Getting a Tourist Discount Haruka Express JR Ticket / Japan First Impressions

Here's my experience flying into Japan using the QR code system on the visit Japan web to show vaccination status and getting the Tourist Discounted JR ICOCA pass and Haruka JR Limited Express Tickets into Kyoto. I also share my first impressions about Japan as an American that's been living in Korea and Bangkok Thailand for the past decade. Lots of things surprised me about Japan
