Thanks for all the awesome vids; just got back from our first trip to Japan and your videos really helped! Especially the packing ones! Took us a few days to figure out the google maps instructions and subways! Learned to not just look at the signs above but also to check the pillars/columns for platform numbers and exit numbers. And also the number of the car on the floor in front of the gates for the subways. We got our 10yr Suicas from the JR East offices on the North side of Tokyo Station. There are two offices so check which one has the shorter line. We went into the smaller office first and it was packed, but one of the workers directed us to the other larger office and there was no one in line at all. (Also google says they open at 10am but I believe they actually open at 7am). If you have any kids between ages 6-11/12 they won't let you buy a normal Suica and you have to go to the underground JR East office to purchase a kids Suica (kids get charged a lower fee). The kids's office is right beneath the two JR East offices and the stairs underground are outside the North exit. And make sure to bring your passports, they asked us for ours for both the adult and kids Suica! Hope it helps for fellow travelers! And thank you again for the awesome channel and vids!!! 😊

Very helpful video! I have been to Japan and ridden their metro system before. It takes a little time to learn but it makes so much sense once you are there. Your video perfectly captured the key points of navigating the system and anyone that watches this will be set for success when they arrive. Thank you for always putting out such helpful content! 😄

Also don't be afraid of shinkansen. You can buy unlimited pass online before you get there. Depending on how far you play to go makes sense and saves you A LOT of time.

Nice video regarding Tokyo's rail system. I was only there a week so purchased the Pasmo Card - sooo cute! Do you have problems with Google Maps? I rented a pocket WiFi and Google Maps was kinda wonky. A couple of times, I had to rely on buildings near my hotel to figure out how to get back.
@buildyourmoxie 2 ай бұрын
This last trip i didn't have any issues with google maps above or below ground but my first trip i had some issues above ground. So normally I do a mix of apple maps and google maps once i'm above ground! But for the subway, google maps has been helpful!

Hey Erica! I had a question for you about "Visa Travel Rewards Cards" and which one you think is best for building miles. I was told by a few friends that the Chase Sapphire Card is the best or one of them. Do you have any reccomendations for the best cards? I think that would make an interesting video since I know you do finance videos and this would tie into traveling.

Im pretty sure you can use Visa now. I tried it with my debit as a test and it worked.

@@buildyourmoxie thank you. also, I hope you don’t mind answering my questions, do you remember how much you’ve spent on metro alone during your travel in japan? do they have a metro ticket that’s unlimited for like a day or a week/s?
@buildyourmoxie 27 күн бұрын
They do! Take a look on Klook (download the app) cuz it’s the easiest and in English and in ur currency And then search subway ticket. It will give you some options! Hmmmm I would say each time I go on the train it’s maybe 200-400 yen? It’s not a lot. But I use the Suica card as well for the convenience stores too haha. So it’s hard to keep track how much I spent on just metro.
