I remember when I visit Japan in 2017, the tag line on display for tourists to Japan is Japan: Endless Discovery. Now in 2024, they are talking about the bad effects of over tourism. There are now more Japan based budget airlines to countries like Southeast Asia due to rising demand. And there will be more airlines going to remote destinations in Japan in future. And more hotels are being built around Japan too. I am not sure whether the new tourist tax will curb the issue of over tourism though. If the tax is high enough, it may have a deterrence effect. But I believe this is not what future tourists will like to see. Haha.

Thank you so much for the comment! We of course love all of our fans and would love to meet again.

The problem with Japanese clothes is that it’s on the small side. I have to order one size larger. I’m going to Japan in November.

[@Howzit_japan]

We hear that comment sometimes, yeah... it can be harder for westerners specifically.

[@loosilu]

Went to Japan for the first time last November. Autumn in Japan is AWE. SOME.

[@Howzit_japan]

It is one of our favorite for sure, along with spring of course.

Autumn in Kyoto was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.. the colors are so vibrant and beautiful. I took the same photo as the one in thumbnail. Gosh, I cant wait to go back. Thanks for this amazing video. ❤

[@Howzit_japan]

We think it is beautiful as well, the leaves can be amazing. We also suggest HIroshima and that area as well it is famous for the leaves. Our guides and tours are all Tokyo based unfortunately, there are so many gems around Autumn though

I am an Indian, and visiting your beautiful country in October. Should I bring warm full sleeves clothes or half should would work?

[@manuvital9071]

Love your content! I will be in Tokyo December. for 6 weeks. Can i purchase Suica card somewhere in Narita airport when I fly in (android user)? Thanks

[@crazybop5848]

Nice! Thankyou so much! How about the leaf in middle October?

[@SirMopy]

woa… can’t wait. nov 1st till nov 24th i’m in tokyo, osaka and kyoto area… so layers and a thick sweater is ok?

[@loosilu]

Yes that should be fine! Maybe pack a thin jacket. dress as you would in NYC at that time of year.

[@Howzit_japan]

Something light should be okay yes a thick sweater will be more than enough along with a thin jacket as the other comment said. This year has been very warm

[@AnnabelleEve-x6g]

can i use suica in hokkaido area for the trains / busses

[@kikaykimy]

We’ll be there, for the first time next week. And I’ve been diligently checking on the Weather apps to keep track of the temperature. We’re coming from the Philippines which is hot and humid despite constant rains, so I’m really not sure if it’s necessary to bring jackets. Upon observing the weather apps, it seems early October is still not cold and your video validated it! So thank you! I guess I will still bring light jackets just in case it will feel colder to us, since we’re coming from a tropical country. And about Tourist Taxes, it’s just fair and should’ve been implemented a long time ago. I was actually surprised that Japan has just introduced this scheme now when in my country, it’s always been there (coz we’re a poor country 😅).

[@Howzit_japan]

Yes, unfortunately this year was very hot which delayed a lot of things, but October is warm so is most of November. It is fine with just a light jacket, even if you are from a warm country. Haha interesting about the taxes it is kind of a tricky topic for us in Japan right now

[@GioCordero-bc5eu]

what are the name of those 2 onsen’s? Lol would you mind spelling it 😅?

[@loosilu]

I will recommend an onsen in Tokyo. Sakura. I confidently recommend it. I was there for 6 hours and was the only white person there. I saw a black man in the common area. I do not speak Japanese, but it was honestly not a problem. Check the yelp reviews.

[@Howzit_japan]

It was Kinosaki onsen, and Hakone is a name of a city with many onsen!

[@GioCordero-bc5eu]

@@loosiluis it tattoo friendly?

[@GioCordero-bc5eu]

@@Howzit_japanare these places tattoo friendly?

[@loosilu]

@@GioCordero-bc5eu no, sorry! There are other onsen in Tokyo that allow tattoos.

[@elizavatsky3262]

i am worried i will miss autumn leaves in kyushu, if i go up in to the mountains will i have a better chance to see autumn leaves?

[@Howzit_japan]

You should be able to see them in the city or the mountains! Just make sure to keep an eye on the calendar for the area you want to go to. If you google that prefecture and a leave changing they will have a calendar up usually

[@andrewjimenez6372]

Awesome tips !! We are headed to Osaka and Kyoto Nov 24 for our honeymoon and would love a 3 day “itinerary” for Kyoto - mostly just how to break up the city Day 1 Arashiyama, Day 2 Cental + Gion? Day 3 Gion+Fushimi Inari shrine? Any suggestions?

[@loosilu]

Lucky you!!! It's a beautiful time of year!!

[@Howzit_japan]

We would love to help more with Kyoto we are in the process of expanding tot hat area. Unfortunately all of our guides are Tokyo specific guides, we will try asking around though.

[@mariacristinabenlot415]

Hi! I will becoming to Tokyo on Nov. 8, planning to visit Nikko and Kawaguchiko for autumn folliage. Is this the right time to see the peak of Koyo?

[@loosilu]

I was in Tokyo last November. IMO this is PERFECT!

[@Howzit_japan]

That time should be okay, but we are seeing news that this year it might be delayed a little bit because it has been very hot this year. Make sure to keep an eye on that info as it can change very rapidly

[@chriswilson6732]

loved the video do you think over tourism is a problem

[@loosilu]

It is a problem in tourist areas. If you do research, you will find many more places to go!

[@Howzit_japan]

We personally have not felt it be too problematic, our guides are fairly good at avoiding things or finding other routes. It really depends on where and what you want to see right now.
