Nobody tells you 50 Travel Tips for Japan First Traveler | 2023 Guide for Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka
When you travel in Japan, you might be confused in some cases how to behave. For example, you don't need to pay tips at restaurants or hotels because Japan does't have tipping culture. Another example is when you step a escalator, standing on the left side is unspoken rule in Tokyo. However, when you travel in Osaka and Kyoto, you will see completely opposite (people are standing on the right side). Watch this video before coming to Japan and master Japanese culture and customs.

4:38 Suica and Pasmo for Travelers are No Longer Available due to its lack of semiconductors in Japan. Instead, it's a good option to use Welcome Suica when you travel to Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. Get one at JR EAST Travel Service Center or Midori no Madoguchi. Make sure you cannot get one in Osaka or Kyoto! Get one at a measure area such as Narita airport, Tokyo sta, Shinjuku sta, around Tokyo first
6:27 FYI: There is also Uber service in Japan, but there is NO Uber service just like in the US. In other words, there is no private car in Japan. Technically speaking, if you want to be an Uber driver in Japan, you need to get permission from MLIT. Therefore, most of the drivers belong to a company.That's why, Uber service is a little different from the US!

Transcript:
You're joining me in a very special city. Let’s start with my preconceptions: I expected Japan’s capital, and home to the world’s largest urban population to be over the top and really in your face, with neon lights and anime at every turn and i certainly wasn’t disappointed. The streets are lined with towering, multi-storey buildings, each filled with mind bending department stores and arcades, offices to some of the world’s biggest brands and restaurants serving the best food you’ll ever taste.
But despite all the apparent madness and chaos, spend a few days in Tokyo and it just makes sense. Here, efficiency is an art form. Japanese attention to detail is legendary, and it runs through everything, from food to public transport and urban planning. And yes, even the toilets.
This trip was an educational and weirdly enlightening experience. I’ve been lucky to visit a lot of amazing places making these videos, but Tokyo is in a league of its own.
So Tokyo, it’s big, it’s busy and it’s brilliant. As ever, let’s start with the airports.
Flying from the UK you’ll come into one of Tokyo’s two major international airports, Haneda or Narita. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that Tokyo is a really long way away, direct flights from Europe will take a whopping 12 hours for the nine and a half thousand kilometre journey.
So you’ve got Haneda airport which is roughly 13 miles south of the city, and then you’ve got 50 miles east. Fortunately, both are really easy to get to noisy noisy Tokyo. Here’s what you need to know.
From Haneda you have three main options, the airport limousine bus, a taxi or the monorail. The airport limousine takes between 30 and 45 minutes, stopping at most major hotels in the centre of town, with prices increasing for the night service between midnight and 5am.
A taxi should take about half and hour depending on traffic, with prices depending where you’re being dropped off. There’s also a 20% extra charge between 10pm and 5am.
However the quickest option is the airport’s dedicated monorail. It’ll get you into Hamamatsucho station in 13 minutes and from here you can connect to the circular Yamanote metro line to reach other parts of the city.
The metro runs between 9 and 7 on weekdays and then 9 to 5 on weekends and public holidays. That’s Haneda! Here’s what you need to know about Narita.
Narita is a whopping 50 miles east of Tokyo, so all of your transport options are going to take a while. The Airport Limousine bus and taxis runs from Narita but both will take anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to reach central Tokyo. Instead, take the JR Narita Express. It’ll whisk into town in a little under an hour, and with this being Japan, the trains are on time and super efficient.
A word of warning about getting home; if you’re flight’s on a Sunday, make sure you check the train times because there’s a reduced service. Check your departure time, and then allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport.
Unspoken RULES of Japan - What I wish I Knew Before Coming
You DON'T Need to worry about Traveling to Japan, but you DO Need to know some these simple unspoken RULES when you come to Japan, Japanese culture is based on avoiding a scene and confrontations so they usually WON'T tell you if you're doing something unacceptable on your Japan Trip. I have lived in Japan for many years, and these are what I wish someone would have told me before I moved here, some might be obvious but others will surprise you and help guide you so you can enjoy Japan and it's amazing culture! (Also be sure to tell me your own travel tips in the comments!)

1- Etiquette:
Japanese have a specific way to do everything -- as a foreigner you'll probably get a pass
Types of bowing
Greetings
How to sit
How to hand things with 2 hands
Levels of politeness
Happy to help -- and sometimes they will really go out of their way to help you.
2- Language:
Japanese of course! Different Dialects throughout.
English in the big cities
Japanese may seem like they don't know English.. they are just Shy.
Tokyo,Osaka,Kyoto public transport signed in English
Not so much in the suburbs
Good to have your hotel and destinations written in Japanese
Don't know Japanese? Just try the English variant
Hamburger
Coffee - Cohhe
Good to learn some basic Japanese
Biru Kudasai
3- Timeliness:
Being on time is very important
Stores close and open promptly
Bullet trains have to run within 15 seconds of their posted schedule
Dinner Reservations be on time.
5 mins before and they may not seat you.
Distance often measured in walking time
Japan is just one time zone
Calendar is different
4- Public Transportation:
It's amazing
Be aware of rush hour and the last train time
Little luggage storage -- Luggage shipping services
Train stations are amazing too.
But confusing.
Remain calm. Take the next train
Coin Lockers!
But watch my video
JR Pass
Driving -- I've got a video on that too
But don't drive in the big cities
The Limousine Bus is just a bus.
No Uber.. taxis though! Let the taxi driver open the door.
Bicycling - Can be fun.. park in a legal spot. Ride on sidewalks.
5- Food:
Noodles, Sushi and Yakitori
Slurp your noodles
Katsu Don
Ten Don
Pepper Lunch
Pudding!
Matcha Everything
Fruit ( Strawberry, Cantaloupe)
Give it a try!
It doesn't all have to be expensive.
Watch my cheap eats video
English menu
Point at the food in the window (or take a picture of it)
Vending Machines to order
Izakaya -- Japanese Pub -- Time limit
Tatami Restaurants -- sit on the floor, take off your shoes
Standing restaurants (Sushi, Steak)
Convience Stores
Department Stores
Pancakes for dinner
Maid Cafes
Robot Restaurant
6- Money:
Cash is King! Credit not accepted much.
Yen
Bills / Coins
Always put your money in the Tray
Change comes back in a Tray
With 2 hands
Japan is probably the cheapest country in the developed world. The only comparable countries are Portugal and Taiwan.
Stay at Toyoko Inn and eat at 7-11 and Yoshinoya
7- Tipping:
They don't do it
It's actually considered rude
8- Trash:
There are very few public trash cans
Watch my video for more details
9- Toilets:
Some squat toilets
Toto toilets are Amazing!
Sometimes called Washlet or Ostomat
If water runs when you sit on it you didn't break it
Great way to clean yourself, dryer, music,heat
Usually no paper towels, carry a handtowel
Toilet slippers - just for the toilet
If it is a squat toilets:
Face the right way, usually in the direction of the porcelain hood. Note point “A” in the diagram. Avoid this common mistake: Don’t go over the hole – by going over the opposite end (the end without the hole), you avoid any sort of splashing or the like.
10 - Hotels:
Small. Functional. Clean. Tired.

WHEN TO VISIT JAPAN (and when NOT to!) ???? seasons, dates, advice | japan travel guide
Watch this to know when to AVOID coming to Japan and when the best times of year are for travel!
After living in Japan for five years, the importance surrounding the contrast of the different seasons has rubbed off on me ???? So now I'm here today to tell you what the best times of year I think are to visit Japan and the ones you ABSOLUTELY should avoid if possible!! There are a lot of holidays not reflected on the calendar so it's very easy for tourists to accidentally come during a bad time of year and as a result their trip isn't as good...don't get me wrong, if your trip happens to be in one of the bad times of year to visit, you will still have a great time, but everything will...require more planning, let's say ????
What do you think? Let me know if there are any more times you'd like to mention down below or let me how your trip to Japan was and what time of year you've visited in if you've come before!!

Must-Do Things Before Flying to Japan
Japan Travel Guide and Must Know Tips Before Flying to Japan. These are the Must-do things you should know before flying to Japan before it's too late. Japan Travel for some is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to make sure you are prepared before coming to Japan. Knowing what you can do and what you need to prepare before coming to Japan will help you save time and money as well as ensure that you don't miss some of the things that you want to do. Having a proper data plan and getting a SIM card in Japan, reserving Michelin restaurants, purchasing a JR Pass, booking that onsen ryokan hotel, getting Tokyo Disney resort plans sorted, purchasing sumo and Japanese baseball tickets, bringing prescription medicine to Japan and evening sorting out your Japan visa for the trip are all things you should consider before flying to Japan. In this video, I go through the details and provide all the necessary links so you don't miss out on anything for your trip in Japan.
