Solo Traveler's Top Tips for Japan 🇯🇵 w/

[@tomokotomoko]

Interviewing @NinjaMonkeyguy who is a solo traveler and travels Japan many times. I asked him ① 3 things you like about Japan ② 3 things you dislike about Japan ③ 5 Japanese words you use the most. Hope you enjoy his honest answers! 😊 Love Tomoko

[@Gazumi-inOZ]

Great seeing Tomoko and Nathan together. I think having more Japanese based KZbinrs interacting with regular international Japan KZbinrs would be helpful for the Japanese to better understand the visitors perspective 👍

[@tomokotomoko]

Thank you for watching.😊 It's good to know what they think about Japan.

[@froglady4360]

Stashing a plastic bag in your daypack for trash definitely comes in handy👍😊

Kellogg's frosted flakes: I love that bag. Since I'm older than dirt, I've always arrived at a location 15 minutes early and eating solo is a treat especially when I was going to the theater. Love the content.

Nice interview tomoko !! I have seen some of his vids before too 1 No rubbish bins and Not many seats And Rules are too many other than that I’m ok with japan!!! 😄 Nice vid!!!! 👍🏻

[@tomokotomoko]

We got used to no rubbish bins.😁　We grew up with many rules. 😅　It's good to know the traveler's opinion.👍 Thank you, astro!

[@60frederick]

My first trip to Japan was in 1993… What I never understood was the question „Are you American?“….. Thank you very much, Tomoko, for sharing your video with us.

[@tomokotomoko]

People thought that all of foreigners looked like American?🙄 We should ask, where are you from? Doko kara kimashita ka? 😊　Thank you as always, Frederick!

[@marianao347]

Awesome video, he's right, reect the rules in the cpuntry you visit and know how they are, like the last word, understanding is the key

[@tomokotomoko]

Understanding is the key. 👍 Agreed.😊

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Nice conversation. I've noticed that tourists often talk about the lack of trash cans ---is it really a problem?

[@tomokotomoko]

We got used to the lack of trash cans. But when tourists walk and eat, tabearuki, they want to throw away the wrappings. 🙄😅

[@gila168]

Tomoko can do squats with no problem (daijoubu) because she is expert at malasana yoga pose. 😄

[@tomokotomoko]

😆 That part! When I was a kid, my house had a squat toilet. Then I'm good at malasana. 😁

[@greg5023]

12:09 "Japan is famous for not having trash cans" I saw two British TV personalities talking about this earlier today. They said that while in Japan, knowing they will have to carry the item's wrapping makes them less likely to buy take-away items.

[@tomokotomoko]

Ummm, consumption tax is 10% for eat-in & 8 % for take-away...😆

[@greg5023]

@@tomokotomoko Do Japanese tip the waiter 15% like Americans?

[@aaron2709]

Good one.

[@tomokotomoko]

Aaron! Arigato! ☺️

[@heartoflotus]

NinjaMonkey introduced himself using -san behind his name. I thought we are not supposed to introduce ourselves in Japan using -san behind our name. It was good to hear some of his experiences while in Japan. Thank you! 🙏

[@tomokotomoko]

You are right. His name is Nathan, so I think he just said than, san, rhyming.😆 Thank you for your comment, heartoflotus! 😊

[@manojfernando1028]

my policy is if you visit another country please respect their rules whether you like it or not

[@tomokotomoko]

That is great tips for traveling the world.😊 manoj!
