Since I'm learning Japanese I picked it up fast and got annoyed how he said it 😐

I've traveled to almost three dozen countries -- the Japanese are the most polite and helpful people I have met anywhere. I stopped a man on the street to ask directions. Turns out, he was in a terrible hurry and did not have any time to help me. So he found somebody else, a married couple, who went out of their way to help me. And in the Narita train station, I asked a woman how to get to my connection. She was with a group and none of them spoke any English. So they all, every one of them, walked with me to my connection -- and it was about a seven minute walk. If Japanese are this kind and thoughtful for strangers who are foreigners, how are they with friends and family?

People all over the world whining about wearing a mask, and then there's the Japanese who just wear them as a courtesy move, even before Covid. Seems like we can all learn a little from the people of Japan.

50 MUST know JAPAN Travel Tips Video starts @1:05 1. Carry Passport w/ you - tax exceptions for foreigners 2. Face Masks - worn for courtesy 3. Wear comfortable shoes - a lot of walking 4. Metro etiquette - no talking on phone & no eating 5. “Kawaii” - act of being cute 6. Taxis - very expensive, use other transport if possible ie. metro trains 7. No rubbish bins anywhere 8. Kakigori - shaved ice dessert 9. Bullet Train - fast & convenient 10. JR Train - pre plan trips (unlimited train rides) 11. Suica or (Passmo) - tap to ride trains, can be used on vending machines too 12. Food - sushi, ramen, udon, omni rice, wagyu beef & donburi (Recommends Sukiya) 13. Convenience stores - ready to go food 14. Japanese People - very pleasant, amazingly helpful 15. Sim for phone (unlimited data) ie. Due to Language barriers phone data a necessity 16. Google Maps 17. Subscribe to Lost LeBlanc - Shameless Plug 18. Pachinko - Slot machine game 19. Legal to drink on the streets in Tokyo - convenience store for Alcohol 20. Safety - Japan fairly safe 21. Tipping - NOT required, can be rude to tip 22. Sleeping Pods/Capsules - affordable accommodation 23. Cash - Most small business won’t accept card 24. Sakura - Cherry Blossom season 25. Rules are black & white in Japan 26. Onsen Baths - nude baths 27. Travel w/ friends 28. Remove shoes when required/requested 29. Toilettes are amazing 30. Walking & eating is disrespectful 31. Wifi speed is fast 32. Smoking very common 33. Japan can be expensive & affordable - depends on activities 34. Cute dogs 35. Luggage struggles - lots of stairs 36. Plugs/power outlets - are same in Japan as North America 37. Free water in restaurants 38. Tap water is drinkable 39. Table charges & min spend in some restaurants/cafe 40. Queues everywhere - waiting in line is normal 41. Sake - Japanese Liquor (Rice base) 42. Japanese know how to get it down (Dance breakout) 43. Japanese accommodations are very small 44. Main Japanese cities - Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka 45. Narita International Airport - distant airport from city 46. Trains stop around 12:30am -1am 47. Religion - Shinto 48. Yamato Shipping - Leave luggage at 7/11 or Lawson & they ship to final destination 49. Rude to point 50. Visit Japan - it is EPIC!

Yup, the japanese are really great people. When me and my family went (5 days) , we were staying in an air bnb, however when we got there and got off the metro we were completely lost. Thankfully a lovely lady came up to us thinking we were lost and when we showed her where we needed to go she showed us, and walked most of the way with us too which was a very kind and helpful gesture. I can’t wait until I save enough money to go back again!

I traveled Japan for 3 months without internet 🧐 I think it’s just a matter of organization. I would just organize everyday where to go and how to go before leaving my accommodation. I don’t know exactly where you moved in Japan. But during my 3 months few years ago, I saw cherry blossoms literally everywhere in every city. About smoking, you are not allowed to smoke everywhere, in fact, you can see in the streets an special area where you are allowed to smoke. Japan is amazing 😍

Camila , did the same thing last year and I never had a problem,I did my homework from the States before I left and before I left my room in my hotel in Shinjuku .

I spent 2 weeks in Tokyo and most of these points were very accurate. I only brought a carry on bag and washed my clothes in my room and I spent less than $1000 us dollars minus hotel and flight for my entire trip. Total trip cost was close to $4000 us dollars. I miss it and plan on going back soon.

My father loved Japan and had a tip to share; If you know even a smattering of Japanese, don't let anyone know in business meetings. You learn more and people don't start hiding from you to have conversations. Stay Lost.

Japan was one of my favourite places. We too also experienced the people going out of their way to help us even if they had to mime to do so, and often it was unsolicited. Definitely one of my top shelf travel experiences! ☺️

There are so many things that are affordable in Japan as long as you do your homework ahead of time.

Japan has an amazing luggage forwarding infrastructure. We traveled around a lot and never had a problem with it and it helped lighten our load. There is a fee structure based on size and weigh of bags but found it an affordable stress free option.

I was disappointed with Chinese music for the introduction. Well after that is acceptable, effort is greatly appreciated. Japan stopped absorbing Chinese culture more than 1400 years ago, and then made its own development.

I backpacked alone for a month in Japan on a really tight budget. Instead of the JR pass I recommend to everyone to use the night buses. There are a lot of different companies that provide this service and it's a lot cheaper than trains. You can also save up the money for the night stay in an hostel/hotel. It's really convenient. Also hostels are often cheaper than the capsule hotels especially in places like shibuya

Welcome to Japan, and enjoy your next travel 😆❤️

I absolutely agree with you the Japanese people are the most helpful people in the world that I have ever met.. The go out of their way to help you find your destination - not by just giving instruction, but walking with you to show the place even when they are busy and in the rain. I felt very guilty after twice requesting for help and both times they did walk me for quite a distance to the destination. We never do that again. Until today Japan is the No 1 best country in the world in terms of the tourists sights, culture, food, tradition, cleanliness, orderly and above all the people - very cultured, polite and helpful.

Can’t wait to go to Japan. Topping my bucket list rn

One tip: don’t buy a sim card at the airport , it’s really expensive. If you do, don’t buy the first option you see, there are a lot of companies that may sell the same plan with different prices. My recomendation is to buy from the jr pass official web site, and as well as the jr pass, there are sim cards from 8 to 32 days with unlimited data. It’s far more chepear, even with the added shipping. Just make sure to not wander to any sketchy website that may look at first glance like the official one.
