Hey Nathan, long time lurker first time commenter, just wanted to say thanks for all the tips over the years! Finally headed back to Japan for a couple of weeks at the end of this month after 4 long years, and it’s convenient that this video came out at just the right time. A little tip I’d like to share of my own is for reservations at Shibuya Sky - you can reserve 1 month in advance and they currently release the time slots at midnight JST, which is crucial if you’re aiming for a sunset time slot because these can fill up within the first 15 minutes-first hour (from my experience)

the best thing to do is get yourself a physical card unless your android phone was purchased in Japan. There are some apps that allows you to at least check the balance of your card. When it comes to using a currency card like Revolut or Wise, these can be great for taking cash out and spending but not for transportation

Good Info. i ended up getting Pokemon Cafe Tickets for April 1st about 40 minutes after they went up. was stressful as they kept adding new spots every 10 minutes once the timer ended for the reservation. so yeah if you want a reservation check back every 10 minutes on the dot afterwards.

Hey Nathan. Some great tips all the time! I’m visiting first time 19 March for 3 weeks, Tokyo, Hakone, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka (and 1 night back in Tokyo). I believe the JR pass would not be worth it for these journeys. In Hakone I will be getting be 2 day free pass, and haven’t reserved anything yet. What is the maximum size suitcase that will not need reservations for Shinkansen?

@NinjaMonkeyguy 4 месяца назад

As per JR website info: The total dimensions must be 160 cm to 250 cm When bringing baggage that is larger than a certain size onto the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen (routes: Tokyo - Nagoya - Kyoto - Shin-Osaka - Hiroshima - Hakata - Kagoshima-Chuo) or onto the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen line (Takeo-Onsen - Nagasaki), passengers are required to make an advance reservation for both their seat and baggage area. As a general rule if its too heavy or wont fit on the overhead shelf its oversize

@NinjaMonkeyguy 26 дней назад

KIX has extensive facilities including shops, restaurants, currency exchange offices, and transport services. Regarding your question about the Suica card, it's worth noting that Suica is typically used in Tokyo and surrounding areas, while the ICOCA card is the equivalent used in the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, etc.). You can purchase an ICOCA card at KIX from ticket machines and use it for public transport across japan

@taeyangshii6206 4 месяца назад

I don't understand this shortage of IC card. Welcome suica has a chipset too. So normal or welcome suica use one chipset. And for people which stay more than 28 days, they will use 2 or 3 cards, so 2 or 3 more chipsets than one normal suica. (sorry for my bad english)

I see thanks for the update here. I only gave various options that had been reported to me (As Im not from the USA) It's also VERY IMPORTANT to note that Digital Suica is down for maintenance every day between 1am-5am Japan time meaning that trying ANY card to top up or set up Apple Pay will fail (which is what happens a lot of the time due to the time difference people try it and it doesnt work.. then they try another card at a different time and it does! :)

Hey Nathan. Thanks for the informative video. I've been to Japan many times but I was mostly interested in the info around IC Cards as I'm heading to Japan in June this year with my school students and I've heard about the chip shortage. I understand about the Pasmo Passport and Welcome Suica, but all the other videos and websites I've viewed are saying the actual SUICA card is no longer available. So I'm confused. But you're saying it is at specific JR Offices?? It's the first time to hear this. I'm not sure now whether to get Pasmo Passports at Narita or get actual Suica cards at Ueno Station. Any advice? And I take from what you said, I can still use my Suica Card as it's not 10 years old yet. We are only in Japan for 9 days. We fly in at 6:00pm so I'm assuming an office would be still open after we clear immigration to get the Pasmo Passports. Thanks.

Depending on the age of the children: Children under the age of 5 travel for free on public trains and don't require an IC card. Those between 6 and 12 years old are eligible for a child fare, which is half the adult fare. Once they exceed 12 years of age, they are classified as adults and must pay the full adult fare.

it will save you some time as there is less checking happening at the control point, also it means not having to fill in the form on the flight or even worse at the airport, saving you time. And most importantly more likely you don't make mistakes on the form after a long flight that will lead to your form being inspected for longer. The reality is that physical forms are inspected for longer than the Qr Code regardless of line.

Are secured credit cards good in Japan?

@NinjaMonkeyguy 4 месяца назад

What do you mean by secured credit cards?

@HacksignKT 4 месяца назад

@@NinjaMonkeyguy it's a starter "Visa" A secured credit card is a type of credit card that requires a security deposit to open the account. The cardholder typically makes a one-time, refundable deposit that acts as collateral for the credit card issuer. A secured credit card can be a great option if you're trying to build, rebuild or establish credit. But not a normal Visa.

@@HacksignKT hmmm ... there is JCB secured card but I will never use these types of services because I don't need it ... EPOS also has this thing but why will foreigners pay high fees ? ... if you're a foreign tourist I think just use your own credit card ...

Ah I see.. I dont know the answer to your original question then. Ive never had issues using credit cards @@HacksignKT

I'm going from London to Tokyo with a 2hr layover in Abu Dhabi (same airline). Do I give the visit japan web service my second flight number or the first? I'm confused as to which flight number to input at the 'point of embarkation' section since I have two. Thanks Nathan

Sucia needs an app for android.

@NinjaMonkeyguy 3 месяца назад

It's not an App, an app wouldn't work even if they made one... Android phones made outside of Japan dont have the hardware used in Japan for IC payments

hmmm,... it would be easier if foreigners just did not visit Japan (^_^) ... though guest workers seem ok (except to my relatives) ... I think having currency is actually good advice ... in the backward countryside, sometimes some train stations cannot accept SUICA so it is only paper ticket.
