so helpful - thanks!
Friends
nothing happened in 31st october 2018
thanks for the video
Where is it? How to get there?
They recently opened a new store in Tokyo Bay.
Nothing cheapo about this trip
Great information! Question - For the Digital Suica Card, is there an expiration date for those?
This is perfect! We are going to Kanazawa for a couple of days during our Japanese honeymoon, right after spending some time in Takayama and Shirakawa-Go. Thanks for the recommendations!
Isnt it better from Tokyo to drop at Shimoyoshida station before going to Kawaguchiko to visit the Pagoda? Unless you cant hop back in the train to Kawa
How my little kids get such digital card since they dont have payment ($) on their own
Will be trying Nakano next visit (October). Akiba seems overpriced these days. Used models are consistently 1/2 price on eBay I noticed.
I am planning to go Do you have an email so I can email you my questions I am very new to this
The background music made me think a) my phone was ringing b) I had a glass of iced coffee that was being shaken
Shibuya Sky looks epic!
It's one of our favourites 😊
thank you for this, planning for a trip to Tokyo and want to see something for relaxing other than the chaotic Shibuya, Shinjuku and the likes.
Glad we could offer some peaceful locations! Have a lovely trip 😊
the castle ground and the garden looks beautiful and relaxing.
you need better video editing software. your content is decent but the skips are disruptive
How topical......we will be there in early September Book marked
Glad it could be helpful! Have a great trip!
I'll be there this July and you add a stop or two on my list while I'm in kanazawa
Have a wonderful trip!
Yay Alex, Welcome back!!
The videos you make have so much imagination and creativity. I love the way you see the world.
Why was Alex removed from the thumbnail?
Hi I'm From India😊😊
good day, epic -see ya. Tokyo~))
Very helpful, thank you!
Keikyu line to Shinagawa is perfect. You can go anywhere from there. Also easy to get to Yokohama from Haneda!
Really helpful as always !
APA HOTEL AND RESORT ♨️MAKUHARI is my favourite hotel near Tokyo. They have 2 large onsens, main building and west wing ♨️🧖♂️😘 (KaihimMakuhari Station) 🚉 MAKUHARI is a city in a city 🏙 HUGE AEON SHOPPING MALL up the road 10min walk. Don Quijote🛍 & Saizeriya 🍽🍷😊 ~ 35 trips to Japan so far, prefer not to stay in Tokyo central
Yall need to stop, these spots are hidden gems and need to stay hidden 😂.
We brought the bus ticket from Shinjuku station. The buses were fine. The advice is spot on.
Wow, $4 monorail? Compare that with the $30 Skyline from Narita to Tokyo
I’d love to hike Mount Fuji, that’d be wild. I’m from the US and we have lots of tall mountains here. I’ve hiked a lot here in New England which has lots of smaller but challenging mountains.
With this update - Can I still buy a new suica card from Ticket Machine (which will have shorter waitng time than seeing a person)?
Hi there! Unfortunately, at the moment, they are only available from the ticket offices. The Welcome Suica, however, is available from ticket machines at Haneda Airport.
@@tokyocheapo thank you! I'm traveling with little kids who haven't got phones yet, would love some recommendations on how to avoid buying single tickets!
I visited Japan in the winter, and It was amazing. However, I live in Chicago IL so the winter in Japan was LIGHT compared to what I am used to lol
If i book Shinkansen thru KLOOK, can i also pay for Larger luggage ? Me and my wife will have 2 large suitcases for our journey Tokyo to Osaka in September.
Getting at least 30 suica cards...where would you recommend to go
where are the best places in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto etc to buy beautiful dog kimonos please?
We was in Tokyo 3 Weeks ago. After a very bad evening in Kabukicho we got back to our hometown where the Hotel was... Asakusa. We was looking for a new bar that is literally "not as suspicious as the ones we've seen in Kabukicho". Yea... you can guess where it ended up after we walked by by accident and Sakura-san called us in. After that we went there for 3-4 more times during our trip. Loved it. We also played with that aligator :D Will definitely come back this or next year. Great time!
People who are obsessed with Ghibli 👇🏻
and when is the firework is it during the festival? like golden week
im from Hawaii so the humid i understand and im used to it but i do wanna see hot spring and cool leaves from the trees
Saw this in May this year and was great.
about how much was the custom stamp?
Wait, I can use my iPhone Suica card with my US dollar from my debit card?
Muito obrigada por terem realizado um vídeo tão completo e detalhado. Vai me ajudar muito a planejar minha visita ao monte fuji
