I would also recommend getting a pasmo card when in Japan. It’s only a 500yen deposit and you use it like a debit card and it’s easier to use for buses and trains rather then carrying cash or buying tickets.

I highly recommend learning a small amount of Japanese especially if you visit outside Tokyo, at least basic terms like “Where is the closest ATM/Convenience store/Train station?” And how to order at restaurants, it’s a difficult language but common terms like that can be a huge help! Also keep a look out for scams, a common one it to give foreigners a separate menu with higher prices since they probably can’t read the Japanese menu with the real price. Looking up etiquette like how to behave on the train or at temples/shrines can save embarrassment, foreigners also get a bad rep for being loud and disrespectful and it’s important to learn about a culture before/during your visit!

Tipp for ATMs: 711 charges a fee to take out money. But at least for my credit card (don't know how it is with others), the only ATM where I didn't have to pay a fee was the pink Aeon ATM that you can find mainly in Ministop.

Google maps was spot on when I came to Japan 4 years ago, vwry useful tool navigating the city especially riding the train.

when we went to kobe for some yakiniku, we made the poor decision of going on a weekend with all spots filled. so while roaming, we found a spot which was near empty that looked super luxurious. we had the greatest yakiniku meal finished with cold ramen, and everyone was happy. but after the meal, we found out that the shop worked on reservation and we were super lucky to have gotten a empty space just for us, especially since we went in 1-2 hours before closing time. reservation is super important in certain shops and i doubt we would have been able to get in if not for the japanese speakers we had even if their shop was empty! bless their yakiniku shop...

@@ExplosiveGaurd if you’re going to college after you graduate high school, some colleges have something called “studying abroad” where you can study in another country for a somewhat short amount of time, like 3 months. You still pay, but the school handles the rest I think, including hotels and food(not 100% sure). I’m not sure if every school offers this program, but if they do, make sure they have Japan on their list.

Nothing like a giant piece of rockwool insulation to start off my day.

Japanese is the most difficult language to learn in the world, as recognized by the US government. The people who have the hardest time learning it are European and English native speakers, who take an average of 15 years to learn it. Unfortunately, all foreign translation apps that are not made by Japanese people born in Japan, such as Google, do not work in Japanese at the moment. If possible, I recommend that you hire a Japanese guide when you come to Japan. Recently, the Japanese yen has become worthless, so Christians who came to Japan for tourism, business, and medical checkups have been ravaging Japan, and the Japanese have endured about 80 years since the Pacific War until the weakening caused by US colonial rule, but even if there were no Japanese swords, they would still be angry, even if they were to become human bombs, burn the whole country to the ground, and eat human flesh like in the old days.

Japanese people dont have limited english, you have limited japanese....

Google doesnt translate Japanese well at all. It is far inferior to the quality of translation of European languages.
