    The reason why everything is 3 and not 4 is because in many Asian cultures, 4 sounds similar to death. That's why in Japan the number 4 is avoided. Buildings does not have level 4 and in some buildings floor levels 40-49 are skipped

    I will be traveling to Japan in October and staying for 2 weeks we are staying in Tokyo but want to visit Kyoto and Osaka can we visit these places at a reasonable price without purchasing the JR pass? When do you feel it’s worth it to buy the JR pass?

    • @TheLoversPassport
      @TheLoversPassport  Před 10 měsíci +1

      We think the JR is worth it if you are doing lots of day trips and taking tons of bullet trains in a week. We only took 2 bullet trains so it was not worth it for us.

    What was customs and immigration like when landing in Japan? I haven't seen too many people talking about the declaration forms given on flight or in the airport when you land. That's one thing I'm super nervous about. I'm confused on if it's required for all passengers regardless of what they brought with them, or only for those that meet the restricted items listed.

    • @TheLoversPassport
      @TheLoversPassport  Před rokem +1

      Every person entering the country goes through customs! It was super easy - just fill out a form whether or not you are declaring something, show them your passport and you're on your way! They have lots of people in the airport to help you if you get confused!

    • @anouhime
