Hello, I've been watching a lot of your videos lately because we're taking our 1st trip over to Tokyo. Thank you for all the insight! I do have a question, I'm not sure if you can answer or not. I plan on hiking Mount Fuji. I plan on purchasing one of the walking sticks where they brand the stick with a "stamp" as you go to each station up the mountain. I would like to know what the procedure may be to getting that onto the plane for the travel home, and whether I need to check it, or if it's even possible at all. Not sure if you'll know or if you've seen this occur on your travels. Anywho, thanks again for all your help so far!!

I'm going next week, thanks for the tips!

Everything makes perfect sense to me and it also makes me feel like less of a lunatic for checking how long it’ll take from the hotel where I’m staying to get to certain places 😂

This is definitely giving me a peace of mind that im doing the right thing to research and learn everything prior my arrival in Japan in just less than 3 months (cant believe is so close now) What im stressed now is booking all my activities as the big thing like flights and hotels are all settled. Your videos have been so helpful and cant thank you enough even watch your Japan haul and saw few items I might grab to try myself.

Loves all the tips and these are so helpful, thank you

If you take the eSim, can you share it via mobile hotspot?

Sh*t!! Number one I’ve already failed at! 😀

I just booked a flight to Japan for a week mid October for my birthday. Thankful I landed here

Fantastic advice. Taking it slow is definitely the way to go. I was too quick out the gate on my first visit. I've adjusted on recent visits.
🙂👍

I feel like the advice about social media is relevant for any trip and any country. Whenever someone tells me they found a city or attraction underwhelming, it usually ends up that it wasn't in their interests to begin with, but the internet told them it was a "must see".

Also, agree on reserving train tickets. A lot of people online will tell you that outside of holidays, you can just show up and you don't need to reserve. And while that's true, you might get unlucky and have to wait for the next train or so, or end up having to stand for the whole ride in the unreserved car. Not ideal if you are carrying all your bags or are on a strict schedule.

Trip planned for in a few months, thanks for all the handy hints!!

Can you use ESIMs if you have US phone? Usually locked. Thanks!

Recently went to Japan. Definitely didn’t research as much as i could’ve. One was that while money exchanges were common in certain areas of tokyo. Getting money from an atm and just paying the atm fee was cheaper (gave more value per dollar) than the actual exchanges. Also a lot easier to find depending on where you’re at.

Also seriously recommend travel light. Laundry mats do exist and are open pretty late. So just wash clothes while there and buy some outfits if you must. Its not that big of a deal to have a check in, but was more cumbersome than it needed to be if i went carry on only 😅

Hi, I'm traveling solo to Tokyo. Any suggestions on a travel guide who'd pick me up at airport and show me the sites for a few days? Thank you!

You don't have to bring so many clothes as you can always go to uniqlo or GU buy clothes there. As they always have clothes for the season you are there for. And going to different regions of Japan, it's pretty cool to get different ic cards as the one for Hokkaido has a flying possum on it.

where and when to reserve the seats? is there a website to it?
