And bam! 37k ❤❤

Thanks JB, hope you have a great time in Japan!

Cheers! Glad you liked it

Cheers!

Spring will be the best for the majority of travelers, its certainly the most iconic time to visit. Personally my favorite is Autumn, its less busy than Spring but still incredibly beautiful and not too hot like Summer. But its all about what you want to do on your trip

No worries, good luck on the project

Its worth noting that its only temporarily possible to buy the JR Pass in Japan, great you could take advantage of it, but I think there is only one month left people can do this. I talk about it in my 16 Tips for Travels to Japan Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouB5qMeg0J2VY58.html

Hi, it'll be my very first time visiting Japan in October of this year, I'm just now learning of JR pass. How much is a JR pass, and how long is it good for? Am I able to use the JR pass for taxis, trains, basically all forms of transportation? How does it work? Thank you for taking the time out to reply.

Awesome to hear, hope you have a great trip!

Have an amazing time!

The JR Pass is increasing in October so a September trip is a really good idea if you want to save money haha

Just had a look myself and it seems that is the case, kind of crazy how booked it is with the Spring Travel Boom, last time I went on a weekday and could book it a day in advance. Still there are other trains to get to Yoshino at least

Glad to hear it!

Thanks!

I plan to write up some downloadable guides in the future but its just in video atm

Its not impossible to add it as a day trip from Osaka, it takes about one and a half hours to reach via Shinkansen so you could go down in the morning and come back at night. I should know, because I just did that to go take photos of Miyajima

Hope you have a great trip! Remember to book early for spring and that prices to the JR pass are coming this year so it might not be the best value at that time

Cheers Milen! Are you planning a trip to Japan?

Cheers Ayase!

Cheers Kaptin, how was your trip?

@@InakaAdventure it was great. I travelled solo and it was the first time for me. A bit daunting on the first day, but smooth sailing the following two weeks.

Awesome! Always good to challenge yourself with something new, happy to hear it went well

Awesome, Septembers a great time to visit, end of Summer and still warm out

​​@@InakaAdventureWon't get to see the cherry blossoms in end October, right? Or can I?

Cheers! Thanks for the channel support and great Sake I got to try!

Hope you have a great time in Japan!

Awesome glad to hear you liked it, what future video topics would you be interested in seeing?

I always recommend people just go at their own pace, these videos are designed with maximum options so you can pick and choose because you can learn whats available

Cheers glad you liked it Travis!

You're welcome

When one way its more of a toss up to get the JR pass or not, unfortunately with the price changes more people will probably do point to point trips instead of round ones.

Glad to here it! What type of videos would you like to see in the future?

@@InakaAdventure The back street restaurant's in Tokyo, back to back bars etc

Closest I have is 2 weeks haha kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9hjipeayrTUh2Q.html

@@InakaAdventure that would be cool to see, I’m going for a month using the 21 day JR pass to see as much as I can outside of Tokyo and would love to see what you think are some of the best things to see

Honestly I was really underwhelmed by Disney / DisneySea. Im not really a fan of the theme so my opinion is solely based on the rides which just werent as good for me as USJ or FujiQ

Awesome! Hope you have a great trip!

Its fine to dream, you might visit in the future

Only ridiculous questions Ive had was one guy on reddit. Ill be able to reply to most comments for a long time anyway haha

Awesome! Are you planning a trip to Japan soon?

Might have to check that out, seems like an older movie so might be interesting to see how the country has changed

Yeah you can book tours and activities here www.klook.com/en-US/tetris/promo/cherryblossom/ (code INAKA15 for 15% on Spring Tours) they have a promo on sale until March 10th, if you're travelling to Japan later in the year you can also use INAKA5 for 5% off first purchases

Thats a good idea, I might do it in the future. The best Manga shops are really all found in Akihabara just walking around looking at everything you can find

Yeah 77% increase is very sad, ill do an update on train costs video soon

I think that makes the most sense if you are doing side trips to Nara which is about an hour away from Kyoto or Osaka depending on where youre staying

Not so different from any other country, if you see a sign that says no photos then put your camera away, don't take photos of schools / students. There are some special rules for drone photography that was implemented this year though

Check out my JR Pass updated video for all the info kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ6Hg8Zz0Nm6cYU.html

Drinking a lot of pocori sweat, its going to really hot

You can ship luggage to any address, but someone needs to be their to accept the delivery. So I don't recommend it to an airbnb because youll have to arrive before your luggage, and wait to accept it.

I might take the 8th day by flying up to sapporo, especially if its winter for the snow festival

You can change hotel when you change city, but it depends on whats available. its perfectly fine to stay at the same Hotel between Osaka and Kyoto days

Check out this video on tips for traveling in Japan: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouB5qMeg0J2VY58.html for hotels i use booking dot com, its cheaper when you search inside Japan or use a VPN

Might have to look into Tsukuba, there isnt too much information on it and its a fairly small city. One of the tech companies it attracted is called "Cyberdyne" though 👀

@@InakaAdventure :)

Trains are really simple you dont need to worry too much. If you have the rail pass or use the unreserved seats even if you miss a train you can still use the ticket on the next one. Although prices are coming to the JR pass which might make it not worth it, I have some tips for first timers in Japan here too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouB5qMeg0J2VY58.html

​@@InakaAdventure thaankksss

Awesome hope you have a great trip! What part of Japan do you want to see the most ?

@InakaAdventure really want to go to Ginzan Onsen, but the big three for sure Tokyo ,Osaka, and Kyoto

I was going to go to Ginzan this year, but something came up and then the snow stopped so I couldnt get that photo I wanted to take, always next year for me i guess

@InakaAdventure would live to see a series of the best ones to visit

Onsen is in the works, but I just have to get out there. Gero Onsen was my favorite so far though

May I ask what route you guys are taking to make a pit stop at mt Fuji? I’m wanting to do something similar but the train routes are significantly longer if not taking the Shinkansen direct from Kyoto to Tokyo :(

To get to fuji is probably easier to take the highway bus at a little each cost, its 2,400 yen and about 2 hours each way. Returning to Tokyo then Shinkansen down works or you can go down to Shin-Fuji station and rejoin the Shinkansen there

If you're smart with your money, about $4K should be enough. We're going Apr 28 - May 11 and we're estimating to spend around $2K each. With a daily budget of $60 each for food, that's $840 for food for $14 days. Adding the Shinkansens ($500) takes us to $1340. That still leaves over $600 for spending, other metro/transport fees, and activities. If we go over by a few hundred dollars, that's okay, but we don't anticipate it will be much more than $2K each. By the way, I'm talking in Canadian dollars, so if you're speaking in USD, plus you're traveling for less days, than you're definitely ok... Unless you like to splurge!

Can you update us how much you ended up spending? We're going in 2 weeks and I'm so excited. We spent $2300 for 8 days, room for two. And about $500 each for flights. I can't imagine spending more than $1500 each during this time. Unless I buy some electronics and stuff :)

Nope, its a waste if you're just in Tokyo.

Well it does boost my comments a bit ;) Although that festival does take place in Spring so it fits

JR pass can be used on all JR lines, not subways. So you can use it for the Yamanote line in Tokyo but not the metro, you can absolutely take the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto, I have more information on using the trains in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6uegdSKm9mdc58.html

@@InakaAdventure very informative series, thank you!

How many things do you want to do in Kyoto? You could probably Kiyomizu Dera, Gion Area, Philosophers Walk, Heian Shrine, Arashiyama all in a day that would be a good sample of the city

@@InakaAdventure thankyou will do that

What do you mean by summit park, do you mean the thumbnail?

@@InakaAdventure Thank you so much for responding, really appreciate it!! @1:57 the subtitles said grab lunch from one of the many restaurants or a lunchbox to an enjoy the Hanami experience at Summit Park with view

Sumida park, its by Sensoji

@@InakaAdventure thank you so much 😊

Hes doing his best

Its a bit chilly that late in the year, other than that sure

Thanks you 🙏 How about the crowd at this time ?

Not too bad, much better than Spring and Autumn

Hey, I havnt been to the theme park but i have been to Awaji, it takes about 2 hours to get their from Osaka so you could do it as a day trip. Typically people go down to Maiko on the JR then get a highway bus from the bridge over

@@InakaAdventure Thanks so much 🙏🏼

Not currently as I understand it, there was a temporary promotion that allowed people to do so but its ended now. Try to buy before going to Japan

Glad you liked it Akira, what sort of videos about Japan would you interested in seeing in the future?

@@InakaAdventure Thank you for your videos..More tourist spots for a single traveler especially women, and also to those anime lovers. Also videos that focuses on one place for example osaka only, the prices of the foods and accommodations. Events and yearly celebrations, etc.🙂🙂🙂

Not exactly sure what you are requesting, some guides for Tokyo?

Jeez you werent kidding I had a look. Japan is really cheap to travel atm with the Weak Yen too, Flights are the only real issue.

@@InakaAdventure hahaha... looks up flights in canada...
