Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm sharing all my expert tips & tricks for an unforgettable Japanese adventure.

I've taken over 15 trips to this country and in this video I've compiled everything I wish I knew when I first started traveling here.

Japan is generally regarded as powder snow it is so light and fluffy that you can just blow it right off your hand.

I would recommend at least a week and even better 2 weeks.

✓Get an IC card for easy train travel.
✓Use Google Maps for navigation.
✓Book hotels close to train stations.
✓Bring an umbrella regardless of season.
✓Use eSIMs for mobile data.

Getting lost in big cities — Use Google Maps and ask for help; Japanese people are polite and helpful.
Navigating public transit with luggage — Use luggage shipping services or take taxis with large luggage.
Language barrier — Learn a few phrases; English is widely understood in big cities.
