Another translation app like Lens or Papago that you may not know but it's pretty useful and free is DeepL.

Highly recommend shipping your luggage to hotels, airports, airbnbs, anywhere. It’s super safe, secure, and on-time. No more lugging that luggage up and down the subway stairs.

[@mayaleex3]

Very true!! 😭

[@MaryamTayeh-k2c]

Isn’t it quite expensive though?

[@dreamyc1012]

​@@MaryamTayeh-k2c because a lot of people use it, it is not expensive. It really is very common to ship your luggages within Japan. Tt is why you don't see the Japanese lugging big suitcases in shinkansen etc. I have never been to Japan but have been doin lots of research as I haf plans to go next yr end... Hope this helps!

Im flying to Japan on the 1st of October 2024, I arrive at Tokyo the day after. Besides Tokyo we are also visiting Osaka and Kyoto and of course I wanna use the system that drops my bagage at the next hotel where I’m arriving. My question is: When is it the best time to do it? A day before I’m checking out from the hotel to go to the other one, or can I do it the same day? I don’t wanna reach at the other hotel(s) while my luggage is still not there.

[@draker67]

​@@ParaSF4exactly, these are the sort of questions that stop me from doing this

[@anthonybarton3850]

[@slytherinlass1986]

I've been looking for tips for when I visit Japan in mid January next year. Do you have any extra tips?

[@stephanieesparza3176]

Here for Maya 🎉😊

[@AnxMa]

I was so close to visiting it one point. I had experience with modeling and in 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit this Japan... Great channel!

[@lightlegion_]

Your style is really impressive!

[@ofalekz119]

stumbled upon your vids and i am in love! im going to japan for my first time this upcoming january so i'm excited to binge watch your travel videos! by any chance, do you have a video for tips to vlog or take pictures as a solo traveler? i want to vlog & take cute pictures my first time in japan for my family and friends to see but i am also not wanting to be so awkward lol.

[@kevin19358]

Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your trip to Japan and Korea. Thanks for the heads up. Last May, I visit Tokyo for the 1st time in 2024, it's good and awesome, but the train is super crowded on the busiest hours, including Disneyland in Tokyo/Chiba and days, weather is unpredictable and almost most restaurants don't accept card, which is quite annoying, so I have to bring a lot of cash. I been to Osaka for the 1st time in October of 2010 when I was a kid, it's good and awesome, I enjoy my 1st trip to Japan.

[@walterwalters8412]

would you consider getting a JR pass for a 15 day stay? or is it not worth it.

[@mayaleex3]

JR pass is only worth it if you’re going back and forth between other cities on the bullet train - not the regular trains :) if you’re only going from let’s say Tokyo to Osaka and back, that won’t be worth the price!

[@gerrelsaunders]

Thank you ✨

[@J9DD]

Do i have to unlock our phones to use ESIM? & do you purchase the eSIM plan before arriving? Or when we land?

[@JamesDavis-jw6nj]

affic?, Hearable then Seeabley!

[@ChristieChia-x7g]

Hi Maya. I will be heading to Japan this December. What outfit would you recommend since it will be super cold? Thanks

[@andunusblick]

Here in Argentina, if a restaurant has 3 stars, you're basically signing up for food poisoning and a stomach pump

[@ashimanarulaYOLO]

Helpful ❤🎉

[@AkaylaBC]

Do you a have pocket WiFi that you recommend ? And that can get shipped to me in the US before my trip?

[@dreamyc1012]

I heard tt Japan Wireless and Ninja Wifi is gd...

[@JamesDavis-jw6nj]

See you later, Maya! Thanks too.

[@Icecreamking1900]

Maya please help me out if you know! My cousin and I are going to japan for 2 weeks from May 28th - June 11th, its both of our first times going to japan! We are mainly staying in osaka but are traveling to tokyo and kyoto, but what can we expect for weather? You said may is nice weather but does that early in june start to get really hot and humid? would greatly appreciate the help, thank you!

[@Noor-kp1yb]

My son and brother are visiting Japan for the whole of November.What will the weather be like.They’re coming from the UK

[@Akirameowxp]

What kind of documentation do you need to enter Japan??

[@borg386]

Hello from Florida USA ❤❤ Do taxis charge per person, or per car, or ? Also, what is the average taxi fare, as in to start, and per mile. Thanks for any answers 😁

[@michaelzuluaga8223]

If the suica card doesn’t work for the JR train to travel from Tokyo to Osaka/Kyoto, then how do you pay for those trains?

[@lkive]

Can you do this same type of video for Korea? 🙏

[@AuthorCAL]

Can I just use my plan's international daily rate?

[@KoalaIP]

Are you Maya, the Korean singer?

[@TeenoMotz]

It would have been good to note that the reason the physical Suica card is still in demand is because not everyone has an iPhone 😂

[@WilliamCape-c3w]

Hand Fall

[@JamesDavis-jw6nj]

Psalms, Proverbs, Testaments?

[@JamesDavis-jw6nj]

15 so far?

[@mellijelli30]

Has anyone elses card not worked when they tried to add suica onto their apple wallet?

[@everydaylife04]

Me! It kept declining my card. 😢 but Pasmo worked!
