Hi everyone!
For the first time traveller to Japan, the airport can be very intimidating and confusing.. I remember when I first went I felt that way! In today's video I'm going to show you guys and also tell you what you should do before you leave the airport, whether it may be Narita or Haneda Airport, to make your travelling easier! I also show you quickly the different methods of transport you can take from the airport into central Tokyo! I always travel with a huge suitcase so I also show you what you can do to get it sent straight to your hotels so you don't have to worry about it!! Hope you enjoy this video and hope it was helpful!

THANK YOU SO MUCH KIM! Me and my future Husband want to go to Japan next Year as our Honeymoon Trip. ALL (Really all) of your Japan Videos are a lot of help for us. We are from Germany, and we can understand your videos so easy. I am Really thankful that i found your Channel many years ago. Thank you so so so so much 😊❤️

[@kimdao]

I'm so glad they were helpful! I hope you have a great honeymoon!

[@Priyanka_George]

Very informative.. Thank you so much. But you didn’t tell about currency exchange..

[@kimdao]

Because I don’t exchange at the airport, rates are terrible :)

[@Priyanka_George]

kimdao So where should one exchange? I heard the rates are the same as in the banks ..

[@kimdao]

I explained it in a previous video but I exchange in Australia. And no, every single airport around the world jacks up the rates for currencies so you get ripped off.

[@redfish337]

You need a little to get started... which you can get at home, or the airport in Japan. TBH the rate was pretty decent last time I was there, so I exchanged more than normal so I'd have a little more leeway. Well, honestly I usually have enough in reserve to not have to, but I was with some Japan newbies who had to exchange, so I had THEM exchange more, lol. I exchange the bulk in Tokyo through, after checking a few different exchanges to see who's giving the best rate. It can switch around a little bit from year to year, so you don't want to automatically trust a company that used to be good without checking the numbers. But, TBH, it apparently depends a lot on what currency you're using. And that takes research on your own part.

[@alexangulo2055]

I order a little from my bank in the states.. comes in the mail. Then in Japan go to the ATM at 7-11 exchange rate was good.

[@MrsDebbieHoon]

Or no mention of prices for ANYTHING.

[@jakubpieczynski950]

Or just anything except luggage send service... :/

[@41supreme17]

yep its not a good guide. Issues : 1st of SIM card is complicated to connect and install so get a wifi device since it is simple to install. 2nd train is the easiest option and you need an IC card mostly for your intire stay, single tickets are extremely complicated for first time visitors and time consuming in general. 3rd prices ? 4th how will you find where to drop off the bus will they say it in english or write it somewhere ? Or will someone say the name of the station in japanese and good luck 5th going to the center for the first time ? without guide or knowledge of the city ? Thats insane your first day should be a guide of the city with a guide or a group so you get to adapt a little. 6th half of the video is a shopping and showing parts of the city. It felt like this was her 10th time and she was trying to make it seem as easy as it is for her to others..

Man she’s trying her best and it’s one little mistake No need to be rude, just tell her in a gentle way

If you want internet then you better buy SIM card or rent wifi from counter.you can compare price but if you buy from vending machine you need to do all the settings by your self and if it does not work you cannot cancle. So from my personal experience better buy from counter

you don't know how many times I've rewatched this video. I hope I can go to japan one day

[@chocjamie]

Thanks so much for this video Kim! I saw it just before we came to Japan for the first time. Originally I was thinking about trying the luggage service and then taking the train to Shibuya, but in the end we were just really tired after the travelling, and this video made me consider trying the limousine bus transfer service. Well after actually taking the city trains later in our trip, I am SO glad that we made that choice, it would have been really difficult for us to navigate around the trains with all the luggage and a child in tow while being so jet lagged! We thought the limousine bus service was really good and used it again to get back to the airport too. I think it ended up costing about Y80,000 each way for 2 adults and a child, door to door and no dramas with the luggage. So thanks again for such an informative video showing us all the options!

[@LuvMarwie]

This is great! I wish my friend and I knew about the luggage service! It was an adventure itself to lug our large luggage around.

[@kimdao]

oh yes, it's the worst!

[@LuvMarwie]

kimdao omg you replied! 🥰 could you do more videos like this for Japan? My friend and I used your videos to plan our trip to Japan in 2018 and you were the only one we found that had a capsule hotel in Akihabara for women only. Surprisingly it was really difficult to find a women only capsule hotel near Tokyo station! All the closer ones seemed to cater to only men. It would be awesome to see more helpful travel tips like this since we never knew about the luggage service in Japan and we did a lot of research before our trip!

traveling solo in japan can be a little scary the first time but once you get there and get comfortable, it gets a lot easier. i was more nervous because i don't know the language which can make things a little bit difficult. there were a couple people though who saw me on this last trip i went on to tokyo who asked if i needed help (which was surprising tbh since the first time i went alone no one asked if i needed help) if you know japanese, i'm sure it'll be easier as well.
