Japan is Changing | Why I Keep Saying Travel to JAPAN ASAP | Travel Update 2024

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately from viewers about whether they should visit Japan now or wait a little longer. There are many reasons behind these questions. Some are concerned about overtourism and crowded tourist spots, others are worried about the summer heat, the possibility of earthquakes, or the rising cost of travel due to the yen getting stronger.
However, as I’ve mentioned in my previous video, I always say, 'If you want to come to Japan, come as soon as possible.' But I haven’t fully explained why I feel this way.
In this video, I’ll share my thoughts based on 9 key risks that might impact your trip. By watching this video, you will not only understand why you should visit Japan soon, but you will also be able to have a fun and comfortable trip to Japan.
So, stick around and watch until the end!

Mr. Toshi, thank you for your videos and advises. Our family are preparing everything to travel next year to see your amazing country. We would like to travel now but first we need to save enough money, then next year is our closest option. We wait that the things doesn't change to much until then, but even if that happens we will go, because is our golden dream. We are been waiting for this opportunity for more that 15 years. Thank you for you helpful videos.

[TravelSwagger]

Thank you, Toshi, for your insightful videos! My family has been planning our dream trip to Japan for years, and we're finally saving up to go next year. We hope things don't change too much by then, but no matter what, we can't wait to explore your beautiful country. Your advice has been incredibly helpful as we plan our golden adventure. Thank you again🤩

Most countries are experiencing quite a few similar problems. Currency changes, population changes up or down, and the climate is changing everywhere. So we all have to take everything in stride.

I’ll be landing in Japan this coming week! Can’t wait to see what Japan has to offer

[broissey]

I’ll be there in January because I’ve always wanted to go to the Tokyo Dome on a January 4th for New Japan.

[gojirito]

I’ll be literally flying to Japan one month from now. It’s a good thing that I booked it sooner than later to get the best out of trip financially and enjoying it before these challenges you mentioned will come to make it harder in the future.

[davidac]

We'll be arriving in Osaka on Tuesday. I think that will be soon enough. 😅
Thank you Toshi ☺️

[TheAndyzilla]

Hopefully nothing gets worse so quick. Im planning to visit japan in november of next year for my birthday

[nightmareflame]

Thank you for making these videos Toshi!

[rank]

I hope to go to Japan in a year in a half. I hope it will be a good time to visit.

Video muy interesante e informativo (como siempre en este canal❤)
Yo al fin ire este Octubre❤❤❤

Japan has greatly changed from the 80s when I last visited on a working visa. Over tourism is huge now there compared to back then. Not sure if I'd want to go there now. The rural areas are the best imho. Japan is the safest country to travel to. When I went the Emperor Hirohito passed and the entire Japan shutdown to honor his passing. I will always love and respect Japan highly. If I decide to go it will have to be next month or November. I'd go just to eat everywhere. Arigato gozaimasu!

My wife and I will be in Japan mid-October

[Rioudo]

I will be there next week to attend the Tokyo Game Show in Makuhari Messe

and these things happening are also happening worldwide but Japan is handeling it much better.

Thanks for the info. Toshi-san! Do you plan to go to Tokyo Game Show yourself? 😁

[GabrielMasamune]

i have booked my flight in july 2025, hope they don’t turn Japan into a mess

[isabellcheung]

Luckily, I am glad that my mom, my friend and I will visit to Japan this Nov 2024.
The world is changing globally including economic but the worst is the climate change because this may not be able to fix by human capabilities as majority of humans are still not aware of our actions which are affecting the climate change. So let's enjoy ourselves as much as possible. I feel so sad for the young generation for their future which they will face more challenges.
Thank you for your insights and updates as usual.

My American Husband booked our Japan Trip on December 16-21, 2024.
We're so excited because this will be our 1st time to travel abroad together. But as a Philippine passport holder, I will apply for Japanese TOURIST Visa this week and the result will be next week, end of September 2024..🙏😢❤🙏hoping to get approve... 🙏

The disappearance of Ryokans has a lot to do with the cost. YouTubers from Japan regularly promote these places; the issue is the cost per night which literally prices an inn off the market.

A shortage of fish may have a lot to do with overfishing and a lack of centralised catch management to protect all species. To save the fish, don't catch or eat undersize.

It's not affordable or accessible now for a lot of people to visit Japan. Only the US is benefitted. Travellers from other countries are taking longer to raise funds to keep in step with all the price rises (inside and outside Japan) some of them well over 100%.

[trewous]

They want tourists to travel more inside Japan to ease the top cities overtourism, but JR Pass nearly doubled the prices 😢

My wife and I went in April, July and December of last year and again this past July to take advantage of the low airfare and strong USD.
