka) from point of view of Japanese living in a local city, though Japanese from Tokyo don't know about this fact.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

There were tons of lines in Osaka!

[@jonathansakura]

But the many of us have been living in Asia for many years and been to Japan many times lol 😅 Also fyi korea and Japan are also east asia 🌏 The height of the people in Japan was my biggest culture shock when i first went lol Also how did you pay so much for a hotel? I found some super affordable foreigner friendly ones for 30 or 40 a night on airbnb

[@morilina5756]

my 2nd home JAPAN and my 1st HOME Philippines 😊

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Both countries are amazing! - Anna

[@bebaokhanh5]

❤❤❤

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks for watching! - Anna

[@mariaangelinabatallones292]

Japan and Korea are the same. Less nationals speak English. With transpo taxis are expensive so it would be practical to ride their subway transpo.

[@JENNYLEEWORLD]

Japan is stuck in the 1990s. Japan has nothing to do with Korea. Delusional

[@AIR19721972]

次男が大学で英語の勉強をしています。 来年、カナダに留学する予定です🎶 とても楽しみにしています😊 クレジットカード使えないのは、お年寄りや、貧困者が困るからだと思います。 私もクレジットカードは作っていません。 だから現金が使えなくなると困ります💦 楽しい動画を有難う御座いました❤

Hello guys.. first up, there's no need of background music really.. esp the looping music it's basically annoying 😊😅 other than that great travel tips❣️

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks.. but we like the background music 🙃- Anna

[@momplaygroupfouz4946]

I don’t know I’m on the fence about Japan. The biggest reason it being so expensive. As far as Hawaii, you’ll feel you’re in the United States but of course the geography is that of a pacific island. It’s also quite expensive but very beautiful. You guys have been to gorgeous beaches so Hawaii won’t be that different from the beaches you’ve been to. Have fun.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So good to know! Def visit Japan if you're feeling adventurous haha

[@donnasheen9609]

Good morning

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤗

[@colleenc2023]

Honestly, an in-depth video about Japan’s toilets, vending machines and convenience stores alone could easily be done if one were inclined to do so, those aspects of the country are so advanced 😅. As sad as I am about this series being over, I am equally excited about the next adventure to Hawaii 🏄!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Bring on Hawaii! Woohoo - Trevor

Did you know that the Japanese go to GUAM instead of Hawaii supposedly it is very nice?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We did not!

[@user-yd1xv2bd8j]

日本人は確かに英語は苦手だが、Google翻訳やその他の翻訳機器があるし、交通機関には沢山英語表記はある 日本人全てが外国人のガイドではないんだから、日本人に英語覚えさせようとする傲慢さは止めてもらいたい また外国人はなぜかJRパスと言う安いチケット買える特権を持っており、日本人より安く電車に乗れる それなのに文句言わないでもらいたい また日本の交通機関は外国の交通機関に比べて時間に正確な上にスピードが速い この様な日本の利点を外国人は受けられる上に日本人より安いチケット買えるのにいちいち文句言ってもらいたくない ホテルの従業員が英語話せないなら問題かも知れないが、一般の日本人や交通機関の関係者が英語が話せなくても文句言うべきでない 外国人の為に存在する訳ではないんだから 観光業の従業員でも必ずしも外国人の為の観光業に携わってる訳じゃない 日本は人口も多く、日本人だけ相手にしてても内需が多いので、観光業として成立してるので、外国人の対応を必ずしも前提としていない 特に田舎や地方都市 翻訳機器みたいな文明の機器があるんだから、外国人も努力すべき しかも日本は外国よりネット回線のインフラは充実してる YahooやGoogleの時刻表使えば交通機関の利用も基本的には問題ない 日本人でさえもその他のネット時刻表を見て移動してるくらいなんだし いずれにしても、旅行者はただでも日本の安い物価の利益を受けられるだけでなく、従業員へのチップもなく、その上鉄道料金も安く恵まれてるんだから、言葉の問題であまり文句言うな！

[@ashleyw5064]

The most important thing is not to insult Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. An American KZbinr shouted to Japanese people on a train in Japan, "We're going to drop another atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which indiscriminately killed scores of civilians, is the N-word in Japan.

[@JENNYLEEWORLD]

Most the victims were Koreans. Japanese emperors are all Koreans. Only way to stop war was to hurt Koreans. Then the Japanese emperor finally defeated

[@Mwoods2272]

Did EVERY restaurant have a line? I doubt every restaurant did, just go to a place that didn't have a line.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

The well rated restaurants all had lines - Trevor

[@carltahum7953]

Korean and chinese is their main market thats why train and airport have chinese and korean annoucement and sign not english

[@DelightfulTravellers]

👍

[@JENNYLEEWORLD]

Delusional

[@user-du6re4ks7h]

That is not true, where there are foreign language guidance, the first one you will find is English. A lot have Chinese and Korean too but again, if they have foreign language guidance, there is always English.

[@user-tq8ss3bw6z]

Why should we all speak English if we live in Japan? Stop complaining! If you complain, please do not come. We Japanese are so tired of KZbinrs like you guys come and complain about our country in public. Again, the train system wasn’t built for the tourists, it’s for locals.
