    I'm going to Japan in November and I invested in 2 NB sneakers (the 2002NR's and the 530) to break them in before my trip and they are the most comfy and cushiony shoes to wear in Japan.

    Interesting tips. I've traveled mainland twice (4 times Okinawa, then went flew to Tokyo 2 of those times). My flights usually took me to Haneda, so the closest station was Shinegawa and I went from there. I avoided staying in the big cities, I don't mind the commutes and I don't plan staying until 12am and risk missing my train. In Osaka/Kyoto region, I found Himeji was cheapest. In Tokyo area, I stayed in Yokohama. And yeah, tourist hot spots you need to go super early if possible, to avoid the tour buses. If you like monkey parks, check out Nagano and the one in Beppu on future trips.

      I mean you could just bring a ziplock bag or your own zip wallet from home but I think it’s a cute option instead of those Amazon organizers 😭

    How did u find using the different train lines? Was a JR pass used for your Japan trip?

    • @washedmid

      Also did you buy a e-sim or pocket wifi?

    • @kchovlogs
      @kchovlogs  24 дні тому +1

      All great questions!
      1. Train lines are quite easy to follow in my opinion using Google maps! The station numbers and colours you see inside the actual stations match up with what you see on Google maps, so it’s very intuitive.
      2. I didn’t buy a JR pass because it wasn’t worth it 😭 search up “JR Pass calculator” on Google to see if the trips you plan to take will make the pass worth it for you.
      3. E-sim! I used Ubigi as I found it slightly cheaper than some of the other options available out there. Airalo is another popular option but it’s about the same in connectivity quality for a more expensive price
