Hearted Youtube comments on Japan with Nao (@JapanwithNao) channel.

  1. 6:17 first time I saw that on my first visit to Japan in 1995, I was impressed at the fact that people did that and nothing got stolen. 29 years later and this still puts a smile on my face. Japan, please don't change! šŸ„°šŸ˜Š

  3. Thank you for this pov! I am glad to hear from both sides to make a decision.

  4. Early January was a good time. The snow-covered mountains were beautiful and it wasn't too hot or too cold. Almost no tourists were around, and the cold kept the bugs away. No queueing times either.

  5. Overtourism is a problem because all the international airports are in Tokyo if you have a few more in the North or South it would help quite a bit. Because right now tourist only think 3 cities exist. Also can I climb Mt. Fuji in September/October might do that if it still open. Good advice that I will follow šŸ—¾ šŸ›¬

  6. This is a reminder of the importance of having enough situational awareness when visiting Japan to understand you are in another country as a guest. Instagram traveling is a poor fit in a very structured society like Japan. Go because you are interested in the culture, everything unfolds from the culture in Japan.

  7. In my grandparents house, they used a cast iron stove to cook and heat the basement, and we spent much of the time during winter down there (they got a central system later for the rest of the house) but I liked the stove - it was nice splitting the wood and setting it up to dry for use for next year, and the food cooked on it was great

  8. Just yesterday a lady did that fake monk type of thing for me in Ueno park. Luckily I already knew about this one before šŸ˜…

  9. I miss Japan so much.... i will visit again soon.... ā¤

  10. I definitely can't! Especially in Hokkaido!

  12. Headwear etiquette is also in western etiquette of old. Most people just ignore now

  13. Gonna have to try some of these; Americans consider winter soup weather but these are really neat additions. Couldn't necessarily utilize your local gadgets in the other videos but I can hit up a local asian food store to get a food perk with my hot food requirement for the next few months. Also side note ignore anyone talk bad about your accent unless they're accent specialists; I can understand it better than a lot of regions of fellow Americans generally and also more than a few localized (like Canadian) coworkers in my field.

  14. What about the mould? If you have high humidity and no heating, would your house get mouldy all around, on walls and behind furniture?

  15. Do you prefer sleeping on a Japanese Futon or Bed? Tell me your opinionšŸ˜‰ Thank you for watchingšŸ˜Ž

  16. Please feel free to ask anything about this video and Japan. Thank you for watching!

  17. Thank you God bless you MARANATHA. How do you keep moist from walls and molding?

  18. Japan is my escape from my daily monotonous life at home. It was my first country as a solo traveller last year and I think I left my heart in Kyoto. Tokyo is spectacular in every way, but the natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage is unbeatable! Plus, it also helps that Japanese people one of the nicest and kindest on earth. Already planning for my 2nd trip next year. My Kawaii in Japan is the sweet grandmas and grandpas who run small shops and restaurants. They would eagerly invite me in with smiles and ask where I'm from and just curious about my background even though they speak very little English. Just thinking about it puts a huge smile on my face.

  19. Supermarket basements are so good! We would go at 5-6pm, with most items being marked down (sometimes half price!).

  20. Honestly i truly am thankful for channels like this, helps me bridge the global gap on things and understand how and why another culture does it in different ways. Cheers and much love from Canada keep up the great content.

  21. Thanks for this video. The more I learn about Japan the more I want to move there. I personally prefer the countryside in Japan. Big city like Tokyo is not for me. I definitely like the quieter place

  22. I visited Japan 3 times and will continue to do so if possible. I still want to visit the Tohoku region. Your message is true for everything. Japan changes, as does everything. My favorite bar closed down during CoronašŸ˜¢. So the Japan that you visited this year is already gone. I was last November in Japan and it was a lot more relaxing. Temperatures were great. So I will visit Japan ā€žout of seasonā€œ.

  23. I only eat convenience store food when I have to keep moving, but in times when you can afford to sit and eat for breakfast, Yayoi-ken and its equivalents like Matsuya, Sukiya and Yoshinoya are great breakfast options if you don't mind eating rice for breakfast. I find that an even better option than most hotel breakfasts.

  24. Interesting, also here in Italy we have high ceiling houses but we all have central eating system, or to be clear: we have different solutions. District heating from steam power plants that distribute the heating to the houses. Or methane network. In every flat we have our own boiler that powers the radiators and the hot water in the house. With the thermostat we regulate the temperature of the house also to save money

  25. I look at the kotatsu and all I see is a fire and burn hazard. I could not rest easy with one of those in the house.
    12
  26. Kototsu look really dangerous because you are putting cloth so close to a heat source, but they must be fine because people have been using them forever. I would think if they were dangerous, people would use something else.

  27. Also if you want to break 10,000 yen bills, some arcades have machines that will break 5,000 and 10,0000 bills into 1,000.

  28. I will be visiting Japan for the first time in late October! I canā€™t wait to start shopping for One Piece stuff! And to see the beautiful country
    12
  29. Such a cosy video, beautiful work

  30. Surprisingly insightful video. Thank you for sharing. ā¤

  31. Next week i Will arrive to Japan from Korea. I am cycling. I have no shoes, no sleeping bag. Till now it was ok in Korea. I hope it will be good in Japan too. Mostly I sleep on the road
    12
  32. Thank you for the great advice! One detail, Westerners often sweat/stink more for genetic reasons so Iā€™ve heard we need to bring our own deodorant (edit: antiperspirant) because itā€™s a lot stronger šŸ˜…

  33. Let's decide the best month to visit Japan here! It's October for mešŸ˜˜ Tell me your best month! Thank you for watchingāœŒ

  34. I donā€™t think that most people think theyā€™re going to get the best quality food in Japan from a convenience store. Most people are smart enough to know better than that. Itā€™s just that most people have also never tasted high-quality food from a convenience store and they want to try it, so they can see how high quality or not it is for themselves . I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything wrong with trying it.
    11
  35. The department store recommendation is super! I will definitely check them out. Thanks Nao for all the incredible tips and wonderful videos. Keep it up!
    11
  36. Iā€™ll be visiting for the first time on 12 to 19 April. Great to know it is the best time. Thank you for the information
    11
  37. Thanks for this information. Will be travelling to Japan tomorrow. šŸ˜Š

  38. The last time I was in Japan was 2009, and my wife has never been, so we were thinking about maybe going this November. I guess we better get on it!
    11
  39. Every time I visit Japan, I am amazed with the beauty, and refinement of the culture. Thank you for your video, it gives me a peek inside that culture.
    11
  40. I think you should also discuss otoshi or table charges. Not really a scam, but it's worth discussing.
    11
  41. I'm not sure if I'll be able to visit Japan the way I used to. Honestly, I think the fear of missing out can be a bit overblown. I believe we should definitely consider exploring our own country instead. Traveling domestically has many benefits. It helps cut down on emissions and eases the strain on the global environment. Plus, it boosts the local economy and helps protect local ecosystems. I understand though that others will have a different opinion.
    11
  42. Quiet on the train, and no small talk. Japan is great!
    11
  43. Any mistakes you think you would make or have made when coming to Japan? šŸ˜‚ Thank you for watchingšŸ˜š

  44. 2:03 I would add Kamakura as another place to visit. It is thirty minutes from Tokyo is very beautiful. 5:03 It is also worth noting that Japan has garbage segregation rules. You can't just toss your garbage in any bin, there are specific bins for the kind of garbage you're tossing. 5:48 My rule of thumb when it comes to non-chain restaurants is the more Japanese salarymen eating in it, the better it is. 6:16 Thanks for letting us know about tablog. I will download it for my next trip to Japan. 9:46 Jingumae! Is that the street where the yakitori shops are? Thank you for your video!

  45. The YouTube algorithm pushed your video into my feed this morning, and I'm enjoying this video so much that I decided to subscribe.

  46. We travelled mid November which included the Childrens 7-5-3 weekend at temples in Narita on Saturday and Fukuoka on the Sunday, then to the Sumo tournament before days in Kyoto and Tokyo. Very pleasant number of people, easy to get around, cooler weather, autumn colours. November is a brilliant month, highly recommend.

  47. It was interesting to know about that! I understand how it doesn't make much sense when we're kids. We grow up, and sadly have our own close relatives pass away... and it all makes so much more sense, having some way of maintaining contact. This is a beautiful practice. I'm an atheist but I do like to remember fondly about the people I miss, and feel like I'm still close to them somehow. Some religions in my country discourage that, and I think that's pretty sad.

  48. I am an American who's thinking about moving to the Japanese countryside, or at least a rural area. It wouldn't be for a little while yet and I am currently learning how to read, write, and speak japanese with the help of online resources and also AI programs like ChatGPT. I honestly don't think I'd do well in a large city area like Tokyo because I've never been in a city even half that size and don't like noisy places made of concrete usually. I prefer small communities where I see the same faces everyday and there's enough nature to fall asleep to the sounds of crickets at night. I'm a creative person that spends a lot of time writing, drawing, or even designing video games, illustrations, and music on my computer. I'm not someone who enjoys going out to the bars or stores more than maybe once every couple of months or so so I really don't mind having a short 30-60 minute commute in order to go do so. As long as I have electricity, internet, and access to the ability to acquire in-home entertainment like video games then I'm more than content.

  49. Foreign visitors should remember that shrines and temples are still active religious sites, don't be obnoxious and self absorbed when visiting them. It goes back to understanding that you may be on holiday, and you sincerely deserve a pleasant one, but you are a guest and not the main character in Japan. I totally agree about attending cultural opportunities. Don't ruin "hidden spots" by blasting them all over social media. Sorry to be blunt but the quality of travelers at present is a concern for a lot of us right now.

  50. Very good. Thanks for sharing and the awareness.
