now you can use credit card as pasmo/suica to travel

We dont need these negative reviews about Japan 😂 go somewhere you like and say something nice, otherwise just 🤫

It is actually not the hot on heat index, however with added moisture (humidity) the transfer of heat (energy) is much higher making it feel 25% hotter than it actually is. Water is the best conductor of energy, especially on your skin. High humidity either transfer heat onto your skin by constant contact or with the help of a breeze, it will remove that heat giving you some relief. Drink plenty of water or watermelon juice my favorite.

I am here in Japan at the moment and it is certainly hot. I usually come in June and I quite like the rain but had to come in July this year. Keep well and good luck with the study

Thank you for this useful video Jake, little tip, freeze a few bottles of water, wrap each one in a small towel and hug to cool down, also lovely to leave a few on the bed sheets. No need here in the UK, we are in perpetual November weather. 😅

Precioso❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How many degrees Celsius is it usually during the rainy season in Japan? When the weather is rainy and do about 10° to 28°C it's just perfect! I love to enjoy any tea, coffee and soup, in the case of a japanese recipe, noodles or Kare

Nice video, very enjoyable! You speak english very well, I'm Brazilian (my mother language is Portuguese) English is my second language, so I love to hear different accents! And Japanese accent is so cool, in my opinion. I wish you the best, keep doing these wonderful videos about your beautiful country ❤😮

You know the dangers of driving in Japan for foreigners ($1,000 fines). So, some idea about trains to either of these places would be helpful.

Hi Jack, thank you for the helpful tips. I’ve a question hoping you can help. I’m planning a trip to Osaka from Tokyo by riding the Shinkansen on a Sunday morning. My hotel is close to the Asakusabashi Station, so Google suggests taking the Asakusa Line from Asakusabashi Station to Shinagawa Station, then transferring to the Shinkansen. Since I am traveling with a large suitcase, I’ll need to reserve a Shinkansen seat with oversize luggage space online (retrieve paper ticket once I land in Tokyo). I see that on the JR website when I search for a route from Shinagawa to Shin-Osaka, it shows me two fares (Basic & Ltd Express) combined into one. My question is, according to information you’ve shared on this video, is it best to use an IC card to get on the local train at Asakusabashi Station & get off/exit gate at Shinagawa Station with the IC card (to pay for the local train ride) and then walk to the Shinkansen ticket gate and re-enter with paper ticket? My worry is if I don’t exit/end my local train ride at Shinagawa Station and internal transfer to the Shinkansen, when I arrive at Shin-Osaka I’ll have to settle the ticket fare in some way which I’m trying to avoid due to language barrier. Thank you.

World revolves around you guys because you're parents. Parents know best. Inconvenience other cultures and societal norms. What next? You're going to pull out the race card... Xenophobia? Japan owes you something?

Very helpful video.

Love your commentary and voice

Well, we will knows what to do during raining days. Don't have to walk under rain carry umbrella and soak to wet!!!

Glad at least its cool if it rains but going to theme parks is going to be a little troublesome right?

I've travelled across Japan last year and explore which rails/buses take credit cards. I went to Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Tokyo. So far, I found out that Nankai lines in Osaka, Fukuoka Metro, and Kagoshima trains take credit card outside of Tokyo. IC Cards do read a lot quicker compared to credit cards, but it's definitely a good option for foreigners. I do end up using IC cards, while test out using credit cards when boarding a train. It's a fun experiment :)

Another suggestion that sort of depends on luck is trying for stand by reservations to theme cafes. Most will have openings available at the store or online if people cancel last minute! You may have to try early on, and probably best if it's a weekday to avoid more crowds, but if you get in it can be a good time. We also went to the Aquarium in Osaka during the rainy day, which was a fun way to avoid the weather! The ferris wheel was pretty with the rain (it was not too cloudy).

Sapporo underground pole town.

I'm going to Japan next week for the rainy season! I teach, so this is the perfect time for me to go! This video was very reassuring. :) I'll just grab an umbrella, enjoy the gorgeous temples, and if the rain is too much, go shopping!

Very cute! I like the grinder tool best too. Subscribed !

Can the people in the planes flying overhead see the people on the rooftop onsens? 🙈

This building is so interesting to see as an American because it's exact same style as public bulidings built in 1960s USA.. Always cool to see how architectural language travels

Hello Jake, thank you for your helpful tips. Could you advice: My route is Yonezawa to Tokyo by Shinkansen (basic fare included) . Arrive at Platform 21. Then transfer from Tokyo to Platform 9 for Ito by Odoriko Ltd Express (basic fare is included). 1) After reaching Tokyo station, is there a transfer gate to go straight to Platform 9 without having to go out and in again? If yes, do I insert both the Shinkansen ticket and the Odoriko ticket into the machine? Then only the Odoriko ticket will pop up for me to take it for my journey to Ito? 2) There is a transfer time of only 12 mins at Tokyo station to catch the Odoriko. Do you have any idea whether Shinkansen Platform 21 is far from Platform 9 for the Odoriko? If 12 mins is tight, then I will choose the later Odoriko which is 1 hr later (we can just walk around inside the station). Better to wait rather than rush and miss the train. Thanks in advance.

Same where I am! Unpredictable & the only consistent thing is...hot air

One of my favorite things was finding a 100 yen gachapon machine in a "Hands" store and buying a bunch to open later. We got such an assortment of anime, cute pouches, and miniature items. I love how the designers of these think of all the small things like the battery sticker!

I would say that if you like gardens, flowers and easy scenic walks then yes !! The formal gardens are beautiful in the rain, the hydrangeas are in full and the walks will have far less people. Temples and shrines too!

i loved getting gachas so much in japan!

I am going to japan around 6 day from 16 june to 21 june 2024, i hope rainy days do not disturb my itinerary aameen, is it good choice to keep going in many temples during the rainy season?

I want to know what kind of shoes should I wear during the raining season? Since we are doing a lots of walking. I don't think raining boots is a good option. Thank you

Hello, my family and I are planning a trip to Japan (Osaka, Kyoto) for early July. Can you perhaps let me know if it usually rains a lot during that time? Thank you!

한국은 일본 제도만 잘 활용해서 나아만가도 반은 먹고간다.

I personally couldn't handle the couple rainy days we had in the fall when we traveled - it was difficult to navigate especially with a small child who I would have to carry while holding the umbrella so they didn't get their feet soaked (since we didn't pack any rainboots). We ended up canceling our outdoor plans those couple of days and stuck to catching up on laundry in our hotel, shopping, or going to the aquarium instead. But I appreciate knowing when the rainy season is from this video so I can try to avoid it! How long does the rainy season usually last?

I've been going to Japan in June /July and it's the best time as there are not a lot of tourists around. And even if it's raining there I still have a great time visiting different cities and towns. All you need a umbrella from 7-11 or Don Quixote and your set. Even if there was a typhoon I'll still enjoy myself because it's Japan. 😊 Your doing great .

I like Japan in the wet. As long as its not cold.

this is the least technical thing japan ever built

hello how the weather's at early june ? i will come to japan at 1 june

Such a shame the museum is closed but the views are fantastic and well worth the drive. Thank you Jake.

I think that Hokkaido is a bit run down compared to Honshu in my opinion. It might be due to the harsher conditions in winter or it's just a bit poorer up there.

Shibuya "Sky" suddenly emerged and vaulted to near the top of the list of places to see and visit in Tokyo. Like the High Line in NYC. An unexpected excessive success?

This place (Shibuya "Sky") is just too popular (and desirable) to avoid problems in organization and crowd control. Maybe building 3 or 4 of them might cool things down.

Thank you

Hello Sir, I will travel Tokyo 13-20 April, is it heavy rainy?

Hi Jake , when was the old station built?

Hi Jake, I would be most grateful if you can confirm if one is still able to redeem the JR exchange voucher at Shinagawa Station. I’m having difficulty finding this information. I note you advise three locations for redemption. Is this still available & are the opening times as explained in you informative video. Thank you.

We are from Wisconsin USA which is known for beer (home of Miller Brewing), so I will definitely need to make note of where you went!

I have heard to avoid Golden Week from many travel videos, so I wonder if it's not as busy because people are trying to plan around it! Thank you for making the video, it's interesting to see how crowded places get during different travel periods.
