For my only New Year in Japan back in 2018, I was in Kyoto and decided to go up Fushimi Inari before midnight and when I decended at 11 PM, the temple was packed for Hatsumode. Did mine next day in Uji, a much more smaller temple. About the ending machine part, that's a low blow and cheap shot for japanese and tourist alike. Will get my drinks from the super market in advance and take them with me from my hotel. Much cheaper to buy stuff in the supermarket

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

Fushimi must have been very crowded! sometimes the smaller shrines are best!

@andrewwong8888 5 месяцев назад

⭐️thanks for the video! I was wondering if you had one on late night arrivals at haneda or narita?

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

Nothing on that, unfortunately your best bet would be a pre-arranged car transfer if you are arriving too late: If you're arriving late at night at Haneda Airport and need to get to central Tokyo, there are several options available (please double check these times as things can change) There are late-night bus services that run to Shinjuku at 1:00 AM, 1:40 AM, and 2:20 AM. The Limousine Bus usually runs from midnight until 3:00 AM and then from 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM, serving Shinjuku, Asakusa, and Tokyo Station. Taxis are available 24/7 but can be more expensive. T The Tokyo Monorail and Keikyū Airport Line connect Haneda to central Tokyo, but these services generally stop running around midnight. The Keikyū Airport Line, for example, runs until just after midnight (00:02 AM on weekends).

Thankfully I'm in Tokyo 8th-24th Feb so I'll definitely be checking out that digital art exhibition. Team Labs is great, so seeing some competition for it is awesome! The vending machine price changes make sense for some areas, just hope it never happens to gacha machines!

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

if it happened to Gacha that would be the end of the world!

@JoseHernandez-ty7hc 5 месяцев назад

After 24 hour journey to arrive in Tokyo on December 31, would you recommend another alternative for midnight?, are most of attractions and restaurants closed on January 1?..

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

You're better off keeping to a chain restaurant on the 1st but there might be big ones open not local ones.. As for 31st depends on how adventurous you are!

@zodiark93 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for these news! Unfortunatelly I'm currently in Kitakyushu, in the Kyushu region, so I'm quite far away from all those places. Byt in the future I hope to be able to visit those locations. My only fear is to not have enough time, because I arrived here on late september and I'm supposed to stay here only for two years, for my master's degree (unless they propose me a PhD or I find a job here). And in these first 6 months is quite difficult for me to move around, because I'm full of lessons and still waiting for news related to a possible tuition waivering (I'm here without a scholarship, so it's very heavy for me, economically speaking). I hope to be able to organize something soon, to move around a bit. I already went to Shimonoseki, to visit their fish market (best sushi I ever had in my life, and very cheap °w°), and in two days I'll go fora bit in Fukuoka with the university. But I would like to find some time to visit a lot more places, between here, Hiroshima, Osaka/Kyoto, Tokyo, Ginzan Onsen etc.etc..

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

Wow, I love the area you are based at! .. You dont need to worry about places like Tokyo, Im sure you'll get there! .. Kyushu is amazing to explore once you have free time :) In terms of NYE the same applies to your area, im sure there will be some shrines and temples doing it

The peak price of vending machines will still have to be below the combini's, otherwise who'd bother. The 7-Eleven etc are never far away.

hmmm,... for New Year Eve there is Joya-no-Kane ... (bell ringing at some temples) ... but for this and hatsumode, if you aren't Buddhist, it seems silly to attend I think. Right now at Sompo Museum of Art in Shinjuku there is an exhibit of still lives by van Gogh. I went yesterday and it is really nice. The George Pompidou Centre is undergoing renovation so they're lending lots of wonderful art to the western art museum in Ueno. The cubism exhibit is really, really good !

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

Yes Joya-no-Kane is pretty amazing

@towada1066 5 месяцев назад

@@NinjaMonkeyguy hmmm,... for me,... I wouldn't call Joya-no-Kane " amazing " ... but anyway, in a local temple, it's nice to wait in line with oil drum fires and chatting ... the local neighborhood elders will walk through the streets calling out for people to not smoke in bed and be careful about the kerosene heaters ...

@thecleeze6359 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, that vending machine thing sounds annoying. I can picture myself staring at my watch saying, "Let's see, if I wait 7 minutes, Pocari will be 20 yen cheaper..." I will go to the Pokemon theme park if I can, even though I'm not a Pokemon fan. It should be an interesting experience regardless of that fact, and very 'Japan'.

@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев назад

I think the Vending machine thing is very very annoying, but it will take time for all vending machines to be like that

@jimross7648 5 месяцев назад

First time, only one thing of interest to me. I'm not a New Years crowd type of guy. I would try the foot bath train though. The vending machine changes are another example of big business trying to extract more money from the customers they claim to care about while really only trying to increase profits. Dynamic pricing increases what they charge but if they don't meet the targets they don't lower prices they just remove service. ⭐

@towada1066 5 месяцев назад

I think if you want to try being Japan 「traditional」you can eat o-seichi-ryori (but I really don't like it) and then on New Year Eve, eat soba.
