- The Tokyo train system is not as hard as you think. With zillions of signs everywhere in various languages, you can get anywhere even without your phone. I'll show you how I navigate Japan's train system and give you some tips if you plan on living or moving here!
I hope all of this makes sense!

Hyperdia is waaaay better than google maps
That one is great too!
For someone looking to go to Japan for the first time, keep in mind that Hyperdia mainly just tells you what trains to take between stations (at least that's what I used to use it for), so if you're just wondering how to get from where you're standing to where you need to go, Google Maps can be better for giving you all those little details (especially walking directions). I think both have pros and cons, but they don't necessarily fill the same need so it's hard to say one is unequivocally better.
Sometimes, i take a longer way or more expensive transportation (=_=) thank you, Google sensei
123newjob I agree, I used Google Maps hours of every day and to narrow down my choices. HYPERDIA didnt seem as useful except it did allow you to filter out Shinkansen that weren’t covered by the JR Pass.
yeh, Iove Hyperdia
Your friend Ash has some of the most natural talent I've ever seen a freelance photographer have. I love how his subjects don't seem posed, how he recognizes perfect conditions; what makes a great artistic canvas for him. He has wonderful intuition.
"get lost a little bit" is a very deep insight for travellers! ...Nerds forever!
I was 19 years old in 1968, my first time in Japan and successfully navigating subway systems in Tokyo and other large cities thru out the world, makes you feel comfortable and a local. Thanks for the post.
I can't get ready in the morning like that. I can't wake up early enough to do the whole makeup thing and make breakfast. You're rockin it girl!
I'm so glad I found your channel..my daughter wants to visit Japan one day and I want to go with her..I never thought I would want to go but it looks so beautiful that I'm inspired and added this to the list of one of the places I want to travel to
I am so glad! Let me know what types of videos you want to see so I can help you!
I have to wake up at 3am to get to work at 4am I feel your pain
ケリーさんいつも投稿者に必ず返信してて偉いな～と思います❗️
You are great because you always reply for all commenters❗️
Hello from Kalamazoo Kelly. I just want to say how much guts it must take to film yourself without makeup. It’s damn impressive and it shows that you have a good self esteem. Bravo. I love how real you are. Great videos!! Keep up the good work.
I always save your videos for right before I go to bed because the combo of your voice and music is so hypnotic and makes me feel so relaxed
That menu looks so cool and retro! Dark alleyway cafe 😂
Gotta do a top 10 😂
@@KellyMorita This has nothing to do with the comment above, but, what phone do you have? Because if you have an iPhone 8 or up, you can use Suica off your phone. Not sure if you've talked about this in one of your videos before. Was it because, just in case you lose your phone, you still have Suica separate from your phone? Anyways, excellent video again! Thank you for doing what you do. Wow, this comment got too long.
just found this series and binged the 12 episode, can really seen how much you've grown and changed across the series . keep up the good work, with the vlogs and in life, it's an inspiration of aspirations.
People always look so adoreable when they wake up, you're no exception c: also loving these vlogs very well done👍
I’ve always wanted to move to japan and by watching your videos, they have really motivated me to do so. I’ve been saving my money and by next year I’ll be living in Japan. Your videos are artistically amazing and entertaining. You’re the best!!
I am so happy to have helped! I will be making more videos to help others who travel or live here!
You need to chill. I mean moving to Tokyo is pretty nice, but if you aren't white (as in European looking) I highly recommend moving to just Tokyo or Osaka. My dad questioned if the nuke did something to the water, that is how shitty and depressing it was. I didn't understand till I lived there for 4 years.
From a fellow Maldini fan :)
youtube account I’m going to live in Tokyo plus I generally know Japanese and have family over there so I should be good.
@@thankyoukeisha you sound like you know what you're doing, I really hope you do, and not end up despising japan like some people..
Yes, on the escalator etiquette only slow/stand on right and pass on the left…just like we drive in the States. Of course, not everyone is aware or onboard with this etiquette here, but most are, especially those who travel a lot because of the airport etiquette.
Was gonna say the same. It's the same rule as driving, slow to the right, pass to the left on highways; but Americans are ignorant...even in their own country.
In Malaysia we follow the same escalator etiquette.
A few months ago in Tokyo there was some news about stopping this habit. The authorities said that it is dangerous to walk up or down the escalator and wants everyone to just stand still.
I guess it makes sense but..I would hate to just stand haha.
U're right, i live in Kyoto and watched a news, saying that standing in the middle is much safer cuz we hold both handrails
Crap! This is a bad news for people who love to be hurry ^_^" LOL
Killing it ! Love the vlog!
I love the ambience of your videos, the music you use, the shots, your voice overs. It reminds me of Life Is Strange.
Man...So jealous. Apps would have been so helpful when I was there around 1989. We stared at the token machine for the subway forever trying to figure it out. A wonderfully nice Japanese man saw us huddled around and spoke to us in English, asking if he could help. He showed us how everything worked, how to pick the correct subway line, etc. He even rode the subway with us to our stop, passing his, then rode back to his stop. He wanted to make sure we got off at the correct stop.
omg i love ur videos so flippin much they literally make my day so much brighter! CANT WAIT TILL I LIVE IN TOKYO
Love your content! Can't wait to visit Japan this year!!!
Thanks for taking us along with you! Another great adventure ! 💕
Your videos are so inspiring and motivating! I’m a first year college student double majoring in Japanese and English and my main goal is to one day teach in Japan and just- I really love your videos ♡♡♡ Thank you for always working so hard on them! ^^
I am so glad you love my videos! Good luck with everything!
Love this series and the direction you're taking the channel. Keep going!
Thank you! I am so glad!
Loved this vlog! You make it look so easy. It’s amazing you do this everyday.
Thanks! haha!
I think that is a good idea to take the train ahead of time & explore. I love your videos you have so much to share about Japan & we get to see Japan thru your eyes.Thank you so much for the time you put into making them ,have a lovely week ( Judy )
Great look inside the transit system over there. One day I hope to make the trip over there. Thanks for sharing!
Please do more videos like this 🙏🏼I’m planning a trip to japan very soon and they are so informative and helpful
I like how you film every episode in this series arround a certain theme!! Really nice😀 Keep up the good work!
You noticed! Haha :D
This is perfect. Gonna be heading to tokyo at the end of March and getting to the know the train system early will help. Thanks!
Great!
I’m loving this series! You re-inspired me to continue my Japanese studies. You’re the reason I actually downloaded and checked out Instagram.
I would love to hear more about your job, especially teaching children! I’ve been preparing for my move to Japan to teach English and you’ve been such an inspiration. Can’t wait for more of your videos 💕
I can understand how hard to teach English for baby kids in Japan :-)same as Japanese English teacher.
I teach English 4 days to kids in a week as Japanese teacher.
So,enjoy your lessons!
thanks for your nice vlog!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the info! This will definitely help me when I come for my trip. 😊
I find your videos so entertaining and educational, thanks for making them!
I am so glad! Thank you!
wow she got 115k subscribers. im sure she's able to monetize this channel and create sustainable ongoing income, in addition to her teaching career. Japan is so expensive, all young people need to consider creating multiple streams of ongoing income. She is a white girl in Japan. She is celebrity by default just because of that - she can make lotta money through online, tv etc..
we also have the escalator etiquette thing in Singapore too! I was in japan last year and I watch all your episodes to help me relish my time there , love always
Your voice is so calming. And that Soul Tree place?? That is my kinda joint. Looked so cozy and neat. Thanks for sharing so much info!
Amazing video as always. You look lovely 🌹 Your videos always make me homesick for Japan. Thank you for sharing.
i found this video really useful! thanks Kelly :)
So far this is the best informative video about Tokyo's trains I've seen. Cause I had to figure all this out by myself during my vacation. And for the first time traveler it's more than overwhelming) )) And now I badly want to visit the cafe) Thanks for sharing this with us!
Very informative..and 💓 heartily expressive while shooting on the river shores beside the bridge...you all are good human beings!!
You can get some more technical aspect of vlogging from this guy's link: czcams.com/video/_qmgl8vhrf4/video.html
Lovely! Keep it up Kelly!
💪
Love this video! Very pretty shots.
Thank you!
Japan is on my bucketlist.
love your posting times, i can watch your videos right after work:D
It seems Tuesdays aren't the best days haha.
In Washington, DC the etiquette for escalators is also to stand on the right and walk on the left. It definitely makes life easier because if you need to stand, you can do so without getting in the way of faster people.
Ya we don’t have that rule 😂 ahhh America haha...
Chicago is the same way when I have visited there. Stand on the right and walk on the left.
I visited Tokyo 2 years ago now and I can also say the train system is AMAZING - so much better than London (where I’m from). I was very nervous navigating my family holiday through the trains but surprisingly we never got lost with the trains (only got lost when we were walking) because like you said there are signs EVERYWHERE. Even during rush hour, the etiquette of the people and efficiency of the trains makes the whole experience so much more bearable (rush hour in London on the other hand is TERRIBLE)!
Flawless!!!
That cafe looked great! So much attention to detail. The menu design is amazing too, and your food looked delicious 😁
In Montreal,Canada we have the same thing for escalators. But we stand on the right and let people pass on the left. Love your videos!
Oh wow I love how when going down the escalator you stand on the left and walk on the right. Here in Austria it's the other way around.
Holy Smoke... Good thing your commute was only for this day. Thanks for sharing your day. Aloha
Haha ya I died
Its going to be my very first visit to japan and so excited about visiting,the different culture sights and sounds touring japan in November for a month! As i have heard its a pleasant experience traveling on the the public transport also I do love driving in many countries and looking forward to experiencing driving in japan.
Thanks for the info! I might need to add that cafe to my trip list!
Excellent job! You're very reassuring about using the train. Thanks for making this video. I hope to someday come to Japan and yes, even ride the train. Hell hai, let's live a little!
Awesome video! I'm intimidated by the train situation. Great evening at the soul cafe!
I got the hang of it so you can to!
Probably a bit intimidating at the beginning, but actually quite easy once you have a go.
its awesome to see your adventures. keep being you, and spread the positive vibes, much love, from Ireland.
You are so funny! I enjoy watching your vlog's, well done every time.
Transportation is one aspect that stresses me the most (everywhere). But since there are so many lines in Japan, and since I want to live there until I'm an old wrinkly lady, this video was really useful! I'll be definitely prepared thanks to your efforts as soon as I get in the land of the rising sun! P.s. you are amazing! 🌸💗
That breakfast looked delicious 👌 #yum
Thank you!
Wow, feels like the train takes all day just to get to your destination! Also the escalator is interesting! Never knew about the slow/stand on the left and pass on the right. Great video overall!
On the DC Metro when people are on the escalators its the same thing, just opposite sides. Stand on the right, walk on the left. Love your videos!
Thank you for your video, it's so helpful and easy to understand explanations on how to use the train system. We visit in 7 weeks! Your friend Ash was so lovely! That aussie accent is so lovely to hear, and he reminds me of the aussie style here in Melbourne. That was so cool he picked out a cafe just like those found in Melbourne and Sydney, big comfy lounges with little private spaces yet open and relaxed! Thank you for sharing your journeys, the more i learn the more i love Japan 🗻😊🌸
🤣🤣🤣 noooooooo not Aussie 😭😭😭 New Zealand 🇳🇿 my friend 👌
OMG I'm so sorry! Especially having a Maori name you would think I would have picked it😉😁 New Zealand is awesome, us Aussie's want to steal their Prime Minister she's so amazing! 😁
LoveLyzKelly thank you for all the videos. I discovered you through Kel's channel and I have been binge watching ever since. Since I decided to move to Japan and pursue my career goals your videos have been such an inspiration. Keep it up! Cant wait to visit all the places youve gone! Maybe we will run into each other some day! lol
Super cool cafe! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Awesome video!!!
Café Soul Tree looks amazing. We have a café here called Micky's that has a similar vibe to it. Quite a homely feel, but with more of a 50s-60s rock and roll edge to it. Love going there.
That’s awesome! Ya I loved it there!
Great vid! ...that pizza or whatever it was looked sooooo good.
The Swedish escalator etiquette is that people in a rush go on the left side and people just standing stand on the right. I made so many mistakes with this in Japan but in Osaka people are really understanding xD
Adept same for germany 😄
Your skin is not horrible !!❝o tsu ka re sa ma de shi ta❞
All of our subway lines are always packed here in Mexico, if you think you had a long train ride that day let me tell you that I used to make a 3 hour journey to get to my last two or three jobs every single day and another 2 1/2 hours on the way back, I did that for about 7 or 8 years, I hope you don´t have to deal with such long train rides, keep up the hard work!!! you´re an amazing human being.
Wow! You could start a business with that much time going home! Hahaha.
@@KellyMorita Yeah! Hahaha some used to tell me that I should´ve started a "mobile" call center...
My friend wants to take me to Japan, this is gonna be so useful, even if she speaks Japanese.
BTW, your voice is so relaxing to listen to
Hi I’m here to enjoy and support you series
That place down by the water looked very relaxing
Yes I’m glad I went!
I’m going to Japan in May for two weeks & I’m gonna have to try this place out! It looks so cool!
Great! Let me know how it goes!
LoveLyzKelly will do! I’m not sure if you’re comfortable with meeting up with your fans in Japan, but if you happen to be in the area when I’m there I’d love to meet up with you & meet you! 🙂 I’m going to a few places, Odaiba, Kyoto, Akihabara, Tokyo & Nara!
I really loved watching this video. Thank you for sharing!
Japan's transportation system is definitely one the best out there. More spontaneous "hidden alley" food restaurants please :)
I was thinking to do a series where I pick a random station to wander around at
I really had a tough day at work :(( seriously...watching your video made me go relax.
Yay! I’m glad! Otsukare!
Ms. Lovely Lyz….I have enjoyed and learned so much about Japan from many of your videos.
I was born and raised in East Lansing, and got my MA at Michigan State, where my dad was a professor. He usually visited Japan twice a year, and helped set up the Japanese Marketing Association. He also often spoke at Japanese universities and corporate conferences. Every year we would host his Japanese students for Thanksgiving and other holidays, and they were truly quite fun and wonderful people.
I had not thought of experiencing Tokyo, until I saw your videos. I have a bit going on here with an upcoming book and cd, but hope to visit Tokyo. This is what I know though....before I visit Tokyo, I will watch as many videos of yours as I possibly can!
BTW, I like it when there is truth in advertising, as your screen name with the word "lovely", accurately describes who you are, both inside and out! I thank you for sharing your world, with....the whole rest of the world!
I will end with my favorite quote...."Follow your dreams, and enjoy the trip". That, LovelyLyz, is something that you are doing quite well!
Best wishes always,
Randy Lazer
Thank you for making this video.
You’re welcome 🙌🏻
Very helpful to know the train system, which can be complicated... thanks.
You're welcome!
Found a private tutor for Japanese and practicing so I can come visit these cool places you show. Keep up the good work.
Yay! Good luck!
Ahh! At 5:37 when you're scrolling through I saw the exact train station I used when I stayed with a host family (Saginuma-eki). I had to transfer at Mizonokuchi to go to school :) So nostalgic. I think the river you were at was near where I went to school (Tama high school). It's so neat seeing this place in your videos over a decade later
I find your videos really relaxing. Great genuine content. And in a non creepy youtube comment type way, you are also very pretty
Thank you!
Dear Kells,
I just love your vlogs and i enjoy watching your videos. Kinda got a crush on you..! Keep on doing a great job 🤗
Going to Tokyo on March! Gonna be my first time overseas without my family members. Thank you for the tips! ^_^
How is your experience so far?
Im from Montreal in QC Canada. We stand on the right and walk on the left. Its funny to read how they are doing it everywhere else! ❤️
New subscriber, and I am loving your videos girl! (:
Thank you for subbing! Welcome!
You always makes me laugh and smile 😂 Ahaha and yeah, I remember crying at some kind of english school? Love your videos always! 😍
First: Ash is amazing. Like, I don’t need to tell you, because you already know, but you are so lucky to have a friend like him! It’s super important to have one of those friends who always knows just where to go or to just explore and eat with. It makes being anywhere an adventure. ❤️
Second, I hope Kel is doing okay. 😕 Fingers crosses things get better for him soon.
Third, I’m still terrified of the train system. Like, in a good, excited way. I know it’s just one of those practice things, but even not having a job in Japan yet, I’ve had nightmares of not having enough time to practice it before work starts and being late to work and just wanting to die on the spot.
That said, I love train travel! As far as I’m concerned, it’s the best way to travel. Especially long distances, when the whole country just falls out before you in a beautiful panorama that somehow feels as if it were just for you. I can’t wait to get lost in Japan.
What’s the worst “lost” experience you’ve ever had?
I am lucky to have a best friend like Ash! So many things I’m grateful for! Check out Kels channel on my gay life in Tokyo!

自分の最寄り駅に来ててとても嬉しいです...😃💖お仕事お疲れ様です。いつも見てます💖
Kudos to you for top-level opsec with regards to where you live. Here you are trying to educate folks on life in Japan and have fun at the same time, and some chinpira want to stalk you. Stay vigilant my friend. I’ve been here for a few decades and I applaud the women who keep a certain discipline about who they are. Oh, btw, excellent-rippa on the transfers. Enjoy Japan, it’s been my first love since 1991!
Love your videos
Thanks!
You actually went to my neighborhood!! Crazy.
Hello I love your videos and I hope I can go to japan one day , its been a dream for a long time and you helped me believe that it will come true thank you so much ❤❤
Lol and I clicked on this video faster than I ever have 😂😂
Thank you for watching this! I am so glad I inspired you!
Same thing here in germany with the escalator just that its standing on the right and walking on the left. But this is mostly in big cities like in Hamburg. The more size decreases the more chaos increases.
Japan has the best coffee shops and restaurants so cool...
It really does!
I was hoping for another epic egg flipping video
I got new pans so my egg flipping game is on pint now 😉
Lol nice!
It's like that on escalators in Australia! I was really surprised because here in NZ it's sorta free for all!
My friends just moved there! So hopefully I'll be visiting soon
I love your videos, I love japan. I hope for one day to be able to live there
It’s an amazing country!
