My tip for traveling to Japan is to bring your coin purse, because as I experienced on my last trip to Japan, I had an overwhelming amount of coins than my ordinary wallet can handle. Thus I tried to find a coin purse to keep 'em all safely 😊
@kimdao5 жыл бұрын
oh yes hhahha, I always try get rid of my coins when i can!
@sherwinclarencego19335 жыл бұрын
Best advice hehehe. The Yen is very coin heavy in nature; while in other countries they are small change but in Japan, especially if you have a handful, you can actually buy a full meal with it...
@keithlim25555 жыл бұрын
My advice: try to get rid of the coin as much and possible. For places like store or shopping just use your suica or passmo so you won't be given any coins. Pay only with cash if the amount is multiple of 100yen then you can avoid lots of coins.
@Anonymous5516564 жыл бұрын
One of the first things I did in Japan was to buy a small coin box from a 100 Yen store. Not only does it hold the coins, but neatly sorts them which I found very useful dealing with an unfamiliar currency. It's not as slim or lightweight as a pocket purse of course, but I never had any issues fitting it into a pocket - and if you carry a shoulder bag, handbag, or purse with a strap it shouldn't be an issue.

With regards to Suica. You can only get that card in JR-East stations. Other regions have similar cards but they are named differently. Essentially, every big transport company has its own card but they are interchangeable. I also like that more stores are accepting a credit card and that often they do it pinless. The low crime rate makes it so that this is still possible.

The tax free purchasing in Japan is great. I got a switch and a ricoh gr for $220(each not together). The stores that do it have a big sticker on their front window. The only negative is some of them will put a sticker on your purchase so you can't use it till you leave, but for stuff for other people its awesome.

Power board: and bring adapters 4. Sim Card: check if you only get data or also a number; different packages available 5. Phone Apps: Google maps for public transport; Google translate if you can‘t speak japanese; Japan Taxi works similar to Uber 6. JR Pass: depending where you go; 300$ per week; think about whether it is worth it or not 7. Suica: you can have it on your phone and don‘t have to use the actual card 8. Travel Insurance: always get it 9. Tickets to attractions: research if you have to book tickets in advance 10. Passport: research if you have to apply for a visa; bring the passport everywhere: possible discount/taxfree with foreign passport

If you are a Japanese citizen with another citizenship (like me!), please still use the Japanese passport and confirm that you have lived outside Japan for at least ten years. Japanese Americans, Japanese Canadians and Japanese Brazilians however have to look that up on the internet as they have different regulations.

Travel tips? All Kim Daos are spot on, I'll just add a few little bits... this may be a long comment. 1 - Definitely research Sim cards, my first trip I used my UK sim as my network offered a daily subscription which worked out cheaper on a short trip than a Japanese sim. I tried to use wifi only on my second trip.... it did NOT go well. Third trip I got the Mobal card and never looked back, will get it again next time. 2 - Suica is available on Google Pay so Android users can join in! I didn't know this till you mentioned the Apple Pay n researched it. 3 - I've spent time in an izakaya using the conversation mode on Google Translate to chat with locals. It was a really great night 😁 There's a few more but they're roadtrip related (do a roadtrip in Japan if you can people, it's fun)

What about a portable/pocket WI-FI in tandem with the mobile/data SIM card, or is that overkill? Most tourists are on the go most of the day and WI-FI can get spotty, depending on the location. Especially if you're dependent on Google Maps for train/bus times. We used a SoftBank pocket rental that we picked up/dropped off at the airport (we did NOT use a SIM card in Japan, but we did use one in Europe).

That is true but all the tips I gave is pretty much the same for everyone. I don't know how the exchange rates are for example in the US or Europe. That is something that you have to look up yourself before you go. I can't give advice on something that I don't know. For the powerboard advice, same thing. Get whichever one suits your country.

I just watched your Osaka videos, Planning to go there for a survey or if i moved to osaka for good possible or not. (for business and career) This video helps a lot. I subbed. Cheers from Indonesia. Btw, have you made video about Japanese transport guides (trains, taxis) or about the seasons? What is the best season to travel there, and how to deal with weather conditions :)

Hi Kim!! I love your videos & vlogs so much they’re always so fun to watch 💕 I was wondering if you could maybe make a favorite video games & consoles video? 👉🏻👈🏻 I want to know your favs!!

Suica to phone will be really useful. I’ve been a few times and am heading back in January/feb for the snow festivals. I think a video on tips for different customs etc would be useful for people. The first tip I went I tried to tip at a restaurant. Knowing little things like not tipping etc would be really useful for first time travellers 👍🏻

Thank you so much Kim!! This was a great video and so useful as my family and I will be going to Japan for the first time in October this year. Super excited. We are going to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo and plan to do a lot of day trips from Osaka to for example, Hiroshima, Meiji, Kobe etc
