Yes you can take the tour at Uonuma no Sato even if you do not speak Japanese (the guide only speaks Japanese though but you can still enjoy whats shown in the tour)
Do Japanese like native Texans? Me and my buddy plan on visiting next year and we will respect their culture, just want to make sure we are still welcomed!
Thanks for sharing this video I have a question is it possible too doing this side trip in 1 day? Because my hotel is in Osaka I can not sleeping somewhere there in Mt Koya??
Good tips, thanks! Apparently, the smartEX app don't work with credit card outside of Japon? Maybe it's working with the IC card as you explain in the video.
Hi. Do You know if I Can pay by suica for Hiroshima shuttle to the airport ? And as well for fujisan train , shinkansen to Kyoto ? Thank You for replaying Weronika
Yes, Suica can be used on Hiroshima airport buses and the Fujikyu train. As for shinkansen, it is a little bit more complicated and explained in the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N-Lz88WOHK8.htmlfeature=shared&t=241 or on the following page: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2018.html#ic
I want to visit Fukui Prefectural museum on this July, could you inform me how to buy tiket from fukui prefectural website on detials, since I'm not japanese? Thank you for your video very helpfull
It seems like the Welcome IC card will most likely cost more than the regular card. The deposit is only $3. I doubt I'd be able to plan my trips well enough to keep my remaining balance below $3.
Great video. Thanks. Question(s). If I buy a jr travel pass, I wouldn't need a IC card? Or at least not use it as much? Therefore if I have a IC card, how much do I put on it, and can I top it up via the app on my phone!? Cheers.
It depends on how much you will be using the IC cards. For example, if you use non-JR trains in Tokyo, you may be spending a few hundred yen per day. But if you make a more major side trip with a non-JR train (e.g. Nankai Railway to Koyasan), it could be a few thousand yen. Note also that the cards can be used to make payments at many shops and restaurants across Japan and can be a handy payment method.
i have suica that i purchase around 10-12 years ago. the last time i used them are just before covid closed down in january 2020. can i still use them?
