Ethan I wanted to mention how hard these are to get for foreigners. They only offer a few hundred tickets each month. We got ours from the Lawson ticketing website last September for our October visit (they roll the tickets out 1 month in advance, I.e. tix for Oct 10 come available for online purchase Sep 10. Each of the four of us got on separate computers and kept hitting refresh! refresh! trying to log on and complete the purchase. After 45 minutes or so I broke thru and bought our tix. Only ten bucks each but what a pain (but totally worth it)! Note the place is always busy- we went on a October Friday afternoon and it was PACKED, but super cool! Do it!

You can buy them in Japan at a machine found at 7-11 or Family Mart. The problem is that those machines are in Japanese only. My friend and I went to Japan a few years ago and she assured us that we could buy the ticket in Japan. But we didn't read Japanese... one of the staff at 7-11 helped us got the tickets.

Plus, bring lots water and a fan! Take lots of breaks in between! They sell electric travel fans for about 1000¥, super cheap and very convenient! Saved my butt on my last trip. Haha. Otherwise I hope you have a great time! :)

A note about JR Passes, while you need to buy them in advance, it is possible to buy them too far in advance because they will have a redeem by date! I learned this the hard way on my last trip, but the JR people were very nice and got me my pass anyway.

I always learn where to go and what to see as I travel. His way of travelling ensures that your entire trip is seeing things you can find out about from America or wherever your home is. It is sad if that is the "beat way to visit Japan", with a choose some from a canned travel package with many choices. Like a kind of "live" predigested Japanese village as seen through the eyes of a concierge at a top hotel. YMMV.

Paolo is giving me infos to what to do even before going to japan is such a blessing that I didn't even skip any ads on this video just to pay him back ur awesome Paolo!! Hope u bring more amazing content in this platform!!

Speaking of the Teamlabs museum, I highly recommend it. Get those tickets early and also get to the museum early. On popular days there could be waits of 2hrs+.

I’m going today! All this preparation by watching Paolo sensei and Maiko has been めっちゃ役に立つそう

My husband and I are going to Japan again at the end of this year and something we struggled with the first time we went is making reservations ahead of time without a local phone number. Anyway, thanks for the app suggestions (and the other tips) Paolo! Your videos are always helpful :D

Thanks to Mobal, our trip to Japan became a lot easier to navigate the train stations and actually helped me communicate to the locals.

Tip 2 is absolutely clutch. Defo call your hotel to make these reservations. Works like a charm

You opened up Japan in new ways to me.I love your day in a life videos.

I can't recommend the JR Pass enough. It makes using most public transport a breeze, and allows you to take the Shinkansen all over Japan, saving you hundreds of dollars in fares. You won't need to bother buying tickets, and you can just stroll past ticket gates by flashing your pass and passport. Just pick a train and go explore.
