Do NOT buy a JR Pass when visiting Japan
Back
Thank you for this video! 😊
Will you go back to eating more plant based foods or still include your meats also.
Since I’m still in Japan where it’s very hard to be vegan, I’ll continue eating meat for the time being.
❤
Thanks for the video - very helpful!
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
❤
I just rejoined WW.......love that oatmeal and potatoes are on the list, since I eat mostly plant based. I still will have to count rice. Alot of the meats I don't eat, so that isn't a big change for me. I like seeing the macros, this is all new for me. In tracking today, I see I eat a larger amount of carbs, and less in the protein area. According to what I believe I need in proteins at my age, I need to up my game with more beans, lentils and etc. I don't usually eat eggs, and dairy...........I know they up your proteins, just not sure, how I will handle all that yet. I need to lose about 45 pounds to goal. Good to hear you will be doing WW, love your videos
I thought about u when I heard about the changes
Awww you’re sweet. I’m so excited. It’s like WW has found their way home.
Yes got the changes this morning I am going to love the changes Thanks for the video
just rejoined and the app today is set up a bit different. for instance there isn't the three line bar in the upper left and below the water track option there isn't a place to enter weight. its confusing. will be updating your video?
My apologies, this video is now out of date. I will work on a new one now that the new app is out!
@@ShorrThing thank you for responding!
I posted an updated app tutorial this morning. I’d love for you to check it out!
@@ShorrThing i will and thank you!
Hi Manya! I’ve got the update… love the macros!nice to see you ❤️
I just woke up and I have them too! Let’s do this and see how it goes!
I had great success on the Purple Plan so I am very excited about the current changes. The only thing missing is zero point whole wheat pasta but I can live with that!
Oh right, I mentioned rice but forgot about the pasta! I can live with that too.
Hi. Thank you so much for making this video. This was extremely helpful.
Can't wait to see the updated version. I'll be resigning up!
I downloaded the WW app, but there is no free trial unless you commit to pay! I wish you could use the app for free like Myfitnesspal.
Hi!! I heard potatoes will be zero Point also? I’m signed up already .. not doing great at all. But I keep trying.. macros might help keep me focused
That would be amazing!
What about a 7 day pass that includes all trains without having to worry about any of that?
I stopped WW because it went phone app only, I'm doing Slimming World instead because it still has a desktop version and reminds me of the old WW purple plan 🙂
I will be leaving for Japan from the US tomorrow and we just decided we would like to spend this Saturday visiting Mt. Fuji. Any advice and how to get there? Should we take the train you just mentioned? If so, how and where to get the tickets?
Believe it or not I can not wait for your info, it will weigh heavily on my opinion.
I will definitely give it a try once I have it!
@ShorrThing Thank you ❤️
I would love that! Except I’d have to start tracking zero point foods
@@placebo11000 I think you have to make it work for you? We will see?
Yeah, I guess there’s no other way to get a accurate picture of macros without tracking everything. But I’ve read from people who have the beta version that the macros are easy enough to ignore if you don’t want to use them.
Please try it out and let us know what you think 😊
Ok I will! I hear they will roll it out to everyone by the new year so once I have the update I will give it a shot!
Sounds great ❤ Thankyou 😊
Do you feel better eating meats or when you used to eat more plant based?
I feel more full for longer eating meat (or maybe just higher protein...it's hard to tell) but that's about it.
I called WW and found out that they are going to add back to the zero point foods, potatoes, oatmeal, corn.......more like the purple plan, I am so happy. Purple plan seems to work for me....since I eat plant based.
Well that's VERY interesting! Did they say anything about when this would happen? I know they tend to release new plans with the new year. This one might get me back to WW!
I poked around a little bit more and it sounds like they’re going to also start showing macros and calories! This is very exciting.
Don’t know if things have changed but I have recently come back from Japan. I purchased the JR pass with green car. I had planned out my itinerary and knew I would be getting my money’s worth out of the pass. One of my trips I went from Tokyo to Hiroshima I had already seen that it would be a longer trip with a change if I had of went with the standard JR pass, now I don’t know if this is new or not but you can buy a nozomi/mizuho upgrade ticket for the JR pass which wasn’t all that expensive to buy and allows you to use the faster direct trains but you have to purchase the upgrade each time you want to use the faster trains. As the Tokyo to Hiroshima was the longest journey I made I only purchased it the one time and then used the Hikari trains on my way back to Tokyo as I was stopping off at Osaka and Kyoto for a couple of days on the return trip. As for the comfort of the green cars it was exactly the same on all trains I used so I don’t know what you mean it’s a different experience on the Nozomi compared to the other trains. Now I will admit I only used the Kodoma train twice but that was just on a short return trip from Tokyo to Atami so I can’t comment on what that is like long distance but would suggest when people are using the JR pass make sure they pick the Hikari trains only if they don’t want to pay for a Nozomi upgrade as the Kodoma trains are the ones that stop at ALL stations Hikari stop at less stations than Kodoma but more than Nozomi
The Nozomi upgrade option is a change since I published this video.
To travel between districts in Tokyo and going to Mt. Fujis is it worth a JR pass? How about the Yamanote line? It seems pretty convinient and it’s covered by the JR Pass.
I wouldn’t think it would be worth the price. The Yamanote line is a local Tokyo subway train so rides will be about 250 yen. But you should definitely use a JR pass calculator to verify.
Pro tip: If you buy your JR Pass from official JR website, you DO NOT need to reserve your tickets on the day of your journey. You can reserve online for all your trains for up to 30 days in advance and pick up all your reserved tickets at once when you pick up the pass. All I did was pick up my JR pass along with my reserved tickets on the day of arriving at the airport. I was given all my printed reserved seat tickets at once and I didn’t have to go to any kiosk at any point in time. About changing trains, you can easily avoid this by buying individual tickets from Nagoya to Osaka and Osaka to Hiroshima so that you can leave some time before switching to a different train.
How do I get to this page showing my points. When I open app it is search & track foods
I just want to buy a simple train ticket from Tokyo to Kyoto..... But it seems we need to take a course just to do this !! HELP
Just go to the station and find the JR office. The people there speak good enough English and you can buy a ticket for the next available train.
I prefer the green JRpass.
Thank you so much for this!!!🤗🥰♥️
Great reminder ! Thanks ❤️❤️stay well

I had a coach tell me to just do purple during personal points but didn’t ask how, just started by quick adding points to get to -30% of dailies..I recall my reduced fat Dr eyes ice cream went up a pt on the 1 after purple but I won’t sweat it..not giving up my free ww lifetime now..but thx..may do healthi at Black Friday sale
Thanks for being here!

This is absolutely inaccurate and misinformation at best. There are many types of JR passes and several still offer amazing value.
Love this!
Good point 👍🏼
❤
This is so true! Great advice!
Can someone help by telling me how to edit my steps plz? I accidentally entered steps 2 times to one day and I don't know how to fix it.
Good job! ❤
48 years old and definitely feeling the start of pari metapause🙁
Welcome to the party! What strategies are you using to make it better?
❤
Thanks for your video. When i did the price calculation for my trip tge JR Rail Pass was only nominally cheaper, so i have decided not to get one, for the reasons you shared. That said, what is the easiest way to buy tickets and make reservations? I would like to do this before I go to Japan. Thank you!
The Smart Ex app allows you to book ahead. That said, the Nozomi trains run very often and unless you’re going during a holiday, I find it much easier just to buy tickets at the station when I arrive. There are kiosks with English or an office with a person who generally speaks good English (and usually a line). Personally, I like the flexibility of not being tied to a specific train/time. You might consider that for your trip…it sure is nice and more relaxing.
@@ShorrThing thank you!
@Deanluvs2fly happy to help!
1. You don’t need to reserved seats or have separate with the JR pass. There are non-reserved cars. 2. If you pack light it’s no problem. 3. I almost always stay near a Shinkansen station. It’s much easier and there are lots of business hotels there. 4. The non-reserved cars are full of regular Japanese people.
While this is true, people should be aware that non-reserved trains do not guarantee seats or seats together. So if this is a concern (as it was for me with elderly parents who needed to sit and be near me), I wouldn’t use a non-reserved train.
Nozomi is not part of the JR Pass, unless you pay an extra fee. JR Pass can be used for Hikari. In many cases Nozomi can go to Kyushu directly from Tokyo, but Hikari may not, therefore you have to transfer in Osaka. Each train is different on where it goes through which city. Some of what you state is valid, but there are other points that you make may be from a misunderstanding on your part.
I do not think I said Nozomi is a part of the pass, as I know it is not. That, in fact, is one of my complaints-that the pass only covers the slow trains.
YOU ARE IN A WRONG HOTEL😀 OR CHEAP HOTELS maybe
