Taking your recommendation Nathan, it’s my first trip to Japan next week staying in the ueno area 👌 only nervous about the train system 😂

@towada1066 8 ай бұрын

I think you will be perfectly fine ... JR East has really modified the rail system to be foreigner-friendly ... on some lines there will be announcements in four languages: Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and English. Beijing metro is much more orderly than Tokyo but Tokyo Station was restored and you can really see the beauty of Meiji Era Japan ! (^_^)

Sounds great! I do recommend also fitting in a night or two away from the big cities too! You won’t regret it (especially if you can do ryokan or similar accomodation)

Another ' best kept secret' of Japan is Shikoku and the multiple small islands off Takamatsu i the Seto Inland Sea. We were there, by sheer accident of timing, during the Triennial Art Festival and it was still very quiet, with almost no foreign tourists.

I love that area and i actually have a series on it from a few years back! maybe time to return huh!

A very nice tour video. Aizuwakamatsu is a postal town that I'd like to visit. It appears that there is a lot to do there. So I will put it on my ever expanding list of places in Japan that I'll have to go. Off to check out the partial solar eclipse. How many bottles of sake did you take to help you remember (maybe) your trip to this scenic town?

Loving your videos as I’m dreaming about a second trip to Japan. How common is it to find English speakers, menus, signage, etc., in this city? I know only the polite basics of Japanese.

@NinjaMonkeyguy 7 ай бұрын

Like anywhere out side of the major cities english might be less available but it’s still easy to navigate with broken English and google translate .. don’t let the language barrier deter you

ww! ... Meiji is my most cherished era so I can't stand Bakufu and samurai (the only exceptions are Yamamoto Yae and Nakano Takeko) ... also, in this region are Okiagari-koboshi if you like toys ... actually, I think it is really easy to escape tourists, just go to any museum featuring Western art (^_^) ...
