🌺 ABOUT US
Aloha! We are a worldschooling family with three young kids. Our home base is the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. We've been living a nomadic lifestyle for the past 15 years. We hope to inspire you to begin your own quest!
Perfect! Going to Haneda next week, thanks for all the vids.
Whether you arrive at Haneda or Narita airport, I highly recommend taking the Airport Limousine Bus into Tokyo. Check online for their various stops in Tokyo. It may cost a bit more but you won't have to lug your baggage, transfer to different trains or get lost in the train station. Buy a ticket in the arrivals lobby after clearing Customs n Immigs. (There might be discounts for round trip tickets, seniors). You're allowed 2 pcs of luggage to go in the bus bay. Board, sit back, enjoy free wifi. There's even a toilet on board.
Great information, thanks for sharing!
Do buses stop nearby hotels, for example?thanks
@@mishunot. You will need to check their schedule online. I stayed at the Tokyo Hilton Shinjuku and the bus stopped there only at certain times. Also check what train station is nearest to your hotel and see if the bus stops there. You can always take a taxi from that particular stop to your hotel. If you're using USD$ the exchange rate makes the cost manageable.
My travel agent booked me a Company called "Green Tomato" that had a driver waiting for me at the airport.
After a 10+ flight, it was a Godsend just to be able to walk into arrivals and have someone standing there with a sign with my name on it to drive me to my hotel. Rather than having to worry about finding the train or bus depot.
The price was quite reasonable as well, I think it worked out to about 26 dollars.
Bus is cheaper 😂 trains too 😊
Thank you, very helpful video!!! Heading there in March...
Very informative thanks for the information just in time we needed before travel
So helpful. Many thanks. 🐥🐥🐥
Thank you!! Just what i was looking for!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for this! Made me feel better about my trip on Wednesday!
You’re welcome!
love what you do
Something that’s not talked about enough is checking with your mobile carrier about their international roaming service before ordering a pocket WiFi or SIM card - so far, I’ve only seen one video advise that. My carrier offers free text and basic data, with upgraded data for $15 a week. Considering I mostly need my phone for Google Maps and some light web scrolling, that’s plenty for me.
Excellent video for first-timers to Japan like me ...... going in a few weeks! Thank you.
Me too. See you there 😂
Thanks Mate🙏
Watching this 2 hours before I land in Haneda - thanks for the tips!
Finishing our time in Japan
Thank you to and your and wife’s great Japan travel information.
So happy to know this, Thank you!
Thanks for the tip on where to pick up the pocket wifi from Japan Wireless👍🏼
Thank you very much for this VERY INFORMATIVE video. We wil arrivie HND after midnight, so we will follow your recommendation and queue up for a taxi.
Thanks! Heading to Japan mid March arrival HND. I appreciate your tips.
Happy to help, thank you!
Thanks! I went to Japan last year, but landed in Narita. We are going back next year, but we decided to land at Haneda. This def helps
Thank you very much!!, your vid come first when I searching for "where to buy welcome suica haneda terminal 3" :).
Glad I could help!
Thanks!
Happy to help, thank you!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for the amazing info.im gonna go to japan on 14th april and it is my first time to go to japan.i'm overwhelmed by all of the things i should know or i should do first 😂
I am going to have my second trip to Japan soon too for Cherry Blossom season this time and I will recommend keep watching videos on CZcams and Kensho Quest videos are really helpful! and also when you get there you'll see people are usually very helpful as well and google maps/google translate were my best friend on last trip! remember to book in advance any of the activities that are must to see!
Ask away, we are happy to help :) @Ayattchan, thanks for sharing great tips!
@@Ayattchanthank you for the amazing tips ^^.when will you go to japan?
@@fitriamaliah647 Mid March :)
i think haneda is one of the best airports in the world i have got off a international flight cleared everything in 45 nins
Compare to Las Vegas and Japan I find it very easy for me to travel in Japan because they have so many transports since I never learn how to drive
Thanks for the guide. We decided to take the Keikyu line but there are trains going to different destinations running on the same track. We got on the wrong train and figured it out after several stops. Then it was hard to get the right train even with Google maps because the information on the train itself flashed so fast in Japanese and English as it was coming into the station. We got to our hotel eventually. That was hard after a long flight and first trip to Japan
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. It certainly can be confusing and you're right, the displays only show for a short time! But glad to know that you got to your hotel :)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going on my first ever solo Japan trip on April 18th and since it's going to be my first I'm actually quite a bit nervous 😅 but your videos have given me some confidence boost! Also question: is it true that there is another type of SUICA card that will let you refund your remaining card balance? If so where can i get that one?
HI, yes you can get a regular SUICA card but currently it is only available at major stations in Tokyo and at some JR ticketing offices in Tokyo. I suggest going to Tokyo station if you want to purchase the regular green SUICA card.
Another great video; much appreciated. For those arrival very late at night, i.e.: closer to midnight, is the taxi into Tokyo and to surrounding western "suburbs" the only option, or, does the monorail and train lines still operate till the early hours of the morning? (I understand they do have to shut down for maintenance and safety checks). Thank you.
Hi, the last train and monorail runs before midnight and don't start again until around 5:00 am. there might still be some buses depending on where you are going. Otherwise, there are plenty of taxis and almost all take credit card.I wish there were more options.
If you are a first timer take advantage of the buses or taxis. The last thing you want to do after a long travel day is work your brain even harder navigating the rail system first thing haha. Great vid as always 🙏🏾📿
Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing!!
Rail system isn’t bad if using google maps
@rye1108 That's not always true.
Shijuku station is a whole different animal.
Even with Google maps telling me what train to catch at which platform, I got hopelessly lost in there.
Taxis in Japan are extremely expensive.
We arrive around 10:15pm. What would be the best option to pick up a pocket wifi or sim card around that time? We plan on taking the monorail to the hotel near hamamatsucho station
Thank you! Going to Haneda in 4 days and this is very helpful. Does Customs search every bag? If so, do they look at everything? Our bags are packed to the top and it would be tough to get them in good shape while being rushed.
We had nothing to declare and they didn’t search our bags at all. Maybe double check which items are prohibited from being brought into Japan and what amounts need to be declared.
Thanks for the video.
Can you put the same like Nirata airport with all the information including pocket wifi .We are going there in July.
Yes, we are working on it :)
We will be arriving midnight at Haneda..this is so helpful! May I ask if Suica Card purchase can be made through credit card or cash? Ty!
Hi, for sure you can purchase by cash. I am not certain if credit card is accepted, but there are ATMs in the terminal where you can get cash as shown in the video.
thanks so much. as always, very helpful. I hear IC cards are not available temporarily. is that true? should I somehow try to order it online before arrival or right there at Haneda, just purchase on the spot?
Hi, I should have been extra clear about this in the video but things can change!
As of mid February 2024 you can buy both Welcome SUICA and PASMO Passport at both Haneda and Narita Airports in Tokyo. If you want to purchase the regular SUICA or PASMO IC cards you can do that at Tokyo Station. There are other places where IC cards are available but what I listed is definite, at least for now.
Hi there! Thank you for the updated information. Your channel has helped me immensely in planning my trip. Would you know if haneda sells the actual suica (green) card? If so where? And if not where could i get one? I plan to make multiple trips to japan and this card would be nice since its good for 10 years. Thank you in advance!!
Hi, I asked the JR office at Haneda and they said they currently do not sell it at Haneda. They recommend going to Tokyo Station where for sure, at least a couple of weeks ago it was available at Tokyo Station. currently only Welcome SUICA is available at Haneda.
@@KenshoQuestthank you so much for the information, greatly appreciated!!
Hi , thanks so much for your videos. They have been very helpful. My wife and I are going to Japan next month. We are getting to Haneda Airport and then we want to take the shinkansen to Kyoto. Which train do I have to take from Haneda Aiport to get to the shinkansen? TIA
Hi, if you are going directly to Kyoto after arrival at HND, then assuming you have already purchased your Shinkansen tickets then take the Keikyu train to Shinagawa Station where you will board the Tokaido Shinkansen to Kyoto. You can also purchase or pick up Shinkansen tickets at shinagawa station
Thanks for the video! I'll be traveling in a few weeks and as I get there quite late (10:30 pm according to the plane ticket) I wanted to know where to go to speed up the process. I am a bit scared that some of the sim stores will be closed by the time I'm done with immigration 😢
Hi, yes most will be closed so we highly recommend you book in advance and have your SIM or pocket WiFi sent directly to your hotel or nearest station. During checkout you will have options for delivery
Get an esim card. Install before leaving your home country.
This was a really informative video. I’m picking up pocket wi-go at HND but I’m leaving out of NRT airport. Can i drop my pocket wi-go there? Or must i drop it off where I picked it up?
The pocket WiFi usually comes with a return envelope that you can drop in a Japan Post mail box to return.
Helpful video mate! Can you confirm if there is a limousine service to Ginza?
Yes, there is an Airport Limousine Bus from Haneda to Ginza. Here is the timetable: www.limousinebus.co.jp/guide/en/timetable/
@@KenshoQuest Yes, I saw this link earlier. It seems this particular route is out of service as it is shaded grey!
@@harshkabra Oh, sorry, I didn't notice that. Yeah, it does look like it's out of service.
Hi there, love your videos! Can I pick up a child Suica/Pasmo at the machines? I had read previously that these were only available at the counter
For a child SUICA card you need to go into an office, to show their age. Here’s our video on how to get one:
czcams.com/video/BbvQurJdOnc/video.htmlsi=Hmwonz4S1nT5B5yJ
@@KenshoQuest If our arrival time is 10pm will the office be open?
Thanks for another great video! I have one question, that I hope you can answer🙂 I have red that you can top up the Suica card to 20 000 yen, but since the balance is already 500 yen when you purchase it, does that mean you only can top it up with 19 500 yen more, or is it additioal 20 000 yen?
Hi, the balance cannot exceed 20,000 but I do not know if it has a hard stop programmed into the card or not. But the 500 yen is a deposit, so you might be able to add a total of 20,000.
@@KenshoQuest Yes, the 500 yen is a deposit, so that make sence👌 Thanks for the fast reply by the way, and for consistently putting out quality content🙂
Hello!
Thank you very much for informative video. Really appreciate how your videos makes it easier to plan for first time travelers to Japan.
Do you have any advice for a very early AM arrival? 4:45AM, it seems the Haneda Airport Garden is a good option to just walk around while everything opens up?
I was hoping to get regular Suica in the airport but is that option not available? I understand that there was a chip shortage but recently it seems that it's only available in certain stations but there was no mention of it yet at the airports.
I also tried to reach out via email (your website form), in hopes in getting a referral to Charles Schwab.
Thank you!
Hi, the garden is a good option! Many shops will open by 6am. I asked about the regular Suica in early February 2024 and the JR office at HND said it was currently not available at HND. They recommended visiting the office at Tokyo station where it is for sure available. She also mentioned a particular machine at Tokyo station but I don’t remember the location. But since this was a couple of weeks ago you might want to ask the JR office at HND if they are now available.
And thanks about Charles Schwab, sorry we are very slow to respond to emails as we get so many. Currently, Schwab only offers referrals if customers are making huge deposits but we greatly appreciate you asking😀
What if I going from Haneda to Tokyo Station, then I want to take a subway to Asakusa-Kumarae?
@kenshoquest will you do this for Narita also?
Hi, yes in the near future!
Very helpful but we will be arriving in Haneda at 12am, are the stalls still open? Where do you suggest we get our welcome suica and sim cards? Thanks
Hi, the vending machines for purchasing either welcome suica or pasmo passport will be open. However they are cash only. For SIM or pocket WiFi they will most likely be closed. I highly recommend you book in advance and have shipped directly to your accommodation or near a station where you will be staying. There will be options during your checkout process
@@KenshoQuest Thank you so much 😍
The Seven Banks that I see around Haneda can all be used to top up my old Suica card from years ago right?
Hi, most likely yes as most 7 Bank ATMs near stations have the ability to charge IC cards.
What about these automatic portals supposed to help you go swiftly through immigration and customs, with the QR code you received upon registration online?
At Haneda Airport we have shown our QR code to an immigration officer and gotten a sticker/stamp in our passports (twice). It’s important to us for picking up JR rail passes. I also used my QR code at a machine for Customs, but I think since we are a family, we still had to show our passports to a person, as well. 🌸 Heidi

Thanks for the info. My family will be flying into Haneda from Hawaii with a connecting flight to Sapporo in October. Flying with JAL on both flights. I have a few questions. Will we need to collect our check-in luggage before proceeding thru customs, and then catch our connecting flight? And should we purchase our Suica cards at Haneda or can we do it at New Chitose airport? I'm trying to figure out how much time to give for our layover at Haneda before getting to Terminal 1 for a connecting flight to Sapporo. Mahalo!
We also flew JAL both legs. Yes, we collected our luggage at Haneda and transferred to a different terminal before checking our luggage for our flight to Sapporo. If you want to get a Welcome SUICA card you should get it at Haneda. It’s possible to buy a SAPICA card in Sapporo, but it may not be as widely accepted across Japan as SUICA. It would work in Hokkaido, though.
Be sure to be aware of luggage allotment for your flight within Japan, as it may be less than your flight from Hawaii. Here’s some packing tips regarding that:
czcams.com/video/ih_FskqogVU/video.htmlsi=VWO0LwZ8GZYfmVNL
If both flights are on JAL, take advantage of the JAL Domestic Transfer/Connection Service Counter. Go through immigration, pick up your bags, and go through customs. As soon as you enter the arrival hall, walk a couple hundred feet to the right, and it will be on your left. You can check in and drop off your check-in luggage there for your connecting JAL flight to Sapporo. You won't have to take your check-in bags on the shuttle and check in at Terminal 1.
Can I ask you a question? I know that Sanrio Pasmo passport card expires after 28 days, let’s say I come back six months later can I treat that card as a regular Pasmo card and add money and keep using it?
Sorry, but no. The PASMO Passport will no longer work after 28 days.
is the Welcome suica card available now? I heard there is shortage of chips, so Suica is just back to be available, one card per person. not sure about welcome Suica card.
Just use the Apps
Yes it is! I checked both welcome Suica and pasmo passport are available at terminal 3
I will arrived at Haneda airport and will take the connecting flight to ITM airport, Osaka. Can I purchase Suica card in Haneda airport while I wait for the connecting flight? If yes, where can I get one? Also, Is it better to travel from Osaka, Kyoto, than flight out Tokyo since the Shinkansen pass is very expensive?
HI, yes you can. purchase a Welcome SUICA or PASMO Passport as discussed in the video at those locations. Regular SUICAs are sold out again.
As for transportation, I recommend you consider purchasing individual shinkansen tickets vs flying into ITM but compare the prices. Shinkansen will most likely be faster and a smoother ride since it is more direct, you don't have to go to an airport and no security checks.
Do you know if there are ATMs that will take USD cash (like $100 bills) and change them into yen?
Hi, I do not. However, at Haneda there are a couple of currency exchanges. One is right next to the 7 Bank ATM, the one explained in the video.
How much money would you recommend that I put on the welcome suica card for a 28 day stay? Thanks
There’s no need to load all the value on at once. We usually charge our IC cards in 1,000-2,000 Yen increments. You could put a bigger chunk at first. We don’t like to put too much, in case we were to lose the card.
@@KenshoQuest thank you, I have so e questions regarding JR pass, but I haven't watched your video on that subject yet, may be I'll find the answer there.
If you are catching a connecting flight on JAL or ANA, have you ever considered using the JAL or ANA Domestic Transfer/Connection Service Counter to check in and drop off your check-in luggage? As soon as you enter the arrival hall, walk a couple hundred feet to the right, and they will be on your left. We used it on a recent trip where we caught a connecting JAL flight to Nagoya in Terminal 1. It saved taking your check-in bags on the shuttle and checking in at Terminal 1. This was after a HNL to HND flight on JAL.
In May, we plan to fly to HND on Hawaiian Air and catch a connecting JAL flight to Sapporo at Terminal 1. The question is: Can we use the JAL Domestic Transfer/Connection Service Counter if we fly into HND on Hawaiian Air? We have called JAL and the Haneda Information Center several times and have received conflicting information. It sounds like it may be up to the discretion of the JAL agent there. Have you heard anything about this?
We didn’t use the connection service. Thanks for letting us know about it. Sorry we don’t know the details of who can use it.
For currency exchange, which gives a better exchange? Atm or in person?
We get a better rate using an ATM and proceeding in Japanese Yen. Here’s our video about avoiding ATM fees in Japan: czcams.com/video/kKccD_Ee4iw/video.htmlsi=KDXbb9nH5UB2r_Z7
Q: Our fly will be arrival at HND by 1:00 AM on 5/19/24, It's Mid night, Would you any recommendation? THX.
Hi, need more information about what you need, but most services like picking up pocket WiFis will be closed, vending machines will still be operating. Also, most like you will need to hire a taxi
Have you tried using an international plan from your US provider? I have T-mobile and it seems like I can just pay a fee that will allow me to roam without a giant fee. Why do you opt for the pocket wi-fi?
Hi, I have not personally, but a good friend of mine uses T-mobile every time he visits and hasn't complained of issues. However, I have heard from others of mixed results. So your experience may vary. We personally always get both a pocket wifi and an eSIM - but we use a lot of data!
Is 1.5 hr layover doable(baggage, customs and immigration) for international flights with a domestic connecting flight ?
Hi, you will be cutting it close. If you have all your pre-arrival forms completed ahead of time it will still take 30-45 minutes during non-peak hours. Then you will need to take the train or monorail to either terminal one or two and possibly a long walk. I don't recommend it.
Hello…I am flying into Haneda in July with my 13 year old daughter. Do you know if Japan customs requires a notarized letter (signed by both parents) for a single parent traveling with child? Canada customs has asked me for such a letter when traveling there with my daughter. I guess to make sure that my daughter’s mother is aware of our international travel. Thanks for any info you may have!
Hi, sorry but we have no definitive information regarding this matter.
Where is the haneda garden mall ? Is it inside this terminal ?
Hi, yes it is connect to terminal 3.
Is the 10 year Suica card available at Haneda now?
Hi, as of two weeks ago it was not but please ask the JR office when visiting as it might be available again soon. Otherwise, they told me you can buy at Tokyo Station
We are arriving in Haneda airport and would like to take the bullet train to Osaka. Any tips for that
Hi, the fastest way would be to take the Tokyo monorail to Shinagawa station and board the Tokaido Shinkansen for Osaka. Here are a couple of videos of how to purchase tickets:
czcams.com/video/KglsSHuex0Q/video.html&lc
czcams.com/video/zwMKE3pmBP4/video.html
Do you go through immigration and customs before or after you purchase an IC card?
Hi, great question, yes, you will go through immigration first, then customs. Right after customs you will enter the arrival hall where you can purchase your IC Card.
Thank you
Hello can u please give me some information. I am landing on haneda airport from there i have connecting flight to osaka from domestic airport. But some how i came to know that if I don’t have return ticket i am not allowed board as i m tourist there. Please help me do u have return tickets.
Hi, do you mean you do not have an exit ticket out of Japan? If this is what you are asking then yes, most likely the airline from your originating country will not let you board. The reason for this is if you are not allowed entry into Japan for not having an exit ticket, the airline will have to pay for your flight and then it will be up to them to try and collect that from you. Each airline works a little different but in general this is the rule.
Within Japan, you do not need any return ticket, you can fly anywhere one-way once you are in the country.
Do you still recommend getting a QR code from Visit Japan Web? or is it unnecessary?
I recommend doing it to speed up the immigration process. We did. One QR code per person.
Thank you!@@KenshoQuest
I travelled for the first time to Tokyo (Haneda) two weeks ago. I rushed off the plane (8pm) and went straight to immigration....hundreds and hundreds of people...took 1hr 15mins to get through immigration and customs...so no difference if you take your time or not it seems. The amount of inbound aircraft to Haneda would seem to me that no matter if you take your time or not, maybe consider that at least an hour might be reasonable to clear immigration and customs???
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Going in June. Should I just bring US cash with me and exchange it in the airport?
Personally, we use an ATM at the airport to withdraw Japanese Yen. Here's our video explaining how to avoid ATM fees: czcams.com/video/J6AziGwySZo/video.html
How late do the regular trains run? When we arrive, our projected arrival time will be close to 1730 and we are staying in asakusa.
Hi, they run until almost midnight, no problem for you.
@@KenshoQuest awesome thanks so much !!
Will you guys also be making a similar video for narita?
@@killerangel-qy9ug We hope to sometime in the future!
@KenshoQuest awesome. You guys really have alot of helpful tips. I'm so blessed to have found your channel.
can I still get JR pass when arrival?
The JR Pass must be purchased before arriving in Japan. You can redeem an Exchange Order for your actual JR Pass upon arrival, if the JR office is still open.
Hi, all IC card will expired after 28 days?? what if I will stay more days?
It’s only the tourist version of IC cards (Welcome SUICA and PASMO Passport) that expire after 28 days. Regular IC cards are valid for 10 years. It’s difficult (not impossible) to get a regular IC cards right now, since there is a chip shortage. That’s why I recommend getting a digital IC card, if you have an iPhone with Apple Wallet. Or if you arrive in Osaka you could get an ICOCA card. 🌸 Heidi
And which transport do i get to tokyo station?
Hi, monorail would be fastest. Change to Yamanote Line at hamamatsucho station.
Isn’t it better just to go to a 7/11 to get cash or do you need cash to get your welcome suica?
You could get cash at a 7/11, but there is a Seven Bank ATM in the arrival hall, which is the same company. If you buy a Welcome SUICA from a machine you need cash.
Can I just download a SIM? Cant I just get the JR Pass?
You can download an eSIM. Here’s our video on that: czcams.com/video/H2ZQ6c_jA9U/video.htmlsi=KbOGSwbn2QClvcPp
You certainly can buy a JR Pass. The 7-day ordinary Whole Japan Rail Pass currently costs 50,000 Yen. Here’s our video on whether the JR Pass is worth it:
czcams.com/video/hsrZpVYH-ls/video.htmlsi=GAn1H5PnK4CEmxMY
@@KenshoQuest thanks, im going for 14 days and will probably just get the JR Pass
Disliking this video. You should have explained where to find real Suica cards.
When we asked at the airport at the JR Ticketing Office there were not regular SUICA cards available. They recommended getting one at Tokyo Station. This situation is changing frequently, so it’s best to ask when you arrive.
@@KenshoQuest Thanks, liked and subscribed.
Hey I got a question I got a pasmo card that still has money from may 2023 is that one last 10 years right
Hi, yes, as long as it is a regular Pasmo card then it will work fine. As soon as you use it again, the 10 years resets.
Thanks!
Happy to help, thank you
Thanks!
Thank you!!
