Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
Ooh thank you for the lovely comment 😊 I actually bought it from a BookOff Super Bazaar (a second-hand store in Japan) so I'm not sure what brand it is, sorry!
The rainy season commences in the middle of June, lasting for about a month. However, you can avoid this annoying weather by going to Okinawa or Hokkaido. I’d recommend these you guys!!
7:00 There is also a lot of video game specific cafes, if you have any interest in Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest the two are good cafes generally IMO. Themed very well.
I also suggest night time photography in the rain. My best photo from my last trip was the front of a back street izakaya and a lady with an umbrella walked just into frame at the last split second. Created a ghostly impression...
Great Suggestions. I was there last week where it seemed it was almost Typhon-like conditions. One of those days was Disney, line times were about half normal. So if you are willing to get a bit wet, places like Disney are actually pretty good.
Got my Suica card yesterday at JR East Travel Svc Cte in Tokyo stn. Do note there is a strict 1 card per person policy so bring your entire family if you intend to get for everyone...and also passports too, just in case. Children fare cards are however sold at another office 1 level below. Thanks Aimee
Visiting Tokyo in 4 days! these videos have been such a big help and have really relieved my anxiety, its my first time ever travelling and Im doing it alone
Going to Japan in Sept 2024 (60 days). Will the card in apple wallet still work if I get it now? Is there a time limit on how long the balance will stay valid?
The BEST way to pay as you go in Japan the public train transportation it is easy every where don’t listen to this RU-vid video I am the one to listening to her and purchased 2 tickets it not worked for me when you return it you loose for the agent website you will pay fee for 25% pay at you go is the best with JRPass or even suica card at the airport a lot off helping people stand around at the kiosks help for purchase the tickets BEST BEST pay as you go that my experience last Feb 2024 🍁
hey guys nice video!! we will be in Japan from 5 to 20 of September.. i don't mind about the typhoons..we will stay in for one day if we have to.. i am worried about the heat.. i ve heard that the tempature still remains on a high level...is like August.. or is better that time ..
I’m also going at the same time as you. I too am a little concerned about the heat but I’ve read posts in other places that said their trip in September was just great. If it’s incredibly hot (and I am used to heat but hate humidity) I plan to start our days fairly early. Also you can buy cooling wipes that are menthol smelling and cooling, plus a little fan which helps a lot 😀
While a lot of the country will start to cool down in September, it can still be quite hot in in the cities, like Tokyo. @annemaas5947 has some great suggestions for keeping cool! We'd also suggest, you could also use a parasol/umbrella to keep the sun off you 😊
This is only in the "popular areas". Venture off into the middle parts that you dont hear much about 🙂 when it's too hot, go to the beachy areas or the valleys. When it's rainy, bring a rainjacket. Cold is not an issue. All public areas are mega heated to the point where you don't need a shirt. Happy travelling ✌️
tbh at this rate Japan is crowded all year round due to viral videos and weak currency 😔 i honestly enjoyed my summer trip last year way more than the trip i had 2 weeks ago
I got approched by an old guy wearing glasses and his voice like a robot with no pinkie . Words on the street are saying his name is Kuze . Am i fucked or not?
I will go to one of these kind of Izakayas, but frankly, the kind I'm most excited for is the very small, cramped kind, where you are just sitting next to the 60 year old japanese salary man, or some other local. I crave that close, conversational atmosphere, and even if you barely speak any japanese at all, you'd be surprised at just how much you can still convey to one another despite language differences.
This video is very helpful...thank you! Ninja Wifi and Japan Wireless do not have pickup counters at Osaka Airport (ITM). Do you know which vendor has the counter at this airport?
