15 Tips for First-Time Travellers to Japan | japan-guide.com 

16. Always on time 17. Don't be like Logan Paul Thanks for the tips.

I am Japanese and I found this video by accident. All of what were explained in this video are right and useful when you’re gonna visit Japan. Japanese stations are so confusing as even Japanese people are often confused with it, so you should look at navigation boards when you’re in Japanese stations. Don’t worry even if you can’t read Japanese. Most of the navigation boards have English translations so that people from overseas can travel or live comfortably. Enjoy many attractive places and the culture in Japan!

Japan is my dream…I will definitely go there. Comment how many of you have a dream of going to Japan 🇯🇵

The one thing I will never forget was the time I went to a hotel in Japan and forgot to bow after saying thank you to the people at the desk, so my friend said "you forgot to bow" out loud in English and they started laughing. It was so embarrassing lol.

Who's watching this even if your not going to Japan 🤣

Step 16 is that there are no subtitles when you visit Japan.

7/11 saved my ass so many times when I was in Japan 🙇🏾‍♂️😂

I visited Japan in 2018 and really fell in love with the beautiful country and its lovely and incredible people. I will definitely go back there in near future to live for a few years, if not for the rest of my life. I have started learning Japanese. It is quite a difficult language to learn, but it is worth it. Love to Japan and Japanese from Iran and Netherlands.

it's my dream to live in japan for the rest for my life

I lived in Japan for 4 years. I really miss it.

I love Japan and Japanese people. It was the best trip of my life. I will never forget Hiroshima and Nagashaki. The cities and the villages, the temples, the shinkansen, the Narumi bone china, the Kimonos , the pearls, the Ikebana. Everything was perfect. I was so lucky to visit this country with the polite people.

One the many things I love about Japan is that they always look so clean and relax everywhere, even in the city.....

Welcome to my Country Japan💕 Have fun foreigners even tho it's really cold 😂😂 My home town is Niigata So love from Niigata Japan!

Shinkansen are the best trains in the world, they're fast, clean and arrive always on time. I love Shinkansen

I will be showing this to my mom because we’re going in a few months

Summertime... on my road bicycle... pedaling around this magnificent country. Making friends.... My dream

Step one: go to akihabara and waste all of your money 💴

You forgot “purchase a small hand towel at a Konbini” because although public restrooms in Japan are plentiful and clean, they rarely have any paper towels to dry your hands with after washing. A small hand towel, carried in a pocket or bag, is quite handy

These are really good realistic advice than any travelling tips I've seen. Most travelling advice I've watched are just all "be nice to people", "find your people", and "have fun". Those are not tips, it's just common sense. This video is the best detailed one.

Japan has decided to ease entry restrictions. Japan welcomes more tourists than ever before. This video is very helpful for visiting Japan. Thank you for introducing us to Japan.

One day I will visit this beautiful country 😍❤️

This video includes really useful tips even most of Japanese don't know, like luggage transport services at Narita airport. At most of Japanese train stations, we have to go up and down stairs to get the tracks and it is really embarrassing to do that with large luggages. The tutorial to purchase Shinkansen tickets via cellphones is also good for it is simple and easy to understand for many foreigners.

I’m from Pakistan, and it is my goal to visit Japan! I’ve meet so many Japanese people around the world, and I simply love your humbleness and kindness! ❤️

And don't forget to change your big money to small money in a bank at the airport, for vending machine. Don't forget to standing on the left of escalator in tokyo, on the right for osaka. Also, it's more convenient for me to printed the subway map for tokyo. Because it is pretty complicated route. Happy travelling travelers 💜 CMIIW

Super helpful tips. I appreciate that the list included practical tips for when you first enter the country, which is usually the most stressful time.

It's the last day of my two week trip in Japan today and I just found this video. Every single one of these tips would have made the trip so much easier. Still the best trip ever. Japan is the amazing.

I'm from Costa Rica and I love when I find videos of people talking wonders about this country. It really fill us with joy knowing somebody enjoys it so much visiting this places. Thank you very much for this amazing video.

"Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Shinkansen...."..... I can still hear those words as if it were only yesterday that I was there (it was actually 3 years ago..!)....Wonderful country. I will be back.

Great tips. Knew most of them for my first trip but took watching several videos to find. This is a great one stop resource

Myself and a few friends of mine are going to Japan sometime between March and April of 2023! I couldn't be more excited to go overseas for the first time in my life and to see a foreign country!!!

For first time visitors to Tokyo: JR commuter trains are easier to understand than the subway. If you have a Japan Rail Pass, it is accepted on these trains. There are two subway systems with separate fares. Some friends of mine bought a day pass for Tokyo Metro and found out the hard way that it wasn't good on the Toei lines. JR's Yamanote loop line is the most useful. It serves almost all the major business districts and if you miss your stop, you can stay on the train until it comes around again (it takes about an hour to go all the way around). Other useful JR lines are the Chuo, Keihin-Kyuko and Sobu.

Haven't been there for 3 years and I've been watching vids about japan lately. Maybe my mind is telling me something.

This video even tells you which seat you should take on Shinkansen to see Mt.Fuji. That’s so cool! And I must confess its really beautiful when watching it from E seat :) Seems like all the information in this video is quite new and updated especially about EX app. Thank you for sharing!

This was much more detailed than some of the RU-vid video have shown. Thank you. It can very very nerve wracking to know things in a foreign country but when you don't speak the language it can be very scary. This video I would recommend to watch.

I bought the pocket wifi for myself at Narita, and used it endlessly for a month. Loved it.

Japan is a great country filled with a lot of wonders.

Finally! A video that’s not filled with crappy, complicated tips. Thank you!

Love this video wish it was around for my 1st trip back in January. i have been back once since and loved it even more i kept my IC card so i can use it each time i go back roughly 4-5 times a year for all sorts of things

We love the nature in Japan! There are so much untouched and original traditions here too! Do come to visit!

This brings back great memories of living in Japan. I remember my first time in Tokyo and I was overwhelmed. Such an amazing place to visit and live!

Thank you Japan-guide for such nice tip video. I happy that I will finally be in Japan for period of 13 days.

As a point of view of a local person living in Tokyo like me, this show is obviously filled up with a bunch of reliable things :) For more tips, please come again to Tokyo and you should become a next story teller for the brand new comers.

Great to see Japan Guide recommending first time traveling tips. I'd add that if you're thinking of time traveling to Japan, definitely hit up the 1964 Tokyo Olympics to check em out in person! ⏰👍

It's very useful for foreigners to Japan like me. I love it!

LOVE JAPAN!!! Great vid...thanks!

This is an amazing guide. Well-presented and with a lot of necessary detial. THanks for it!

Excellent well made video full of hidden tips one wouldn’t normally know. 👏 Thanks for making my planning much easier!

Japan has been my childhood love and still love it. I am now working on learning their language. So I can try to get a job there. Thanks for the very useful video. Arigato Gozaimasu 🙏🥰😇

Fantastic tips! I’m thankful that I found this video, as it gave me some quality insights of what to think of when planning my trip. Thank you!

God bless,save & protect Japan from any bad things or any war in the future...

JAPAN 🇯🇵 is one of the most well known wonderful country in the world, Their culture, people, language, food, hospitality is just Amazing 😇✌️ . I truely admire the hardwork of Japanese people and their culture from INDIA 🇮🇳 I have a true respect for their culture ☺️ 🇮🇳❣️🇯🇵

Japan is so fun. the trains make it so convenient to travel around. i want to go back again.

8 days until I go, my dream and it's finally happening 😭

Next year we are going to Japan for the first time. Visit our son in Saga. Love this tips. Thank you. ✌ with love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇯🇵💟

'Airport luggage delivery service' is just not discussed often enough in these RU-vid videos and travel vlogs so thank you very much for making it your first point. I'll be travelling from Kansai Airport to central Kyoto next year with two LARGE suitcases AND two check-in bags, per person and it looked mysteriously and infuriatingly difficult to figure out. There was no way to travel with all that baggage via the more commonly recommended commuter trains and buses. Unlike in Tokyo, airport shuttle services in Kyoto only go to train station destinations rather than the direct door-to-door hotel drop off, which is the vastly superior option when you have luggage as stated earlier. I still can't figure out why this is by the way. I'd been researching the conundrum I faced for many months and then came across this video whilst eating dinner tonight, and 'ping'! the lightbulb went off. Thanks guys! Airport luggage delivery service it will be. Brilliant. Ahhhh, now I can get back to the stress-free parts of my research :D

I really love to visit Japan, someday, my dream 🇯🇵.

Great tips for first time visitors! Whoever visits Japan will have an amazing time 👍

5 trips from one end to other in Japan and what you see is true. Japan is a wonder !!!

Nice itinerary and well explained. I also recommend checking out Hiroshima and Miyajima Island on your first trip too. Very achievable if you're on a 14-day itinerary.

I'm heading to Japan in less than 2 weeks. While I'm lucky because my daughter lives there, this was still a lot of great information. Thank you very much for sharing it!

Japan is such an interesting and beautiful country., A must visit travel destination.

This was way more helpful than I was expecting I thought I was gonna get a few places to go and Things to do

I just came back from Japan.... this would have been useful....

JUST IN TIME FOR MY TRIP TO JAPAN!!! THANKS!!!

Been to Japan twice but I just watched because I absolutely miss travelling!! 😭😭😭

An excellent video. I really liked that service of sending your luggage ahead. I've been to Japan many times & never thought of it.

Folks, another tip. If you are taking multiple Shinkansens during your trip, you can reserve seats for all of those trips in one go when your JR Pass is issued.

Going next year can’t wait

Amazing video! I am Japanese and planning to travel with my husband from Canada for the first time. I'm not familiar with Tokyo and I actually learned some new things!! Very helpful!

I’ve been to a lot a lot of places as a touring musician. But nothing beats Japan.
