5 Reasons to Solo Travel in Japan (this is your sign) 

Let me know your questions in the comments! I'd also appreciate your feedback to improve my future videos :)

Thank you for this video! I’m planning my solo travel trip to Japan next year and this video took my fear away.❤

Cant wait to visit next year

I am solo travelling Japan right now (since 2 weeks) my friends will join tomorrow. It was the best decision to first solo travel here! It was such a wonderful time, 10/10 recommend

I planned a 16-day solo trip for Japan later this year... but then my parents wanted to come along, for the first 10 days as realistically they're never going to visit the country without me or one of my siblings "guiding" them. I get the last 6 days to myself at least. This is the first time in Japan for the three of us and we're visiting most of the major attractions in Japan. A truly solo trip for me to more remote and less touristed parts of Japan might happen at the end of the decade... maybe.

Where did you get that map of conbinis? It looks useful

There are many different chains of Internet cafes, and their services vary. In many cases, the same chain is a franchise, and services vary from cafe to cafe. An important point to note is that some Internet cafes do not have showers.

I've done it twice already. My type of itinerary involves doing a lot of travelling from place to place, to get a small taste of every region. I don't like staying in one spot for more than 3 nights (the latter I did just before flying out from Narita). As for hotels, after staying in NYC for 4 nights and paying almost $700 for that, everything else seems cheaper. I look for cost and proximity to JR train stations. No hostel, capsule or cafe for me. For dining, I was too intimidated by the lack of knowing Japanese, and seeing lineups in places I did want to try, so I stuck with eating konbini and supermarket food. It wasn't too bad, just the food wasn't heated most of the time. I also had breakfast options with some hotels I booked, so I wasn't completely without fresh cook food.

I've done Japan so many times on my own and enjoyed it each time!

Currently on a solo trip in Japan and am really enjoying it! Out in Takayama at the moment for the fall festival.

Yeah,, that's very informative...

Boarding a plane at 7 AM on Monday (10/14) so I guess this is my sign lol

Hi Caleb, I know that Japan is very safe, but have you ever come across a situation where you didn't feel safe? have you ever been approached by touts etc? I'm doing a solo trip next March.

But the million dollar question...do you speak fluent Japanese? Because I suspect the experience is different for those that don't speak or read the language.
