10 Must Know JAPAN Travel Tips No One Talks about ...like POLICE

These Top 10 Japan Travel Tips are based on what I wish I knew before moving to Japan. This serves as a Japan Guide for travelers planning Japan travel and what to do when stopped by a Japanese Police officer. This Tokyo guide also shows what not do in Japan as well as things not do in Japan based on Japanese culture. These Japanese Travel Tips cover Tattoos in a Japanese Onsen, Non-tipping culture, riding the train in Japan, Wifi in Japan, Japanese Hotels, Japanese Police, etc. Basically, these are the things to know before going to Japan. More information is listed below.

SIM CARD
Another options is to get a SIM card for your unlocked mobile device. You can go to most major electronics store and they should carry it. There are a few options, but I’ll cover the 2 basic types that I think is the best for travelers.

(1) SIM card with a daily data transfer limits 220mb per day. You can get it for 7 days or 15 days.

(2) SIM cards with a total data transfer limit of 1.5 Gb or 3GB that work for 30 day period. It doesn’t have a daily transfer limit which I personally prefer. And if I use up all the data in only a few days, you can just buy a new card.

(* Note that the prices and data plans are always changing so depending on when you see this video, prices might have already changed. )

1. Please remember that when japanese people speak, subtitles don't show up in front of your eyes.

[JosiahSWhite]

I was stopped by the police simply because they wanted to practice their english

[jonrivera]

"Always be respectful to the culture."

Amen, brother

[sythepie]

I'm watching a lot of these types of videos before going to Japan when I'm older. I don't want to look like a rude foreigner in Japan

[ericgutierrez]

Bro, I’m actually gonna live in Japan because I found a job as an animator for Madhouse, I learned a lot of Japanese so I can communicate with them but also took some of your tips as well, moving here wasn’t easy but it is a dream come true and getting this job wasn’t easy either, 3 other studios turned me down and I was waiting weeks for each studio, I was lucky that I got this job, this is a dream come true

[MizuSky]

3:07 "Maybe the older generation will come up and say something to you"

[momokolove]

Americans: "When I came to japan I was shocked I could drink alcohol with 20. Wow!!!"
Germans: *laugh*

[Spycari]

No one:
also anime: running with a slice of bread

[Kim-znrj]

I’m Japanese and I can say what Paolo mentioned in this video are 100% accurate. I’m impressed how well you covered all the exemptions and helpful side notes. Well done!!!

[dannypqliar]

How to blend in while living in Japan: wear a t-shirt that says "Tokyo".

[mikemccartney]

“It’s extremely rude to eat while walking in public so let me do it on camera for your enjoyment!!”

[erretpv]

I'm Japanese.
Everything is fine if you are honest and humble.

[Marcus-jiyu]

Japan: It's not ok to eat and walk because it bothers other people around you.
Also Japan: It's perfectly fine to smoke inside restaurants, other people who don't smoke will just have to deal with it!!!

[teebooli]

I think some important ones you missed are:


- always clean up after yourself, even at fast food restaurants, and definitely don't litter
- don't blow your nose in public and especially at the dinner table

[TokyoCapsuleCollection]

I am Japanese. Thank you for making this video to introduce Japan. It is a very detailed and nice video. The depreciation of the yen has made travelling to Japan easier. I hope many people who see this video will come to Japan.

When I was a kid my dad was stationed in Spain with the USAF. If my parents were having a party and ran out of something, they would send me to the bodega down the block to buy the booze. I was 9...
