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

  1. There are more changes about Mt. Fuji. If you want to start your climb on any trail after 4 pm, you need to book a lodge. And you need to register online before you go.

  2. I am not used to that heat but those months are the only ones I have some free days from my job so I cannot choose.

  3. #15 is easier said than done. One of biggest reasons I visit Japan is for the wildly unique items which I never even knew existed. Doing research and shopping online is helpful, but often misses the secret treasures which you can only find by being there in-person. IMO it is better to research pricing & availability after you have found something which you want to confirm if you are getting the best deal.

  4. Thank you for the video. The change in taxes is not at all good for tourists. The bank usually charges a fee and usually an additional percentage of the total purchase. In other words, the bank fee will be charged to that 10% and it is an expense that will not be returned. Also, how will the tax be returned at the airport? In cash that will then have to be exchanged in our country of origin? The sale of currency is usually unfavorable for the common user.

  5. Good video, thanks. Though with the exchange rate, a lot of these things don't feel as necessary as they might. We frequently ate for 1000JPY per person, which is only £5 - unheard of in the UK for good quality food. And Japanese trains are also much cheaper than in the UK (and much better). Also felt like I should pay the tax as a tourist if it helps out in Japanese public investment.

  6. Key Facts and Features from the video 'JAPAN HAS CHANGED!!! | 6 NEW Things To Know Before Traveling In Japan! 7.2024' * New Banknotes: As of July 2024, new 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen banknotes have been issued. These new notes f*eature 3D holograms and are easier to identify. While the old notes remain valid, it's good to be aware of the changes. * Fireworks Festivals: Japan hosts numerous fireworks festivals from late July to August. Two notable events include the Sumida River Fireworks Festival on July 27 and the Yokohama Fireworks Festival on August 5. For a comprehensive list of fireworks festivals in Japan, refer to the link provided in the video description. * Extreme Heat: Japan experiences scorching temperatures during the summer, with highs exceeding 30°C, even at night. It's crucial to stay hydrated, wear protective headgear, and seek out air-conditioned spaces to combat the heat. Additional tips on coping with the heat in Japan can be found in another video on the channel. * End of Pasmo Pass: The Pasmo Pass, a popular IC card for tourists, was discontinued in June 2024. The Welcome Suica is now the primary IC card readily available to tourists. Welcome Suica cards can be purchased at various locations, such as Terminal 3 of Haneda Airport. More information about acquiring IC cards in Japan is detailed in another video. * New Attractions in Shibuya: Shibuya is undergoing a transformation, with numerous new establishments opening. Some notable additions include: Harajuku, a new shopping complex in Harajuku that opened on April 1, 2024. Pokémon Card Lounge, an official Pokémon trading card game space located on the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO. Shibuya Sakura Stage, a new shopping mall set to open on July 25, 2024. * Mount Fuji Climbing Fee: Starting in 2024, a climbing fee of 2,000 yen per person will be imposed for ascending Mount Fuji on the Yamanashi side.

  15. Some convenience stores have a sitting-down place, so you can sit and eat your food purchases. Also, they usually have a microwave oven so you can heat the food.

  20. I have been to Japan 10+ times in the last 10 years. With these changes, including the price of the JR Pass, I don't think I can go to Japan as often as I did. Sad.

  26. When I travelled to Tokyo in Apr 2024, the only airport that sold Welcome Suica was at Haneda Airport. I guess once the Welcome Suica are sold out, there should have no more Welcome Suica. I think visitors prefer to buy the Welcome Suica. When I was at the Haneda Airport, nearly everyone purchased Welcome Suica instead of Suica.

  29. Of all the talk, one crucial information missing is what public transports the suica card is good for since there are so many different lines including subway operating in Tokyo.

  32. Book seat reservations 1 year in advance? How? On EX I am getting "You may only make a reservation for up to 3 people at once between 11:30 pm - 5:30 am within 1 month prior to the departure date."

  33. 06:02 I had my first awkward experience on this in 2014 🥴

  34. 5:36 That is a cute design for the bus. I also took a night bus from Ikebukuro to Niigata and could not get a good night's sleep. The rest stops were interesting places though but I arrived at my destination exhausted. Next time I will spend for a Shinkansen. Thanks for taking us with you on your trip!

  38. Talking about taxi’s and showing a guy inside a regular car. Definitely was not the inside of a taxi. Never seen utensils inside a sushi restaurant. Very informative video even I learned something new esp about the statues, shrines, and temples. Definitely good tips on how to respect the culture.

  39. It was good that you did purchase it directly from Air China. If I recall correctly, when you purchased it from a third party, the airline staff can't change the name for you, and you have to contact the third party and request them to fix it for you.

  40. So I guess in 2025 it is still all Tax-Free! Or am I wrong?
