I’ve visited the Land of the Rising Sun 17 times. Yes, 17. And ako pa lang ‘yan ha, hindi pa counted d’yan ang mga trips ni Vins and iba pa naming teammates, making Japan our most visited country ever. Pero we still remember ‘yung first time namin dito. Part of it eh kasi ang dami naming mga mistakes na nagawa. In this video, ise-share namin sa inyo ang mga mistakes na sana ay naiwasan namin noong bagu-bago pa lang kaming nagta-travel sa Japan.

I've been to Japan 30+ times and lost count by now. It's still my favorite travel destination and always learning something new.
Another mode of transportation sa mga long distances is actually plane. You might think na mahal but Japan also has budget airlines like PeachAir and VanillaAir. Depende kung kelan ang biyahe mo, it can be half of the price of shinkansen. I remember flying from Narita to Osaka for less than 5000 YEN. That's almost 1/3 the price of Shinkansen and half of travelling by bus. Less than 2hrs lang ang byahe minus the getting to and from the airport.
how to book via Peach? aalways saying no seats available. NRT to KIX
Japan rin ang aking most visited country.
Another reason para laging dalhin ang passport ay baka ma-random check ng police. Naniniguro lang sila na turista ka at hindi ka nago-over stay.
Manifesting. Thank you The Poor Traveler! Kayo talaga inspiration namin para magtravel!
i was in Phnom Penh-Cambodia in February when cherry blossom season happened there. It was quite beautiful and frankly i didn't plan it. i am sure its much more beautiful in Japan, but i had my share of cherry blossom. i was really happy. lets hope i can do Japan in the future.
I've been to Tokyo and Osaka 26 times and good thing researches helped me a lot even in my first trip. Been around Tokyo to Yokohama, Nikko, Kawaguchiko, Kamakura, SHizuoka, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, etc. Never used Shinkansen or JR Pass because expensive. Didn't use Passes, just buy train tickets as to destination I like because I wouldn't maximized their uses.
How?
been an avid reader of poor traveler's blogs waaayback in 2015. I did my DIY travel to Batanes because of you pioneer BLOGGERS. Kudos to you for helping us!
Omg Ang cool nung Travel Insurance sa Grab! Just tried it! Thank you!
Perfect for those na gusto makakuha ng insurance agad-agad!
Super helpful! First time namin mag Japan this year and we're super excited!
Super duper lol 😆
Hello there. I hope that you can make a video for Senior travellers din.
Just subscribed.
Love your vlogs and thanks for sharing.🥰
Didn’t know grab has travel insurance! Thanks for sharing 😊
LOVE JAPAN, such a nice exploring video, really great content, just subscribed, thank you
Teka, blogger ka diba? Vlogger ka din pala! In fairness, helpful blogs mo, dun ako minsan kumukuha ng tips, very detailed! Thanks! Ang dami daming recommendations pero sa mga katulad ko na never been to Japan, all of the info, vlogs etc are overwhelming and hard to put my finger on. Specially when it comes to the transpo, it's so confusing. I don't know, maybe it's just me. 🤷♀🤷♀
The poor traveler has been to Japan multiple times. It'd be nice if we could all be poor travelers then. That way we could all afford it. XD
Laking tulong ng video na ito. Thank you!
What comes out to your mouth surely will happen to you. Very negative always lumalabas sa mga words make it positive . Spread positivity❤
Very simple & informative salamat.
What a comprehensive guide!
Plano ko pong bumisita sa Japan, maraming salamat po for this. :)
I am following your vlog kasi balak ko mag start maging solo traveler. HAHAHAHA. I don't know where to start. HAHAHAHA
EXCELLENT video! - from ur new subscriber. Going to Japan by January. Arriving at Narita airport, will only go around Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka. Never been to Japan before. Reviewing the different transport passes yet kind of confusing. What pass can you recommend me…. thanks much!💕
Great video. Thank you very much for the information. I want to experience Onsen in Mt. Fuji area. Would you be able to give us some info on this?
Isa sa mga nakakatipid pag nasa Japan ay matulog sa mga internet/manga Cafe marami nun lalo na sa mga lugar tulad nang Tokyo. Pero gusto ko talaga maranasan kahit minsan ay mag book sa isang Ryokan
i used to work at hotel and almost filipino (and foreigners) don't understand the fee and the size of the bed in the hotel😅
Fee′s is per head not per rooms, and single room is one bedroom for 1 person.
double room is one semi double size bedroom for 1 to 2 person,
twin room is 2bedroom for 2 to maybe 3person.
Most kids below 12years old are free.
salamat sa mga tips! enjoy kayo
I had lived in various places in Japan,
so I felt very nostalgic when I saw them.
thank you. I'll come see you again.
ありがとうございます。
I did 🔔.
I will continue to follow and support you.
Expensive yung insurance sa Grab. Affordable is Standard Insurance.
Saan kukuha nyan po
See you on december 17 tokyo
good video but I have a big issue with the passport - tax point.
you should inform the viewer that as a tourist you have to have your passport on you at all times. it is literally the requirement of the government when they let you in.
and the tax free shopping is not only for when you spend more than 5000 yen, the requirement is for you to take the item home. so its ment for gifts and consumable that are being taken home, therefore the VAT can be waived. you can not go and buy, for example food or whiskey for a week and then consume that.
if we want to travel to Japan.. Kyoto Osaka area, what is the recommended budget when your travel tips are to be followed? per person budget excluding airfare
Actually, we are going to Tokyo Japan this coming September. I just want to ask about your travel insurance. If something happened do you have to contact the insurance company right away? Every time I travel I never get insurance. But now because of covid still hanging around I have to get insurance. The last time I traveled was January 2020. Always stay safe and stay healthy. Godbless.
Sir.. suggest naman po itinerary - 12 hour stop over in Tokyo. I can enter Japan visa free and transiting through Haneda airport which I gather is IN Tokyo Metropolitan area itself. Famed sites and spots and FOODie trip lang po sadya ko. My stopover will be 6am to 6pm.
Salamat po.
Hello po good evening,
I am planning to go to Japan this Autumn, baka po may poor travelers guy guide para po sa Autumn, or guide po papuntang sa Haneda, thank you 🙏
Can u please recommend a place to stay for 8 people budget friendly we prepared a house so we can cook . Any suggestions kababayan? Thank you
TPT help! we’ll be going to JPN this Aug for 5 days only. Narita T2 arrival namin. itinerary is only TOKYO DISNEYLAND (Day2), Shibuya Sky (Day 3) and Mt Fuji (Day 4). for Disneyland we will stay in a hotel within the area pero sa day 3 sa Narita n kmi mg stay until pg uwi. what pass should we get?
Sana po makagawa kayo ng blog about sa mga Japan Pass po.
Nice video!! 💙
Would like to visit Japan with my family pero parang hindi ko kaya mag DIY. 😂 Parang nakaka overwhelm yung transpo services nila.😅
Not sure if this is true for everyone pero di na ako hiningan ng receipts sa airport for my tax free purchases. I think kapag mga luxury items lang ganon, not sure tho. Pinascan lang yung passport ko and that was it.
There is a special counter after Customs, (it's a single table where no one is noticing).
You have to go there and present all the receipts to get a rebate. They'll send a check later.
@@inisipisTVI didn’t know this. I just got back from Japan!
@@jaymore5167 z
Same here sa Tokyo trip ko. 🙂
Passport mo lang nila macheck
Going to USJ and eating Kobe beef: budget out the window!
Tanung lang po pag Tokyo to Hokkaido anu pass gagamitin
Hello po, may tips po ba kayo sa pag book ng accommodation? May nakita po kasi ako last Aug na mas mura daw mag book pag nasa Japan ka na kaisa nasa ibang bansa ka pa.
Hi guys! Anong pass kaya mas okey if mag explore lng around osaka and kyoto. Thank you and more power.
Nagamit po namin Kansai Thru Pass
Hello po sir! Newest subscriber here! What hotel po ma recommend nyo na malapit sa supermarket sa osaka?
How about bringing maintenance medicines for high blood? First time to travel bound for Japan next month. Thanks.
May I ask if pano gumamit ng mga passes like Kansai West Pass or Kyoto Osaka Pass from Klook?
Hi po! I would really appreciate if you can give me an advice regarding train passes and how I can save money. Me and my family will be in Japan for 10 days, 5 days in Tokyo, 2 days in Kyoto, 2 days in Osaka and 1 day in Nara and planning to return to Phil via Kansai. I was thinking to just buy one way Shinkansen train from Tokyo to Osaka and just regional pass in Osaka (but which one is the best). Also, if I'm only buying one way Shinkansen train from Tokyo you can only buy it when you're in Japan or can you buy in advance. Thanks very much and hoping for your reply.
Buying individual tickets rather than a 7-days JR pass will probably just break even since you are not backtracking to Tokyo. (Kyoto>Nara>Osaka could be on local trains.)
@@nateshf9303 Thanks so much. Can I buy just the one way Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka in the JR website or you buy it only in the train station in Japan?. Many Thanks
@@jem1848 Also if you are traveling solo, rest assured that there will be a seat in the non-reserved cars. A lot of Japanese ride the bullet train to go to work and they just grab a non-reserved seat.
@@nateshf9303 Thanks again and all the best!
Hi Again! last question pls. I am travelling with with my Mom and which is better Kansai pass or Kansan thru pass in terms of easier mobility for older people to go to the top attraction NOTE: I WANT TO USE THE TRAIN TO KIX AIRPORT. Thanks a bunch!
@@nateshf9303
Yung "maligalig na kaibigan" sino ba walang kaibigan na ganun, for sure minsan sa buhay natin nka pag travel na tayo ng may kasamang maligalig na kaibigan, sila yung gustomong iwan na lang sya sa train station kasama ng mga gamit mo sa locker 😂😂
Sila yung mga gusto mong iwan sa Pilipinas. Char 😅
I love travelling. I really love it that I am only travelling with like-minded people.
Paano po ung grab travel cover insurance?
How's the weather in Japan during September?
Howcdo we communicate to the people????
What are the limitations po in terms of baggage sa overnight bus? Thank you!
first time traveller in japan,im so confused if may suica card na po hindi na dapat bumili ng JR pass db? yung suica nlang gagamitin for train station tama po ba?
Saan mas mura ang food sa 7/11 ba kc first time to travel ng mga apo ko at budgeted ang dala nila pls help
Sir kng sa nagoya po ang exit at entry po at gustong puntahan ang osaka ano po ang pass na gamitin po.
Nakita mo sa signal light diba kulay blue na sa signal light
hi sir gud day! nka sched po ako sa narita this end of sept. nakapag search na ako ng mga tourist spot sa narita na free. Balak ko po sana pumunta sa Shibuya or Tokyo, pede po ba bus or train na lang, balikan din po sa Hotel ko sa narita? Salamat
Which is better po withdraw using gcash visa card or using money changer in Japan?
After traveling many countries I finally realised those acts that I am doing are just propaganda to the country I’d visited so true that my own country will be far way to go promoting 😊
sir sa japan, ano mas masarap gamitin. go pro or insta 360
Kuya try Tohoku region next time. Guide kita😅
Thank you for sharing.
Can you recommend me best place to visit for a first timer in japan please.
Osaka, Kyoto, Nara po. Osaka for the food trip at more on nature and culture po sa Kyoto and Nara. :)
@@flourishwithzel Salamat po
Agree po. Kansai region for first timers, and maganda kung around november para autumn colours
The questions I always ask are how many days do you have? When are you going? What do you want to see and do? Let's say you definitely want to check out a hot spring town, then look into Kusatsu Onsen as a start. Have fun planning.
@@flourishwithzel, how about Mt Fuji?
❤
At least how much do we have to save to have a descent 2 weeks vacation in Japan?
Sir, how about hotel? How much po?
Link on the Japan passes pleeease
hi @thepoortraveler or anyone here in the comment section, Do I need to transfer my multiple entry Japan visa to my new PH passport? It is currently, pasted on my old passport. We missed checking this part and our flight will be on Friday!
Just bring both your passports: the new one and the old one with the visa. They will still honor the visa even if it’s pasted on an expired visa. Just make sure u have both and that the visa remains valid
hi, ask ko lang kung sa USJ ay tax free din pag nag shopping dun?
Tax free are for 5k yen up. Minsan 5110 or depende sa store. Basta its 5kup. So make sure to always bring ur passport Hindi rin siya pede iconsume while in japan. kahit sinasabi ng madami na ok lang, id rather follow para iwas implication sa mga future tourist in the future.
Hi may alam po kayo house na rent room lang 1 month. Tokyo ?
hello, may grab/uber po ba sa Japan or taxi lang?
Uber taxi…yES!
Ano po gamit nyong camera?
Bali is nice. Everybody in Indonesia can be a millionaire. Because their currency exchange rate is for $100 = 1,480,000 Rupiah. Hehehe.
Hi. Are you saying you only bring passports if you plan to do shopping? I have read na in Japan, it is mandatory to bring passport all the time. Which is correct? Thanks
That’s not what we’re saying at all. We said “Don’t ever leave your passport especially on shopping days.”
You should always bring your passport when going outside.
@@thepoortraveler thank you
Sir the Grab insurance you were saying earlier how much is the cost per person in Philippine peso?
There are US base insurance companies that apply everywhere. Some have better coverage than Grab or local insurance (Covid, Dental, Walk in check-up)
I’m saying the total cash that I have to bring in travelling Japan, at least in your estimate how it must to have a descent 2 weeks vacation in Japan?
Mga how much po need na budget for few days in japan?
Peg it as 10k pesos per person per day
Pero for me talaga, hindi matatawaran ang train system :O, i love japan more pero ibang klase ang train system sa korea haha
Yung kaibigan ko habang nag tour sila sa Japan inatake sa puso ang asawa nya na hospital sa japan ng isang buwan nasa 20 million yen ang ginastos nila. Buti na lang daw anak nya marunong mag salita ng hapon.
Shimanami
Sir need po ba diploma or college degree to travel japan? Drop out student po ako then year 2010 nag try ako mag negosyo and nag boom ngayun i have money no problem sakin yun ang problema ko kung makakalabas ako ng japan ng hindi madedenied visa
If for tourism lang po, hindi naman po kailangan ng diploma or college degree. Nanay ko po, grade 6 ang natapos, nakakapag-Japan naman po.
@@thepoortraveler thnx po apply ako visa to japan ty sa info
Grab travel 😂
Hi, is this video sponsored by GRAB?
ok na ako manood lng, pass sa pag subs
Absolute biggest mistake by tourists on a budget is overpaying for hotels. Excellent all around
Your accent is very hard to comprehend, like mixed of english and filipino mixed up together.
its already in the title “FILIPINO” why even bother watching it. dumbss
“like mixed of english and filipino mixed up together” you can’t even construct a decent sentence. the fcc
I hate your channel NAME very NEGA UBER.... but you have great content!😊
I'd recommend making an English only version of this video. I believe you would be losing a lot of views on this video due the language barrier.
I would rather Google a list of travel mistakes on the internet than read your subtitles for 14 minutes. I would have acquired all the information I needed within a minute.
If you are targeting a specific market (Filipino or International), you should cater your videos specifically to them with English or Filipino titles to suit.
I have watched many of your other videos. Unfortunately, I gave up on this one within the first minute.
I have seen other channels, like Ralfs Foto-Bude who make two identical training videos but one is in German and the other in English.
You have a very good channel. I'd hate to see you lose subscribers..
Thanks for this suggestion, Vince! Perfect because we're actually already in the process of creating English versions of our Tagalog videos starting with our Bangkok videos. We'll also color mark them (pink for English and blue for Tagalog for easy reference) 😀
@@thepoortraveler That’s awesome! I can’t wait to see the new (old) videos. LOL
Madami pa din pong prefered status quo for Taglish content nyo kesa parang documentary. Mas nakakarelate at hindi pasosyal
@@rachel_vill English please.
So nice and wonderful there in Japan i been in Osaka one time.. I love Autumn season.. God Bless sir and enjoy..
