Travel tips to save your trip to Japan...

[@monkgaming4625]

Japanese person here, sometimes if you need a taxi there are designated places where you just hold your hand up and they come to you, no need to check

[@thehitobito]

Thanks!

[@nilmerg]

the taxis get so expensive in tokyo, but man, they are also soooo comfortable, clean, & convenient! taking one to the airport after packing full bags to take home is the best way to get there!

[@anttikivikero3755]

I was in Kyoto 2023 and the driver only knew Japanese. Luckily I knew enough to get us going 😊. It was cheap, too! Just learn the basics of the language and you're good to use taxis.

[@Inky_wt]

holy shit! japanese live in the future! ive never heard of something so advanced before

basically like every other country

[@neptunians]

those were actually really helpful! especially the taxi being green taken and red being free. thanks!

hi

[@riatuan]

Ikrrrr, I mean how come green means taken while red means available 😭

[@anhsu4854]

​@@riatuanmy best guess is red means empty and green means moving?

[@agumon1605]

​@@anhsu4854so their traffic light goes like that as well, neat

[@kakterius]

​@@riatuan it's just cultural, when they grade tests a red "O" means success and a "X" means errors and the traffic lights are more of a blue(go) instead of green

Japan in mid-summer is just as "enjoyable" weather-wise as Manila at that time of year. If you love sweating like a roasting pig, enjoy! Hokkaido is an exception, however: lovely weather most of the year except for Siberia-like winters. Fall, winter, and spring are just fine, BTW.

[@waterclawplayz6725]

They are a breed of deer which is considered sacred messages of the gods

They're polite until you run out of cookies. These deer WILL chase you if they think you're holding out on them.

[@davidlang1125]

You’ve mistakened caution with politeness. Anthropomorphism is a trap.

[@raerohan4241]

They can actually be really aggressive with you if they think you have treats. If you go, try to go further into the park where fewer people go - the deer there are much nicer.

[@Ahlurglgr]

They aren't tho The ones that bow to you are the ones that will headbutt you if you don't give them a cracker. And the more a deer bow the more aggressive it is

[@elizabethc7699]

You may also want to mention that Japanese Taxi can be really expensive. If public transportation is closed, people rather stay somewhere than taking taxi home.

Japanese here.Taxis with white license plates are　basically illegal. However, in some areas, the government has introduced ride-sharing services on a trial basis. but still it is illegal in most cases and you may be asked for an exorbitant price, so it is safe not to use a taxi with a white license plate.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Yeah especially since being somewhat quiet is still the something most people know as an unspoken law and adhere to, and then there's always one person having a *literal video call* on a train or some "Asis" watching a video on full blast and everyone else giving them a hard side eye.

​@@FetidafOK, green is yes this taxi is working, red is no this taxi is not working See how you can easily flip around negatives and positives? It's all a matter of perspective

[@Fetidaf]

@@Alucard-gt1zf but the perspective should be from the person viewing the light… the positive in that case would be “you can ride in me”, the negative being “ -I’ve got a boyfriend- … you can’t” Why would the perspective of the driver or taxi itself (who can’t see it) be the default perspective? That doesn’t make any sense

Seriously, the cold drinks from vending machines practically saved me during my trip to Japan last summer. It was sooooo hot and I was sweating so much, but thankfully there's one of those vending machines like on every corner. Sadly I drank so much to stay hydrated I couldn't eat much delicious food...

The rain can be so warm that you can walk in it without an umbrella. You get soaked and not feel cold.

Yeah, ppl from more southern states will do much better in Japan summers. I had some family from the north tell us how unbearable the late spring / early summer was and that we shouldn't book our tickets for Aug. But we did anyway and it was fine. Coming from Texas, it felt like a pretty normal summer, just a touch bit more humid but nothing crazy to us.

There is no difference in humidity and only a couple degrees different in the summer, the difference is how long Wisconsin has to deal with "living in Biloxi' as it were. Sometimes between the great lakes and the corn sweat it seems even worse.

Best piece of advise. Immerse yourself in the culture, go to public demonstrations, ask why things are done in the manner they are, walk or take a rickshaw if you can and talk to to the operator (they know all the cool spots), take a day trip on the train system to anywhere and explore. Climb Mt Fuji if able and enjoy the warm camomile tea at the new 5th station it is delicious and absolutely worth every ache and pain you earned from the climb!
