Hearted Youtube comments on Ono in Japan (@ONOinJapan) channel.

  1. I only go from May to July 😂 But I’m from Arizona. It’s like a cool weather getaway with amazing rain 😅

  2. So sad to see so many uneducated people disrespecting places they visit. They may have the money to travel around but they don't care to get necessary information about culture and etiquette. 😢

  3. Another great video. Very well done.😊 Also, “from beautiful traditional crafts and unique souvenirs” shows Pokémon shirt Yea, Ono knows his audience 😂🏆👍

  4. I wonder. Do Japanese think that using google translate is offensive or bad? Whenever tourist approach them with it, do they get upset or roll their eyes? I’ve been curious about this for a while now.

  5. Ichiran has an interesting system that is helpful for single visitors, but its ramen is far from the best, even among the ramen chain restaurants. It’s not bad, but definitely not the best. I would put it as fairly good for a chain, and this is for the Ichiran in Japan. Those outside Japan are much weaker.

  8. First time in Japan, was there for the entire January. Caught flu in Sapporo, and fever broke in Kyushu. I was lucky to have friends who frequented Japan and they immediately surfed the internet for me to figure out the best medicine, which I got in Kagoshima.

  10. It's hard to understand how people get offended by having to adapt to the place they visit. Its part of the experience. In Sweden, we also take off our shoes at home, which keeps everything much cleaner. Queues are also respected, especially on escalators. I don't go to church, but I imagine they are respected just like Japan temples. Wherever you go, do as you see. If you don't like it, go somewhere else that suits you better.

  11. Thanks for the video! It seems that Welcome Suica and Pasmo Passport will be discontinued soon...

  12. Thank you for your informative, helpful and respectful video! I’m going to Japan for 10 days in March and I am so excited. It’s my second trip in a year and I’m very lucky to be able to go. I’ll do my very best to be respectful of the customs in Japan.

  13. Thanks, useful tips!!!Just a question: to recharge SUICA in a konbini one should use the "general purpose paying machine" or the ATM (if present)? Are they the same machine or different ones?

  14. If you're not an apple user and plan to go to Japan within every 10 years, just get yourself a 10-year IC card. Each time you use/recharge it, the 10 year duration is refreshed. You can pay for so many things without the need to deal with cash (coins) so just recharge more at a time.

  15. Good info. Thanks,

  16. When I was visiting Japan one year ago I believed in "you can find Wi-Fi everywhere, no need for SIM card" until I visited Tokyo Disneyland Resort. It was a HUGE disappointment to find out they don't provide free Wi-Fi so optimizing staying in queues was impossible without your own Internet data. Everywhere else free Wi-Fi access was quite common so overall I don't regret not buying SIM card. But my husband said when we visit Japan again, he wants SIM card for such surprises like in Disneyland.

  17. Going to japan any month is still good. Because japan is modern and easy to navigate

  18. As he kind of said, if you're traveling the country top to bottom, it's totally worth it. Def not if only visiting one region tho.

  19. Just got back from 3 week stay in amazing Japan! Safety Tips app is very useful to stay informed! Users need to add areas to be monitored and get an alert about, in the app Settings! Also NHK World app for quick access to news and updates in English is a must for every tourist! While having lunch in Osaka, all phones in the restaurant suddenly sounded an alarm, thankfully there was one word in English in the displayed message - DRILL, so we realized it was a test of the early warning system! It was reassuring that the locals in the restaurant kept calm, which allowed us, tourists to remain calm as well! Very useful video, Ono! Cheers, and Thank You!

  20. 2:36 I can attest to ATMs providing better rates than money-exchange counters, especially the ATM in this video which can be found at any 7/11 convenience store. Also research with your bank what fees you may be charged for using a foreign ATM. I made the mistake of using my credit card the first time, and got charged two seperate fees with my bank ($3 CAD)...one for using a foreign ATM, and I forget what the reason for the second fee was, but it was an equivalent amount to the 1st fee. I used my debit visa instead the second time and did not get any charges through my bank.

  22. The combini and vending machines prices seem high compared to a supermarket, but in Australia a vending machines drink costs 400-600 yen, so 150 yen still seems like we're saving a lot of money.

  23. My wife is Japanese, and she refuses to visit Japan during the hot months. (June - September) I don't mind so much, but she gets MEAN when it's humid, so we don't go then. October and March are probably the most beautiful months for most of Japan ... best times to visit.

  24. Exactly why we have chosen Osaka the last two times to Japan. Close to Kyoto for a nice day trip.

  25. Thanks for your great videos. They are very helpful.

  26. I’ve just returned from my vacation in Japan. Although the Japanese are subtle in their public behaviour and not talking in trains, however when they dine as a group with 3-4 friends together in a cafeteria or restaurant, they can be rather over- enthusiastic and talk and laugh loudly. I’m just amused by their stark contrast in behaviour in different settings! 😅

  27. Thank you for putting this together!

  28. For exchange rates; almost everyone takes credit cards. If you have a card that waives foreign exchange fees it’s often cheaper to just swipe your card.

  29. This video reminds me to be careful even in a very safe country like Japan. Thank you.

  30. Thanks for the info. We stayed in Shinjuku in April, 2024, it was very convenience but the hotel room was really small.

  31. It's a good idea but probably you will have to pay for that extra bag in your return flight.

  32. Looking forward to visiting for the first time in October, when it’s not so hot 😅

  33. Hi can you do a video on how to navigate effectively the train station on Japan? We're planning to go to Japan by next year.

  34. Great tips!!! Thanks for taking a save money approach

  38. The Konbini vs Supermarket tip is ridiculous. The cost of drinks and snacks in a 7-11/FM is a fraction of most of these products in Canada. Japan doesn’t know how good they have it, quit whining about high prices. A Coke in Canada at a 7-11/ Mac’s/Shoppers can be almost $5.00 CAD (600 yen) The bottle is 591ml but still, how would you like that? Trying to find a Supermarket on a daily basis which is out of the way for a tourist vs Konbini on every corner isn’t worth the time to get there, and to save how much? Again, the vending machines vs Supermarkets tip isn’t helpful. Saving 50 Yen on a drink but spending how much time travelling to a Supermarket to save a few Yen is pointless. And it can impact your budget? If you’re going to Japan and buying vending machines drinks will impact your budget, maybe you should have stayed home. For tourists, going to Konbini and using the vending machines is a enjoyable part of the trip and one of the cheapest things they can do on the entire trip.

  39. 13. For the Americans primarily. Tipping isn't customary in all western countries though many Japanese will assume this because the US influence is strong. Other countries have much higher minimum wages so tipping is not necessary.

  40. First time we went, it was late August. Now, we had traveled quite a few times to Singapore, Bangkok and Siem Reap for Angkor Wat. And I visited a relative in the army stationed at Fort Polk, LA in mid-summer, so we knew humidity. Osaka during the time we went in late August was the worst I’ve ever felt in terms of humidity. It just saps the strength right out of you.

  41. Great advice. WIFI service is really expensive, ridiculous price , I paid for one month rental when arrived at the Osaka airport and it stopped working after 3 days..very frustrating, contacted the airport selling point, they were apologetic, got the money back after a few more complaint lines sent. I survived without buying any WIFI service after 4 days...as said hotels, cafes and many tourist spots have free WIFI. anyway, good to be offline a bit also when on holiday.

  42. Top tip Britisher pals: There's no rainy season in Hokkaido (you know where that is, right, right?) I worked through 20 summers in Tokyo (1973-93) so don't be a bunch of wimps: "Take up the white man's burden ..." And do get into Centigrade, Ono san. Jack the Japan Alps Brit

  43. 10. Meeting locals is the best ways to experience the culture firsthand. When traveling to Osaka, I recommend joining one of my meetup events. It’s a rare opportunity to meet and talk to locals in English.

  47. If i may add to point #3, while the nationwide JR pass is generally not worth it, JR-West does regional passes that are worth investigating when planning a trip! For example, I plan on exploring Kansai and Okayama after leaving Kanazawa, so I picked a 1-week pass for 19,000 yen that involves unlimited bullet train travel from Kanazawa, through Osaka/Kyoto and any popular day trip destinations, all the way out to Okayama and even Wakayama peninsula. Some of the regional passes are worth it!

  48. Google says 85°F is 29-30°C, which is not a problem for me as I comfortably sleep at 28°C almost the whole year. And I don't consider it hot until it is higher than 35°C. So, heat in Japan is not a problem for me. If it is the same as in Thailand (with humidity), I can bear it. However, I didn't know about the typhoon season. Thank you for sharing that.
