Japan travel tips people won’t tell you!

[@zfgnerdlife]

I liked the train ride from Narita, we landed at night so I got to see the whole city lit up. But it is like an additional 45 minutes or so.

[@maydaysan]

That is fair! For me, I just wanna get back home haha and Narita is too deep. But that Keisei Liner is quite nice.

[@zfgnerdlife]

@ can you still get the JR rail pass or did that get done away with?

[@maydaysan]

@@zfgnerdlife you can it’s very expensive now

[@prototypekev1347]

I’ll be there around Christmas again. Staying in Minato at The Celestine

I usually go with whatever flight is cheapest to get to Japan, Narita or Haneda. Usually with jet lag, that little train ride from Narita is NBD so I don't mind it but Haneda is obviously cheaper. I was going to go Haneda for my upcoming second trip but I got a deal in to Narita and out of Haneda that I had to take, and it works out with flying out from Narita to Fukuoka or Osaka to start a trip, since you can just hop on another flight without leaving the airport!! (btw domestic flights in Japan are like cheap AF my flight to fukuoka was $70 USD WITH a checked bag!!) Im getting my tonkotsu on in FUK before visiting Hiroshima then Kansai then a lil tokyo time because it is THE GOAT love your channel brotha

Spent a month in Japan for my first time this year (Jan-Feb) and it was awesome! Going next month for 2 weeks and can't wait

[@maydaysan]

You are gonna love it again!

Im going over Christmas, so thanks for the tips. I knew the whole "no eating while walking" thing wasn't really true.

[@maydaysan]

I’m sure you’ll get death stares like 5% of the time but it’s nothing to worry about. Just worry about if you’re being a nuisance doing so

[@MohdArif-pl3sy]

"Dont land on Narita" No, i train nerd and rode both Skyliner and Narita express.

[@jonahwillis2781]

As a train nerd traveling to Japan I completely agree. Especially coming from North America

You forgot the most important tip: if you're traveling to Japan you have to like, comment and subscribe.

[@maydaysan]

Haha it’s in there!

[@TheDigitalPanther]

This was helpful info. I lived in Japan in 2016 and I'm going back with friends next April. Didn't know cash is no longer king! I paid everything in cash there. I remember staying in an APA hotel once in Fukushima and the bed took up 95% of the floor space.

[@maydaysan]

Yeah the whole contactless thing is a game changer!

[@TheRedValue]

If you want a cheap place to stay if you land in Haneda that's close to it is either Katama or Kawasaki. Shibuya is only 30minutes away by train and the prices are definitely worth it if you just landed in or are about to depart from Haneda.

[@maydaysan]

Kawasaki s indeed a shout! I think with most peoples schedules and crammed itineraries, they would probably wanna be closer to Tokyo

[@TheRedValue]

@@maydaysan yeah it is great if you just land/depart from there. We wanted to check out Yokohama anyways on our last day before departing so it was perfect!

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

Great video, maydaysan. Looking forward to your next upload! I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on the nuances of traveling in Japan are incredibly helpful. How do you foresee the adoption of cashless payments evolving in smaller towns compared to major tourist areas?

[@maydaysan]

Thank you so much!!

[@mescobar8801]

Love the content!! We are planning a trip to Japan so you helped out considering the faux KZbinrs who don’t make it easy for others lol. By the way what camera do you use for your videos when talking and filming in the streets?

[@maydaysan]

Haha what do you mean faux KZbinrs 😂 I use the DJI osmo pocket 3 as my main camera. Sony zv e10 for tripod stuff and zooms if I’m not hating it And iPhone for b cam support

[@jammydoughnuts]

Have you ever stayed at any dormy inn hotels? I’m considering staying at their student accommodation for my year abroad and was wondering how their hotels are?

[@maydaysan]

I have actually! They’re alright. Get the job done and usually have an onsen!

[@jammydoughnuts]

@ It seems like a reliable chain where you know what you’re getting each time! That’s usually my go-to type of hotel to stay at in the UK too haha. Are they usually quite affordable?

[@Lysander45]

I pronounce 'shinkansen' like I am saying 'Chris Hansen'.

[@maydaysan]

😅😅 that’s good?

[@humanbean3]

[@maydaysan]
