■About me
Hi, I’m Nao. I was born in Yokohama and grew up in a Buddhist temple in the countryside of Hyogo prefecture. Life in urban and rural areas and unique experiences in a temple can bring other perspectives on Japanese things.
I love sharing Japanese things with you, so please always tell and ask me what kind of videos you want to see in the comments.

How often do you use cash in a month? I already used 3 times this monthΣ੧(❛□❛✿) Thank you for watching ٩( ᐛ )و
【Correction】
1:52 & 2:02
I wanted to say you should carry a ¥1000 bill with you
The last time I used cash was in Dec 2019. With COVID-19 happening, we gradually went cashless. Now, I'm 100% cashless haha
@@mangomacaron01 Thank you for watching 😙 It's ideal that you don't need to carry any cash 😍Not yet in Japan but almost😂
Something here, for instance, duty stamps, can be bought only by cash, but almost everything else, even a cup of coffè that costs only 1 euro, can be paid by credit card.
I was just in Japan this past November and I have got to say this is one of the best videos I've seen in terms of content and explanation. Fantastic Job! I can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment😘 I will keep working on another good video. See you soon😎
Also if you want to break 10,000 yen bills, some arcades have machines that will break 5,000 and 10,0000 bills into 1,000.
Arigato Gozaimasu for the video. Very informative, showing 1 yen and 5 yen coins in the introduction.
Thank you for watching and for your advice...?😂
I just came back from a trip to Japan and tried to always carry cash since everyone says that... Almost every place took cards. The only two places I can recall that didn't, were the machines for recharging IC cards, and a dive bar. The machine at the airport that I got the IC card from accepted credit/debit cards, but other recharge machines only accepted cash.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It must be helpful😘 Also, appreciate for visiting Japan and watching this video😉
I had the same experience but I did have random taxi drivers who only accepted cash and I was not anywhere profoundly rural. Always good to be prepared.
Which towns did you visit?
@@nemanjarakic6815 Tokyo, Sapporo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Takayama.
@@nemanjarakic6815 Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Inuyama (Meiji-mura Museum), Nagakute (Toyota Automobile Museum)
Thank you for the very informative and detailed explanation. I returned from Tokyo 2 days ago with many coins no matter how much I spent. I wasn't aware there were donation boxes at the airport to slot in my coins until I watched your video. Thank you, I will keep it for my next trip.
Thank you for watching😉 You can also use some small coins to buy beverages from vending machines👌 Thank you for visiting! See you next time😎
I tried to buy gifts from T3 with my balance Yen and coins, but it still has some change. No issue, I will keep it for my next trip. Thank you for your kind advice.
Thank you for your awesome videos!!!
We just came back from Japan and our masterplan was always:
1) Get money from 7 ATM hey work with most cards and also have a lot of extra languages (Its funny when a machine thanks you in bad german ^^)
2) Load your Suica with a 10k, you can pay with it in most places so the amount of 1 or 5 yen you get back is absolutly minimal
3) Use 10 Yen in drinking vending machines
4) The rest of our change we used für shrines that dont charge entry
Worked for us
Thank you for watching and for your advice😊
It's also a good idea to use small coins for vending machine💯
Even machines don't speak other languages well...😂
The currency exchanges are expensive! But the ATMs (with a no foreign transaction fee debit card) are a much better way to go. You can order currency before you go to Japan too.
Thank you for watching and for your advice😘
Thank you for the information. Arigato gozaimashita.
Thank you for watching😘
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for watching😊
👋Hi Nao, I am hearing tips. Thanks
Thank you for watching again😉 Have a good weekend😎
Cash is king . It’s pretty safe to carry cash on the streets . Unlike Europe where pick pockets are allowed to do as they wish without police being strict .
Thank you for watching😉 Yeah, Japan is relatively safe I believe👌
Revolut Visa card works in japan (my friend used it over there) and there is no fee
You might get a poor exchange rate instead
@@discinfiltrator_gamesYou can purchase Yens from your Revolut account and when you pay with your card you will use those instead of the currency you normally use; so there should be no exchange fees. I did this strategy in the Czech Republic and had no trouble ☺️
@Unmeijones Thank you for watching and for your advice😉
@@discinfiltrator_games ??? Hey do you mean?
@@Unmeijones if your account is in a different currency (EUR, USD), if you don't get charged per transaction, they will apply a worse exchange rate to your local currency than if you paid with a card that takes a commission per transaction
Pro tip, use coins at vending machines. Buying Strong Zero using all 10 yen coins from a vending machine is great!
Haha I see you love Strong Zero😉 Thank you for watching!
@@JapanwithNao Thanks for the fun video. I visit Japan every year, its my favorite country 0to visit. Because of this, I enjoy watching videos about travel tips from local Japanese people.
I also love Japanese music, mainly rock. I attend live shows in Shimokitazawa and other areas in Tokyo.
I post Japanese music reactions and reviews on my other CZcams account.
Haha Shimokitazawa is a great place for that😉 Thank you for watching anyway, and hope your channel will success, too😎
I always use the ATM in 7-11 they have good exchange rates.
Thank you for watching again😆I’ve heard that! 7-11 is so convenient as we all know! I’ve been there twice this week already☺️haha
I could have saved quite a bit of money if I had known about those last year xd. I’ve seen in a video and that the fee is less that 2€. I’ll definitely use it next time.
Thank you for watching😉 I also wanted to show you this video last year😂
Credit cards like visa or Mastercard charges not very gd currency rates vs what you can get after exchanging cash to yen
Thank you for watching and for your advice😉
Great video! Unfortunately I am arriving with only 10000 and 5000 notes...any tips on where to trade for smaller bills? I'm assuming currency exchange would charge for that even though it's yen-yen exhange
Thank you for watching😉 When I want to get smaller bills, I go to convenience stores and buy a cheap snack, and use 10000😉
Actually some shops can change a lager bill to smaller bills by free but you need to speak Japanese so...😲
Thank you again!
How about getting electronic IC card on your iPhone before going? Can you use everywhere?
Thank you for watching😉 Not everywhere but you can use it most of places👌
Bullitt Train is expensive. But do I apply a JR discount for availability to save money 💵?
Thank you for watching! If you book a ticket earlier, you can get a discount👌
can you help how can i go from tokyo to shimoda prince hotel and from this hotel to kyoto?
Thank you for watching👌 It's best to ask Shimoda prince hotel if you gonna stay there😉
Does the airport have 7/11?
or is it better exchange rate outside the airport?
Thank you for watching! It depends on the airport but at least Haneda airport has😉
I think you can exchange there but may find some other cheaper places in cities😀
@@JapanwithNao My arrival would be on Narita Airport
They have👌
Wise debit card gives very good rates but unsure if many outlets accepts it
Thank you for watching😉
Great videos. Quick correction... you say TEN thousand when you mean ONE thousand. Check the video at 1:52 and 2:02. Instead of the "*" perhaps put "I meant 1,000" to clarify. (^.-) Just a suggestion. Thank you for helping me enjoy Japan!
Thank you for watching again😉 Yes, I did...😢 I'll write a correction on my first comment👌 Thank you for your advice anyway! Have a good day😘
so basically you are saying it is better to bring smaller notes like 1,000 yen rather than 10,000 yen which some restaurants had a hard time exchanging right? so breaking into smaller notes would smoothen your journey right?
More like when you go to restaurants in Japan, it's a good idea to carry 1,000 yen just in case😉 Thank you for watching😊
@@JapanwithNao The Problem is the money changer in my country often had only bigger notes like 10,000 yen. So it was hard for me to get smaller notes when arrived in Japan without exchanging them with local shops or restaurants.
@@Cubs3344 Your hotel should be able to change larger notes for you but not necessarily a huge amount all at once since they are not a bank.
@@shawnbell6392 thanks for the tip.
I have a question, don't know if you can answer me.
Do ALL ATM machines charge you a withdrawal fee? No matter the currency? Because that's unheard of here (Europe)... unless it's a scam ATM.
It seems to depend on your credit card, but it's mostly between free and 1.5USD as far as I searched😃 Thank you for watching😘
@@JapanwithNao what about debit cards?
@@marta178 For the ATMs I've used in Japan, they normally charge a 220 Yen transaction fee when withdrawing cash with a debit card. Those are reputable companies, such as 7 Bank.🌸Heidi
@@marta178 It's only unheard of in Portugal, where the Portuguese government has passed a law blocking banks and merchants from charging withdrawal fees. In all other European countries, fees are charged, but can be waived if you're a customer at the bank the ATM is connected to.
@@HeckoX never been charged a withdrawal fee in the UK where I live. Never been charged in Italy, France or Spain either. Hence my question. Dunno if the fees only apply to CCs. Hence my question.
SUICA CARD?
So it is besser to change the most money at a atm. Shop better then at airport?!
You can withdraw some money at a convenience store's ATM. Not sure, It's the cheapest but easier and can be found everywhere in Tokyo😎
@@JapanwithNao the cheapest way is paying per card. 7 bank takes to much fee. 110yen and 4%.other Banks take 220yen but no fee... So its cheaper.greets from Japan
I’m confused is he saying carry ¥1000 bills or ¥10,000 bills?
I wanted to say that you should carry ¥1000 bills😉
Apology for my mistake 🙌 Thank you for watching👌
If someone says cash only and don't take PayPay, they lose my business.
Tourist hack: after you have seen one temple you have seen them all.
Thank you for watching😂
What do you mean??
What an ignorant comment
Even better: watch all the spots you wanna visit on CZcams and then you don't need to visit. 💀
@@amansharma2870the eating part is hard to enjoy through CZcams.
Can't exchange notes for notes due to hygiene reasons ha what a joke
Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
In this aspect, Japan is way too backdated. Japan should introduce a cashless system asap.
Thank you for watching 😎 Fingers crossed!
