Great video! I am also a physical therapist and found you through your Japan tips video when planning my upcoming trip to Japan. Your videos and work ethic to keep up as a clinician and with your channel is impressive. Rooting for you and keep up the good work!!

[@buildyourmoxie]

😍 yay!! Hello my fellow wonderful colleague! Thank you for everything you do to help others. 🥹🫶 it’s always nice meeting another clinician Aw thank you so much!!! Haha it’s been challenging but fun cuz I’m still 40 hours in the clinic 🥴. But the good thing is my work does a lot of vacation so I just stock pile it to travel! 😁

[@maryannmuray1983]

@@buildyourmoxie also, may I please ask what flight time you would recommend. TY :)

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@maryannmuray1983 I would suggest arriving in Tokyo in mid afternoon or earlier! 😍 this will allow you to do any business that you need to in the airport and then also grab some dinner wherever you want!! 😋 If you arrive too late at night some trains and busses are not operating 😝. So you may have to taxi or wait until til 5am or so

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@maryannmuray1983 I like sticking with direct flight and Asian airlines like Singapore or Japan Airlines cuz I just feel like if something happens, they will try to make it right 😅 I’ve have amazing experiences with both airlines. Plus no weird fees where they try to nickle and dime you at the counter for ur bags etc

[@pirella15]

How long was this flight? I have economy seats and a little worried about the 14 hour flight being uncomfortable.

[@buildyourmoxie]

The flight there was 12 hours and the flight back was 10 hours! Direct! I think it’s because of the wind flow or something. I always forget going there is 2 hours longer. Eeek! I know what you mean. 14 hours is long 😭 There are a few videos in here that can help make you more comfortable. I have stretching videos and other tips! 😃 good luck!!! kzbin.info/aero/PLl6OVUWv0m5TapdyDB0uuvBGjdnyu_Vc_&si=OCym00GoqNrHuldJ

Great vlog! Do you mind sharing the hotel you stayed at in Shinjuku? I’m having some trouble finding that info in the video .

[@lastrival1315]

03:25 Does suica provide refund too ? I thought you said spend rest of your balance on kitkat or something 😅

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes they do but you have to do it at specific kiosks (which can be a pain to find sometimes)!! So I still rather spend the remaining balance on KitKats 🤣🤣

Welcome to Japan. I always take the Limo Bus (( book online and in advance save almost 50%% )) Looks like a huge room for Japan. Ramen looked yummy. Had to laugh out loud when you said it was so cold, just checked the weather and shows 55 degrees and cloudy. I would be in shorts, T-Shirt and hoody around my neck just in case. Cake looked yummy. Fruit looked delicious. Absolutely Outstanding
