These are great tips to follow! I travel to Tokyo as well to visit family and I can vouch for Jesse's tips. I thought I'd share a few more for anyone here who's interested: 1. To get from Narita airport to Tokyo station, taking the NEX train is the fastest and most comfortable way to do so. But if u wna save some money, the normal subway does the job. The japanese commuters are also very accommodating of you bringing your luggage on board. 2. Some subway lines have express trains which only stop at certain stations and skip the rest. Aside from making sure you're on the right line, make sure you're on the right train as well. 3. Most must-visit places are along the Yamanote Line (green circle) but if you're willing to venture out to other lines, you might also wna check out Roppongi (great nightlife), Ginza (branded flagship stores), Shimokitazawa and Koenji (hipster spots).

[@atikah_zn]

4. Take a day trip to Yokohama city! It is accessible via subway. You won't regret it. 5. Also, learning how to say and sign Japanese numbers comes in handy, esp when going into restaurants and asking for tables.

[@tigertanksmith5871]

Roppongi...I liked to hang at "Geronimo Shot Bar"...good music setup by the bartenders.

[@nminenko]

Atikah Z Yes, the NEX train & Skyliner are the fastest and most comfortable trains to Tokyo, but they are also twice as expensive. However, you don't want to take a local (futsu) train to Tokyo from Narita Airport.....that would take forever stopping at every station. For the same price as a local train you can take a limited express train which skips minor stations.

[@arifrahman9024]

What is the best option to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo? I would like to escape the crowd and at a cheaper option too.

[@AmbientWalking]

A great hack that I want to share with everyone, especially if you need a lot of carbs is to Google 'Yayoiken' within Google Maps, and you will find that this particular restaurant has 19, yes, nineteen branches in Tokyo alone (They have branches all across Japan!). The amazing thing about this restaurant is that if you're REALLY on a budget, you can go between 5 am and 11 am (most branches are open 24 hours, if not till really late) and order a 'Natto Breakfast' for 390 yen. What you'll get is a portion of natto (fermented soybeans... it tastes better than it sounds), some seaweed, miso soup, a raw egg, a piece of tofu and here's where the best deal is: You can refill your bowl of rice, and eat as much rice as you like till... kingdom come. There's also complementary pickles on the table that goes well with the rice. If you're REALLY not into natto... then go for the next cheapest set, which is the fried egg set at 470 yen. I have survived for months in Tokyo on a 1000 yen a day budget with this hack. If you time it well, and get the cheapest set just right at 10:45 am or something, with enough rice (the rice is REALLY delicious) and pickles, it should last you the entire day. Intermittent fasting is great for you! You don't have to eat ALL the time! Here is the menu. www.yayoiken.com/en_files/regular_menu_pdf/31_2019.10Regular_EN.pdf?id=1481

Always nice to see people smiling and be happy.

[@SimplyHonestLiving]

Mobile wifi, Passmo, and metro app were lifesavers. I miss TOKYO!!!! ❤️🇯🇵

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Mom On A Mission Right?! Yay! :D

[@lawnmowerpants]

The next time anyone asks me for tips about travelling to Japan, I am just going to throw this link at them. These tips are on point! I actually sat across in the subway from you guys once, last year. Wish I said hello!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Isabelle H WHAT! That's crazy! Always say hi! :D

[@axjmd]

Super important and how could you forget. Prepare yourself for earthquakes. Familiarize yourself of what to do if you are from an area that isn't prone to earthquakes but, if you're from California and have experienced many earthquakes such as myself, then you can take your experience with you to Japan.

[@cassandraong9589]

Great tips! It's my dream to travel to Japan :) I recently did 28 hours of flying and a couple things that I now consider essential for long flights are: noise-cancelling headphones and/or ear plugs, hand sanitiser, toothbrush & toothpaste, an extra top that I can fold up easily (I always feel gross after a long flight), facial wipes, an extra pair of warm socks for during the flight, and I wear shoes that are comfortable and easy to remove for security. And drinking a tonne of water during the flight definitely makes me feel more refreshed post-flight! :)

[@KenStentiford]

07:37 My biggest worry. You say it's easy. That look to the left tells me otherwise 😂

[@johndavidjudeii]

Definitely one of the better Japan travel videos here on KZbin. Good job!

[@everlong22803]

Yes!! I'm so happy you did this. My husband & I just booked a flight to Japan and we are spending two weeks wandering around the country so this was awesome.

[@silviahernandez6789]

Hey, Jesse! I'm going to Japan in two days (I'm so excited!) and have referred back to this video multiple times to plan out my trip. Thank you for all the helpful tips, especially the ATM/7-11!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Silvia Hernandez You're welcome! Hope your trip was awesome! :D

[@ImJumPmaNx]

Nice audible plug! Might actually try it out for my flight. Never listened to anyone else's audible ads.

[@coolrottie2565]

you have almost discribed every trip i've taken to Tokyo apart from pocket wifi and my flight time ( 7hr flight 7hr stop over 7hr flight ) and time diff is almost the same as Japan for me. When i first went to Tokyo i spent ages looking at Google earth street view so i knew where i was going before i got to Tokyo, it helped alot.

[@myronkotaishi2536]

GREAT video, Very Helpful!!! I've been in Japan 11 times and what you tell is 10000000% True! Best regards from Greece!

[@annaleeandjesse]

thanks! :D

[@dandelion1995]

Thank you!! This is so much help! The rail app will help so much! We got one for when we went to New York and it saved our lives!

[@ladyfett3801]

I'm leaving for Japan in 4 weeks and this video was IMMENSELY helpful. Thank you sooo so much!

[@philippena5975]

Totally YES on the pocket wifi; although, usually you can get them for free if you stay with an Airbnb that provides one. Two additional tips (based on my trip 2 weeks ago as of this writing): 1.) Assuming your bank debit card charges for foreign exchanges - using an ATM even at a 7-11 in Japan isn't ideal; unless you don't mind being charged about $5-$10 with every withdrawal. Instead, withdraw as much money from your US bank ATM, exchange maybe enough for transportation and food to Tokyo from the airport (say ¥1000 or less at your local airport...maybe even far less like ¥500). Go to Tokyo and find a "Tax Free" shop (there's a lot of them...not as many as 7-11s but still a lot) and see if they have an automated "'Money Exchange" machine (I found one in Akihabara, Tokyo near the JR station exit there)...exchange majority of your money in those machines (you will get more bang for your buck). DO NOT go exchange majority of your money via money exchange companies...they will RIP you off big time! You are better off just using the 7-11 ATMs if you don't want to bother doing this tip. NOTE: If you have enough time to plan ahead, you can probably save more money and extra hassle by simply opening an account with Charles Schwab which DOESN'T charge ATM fees even in Japan (there's others as well). I didn't plan ahead and didn't have time to open one so the above tip is only if you don't have time. It is really annoying having to carry around cash all the time and the Japanese don't like folding the cash either (a sign of disrespect I'm told)...it's far more convenient just using a debit card or card in general and most vendors there do accept credit/debit cards. 2.) If you plan on venturing outside of Tokyo like say Osaka (which I highly recommend) and/or eat REAL Kobe "wagyu" beef in Kobe (sadly eating Yoshinoya beef bowl in Kobe doesn't count lol)...GO INVEST in a JR Pass. Yes the $271 price tag is hard to swallow for a 7-day pass (they have a 14-day one that's more expensive). But it actually saves you money because using those Shinkansen bullet trains isn't cheap (could cost you $100+ one way!!!). Overall, it's a lot easier going to Japan today than prior to the advent of Google Translate - so just enjoy being slightly illiterate and be respectful and friendly and you will find people there who won't mind helping you if you're lost. Japan is fun and I can't wait to go back hopefully soon.

[@melaniebrown7463]

I just paid $249 for my 7 day JR Pass.

[@ironwolfosiris]

I'm traveling to Tokyo and Nagoya in April! Decided to search on KZbin for travel info and I bookmarked this video and subscribed. Thanks for the information :D

[@kko52200]

Awesome tip video! Just came back from a trip in March...my first time there. I agree, really helps to be prepared BEFORE you leave. I admit we didn't prepare as thoroughly as we should have, but info we did have before the trip like online knowledge of train station lines, Suica cards, transport to and from Narita airport, staying in hotel near station proved invaluable. Thank you for the video!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Lori Okazaki you're welcome!

[@VictorFursov]

Thank you very much! Very interesting! Good luck and best wishes! I love Japan!

[@ebbrenner]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing the information you gave great tips. I am intending to travel to Japan next year and I've already been planning everything.

[@milenuez]

This video was so helpful, I'm not going soon to Japan but the basics of this video will apply for every trip. Thanks for the information! Hugs from Costa Rica ♥️

[@EvaUnit_01]

Followup vid suggestion: favorite places to eat in Tokyo! Also your Tokyo vlogs always give me life! Yaaas!

[@nowgaku]

I know you had a lots of experiences in Tokyo than me, I'm Japanese live in Kyoto and I love you both.

[@coolrottie2565]

your spot on about the Shibuya excel hotel, stayed there 6 times and I love it and its perfect for the train.

[@tiffanyn3718]

Doing Japan in May. Can't wait.

[@123bobo321gp]

This was super informative! Even though I'm not going to Japan your tips are some solid travel hacks

[@MarcSisco]

Having a plug converter/adapter is very important for a wall outlet. Electronic devices from your country won't work without one.

[@redfish337]

Just depends on where you're from and what you're charging.

[@mushy1364]

Having one with a surge protector it probably a good idea too.

[@carolefreeman2544]

North American's do not need an adapter/converter

[@tylerdurden6882]

Totally depends on where you're from and what you're bringing.

[@DanYellowZena]

Great tips! This is very basic and common sense info to me but its unbelievable how bad some people plan their trips and then are totally unorganized and ended having a crappy trip. Once I get used to a place, then I end up planning less. But going to a place, I ALWAYS make a check list of the things I need and want to bring along.

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Dan Zena Exactly - I'm pretty shocked at how little people plan!

[@Aleman102]

Thanks a lot you are helping me figure out some extra things i wouldn't have thought to get that are so useful!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Alex You're welcome!

[@db2able]

I pretty much did what you said, minus the pocket wifi. Which I'll be getting this time, when I go back. Great job on the video. Very helpful hints for people that will be visiting Japan.

[@thisisreallyverysilly]

Super important to do research...some stuff like the Imperial Palace (Tokyo or Kyoto) need prior arrangements and some like the Ghibli museum don't sell tickets on site and they need to be purchased months in advance. Also, check out the schedules for stuff like Kabuki, baseball, sumo etc... there may be cultural fun stuff that is time sensitive...Kabuki is generally easy to see...sumo likely needs tickets purchased months in advance...the Japanese are lovely, but very inflexible and rule oriented and a lot of things need advance planning.

[@noshejaan7868]

How can anyone dislike this video??.. It's so informative, not just for Japan but for travelling in general. Thank you so much for the tips Jesse. Cant wait for the japan vlogs :D

[@erikjohansen9154]

Because sim card data is cheaper!!!

[@molonlabe9602]

He doesn't seem to know the difference between immigration and customs.

[@0916rebecca]

I'd love to see an example of your use of the Evernote app

[@MerelMystery]

Great video. There are many videos that are similair but this one seems most useful.

[@fridabionori]

I just bought that book, haha. I know many people think it might be silly, but I just figured I'll read it and take whatever is being said with a huge pinch of salt ;)

[@heykebe]

I already enjoyed decluttering before I read about the KonMari method, but when I found it and finished it, I felt so zen! Hope it's helping change your lives as well :-)

[@gianni2272]

Very interesting video. I definitly remember some of this. I go next summer to Tokyo God willing. I really look forward to it!

[@annaleeandjesse]

Do it! Tokyo is totally worth it.

[@ericatorres4890]

if you guys go back to shibuya, check out coco ichibanya! there's a location here in torrance but in japan that was my friend and i's fav place to go. also, our airbnb host gave us a pocket wifi device and it was so helpful! if anyone is ever booking an airbnb in japan, it helps to find the places that includes pocket wifi.

[@drewlilscottishprincess8193]

Just signed up for audible AND picked that book!! I need help with clutter!!! Thanks Jessie (and Annalee)!!

thank you very much for this video i'm in the starting process of planning a trip to japan and found this quite helpful

[@oneintenman2739]

Thank you for the great tips! You mentioned 7-11 for exchange. Which ATM's are available to use at Haneda please? And is there a 'day pass' or 'week pass' for the subway?

[@zarraxia]

Great video with solid tips. Thanks!

[@lemaniesnicket]

This was so useful, thank you! Finally, practical and applicable tips

thank you so much. the way you deliver your words is very reassuring. planning to go there october 2017

[@misskaycee9300]

SO HELPFUL.... I just ordered my pocket wifi (20% off for long term! Great deal)... And thanks for the 7/11 ATM tip, I hate to think of how many times I've been swindled at an Airport Travelex.... Thanks Jesse!

[@sorayaj.7941]

Oh yes Jesse! I have been waiting for this. Thank you.

[@Evry1LuvsJennieO]

That sounds like an amazing book. I have so much stuff and I need to know how to get it organized and/or rid of it LOL

[@koolieoh991]

solid tips!! i like that you mentioned being respectful of the place and the people around! thoughts on how much luggage to bring? like, should people just buy clothes there and bring the basics or pack enough for the whole trip?

[@jensg1498]

Fantastic video! Thanks so much for the info!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Jen SG you are welcome!

[@whereeveritgoes]

Also, it's worth spending a few minutes looking at how your hotel/Airbnb/hostel looks like from outside through Google Street View. Fly around the block and remember the buildings. It might save your time when you reach there. I did this before travelling to Hong Kong for fun and guess what? I went out of the subway and had no clue where the hotel was (Google Map was no help), I was glad I remembered seeing this big high wall next to a road near the hotel and that was basically my 'river', I walked along it and in less than 2 minutes found my hotel. :D

[@StefandeJong1]

If I can give another tip. Look up some hotels near to the airport you're landing. There's a very good chance they offer a free bus-ride from the aiport to the hotel, and vice versa.

[@whatchewdoing]

The Evernote tip is great! Thank you.

[@PigeonCarriere]

I wish Melatonin worked for me because despite taking it multiple times i cant sleep on 10 hour plus flights. excellent tips for Tokyo since i am planning on going again soon.

[@vendelaphutmoh6405]

wow great video! I wish I knew this stuff when my mom and I first went to Japan. Avoiding rush hour seems like such an obvious thing looking back but we didn't of that. We were sooo overwhelmed and my mom and I were quite socially anxious and pushed around by all the tokyo businessmen! lol. Again, such good advice.

[@leasimer6539]

Hey! Thanks for the tips. Do you recommend getting a pocket wifi over purchasing a sim card?

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Lea Simer YES! unless you need to make a lot of phone calls.

[@chelscas]

I've been waiting for this video! Planning a trip to Tokyo for October.

[@seekingthetruth3410]

awesome tips man

[@1chocochip3]

Honestly thank you..the tips were really helpful ☺️

[@candyyeung-medrano8134]

First trip to Tokyo in about 40 days. Super excited!! My younger daughter is allergic to sesame and lots of food there in Japan has it. Do you have any tip of how to avoid that? Thanks!

[@redfish337]

As it's used as an oil, it may not even be obvious. Some stuff may have it automatically even if it doesn't have sesame written on it. Frankly, you'll probably want to ask the staff every single time. ごま油 go mah ah boo rah Sesame oil Sesame can be written any of these ways. 胡麻 ごま　ゴマ　セサミ　せさみ Allergy is the same, but pronounced by Japanese rules... アレルギー. ah ray rue gyyy Probably someone can write it more fluently, but I think, print out something like this, and show it to the waitstaff every time when ordering for your daughter. ご注意：　食物アレルギー :　胡麻やごま油 Beware: food allergy: stuff like sesame and sesame oil 安全な食事をおすすめください！ (please recommend something safe) if you want to present it before ordering 注文した食事大丈夫ですか? (is what I ordered safe?) if you want to take a shot at ordering and checking with them after. Probably a better idea to show it to them first though to make sure there's even something there she can eat. And with that in mind, a lot of shops have a fairly limited selection, so make sure you at least go to a shop where you have a chance... either something where, unless they're using sesame oil to cook everything should be safe, or a place that has such variety that there should be something safe on the menu somewhere. If it's a matter of life and death, please be careful. Consider checking to see how to legally take over any emergency medication if necessary. Some restaurants may not understand completely, and are overall not used to dealing with allergies so much and may make a mistake. So please be careful!

[@GamingFoodie]

Very helpful, thank you very much! Really like the ATM at 7-11 tip. While there, you can also get great snacks or a cheap meal. I love their onigiri (rice balls)!

[@ellenjones6354]

Great tips Jesse 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@mushy1364]

You can use google maps "my maps" and pin all the places you want to go and info. We are doing this for our trip to Tokyo so we can plan days around multiple locations in certain areas. The plan is, with pocket wifi, we can go to certain parts of town, reference the map, and see multiple sites of interest without having to hop on and off the subway.

[@redfish337]

I highly suggest buying 72 hour combined TOEI/Tokyo Metro combined passes. There are definitely a few really possible walking tours, but it's also a really big city- even just around the Yamanote, which is just the city core. Hopping on and off the subway is very recommended. BUT, it's a really big city. Going back and forth across the city is NOT recommended- even by subway it can take 30 minutes just to cross the core. So, indeed, pin pin pin. Just be planning for LOGICAL subway use. This is also pretty true for Osaka, and to a lesser extent Nagoya. The other cities tend to be significantly smaller, so that the concept of going to a part of the city, and walking around a bunch of sites of interest, is much more practical. You can definitely do that for Kyoto, for example.

[@melaniebrown7463]

Thanks so much for this video! Going in September and can't wait!

[@annaleeandjesse]

+Melanie Brown you're welcome! Have fun!

[@user-dg4kj3jg2o]

For your info, the other quick immigration thing is called Customs, the one where they check your passport is called Immigration. This is standard in most countries. About the cash withdrawal, I found that even small convenience stores like Family Mart (Similar to 7/11 in Hong Kong) accept all major credit cards and even some I've never heard of. They don't mind customers paying for small purchases with their credit cards (about 600-700 Japanese Yen). Gas stations, restaurants and department stores all accept credit cards, even car parks accept credit cards. You might consider adding information about car rentals as a considerable number of visitors to Japan prefer driving around on their own, especially if your going to head out of the city. I've used Times Car Rental (www.timescar-rental.com/campaign/0000005036/en/index.html) as well as Hertz. The vehicles that I rented had Japanese and English GPS installed, the GPS is super easy to use, either type in the destination or input the landline phone number of your destination. The GPS typically guides you to your destination with minimal hassle. Prepare some cash for tolls, a few toll booths accept Visa or MasterCard, not all. Have fun talking to the friendly people and exploring the beautiful nation of Japan.

[@khalidhaniff2106]

Thanks for these awesome tips

[@Whytravelthere]

Great tips, thanks!

[@hanamy]

Thanks for the tips!! Quick question - would you recommend the JR pass or the Suica card more? I've heard a lot of good things about the Pass, but I have been wondering about the Suica card.

[@sungurliebri]

The JR pass is a great buy if you are planning to take trips outside of Toyko (i.e. Use the Shinkansen) but if you are planning to stay in the Tokyo/Yokohama area Suica is better because there are so many different train lines that are not JR and Suica can be used for pretty much all of them.

[@ronarica9684]

Ahhhh, I was one of the people who requested this video so it's awesome to see this up! 😄 thank you for the pointers, I thought they were super helpful. I'm actually going to Japan in March so this video came in just in time! I'm planning to document my trip as well. Awesome video! P.S. I also read "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying"! 😄 What did you think?

[@jahjajamie6]

Subscribed! I am going to Tokyo this June! Thanks for the helpful tips! :)

[@minimalistmin]

I would still like to see what do Jesse and Anna bring such as clothing, shoes, and make up?! :) Me and my partner love going to Japan and I try to refer from your clips but it would be great if there was an actual explanation. Thanks!

[@geoffreymariano1136]

Hi. Thanks for this informative video. 😀 Do you have another video showing the best itinerary on how to explore tokyo in the most convenient way or that will maximize my 5 full days for tour. Thanks so much. 😊

[@redfish337]

Depends on what you want to see and if you'll actually be in Tokyo the whole time. I suggest: 1) West Yamanote (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku) 2) Northeast Yamanote (Sky Tree, Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara) Then there are a few options for the other 3 days: 3) Southeast Tokyo (some of Odaiba, Ginza, Tsukiji, Tokyo Tower, Roppongi) 4) day trip to: Kamakura/Enoshima and/or Yokohama OR Hakone OR Nikkou OR Disney Sea 5) shop/rest/relax, revisit old places 6) West Yamanote expanded and/or Chuo Line- add an extra day on the West and split it North/South.... Ikebukuro and Okubo (Korea Town) up toward Shinjuku... .Ebisu, Shimokitazawa, Naka-Meguro, etc down by Shibuya. 7) Chuo Line has interesting things at Kichijoji, Koenji, Nakano- you can take a biiiig triangle route from Shibuya to Shinjuku through Kichijoji. 8) Farther west is Tachikawa, with a very large park, and farther west, Mt. Takao to the southwest, and Okutama to the far northwest, for the nature lover. 9) Expanded northeast Yamanote- Ryogoku, and Yanaka area can be added to make this a 2 day itinerary. You'll have to research what is in each area for yourself, considering what you actually want to see.. ... but these are some vague regional cutoffs to help you plan.

[@stevetu3873]

+Steve K Tu you're welcome!

[@TheJonbonesjones]

What if I’m traveling alone? Should I still get a pocket WiFi?

[@jlgrathwol]

Starting to plan my 4 days in Tokyo. I'd like full and/or half days with a guide some of the time there. Are there particular neighborhoods more confusing than others? IE-Marunouchi and Nihombashi are quieter, so self guided would be better. However, a guide for Shinjuku and Harajuku is recommended. Thanks!

[@silvafiorella]

I read that book, it is awesome!!!!

[@wausauness]

Such a helpful video!

[@HelenaCheryl]

Loved these tips could you maybe do a follow up of your favourite places to go to there/ things to do

[@michaelreitz7946]

A follow up video on top things to do and see would be appreciated. Listing your favorite places to eat, tourist attractions, malls etc. would be helpful to someone planning a trip.

Hi Jesse! Hope you can share a link to your Evernote?

[@katrinalopezz]

Hello! how about Golden Week? Have you experienced traveling during Golden Week?

[@strikkelises]

Great tips, thank you! Also, a lot of those tips are useful just about anywhere. (Look around you, see how others behave. Yeah)

[@makeu2happy]

Many good tips. Thanks :-) I have about.9 weeks and my fligh start. I was change money already etc...

[@keikeishiaaa]

Hey Jesse! These tips are great! I am thinking of travelling to Japan with my boyfriend this December. Is there any hotel that you recommend for us to stay in Tokyo? What are some of your and Anna's favorite restaurants out there? Thanks!:)

[@honnieb810]

HI!! how was the pocket wifi you used? would you recommend? i've seen a lot of different pocket wifi's being advertised, but i'm going to Japan at the end of March and definitly need to order one soon :) thanks!

[@redfish337]

Telecom companies change their devices and plans all the time, and so companies that offer pocket wifi have to change all the time too. Soo... unlike a lot of stuff where you can pretty much just go with what you did last time... you just have to shop around every time for this.

[@xaiiSsa]

Interesting video! Hope to someday visit Tokyo/Japan :)
