These Top 10 Japan Travel Tips are based on what I wish I knew before moving to Japan. This serves as a Japan Guide for travelers planning Japan travel and what to do when stopped by a Japanese Police officer. This Tokyo guide also shows what not do in Japan as well as things not do in Japan based on Japanese culture. These Japanese Travel Tips cover Tattoos in a Japanese Onsen, Non-tipping culture, riding the train in Japan, Wifi in Japan, Japanese Hotels, Japanese Police, etc. Basically, these are the things to know before going to Japan. More information is listed below.

SIM CARD
Another options is to get a SIM card for your unlocked mobile device. You can go to most major electronics store and they should carry it. There are a few options, but I’ll cover the 2 basic types that I think is the best for travelers.
(1) SIM card with a daily data transfer limits 220mb per day. You can get it for 7 days or 15 days.
(2) SIM cards with a total data transfer limit of 1.5 Gb or 3GB that work for 30 day period. It doesn’t have a daily transfer limit which I personally prefer. And if I use up all the data in only a few days, you can just buy a new card.

Great video brother! I was digging the graffiti street art, is there much street art in Shibuya or Shinjuku? The legal drinking age in Australia is actually 18! :D (younger than the U.S) The legal driving age in Australia is 18 though (so a little older than the U.S) I'm moving to Shinjuku for a semester of studying abroad and one of the things I want to try is go-karting the streets of Tokyo. Have you tried it and if not, do you want to come to give it a try with us and you could make a video of it? I'd like to see that brother haha Keep up the good work bro, cheers :D P.S. I also, wanted to say thank you very much to Maiko for the tattoo friendly onsen list. :D I really appreciate it. I was just wondering, if possible would you be able to make a list for Osaka (near Namba) and Kyoto please Maiko???? >.

My Japanese police story: I took a train to Sakuradamon station on November 10, 2019. Little did I realize they were having a major parade celebrating the enthronement of the new Emperor that day. A whole bunch of exits are blocked by numerous police, and when I finally make it above ground, I see a big security checkpoint. At the time I'm carrying a roller suitcase as well as a backpack because I stayed in a different hotel each night I was in Tokyo. I decide "What the heck?" and get in line to get into the parade. A few officers are walking back and forth in this super long line carrying signs showing what not to have - including suitcases. I start freaking out, but then someone assures me that they'll just be checking my suitcase, so I stick it out. I get to the checkpoint and am searched head to foot, with them checking every pocket and every area of both my suitcase and backpack. It was the nicest total search I've ever had. I'm totally cooperative because at this point I just want to get to see the Emperor, so they were very polite with me. As I'm about to leave, one of the officers (who spoke very good English) tells me: "When the cars pass, you can have your smartphone out as well as the Japanese flag. If you put your hands in your pockets, someone will escort you out." I took this threat very seriously and got to see the Emperor, which was awesome. Moral of the story: just do what you're told if you're not doing anything suspicious, and all will work out!

Having been to Japan in February, I was surprised by how well the trains worked. I didn't ever really encounter a sardine crunch moment but that's mainly because I took the trains at the right time. Generally you only want to take the train at like, 9:30am since a lot of places only actually OPEN at 10am so generally if you're not working then you'll be dodging the rush hour

@BarryWarne
@BarryWarne 4 года назад
I liked pretty much all the etiquette when I was there recently. Being quiet on trains in Tokyo, walking on the left whenever possible, just the all around polite, respectfully mindful and considerate behavior is something that suits me. And the etiquette does loosen or relax in other cities away from Tokyo like say, Osaka which seems to have a kind of "vacation" vibe to some parts of it (away from the residential areas). I think overall it's best to say formality and etiquette varies, best to see what the overall vibe of a place is, and note that the vibe can change as you move from something like a tourist area into a more residential area. Of note for those staying in Airbnb homes for example. There is a lot of great peace and quiet throughout Japan that I really appreciated. Even when most crowded ~ and it was surprising how quickly you could go from a crowded area to someplace almost empty of people. Like a park or small residential street. Wonderful, really. Stay mindful and you'll have a great time.

Here in united States, most waiters survive on 7.50 an hour and hope to get tips. Tbh American system is backward, why won’t they make food more expensive so waiters can have a stable income? Rather than paying them shit and hope that customers are generous enough to give waiters some spare change.

I think Japanese police are quite chill. I had two encounters with police while in Tokyo and they were very friendly. One was that I was walking around and drinking in public. As you mentioned in the video it's common courtesy to stay in one place and drink and eat. The cop looked at my ID said "Ah, America!" and proceeded to tell me to just stay and one place to finish my beer and went on his way. The other time was because my girlfriend and I were sprinting drunkenly through Arakawa-ku around 11pm at night. She was ahead of me and I guess someone found that suspicious. A police car scoured the area and stopped us because we were the only gaijins in the area. They checked our ID's, asked us where we were staying, checked my back pack and wished us a goodnight and just told us to be a little more courteous. No biggie and they were super polite.

I went to Japan with my family for the first time this summer. I was in a group that included 5 adults and 3 children. It was a rainy evening. We exited the subway station and started to walk to the bus stop when we were stopped by the police on their bicycles. They asked my brother in law for his id and they were asking where we were going. The police men all passed his passport around to look at. I was quite nervous because of the communication barrier. The police had us follow them and we complied even when we didn't really know what was going on. I thought they were going to take us to the station, but they ended up just walking us to the bus stop we needed to be at lol. I believe it's because my brother in law looked suspicious. He's a Japanese-American who is buff and has tattoos and he can't speak any Japanese. So I wouldn't be surprised if he was the reason we were stopped hehe :)

But honestly, we start around 14 or even earlier. Other liquors like whisky, cognac etc is available from an age of 18 though. You can even sit in the subway in the evening, having a beer to go.... It wouldn't be considered to be rude. I would say, from my own perspective, that the high school years and maybe the first 2 or 3 semester at uni are quite boozy in Germany.

I know I did some things wrong after watching your videos, but I actually did spend quite a bit of time learning about the culture and what to do and not do. Several people asked me if I had lived in Japan before? I realize now what a compliment that was. Really I think all I did different than my friends was my body language , and keeping my voice low ( not in my nature as I am from a big family in the states); and also I tried not to look people directly in the eye for very long. Sort of a deferential body language, which surprisingly came very naturally to me while I was there. Here in the states , my body language is the complete opposite, shoulders back, head high and always look people in the eye . As a small woman that works for me here in the US. lol

@@shreky1355 it was very smooth! What we needed to remember is how punctual train arrivals and departures are across Japan. Several times we either got lost or weren’t sure and kind Japanese strangers just took charge, helped us with our small luggages (hand carried bags and small backpacks each) and led us to the correct platforms. We have never encountered such kindness before. It was heartwarming and we were (still are) grateful. Arigato.
