how has it been so far? im planning on going next october. Still a while away but I enjoy researching and planning early lol

[@Kraffty808]

The first time I went to Japan I booked a two night stay at a capsule hotel. The place was very clean, conveniently located and inexpensive. However, if you are a light sleeper or use the bathroom frequently, I would highly suggest not "trying it out" like I did. The constant door slamming, the next door neighbor snoring and no fan or air conditioning did it in for me. Also, your belongings are stored in a locker down the hall as well as the bathrooms. Needless to say I did not stay for my second night and booked a traditional hotel. I will never book a capsule hotel. You've been warned lol

[@sounk27]

Thank you for all you tips and tricks! It has definitely helped my husband and I plan our trip while being conscious of our spending. Your positivity is contagious and makes us feel confident in our travel plan to Japan.

I haven't really worried about cost my first time. I am spoiling myself for my 30th bday, this has been my dream goal since it was a kid. I am so excited. My second trip will be more budget friendly haha. Always enjoy your videos, so I will keep this video saved for later! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your video and information. Next year is the World Expo, Osaka 2025, but I cannot find a single tour group including it in their itinerary. Figure I would add it to an "add on" after a group tour. Any suggestions to save money on this "to be popular destination"?

[@buildyourmoxie]

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hello! I think Osaka is not too hard so if you can’t find a tour, I think you should be okay! It’s not as hard as Tokyo :) Here is my vlog below! You can walk most places. And the subway isn’t complicated there as it’s a lot of straight lines.

[@JackBlack-ii1ip]

If the AirAsia flight gets you into Haneda too late to get public transport into Tokyo, it's no big deal. Get up to the top floor and crash out. Depending on your final destination, from around 07.00 you can get a long distance bus. If you're travelling heavy (which is 95% of people) you can get your 20kg suitcase delivered by one of those companies next to where you buy the bus ticket. Sure you can put it on the bus, but then you have to manhandle it pulling your arm out of joint. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

[@JackBlack-ii1ip]

Sometimes a direct flight is better than one where you have to change planes. With a direct flight, you can only be charged once for seat preference. And go for an aisle seat, if there are two of you, both book an aisle in the same row. My best deal was a Norwegian Air from Gatwick to Singapore, direct (bring your own food), the flight was cheaper than the airport charges. From Singapore you can easily get a 20,000 yen one-way flight to Tokyo ... or Ho Chi Minh City or Penang ... Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

[@panathenaea]

YES - Klook for the Shinkansen BUT don't forget to buy the base fare ticket as well or you can't go through the gate

[@reddwarfhead]

so confusing 😢

[@teikleelim8277]

Thanks for that..they should mention that on Klook..so get the basic ticket from the kiosk machine..put it through the ticket gate thingy and then scan the QR code given by Klook?

[@panathenaea]

@@teikleelim8277 that or get the ticket you bought from klook from the machine while purchasing the base fare - put through both paper tickets at the same time at the gate.... it's so messy. I almost missed my train because I didn't know about the base fare

[@teikleelim8277]

@panathenaea I just checked with Klook..they confirmed that I don't need to get any additional ticket, just scan the QR code given on the ticket voucher Klook sent ...don't need to get a physical ticket either... Think I better go early & double check at the ticket counter ..

[@panathenaea]

@@teikleelim8277 well, in May I bought my ticket through Klook on the shinkansen. I actually got a physical ticket from the machine instead of using the qr code. It covered the cost from Kyoto to Tokyo but not the basic fare. The gate wouldn't open for me when I put the ticket in the gate. I had to purchase a basic fare ticket. It was all very frustrating. Yes, do go early and check at the shinkansen office (the personnel at the gate weren't helpful at all)

[@YouTuberMe68]

Always wanted to go to Japan. After visiting Vietnam I changed my mind. Everything is so expensive after visiting Vietnam lol. I had a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo overlooking the beach and only paid $548 for 15 days. My next stay there is a little different. I got a room with a king sized bed and a breakfast nook and private bathroom for $198 for 15 days. 2 blocks from last place i stayed. I had the view. So I opted to save a little more money for some extra sightseeing and another tattoo haha. Da Nang Vietnam is so cool. Do I still wanna see Japan. Eventually. But for now I'll just live vicariously thru you.

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@KZbinrMe68 😝thank you for sharing! Wow those prices in Vietnam are a dream!!! Hehe thank you for watching my Japan videos!

[@YouTuberMe68]

@buildyourmoxie thanks for posting. Yea the prices there are amazing. The flight was expensive. I buy way in advance and was still over 2k this time. But Korean airlines is very comfortable. 747 out of Atlanta to Seoul. Almost 16 hrs. Then almost 5 more hours to Da Nang. It's a long boring flight and I can never sleep.

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@KZbinrMe68 it’s a very far flight!

[@YouTuberMe68]

@@buildyourmoxie yes....

2:14 The VPN thing does not work, sometimes it’s even more expensive using a VPN as if I were in Japan and some hotels are pricier with a few exceptions where it might be very little more cheap but most are more expensive or same price wether you use a VPN or not

[@michaelgleason9083]

Once again, Erica, a great video. I tell all my coworkers here in Vegas, who are going to Japan to watch your channel!. Everybody says Japan’s expensive for the truth is if you know what you’re doing it doesn’t have to be a lot of what I do, I learn on your channel. Besides, you’re so damn cute

[@davidebert8034]

Had a blast in Japan August 4-12! Here are the BIG THREE for me right when you get to the airport, after clearing immigration. 1. Get your Wi-Fi. 2. Get your IC card. 3. Get your Shinkansen ticket.

[@reddwarfhead]

we were thinking of arriving at ~4 or 5 PM, hoping we'd have enough time to get through customs and then to the hotel and maybe by the time we're there it's late enough so we can sleep until the morning 😂 That being said I never travelled across such a big timezone (7 hrs ahead in our case), so I don't know if this is just wishful thinking..

[@amandacolon821]

I found your channel when looking at Disney Tokyo videos and I got sucked in and now you have me wanting new luggage lol. For carry on luggage and tote which would you suggest more.. beis or monos?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Haha oh man! It’s like trying to pick my favorite child! I would say if you are going for quality, monos is way better quality! It is more pricey tho bud so nice!! I love my monos so much cuz I feel so sleek. Plus sometimes beis doesn’t fit in all overhead cabins on the plane. That scares me so I only bring it domestic or on international flights I know are bigger :) Any new airlines I’m bringing monos! :P

[@buildyourmoxie]

Just in case to clarify! This is the one I like and use! Monos Hybrid Carry On (regular size): shrsl.com/4gzbl -Carry on Cover: shrsl.com/4kp4p And this is the Monos Metro Tote I loveeee: shrsl.com/4kils

What's the cheapest and best airline to use?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hehe the cheapest I would not recommend cuz it will have sooo many layovers. Stay away from self transfers too From Los Angeles to Tokyo I like to do direct flight. You can go anywhere from $600-$4,000 for coach. So time of year makes a huge difference!! I love any Asian airline the most cuz the service is superb!

[@billgober2]

@@buildyourmoxie good to know thank you. I was looking at Delta vs Air Canada. Delta was cheaper but idk if it would be as comfortable. I'll have to look into the asian airlines.

Before I moved to Japan I was a tourist multiples times here great advice 😊❤ Hope you move here next 😊😊

[@Byangzzzzz]

You didn’t provide helpful information; instead, you gave general, safe advice. 1. You mentioned not going during the holidays but didn’t suggest which months are best. 2. You stated that hotel prices range from very cheap to very expensive, which is obvious. I was hoping for more solutions instead of generic information.

[@buildyourmoxie]

[@borg386]

The problem with Japan is that their KARAOKE SUCKS! Oh Japan created Karaoke right? Yeah, but but they never improved it like America has done. All that can be found over there are "karaoke rooms" I repeat karaoke rooms😂 Wth? Who wants to go and sing with just the people you are with. NO REAL AUDIENCE! There is nothing like the thrill of singing in front of total strangers and them applauding you because they loved your singing. Strangers...not just friends And what if all you have is one person with you? Talk about a dead crowd. Come on Japan, make KARAOKE GREAT FUN. If anyone knows of good "public" karaoke bar that is NOT private rooms in the Shinjuku area, please let me know, because I have desperately been trying to find one. Thanks for any answers.
