  2. Conversely I actually loved visiting Japan in late december/early January. Mainly because in Australia its extremely hot from this time period and the cold is much better to deal with. It's also nice to start the new year in a place you enjoy that has different ways to celebrate.

  3. Thank Nao for another great video. I'm wondering... have you ever made a video about the AVATAR ROBOT CAFE? It is a Tokyo cafe where the robots are not AI but are piloted by disabled people all across Japan. For example, the robot that takes your order is a person in Okayama suffering from muscular dystrophy. The person that delivers your order is in Aomori bedridden with spinal atrophy. It's amazing! I think your channel is a nice "fit" since you highlight what makes Japan unique. This is the only restaurant, in the WORLD, where the robots are actually handicapped individuals that can't leave home. This way, they can end their loneliness as well as feel productive in society. I went yesterday. But YOUR talking style is much better than mine. (^.-) Please consider it. Thank you!

  4. People may be surprised by this, but something that is consistent with the UK is wherever you go at Christmas in Japan you will be sure to hear "Last Christmas" by Wham when shopping. I hope that never changes

  5. haven't watched yet but I'm going to guess he says "If someone comes up to you speaking English, it's most likely a scam"

  6. Tokyo itself is different from the rest of Japan. I think a lot of people in Tokyo are there for jobs, school, business, and are a little closed off compared to the rest of Japan. I think people in Tokyo look at foreigners like "Tourists" or not "Tourists" . Kind of a necessary pain, they need tourism, but tourists can be annoying. Places like Osaka are a lot more sociable, and you will get Japanese interacting with you because they hosted the 1976 EXPO I believe, and they loved that tourism, but most of it never really stayed after the EXPO because Tokyo gets so much exposure worlwide, they end up losing tourism to the Capital City. BUT, i do believe Osaka has recently won their bid to host EXPO once again and are very excited about it. I hope it works out for them and they make it a great success. There's also places like Okinawa, that's a tropical paradise and is a much safer and more beautiful stay than just about any other tropical resort in the world. The Islander's are very laid back and friendly, and one of the longest lived people in the world, maybe you can find out their secrets while visiting! Japan's a big place! Don't miss out on anything!

  10. I made several mistakes. I wasted my first night in Tokyo staying in a capsule hotel in Shinagawa because I thought I would be wrecked after I got off the long flight at Haneda airport. I should gone to Ueno, or stayed 2 nights in Ryokugo (my second night in Japan) which leads me to mistake #2, I tried to schedule too much stuff back to back my second day in Tokyo and was late for my second appointment, which threw off the rest of the day completely. Mistake #3 was staying in Osaka 2 days instead of 1 day/night, I should have stayed in Hiroshima 3 days. Hiroshima is magical unless you're the type who loves NYC you will probably love Osaka. Mistake #4, I wasted my last day going to the hotel in Chiba because I thought it was going to be close to Narita airport. My flight the next day didn't even leave until 4:30 PM and Chiba was far enough away I think I could have easily stayed in Euno one more night. I spent most of my 16 days in Tokyo and split the first week in between Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. Also don't forget Yokohama hotels if you plan to see the Kamakura Buddha and still want to hit some of Tokyo later that day, it's close enough to do Kamakura in the morning, hit nearby Tokyo in the early afternoon then come back to Yokohama to sleep. If you do the research, I think you'll find a lot of hybrid locations like that can work for you depending on what you want to do.

  11. Great tips. I think I did all of them on our visit over the last few weeks except we were there in golden week. I can’t express strongly enough how convenient the IC card is, it’s a must. Just to add, we had to go through Narita airport but took the train to Narita town the day before and had a really good time in this town which is lovely. Then a shirt 15minute taxi to the airport for our early flight home. A wonderful country and I can’t wait to get back there

  13. Very good video, thank you 😊 but i love it here in tokyo. The only problem is the language barriers.

  14. I always learn at least hello and thank you in the language of the country I am visiting. Btw sumimasen is one of my favorite words now. ( mataashita being an other one)

  18. Really beautiful video and so nicely explained . It’s true that our traditions of respecting our ancestors and elders is disappearing. Please upload more videos on old traditional home rituals, cooking , gardening etc.

  19. Its a really helpful phrase. I once where in Kanazawa and saw someone with an open shoelace. I said only すみません and pointed towards his shoe. After a confused look of him he realised what I meant and was very thankful. This small story's will be the cherry on your Japan trip. 🍒

  22. Nao San, konnichiwa! Thank you for taking the time to talk about some common misconceptions. I think overall, I truly appreciate how you chose your words so carefully to insure that there is no misunderstanding. There is no perfect country. America, as great as it is, is far from perfect. I think many people would agree. I still love Japan. I enjoyed my visit, and I truly hope to visit again sometime soon. I always enjoy your videos. Blessings!

  26. That 'unwelcome kindness' really explains something that happened during my first trip to Japan. My friend and I were on a shinkansen between Sapporo and Kushiro and it was packed. I noticed that there was a woman with a newborn and a slightly older child standing because she clearly hadn't booked a seat. Of course, my instinct was to offer her my seat, even though I'd paid quite a bit for it. I had to say 'it's ok' 3-4 times before she would sit down. Then my friend tried to stand up to let the older child sit down and the woman physically held her in place 😂 I laugh about it because from my cultural perspective it was so unusual but now I see just how uncomfortable the woman must've been and also the others on the train around us, while we were completely oblivious. Thanks for explaining that. I don't think I've done anything similar on later trips but I will actively avoid doing it from now on. On the general point of coldness, I don't think I've come across much of that. Maybe a little bit in the big cities but I've found Japanese people to be very kind and willing to help when I've looked like a lost tourist. And sometimes people have approached me for a conversation when I was just minding my own business - in Miyazaki, Nara and Hyuga. Quiet on the trains, buses and trams is very nice, though. I like that 😄

  27. If you order from a Japanese menu and you say the item a little bit incorrect the server will not know what your ordering and you will get a confused stare.

  28. hey now! My sister-in-law OWNS a 7-11 in Tskubamira! lol so we 'eat' there like all the time! For us foreigners, it's odd to have such amazing food at a "gas station" Here, I would not eat it, even if was free! Been blessed to travel from Fukushima all the way to Tskububa, Nikko, Fuji, Toyko, Kyoto, Yokohama, even Sakurajima and Hiroshima! I think, like here the USA, most big cities are over-rated, the 'same'. Kyoto, Nikko, Sakurajima, Hiroshima are more like traditional Japan..they are all different and super unique and special.

  29. My son and I are travelling to Japan in June for 15 days, guess we’re stuck in the rainy season, but I’m sure it will still be enjoyable. Will be travelling around too.

  31. Hi Nao! PLEASE invest in a better microphone. Your videos are interesting, but we lose a lot of information when the echo in your room is more predominate than your own voice. kthxbye.

  32. Thanks a lot for your sharing, 5 reasons are pretty normal things in life which are positive, I think. How about the earthquake in countryside of Japan, its happening sometimes? or only occurred in the cities?

  38. First off, disappointed and "outraged" are not the same. It's likely they were disappointed. If the media in Japan reports it as "outraged" that's just media hype (click bait). Likewise, if you go to a cheap restaurant (anywhere) and expect authentic cuisine YOU are making a mistake. If you want a quick and inexpensive meal, then don't worry about the name on the menu. Read what is in it then decide. Japanese "pizza" is also different than what most in the West expect. It doesn't "outrage" me. I just order something else. (^.-) On the other hand, Japanese McDonald's is better! And the toys in the "Happy Meals" are MUCH better (bring home to the kids of friends and be a hero). Short Version: Media Hype = Nonsense

  40. Visiting Japan is 100% about the culture, and then that unfolds into the visual experience. It is not a theme park or social media toy. Learn the culture and be a good guest, that is the platform for treasured memories and not "influencers" acting like predators for youtube and instagram clicks at all costs. Its not the kind of place to just go with no understanding of the culture. My personal kawaii experience was talking with elderly Japanese and making a genuine human connection and trying to be a reason for them to speak well of tourists.
