HOT STUFF!! 🔥 Our Favourite Ways to Keep Warm in Japan
It was the very last day of our trip to Japan exactly 4 YEARS ago today... so to celebrate, we have a new/old video for you.
We've taken a LOOOOOOOONG break between videos - and will probably be taking another before the next batch is ready to go... but there is still a ton of footage to edit together. Hopefully we'll be able to share that with you at some point still. For now, please enjoy!

For the Studio Ghibli lovers out there, there are many places around Japan that are considered “must-see” locations. At the top of everyone’s list always seems to be the Ghibli Museum.

    I love this place! The reservation is highly competitive! I had to book in advance (they have their reservation period and it is probably fully booked pretty fast). I was lucky enough to be able to book it for 2 nights on the first floor. The bed was very spacious with a quite spacious private space on the side (for those who stay on the bottom beds). Most of the floor is wooden so there’s a sign saying that please walk quietly during the night and the heating for water is limited to some certain period of the day! Though the location is not very central to the tourist areas, but the experience is worth it! Thank you for filming the video! It brought me back good old memories!

    Ghibli website via Lawson, now has ticket sales open to foreign residents. But they go very fast because they only allot 6 slots per entry time. The tickets for this March were literally all gone 18 minutes after they went on sale. Now for the Japanese side of Lawson's, with the exception of the first 2 weekends in March, everything was wide open. Our hotel is/was useless in assisting us, so I gave it a chance that by using a VPN that I would been able to fake being in Japan. I set up the Lawson account using my email and phone number, but used my hotel as the address. I used on-line websites to convert my name into kanji and katakana. Sign up was a bit of multi-tasking, but it worked. By doing it this way, I was able to secure tickets on the date and time we wanted with no issues. Also JTB and the tour companies in Japan like Viator and Klook are not selling any Ghibli museum tickets at all. That is supposed to change by the end of the year.

    So, my take is, go to restaurant where the vending machine has some English in it so that it's a indicator that you'll be fine if you are still beginning to learn japanese. And if the menu on rhe machine is purely japanese, then it's time to either risk it or walk to another place.

  • @makotonarukami7468
    @makotonarukami7468 Рік тому

    Seeing this is very helpful. I'm going solo to Japan for 14 days ij 2023 and was wondering if they had plenty of English vending machine restaurants where I order and enter the restaurant table, and wait for the food. Of course still going to learn basic restaurant speech/public everyday basis, and manners. Going to have my Google translate, and map on hand. But the thing is, I heard that if I wanna get a Sim card to work while there I need to have an unlocked smart phone OR there is always the option of a portable Hotspot, because I'm guessing the capsule hotel I'll be at will have the wifi as I turn on the mobile Hotspot during the day in a very limited kind of way.
