[@WOOF95]

Fabulous video full of valuable insider tips!! 😄

[@Marbeary]

Also those supermarkets at closing also include desserts. Yes the meals at the supermarket are good and if you are staying with a microwave great for breakfast

[@nobishinzaka]

Doing laundry doesn’t get mentioned much for Japan trip tip videos. Thanks for the tip!

[@claudetteedwards4115]

You have covered Everything! Awesome video ❤❤

[@josephau2910]

I've just returned from a trip to Sapporo and Tokyo, and I totally agree with the supermarket tips. You can save a bit more on snacks and other staple items.

[@traveller_andrew]

All sensible tips! Japan is not expensive, unless you make it expensive. Regarding food here is one from my experience. When in Paris instead of eating at a bistro with a view of Eiffel Tower, I went one block back to a French lunch spot and is amongst the most beautiful food I've ever had. And it was very affordable. Same in Rio. Go where the office workers go, they want great food that's not going to bite their wallet every day.

I love the night buses myself but I know they aren't for everyone. I saved so much money using them myself as I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, thankfully.

If you're "on the road", walking around towns and not that hungry, you can always buy onigiris and drinks at the convenient store or have a quick lunch in a chain restaurant such as Matsuya, Sukiya, Yoshinoya (Gyudon) where it's literally fast food. Quality at a reasonable price and you can have a more diversed/furnished dinner in a more traditional restaurant in the evening... Depending on where I am and how much I am visiting/walking, that is what I usually do. Helps save a few bucks on a long trip.

Uber eats and similar also also good options for food, and Didi and GoTaxi for transportation

Definitely sharing this to my travel group! Insane hacks seera! Life saver!!

[@MiddleAgedSwedeGoesForAWalk]

Really interesting to see the difference between countries when there's high or low season. In Sweden, the summer months, especially from mid June to early August is the most active time. That's when all the schools have their summer holiday which means a lot of parents use their paid leave at that time as well. Not to mention the fact that a lot of factories completely shut down for a few weeks in or around July, "forcing" people to use their paid leave during those week. This means that in that period is when there's most people out traveling around Sweden, but it also means that it's then that a lot of things interesting for tourists are open. Stuff like museums (especially open air museums) are often shut down outside of the summer months.

Great tips and especially reminder to go supermarket when there is discount time!

[@IQSim]

Haven't been to Japan yet but when traveling I always bring along my water bottle. That way I don't have to buy any drinks. I also like to get fruit or veggies, cut them up and bring them along as snacks. Kept in a lightweight plastic box they're easy to carry around in a bag. Some prep time at home or your hotel can save you quite a lot of money during the day.

As a future first timer in Tokyo i loved the vídeo with this great tips 👏🏼☺️

[@anthonychang2728]

[@junpig_]

Cucumer sushi rolls (かっぱ巻き) all day every day 🙌🙌

[@janmfalk]

Hach ich war im Frühling auch in Japan und wenn ich deine Videos schaue erinnere ich mich wieder an alles und will zurück ❤

[@AmbientWalking]

Thanks for all these amazing tips! WONDERFUL that you're sharing them with us!

[@subaruaura]

Been loving the content these, especially since I'm planning to go back to Japan next year! I would love to see a future video from you explaining the process of using the Shinkansen, all the different types of Shinkansen trains, and the different cars. I remember my first time being a confusing experience and would love a clear guide explaining the process.

[@pamelagordon869]

Just watched this it's a fantastic country I love your videos ❤❤❤❤

[@AmbientWalking]

My de-facto cheapo strategy when I was living in Tokyo was to head to any of the numerous 'Yayoi Ken' restaurants and order the cheapest 'ichiju sansai', a set meal (which is either grilled miso mackerel or deep fried chicken) with unlimited top ups (it's self service, so don't feel shy) of plain, white rice. I would basically fast till as long as I can till about 3-4 pm (there was once I hit a 6 pm record, but it was the summer and I did nothing but hang out at Tower Records listening to records) and head to Yayoiken and eat 6 bowls of rice or something. It's immensely fulfilling for a mere 590 yen. The meal will last you an entire day. Comes with free cold unlimited green tea, pickles and miso soup too. It gets pretty packed during rush hours, but at other times, you can sit there as long as you wish without anyone bothering you, which basically means you can eat as much rice as you like. Some of these branches (like the one in Ginza, several in Shinjuku) are open 24 hours!!!!! That's insanely awesome!!! : )

Your channel is my cosy escape after a strssful day

[@Toriicats]

This was by far one of the most helpful travel videos that I've ever seen. Thanks for being my emotional support channel.

[@willispate5257]

I’ve stayed at capsule hotels in Switzerland. The pricing in the Japanese capsule hotels//hostels are def cheaper.

[@YasmeenMO]

Thanks you for this video

[@toniparkes6570]

I always appreciate your videos, they definitely helped me to plan my first trip to Japan! I'm now planning to visit again, but around February time. Can I ask what it's like around then? I don't plan on visiting any ski spots, so I'm hoping it might be less busy, and flights definitely seem a bit cheaper. Thank you so much for the amazing content!

[@krazygermanpicker4207]

ich freue mich schon auf den 25gaijinpodcast am 25.11.bin gespannt

[@rayakojuice]

just got put on to your channel and I'd been binging pretty much all day, and now there's a new video. arigatou, seerasan

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for the tips. Out of curiousity, if you're allowed to film in there have you considered doing a new bookoff video?

[@christoffertan9243]

Great tips

[@Bruhecc]

Keep in mind that the Yen is quite weak currently, so at this moment in time its a lot more cost efficient to go than it would be in, say, two or three years.

[@mrcvillesteve]

Sorry. The saxophone music is amazing. 🎉

[@toshiendo8533]

As long as yen stays weak, we as in tourists are in good shape!

[@CB-sx8xh]

My plan for next trip to Japan is to fly into Kansai airport and get a JR west pass.

[@kurorintala]

September is still silly warm, at least the last few years. Don't think it often dipped below 30 degrees.

[@claudetteedwards4115]

We were there mid October and it was still hot 😂 and we're from Australia. I guess like all of Asia, they get the humidity and it feels hotter

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Save money visit places other than Tokyo. Yesterday dinner had Oita A5 Wagyu yakiniku in Kyushu and really affordable and great value. 4/5 stars hotels are cheaper too and comes with Onsen facilities for you to end the day

[@ottodoroki]

Paku Paku near donQi in Asakusa is a good choice of price

[@Chiisanabatta]

Get a super cheap dinner at a regular supermarket, specially after 20/21pm when there are huge discounts and you can literally buy sushi or ready meals for 100/300 yen. Why nobody mentions this in the saving type videos of Japan? 😅 good that u did though !!❤ buying in convenience stores is more expensive than supermarket, way more!!

[@invhndl]

Useful video! I did find the background music a bit distracting though

[@Liran-KM]

in the time i watched the video the likes went from 13 to 140+ i didn't see the souvenir video attached, can you add it please? thank you!

[@colinmathie2710]

I've heard other folk say you should avoid Golden Week to, is that true?

[@chadtran1953]

I just want to go there and never come back home lol

[@wasabigirl2004]

Hmmm, you are, obviously, not in this age bracket, but would you happen to know whether foreign Senior Cards are being accepted in Japan, for discount on transport or entry to tourist attractions?

[@yosabo7703]

no senior card is needed (and not sure they will know what you are showing them and how to reed it, as is a foreign document). I traveled to Japan with my dad, he was 68 at the time, they simply saw him and made him pay as a senior. In any case, your passport should be enough as it has your date of birth and you will be already traveling with it. Maybe to travel with more confidence you can learn how to ask in japanese for a ticket for seniors, or have a paper with the phrase to point at it. And I'm not sure if all attractions with discount for seniors apply to foreigners, maybe double check that in the places you want to visit.

[@geraldine645]

When going to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, where would it be best to stay? Kyoto or Osaka? Or is it close enough that it doesnt matter to commute to one from the other?

[@beanoyip06]

Coming around end dec and the accomodation prices are through the roof.

[@yaminogame7805]

one thing I didn't get about LUUP is how do you return it? Do you have to go back to that same place you got it at or are their returns everywhere?

[@43VA89]

when you start up the app you select the place where you are going to pick up the bike, then you select your ‘drop off point’ where you drop off your bike. The app shows a map off all bikes, and scooters and also shows the battery charge on them :)
