going to Japan in August, thanks for the tips! I appreciate you listing some summer activities, almost everywhere else says not to go in summer (it's the only time I can vacation), so it's nice to get some advice rather than just cautioning.

Great channel. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I've also had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit a place that inspired art such as 'Akira' or 'Ghost in the Shell'.

I didn’t know about Kegon Falls! Won’t stop me from visiting, but I’ll be visiting in October so that’s still a couple of months away. And upping prices for tourists isn’t going to make them stop coming, but it will probably make them think again about visiting certain attractions if tourists have to pay a lot more to get in so what does that even achieve? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Imma fly in haneda on the July 22 by 4 pm I reserved Shinkansen tickets at 630pm should I schedule later or will I have enough time to make it? @ninjamonkey

@nilsteegen33 6 дней назад

If everything goes normally, then you can be out of the airport after 1 hour. You can get to Tokyo station in a bit over 30 minutes. From my experience, you have enough time unless something goes very wrong.

@NinjaMonkeyguy 6 дней назад

mm.. remember that Haneda doesnt have a Shinkansen station.. it should be doable but a little close

@RedOneM 5 дней назад

I assume Tokyo Station, it is doable. Personally I would have a larger buffer, as the plane could have delays or getting through at the airport could take longer than expected. All depends on how tight your schedule is. There is always something to explore nearby while waiting for the shinkansen.

@peaceweapon1933 5 дней назад

Nah, we spent like an hour trying to help some American tourists get the Suica app, but it never worked for their androids. Even when they changed the location of their phone to Japan, it would let them download the Suica app, but it wouldn’t let them top up the card

@axios101 6 дней назад

Nice video, as always! Random thoughts: ripping off tourist is never a good idea... I mean: locals should pay less for certain things (especially landmarks and some attractions, because their taxes are already used to maintan them) and also for eating out because the yen is weak and they are potential loyal and returning customers.... surely more than the occasional gaijin... BUT this should not translate into a complete rip-off...😅 Kegon Falls should "heal" themselves soon, right??? My conclusion is that Japan and Japanese People should really reflect and organize a little bit more if it is true (and it seems so) that the Government is expecting to have 60 MILLION of tourists yearly by 2030.... they are VERY capable of organize themselves... they have shown it... so they will eventually find a way to accomodate, regulate and make tourists pay "the right price" without exaggerating or ripping-off or similar... I hope...😅

@NinjaMonkeyguy 6 дней назад

Let's not forget that Tourists already contribute via consumption tax when eating food and most hotels have a hotel tax /onsen tax.. I just hope it doesnt become a rip off

@axios101 6 дней назад

@@NinjaMonkeyguy Of course! I was just thinking that a little bit more from tourists is expected (because, given the yen situation and infation, they cannot lower the fees from locals... so the only option is to make tourists pay a little bit more... provided they try to adjust a little bit the services and DO NOT rip off them!!). P.S. do You know if the onsen tax could be "enforced" even if the clients' rooms do not use thermal water or onsen facilities?

It is not the tourists' fault that the Japanese government went into debt for 30 years and now the yen is cheaper.

@aa240sx 6 дней назад

biggest issue we had as new travellers to tokyo? tap in/tap out. this is probably the number 1 reason you have to go to ticket counters to get suica cards fixed cuz they're 'br ok en'.

@nilsteegen33 6 дней назад

Not to be rude, but were the cards actually broken, or did they not have enough money on them?

@NinjaMonkeyguy 6 дней назад

really? with nearly 30 trips and 10 years of travelling hardly ever had any issues with Suica card mm

@aa240sx 6 дней назад

apologies need to clarify my 'tap in/tap out' comment. In my situation, I used my suica card to tap into a JR station, then proceeded to use a JR hokuriku arch pass for the rest of my trip. I was able to tap out using the arch pass because it's unlimited but when I when to use the suica card (separate trip), it said we were 'in transit' and wouldn't let me into gate. Station attendant took care of it. Again, user error but I'm certain this happens often.

@@towada1066 I was just in Tokyo for the majority of May. Yes there are significantly more tourists now than when I lived in Tokyo in the early 2000's, but that's to be expected, and it didn't seem any more intense than another major city like NYC. I even went to Disneyland and it was actually the most empty I've seen any theme park ever. A few questions for you. Do you live in Japan? Why is it sad to watch "happy foreign tourists" spending money at local businesses, and how does that breed resentment? Do you think that foreigners should not be spending money in Japan?
