- Narita Airport Guide and Haneda Airport Guide. The must-know tips before leaving Japan. These Japan travel hacks are things Japan tourists and travelers need to know before going back to their home country from either Narita Airport or Haneda Airport, based on my experience. We will discuss luggage delivery service to the airport, returning your IC card such as a suica refund or pasmo refund, where to get souvenirs in a pinch, what do do with all your foreign currency, how to spend your final day in Tokyo and most importantly where to eat at the airport. I hope this Japan travel guide helps in your travel in Tokyo and makes your departure from Narita and Haneda much easier.

Let me know what videos you want to see more of from the channel?
I m in love with your " day in a life of ..." series,they are my favourite because it s unique, you find videos of japanease food , onsen ... everywhere, but in my opinion, there is no better way to really know the culture, than to experience it through the locals themselves, really good job with those videos. Thank you for doing your best you and your lovely wife ^^ , lots of love from me and my husband from Morocco^^
I like any video with FOOD in it :)
how to vlog tutorial, vlogging equipment and setup, vlogging tips. the best and cheapest way to get around japan from tokyo. your top# of revolving sushi restaurants :)
@@halimataouaou3738 Thanks!!! I'm uploading the next Day in the Life video next week. Let me know what you think when it comes out.
@@karenchi Thanks for the suggestions. Here's a link to all my gear and setup in the meantime - www.tokyozebra.com/my-gear
Wait wait wait. I have to leave? No, I don't want to.
Someone doesn't work in Japan then.
I'd rather grind it out in Japan than here in the US. But hey, I think we all get tired of what we have grown up with and become infatuated with what we perceive as a life we wish we could live somewhere else.
I’m from Hong Kong, and I just came back days ago,and heard somebody say”BYE BYE HONG KONG” repeatedly. I guess he doesn’t want to come back so he says bye bye
@@icannotthinkofaname6248 Well ... The protests must've stirred up such opinions.
@@trustweb99 maybe
Im about to visit Tokyo in August, i need to Meet you
I also used that service for luggage delivery from hotel to hotel. I just want to say how convenient it is, specially when you start accumulating items you are bringing back. The hotel desk can help you fill out the form. If staying at hostels you can contact them ahead of time to arrange it.
Suica/Pasmo card is valid for 10 years so just bring it home then use it on your next trip. I have been to Japan 3 times. 4th trip this November and 5th on Feb 2020!
Exact thing we do. Plus it can be kept as a souvenir as well.
I think for 200 Yen or so, you can have name written on it....I always have a MMYYYY as a souvenir...then I get different ones each trip....but I use up the value at 7-11 or family mart getting drinks and stuff so its a "blank value" card I keep....
A lot of people will only visit a country once.
@@scwhk1 It depends on where you are and where you wanna go...I have visited Japan quite a few times....even walked the stretch of "weekend" Ginza at least twice per season, less to mention other parts of Tokyo or Japan itself...
@@scwhk1 Japan is a country people must visit multiple times
Paolo you've done your viewers proud! Your videos are always so helpful and this shows by how much your subscribers have grown! 500K soon! 😁🙌
You have the most comprehensive videos out there! I really appreciate all the information and your awesome attitude in every single episode makes it feel like I’m watching a close friend who guides me through my favorite country! Excellent job! And congratulations to you newlyweds! You guys make a GREAT couple! I’m really happy for you two!!
I never have to eat alone when i watch your videos! Cheers!
I like to stay at the airport the night before leaving, so I check in to a capsule hotel, like the 9 Hours at Narita terminal 2.
Then I just walking around and I always end up at the observation deck with some snacks and couple of beers from the konbini, aah, perfect way to say good bye to Japan.
And no stress the next morning.
Oh man, I really want to visit Japan. My brother went there a year ago and when he told me about his trip I asked him to visit places that I want to go, like Kyoto (Temples, shrines, etc), Hiroshima (Museums, ground zero, etc), Osaka, the bar life in Tokyo and also, as a MUST, the Gundam Unicorn statue in Odaiba (Huge Gundam fan myself). I think he saw some of your videos and when I recently discovered your channel and shared it with him, he told me he did saw some of them, which helped him A LOT!!!
Thank you so much for your time creating this for us, for sharing your experiences, your knowledge and also the time and dedication you and Maiko take to do all this for us. A huge hug from El Salvador in Central America.. =D
Hey Paolo...your videos really helped when we visited Japan earlier this month...In love with Japan!!! keep the videos comming!!😊🤩
Hey Paolo, I just wanted to say I really love the content. Your increasingly positive attitude is surely one to envy! I'm definitely glad to have been recommended your channel, please keep up the amazing work and live happy! :)
spending the last day at an onsen after you check out is an amazing idea! i wish i had thought of that when i was there last year. we had a 9pm flight so we paid extra to checkout at 1pm plus more to store our bags while we went out for lunch and shopping. i had even considered paying an extra night but our apartment wasn't available. it prob wouldve been cheaper and more relaxing to go to an onsen
Love the videos. So so helpful! We are leaving for a 3 wk trip to Japan in mid Oct. Watching all the vids just get me more pumped to go
Another great video Paolo! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you Pablo for another informational video on japan!!! My first trip to japan was in 2018 & a bunch of the tips & places we went we got them from your videos!! I’m going back March 2020 for the cherry blossom with a group of 12 friends, can’t wait to be back thanks again & keep up all the great work!
-Alvin

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the info with the pocket change. I wish I had known about this before.
Good stuff Paolo, very helpful for my next trip to Tokyo! Thanks!
Tip #3 is such a good idea! I always have all this loose change I want to get rid of and this is great!
Paolo, the shop attendants were so nice and helpful in Narita. We had a layover and they helped me with everything. Wonderful country and people.♥️
Helpful tips! Thanks, Paolo! 😊
One of your most informative vids yet. Heading to japan soon, and I’ll def put this info to use! 🙏🏾
Nice tipps!
And a special thanks for covering the vegan alternatives❤
Japan just feels so people friendly. Love it.
This video dropped 6 months after my first Japan trip, but it's useful to know these things for a second trip post-COVID.
Man I've been to Tokyo several times but I love your videos cause it shows soooo much that I miss out on! Going again in December so can't wait to try these things out!!!!!
I’m going in November for the first time. Very excited! I really like his little tips as well.

I'll be leaving Japan next week after four months here and this pocketchange is really amazing. Thank you for your tips!
Hi Pabolo. Thanks for you awesome Videos about Japan. I have been in Japan for one week and leaving tomorrow. You videos helped me a lot to plan my trip. Keep doing the good job!! I wish I can see you. I can come to Shibuya since you live there.

I found your channel last week and I love it! Your enthusiasm is awesome :D
Thanks Raoul Bausewein!
Thanks for sharing all these amazing videos from Japan , your friend from Canada
2 thumbs up, Paolo! Really instructive one!
I love Don Quijote, I was impressed with variety of things they have. We definitely going back to Japan wife n kids love it but our destinations will be Osaka n Kyoto and Tokyo again. Thanks for ur videos, they are very helpful and keep them going
Thank you Paola! Hope can see you at Tokyo!!!
Narita, best airport we've ever experienced. So efficient. We loved visiting Japan.
Great tips, man! Thanks a lot.
Thanks! I'm going to Japan soon and this is very useful.
Such an informative and visually pleasing video! I am hoping to teach English in Japan with my boyfriend and have been obsessed with your videos lately- especially as you have such a friendly and kind face. :)
good informations ! Thanks !
Both airports got so much upgrades. I’m sure this is because Olympic 2020. Nice!
Thanks for the information, I will use this information when I go to Japan.
Hope you have an amazing time in Japan! 😁
Thank you for the support.
@@jdgarcia4767 How long are you going for?
I don't know yet.
Great Info .
very cool and handy video guys! Thanks! :D
We visited our son in Japan for the first time in April . We have been missing Japan ever since . We can’t wait to go back.
Awesome job tips thanks bro.
That pocket change machine is awesome! I'm going to Japan next month, will definitely have to try it out. Thanks for the video! :)
Lot's of great information👍
I like that pocket change machine thanks for showing this helpful tip!
Super helpful THANKS!
thanks for making these videos! they are really helpful. i like how you mentioned the don quijote and big camera. never would have thought that there are so many things in an electronic store. great tips! can you make a video on what are some useful items to pack for the seasons? we are planning to go to tokyo in september. thank you so much! =)
such a cool cutie! thanks for the helpful tips and day in the life series is my fave!
Love your vids Paolo!
The 6 tips you need to know before leaving Japan.
1. Dont forget your passport
2. Dont forget your passport
3. Dont forget your passport
4. Dont forget your passport
5. Dont forget your passport
And finally
6. Dont forget your passport!
Safe travels!
What if you lost it / lost it on purpose?
@@skystink you have to get a new one
Umm did u forget your passport? Lol
@@cosianpirulo2 he obviously did.
In japan you need to have it on tou at all times. You shouldnt of lost it anyway 😂
Very interesting facts, thanks for your good advice, man! You're amazing! 😊
Thanks for watching Jade Cummings! Glad you like the advice.
I went for ramen at that location in Narita a couple years ago! Was fantastic.
I kept my Suica card. I figured that I would someday come back and would save some time. Thankfully I'm going back this year. Hopefully it still works
Lol we kept our Suica card too because we're going back to Japan soon! 😁
Thank-you again . I didn't realize just how big Narita Airport is.
Thanks for the tips, especially what to do with all the coins! I will not have any headache in my next Japan trip :)
5 days before I left Japan, and this popped up on my feed, very Informative!
I"m leaving in 3 days, and this popped up for me too. Hmm...strange.
@@k.e.trinidad2304 It's like he knows we're leaving soon, hmmm...
For Haneda Airport, make sure you get food BEFORE you go through security, the options are so much better! There is a super good tonkatsu place if you turn left after going up the escalator from the check in desks
Just got back from Tokyo and found your videos really useful for planning that trip, thanks! I ate at that Tsukemen restaurant and loved it as well. In terms of luggage, I used Sagawa to store and ship luggage from Tokyo station to Narita since we wanted a lighter load when we went to Kyoto for a couple of days. Very easy service to use even with the language barrier.
Also note, most travelers from the USA fully expect the airport food and drinks to be marked up 2x to 3x above normal price. Not so in Narita! The 7-11 in the secure area had normal prices for everything, including the awesome egg sandwich!
Also note that there's a new Suica card called "Welcome Suica" which doesn't have the 500 yen deposit but you can't return it and it expires after ~28 days. They sell it at the airports so it can get confusing which Suica you end up getting. Just don't load too much money on it and at the end of the trip, buy a bunch of egg sandwiches at the airport 7-11 with the remaining balance!
We are new to the channel. Like your videos. Thanks!
Thanks Paolo! The pocket change machine might help us a lot!
Hi Paolo, just wanna say I love your video's! They're very informative and definitely help me plan my first trip to Japan. But boy do they make me hungry all the time 😂
Thanks for this information! My friends and I have heeded your suggestions in the past and have found them helpful when traveling in Japan. That Mobal SIM Card referral was clutch 👊🏽. smh I completely forgot to return my Suica card for a refund the last time 😅, so I will be saving this vid to refer back to it before my next visit.
Important note: depending on what region of Japan you purchase your IC card, you may not be able to return it in a different Region.
more like depending on which company you purchased IC card.
The thing have to do before Leaving Tokyo?
*VISIT Osaka!!*😆😆😆!
Oh already came?
Then, Come again!!🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for all the info, love your videos! I just found all my leftover Japanese yen so I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it since I’m going for another Tokyo trip in less than a week. I’ll need it for those late night Shibuya Don Quijote runs 😂
Love his videos.
Hi Pablo, been watching all your videos lately and thanks for the hard work. I have a question about luggage services. Is there a place I can drop my luggage for 5-6 hours before a late night flight in Tokyo?
Aloha Paolo!
I discovered your channel earlier this year and have enjoyed your insights on Japan. The question I have is about the food. Do you eat all that great food in a single day of recording or do you record the episodes over a few days and space out your meals? Mahalo from Oahu Hawaii! Rick
hi i have a question will you do video's about things to do in the north of japan?
ps thanks a lot for all these video's you gave me great idea's for my trip in april
great job! nice video! The loose change problem we were taking care of by just dumping them, particularly the smallest ones, at the nearest Lawsons or Family Mart which have donation tins at the registers
Thanks for these tidbits. I always seem to feel kind of lost on my final day in Japan. My fiancee and I are heading back to Japan in October (for our 4th time). I really appreciate your videos and I share them with all of my friends. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you bro
I liked the statement shirt so muccch!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Great Video Paolo! Very useful, as a former airline staff I really enjoyed it! Full of very convenient and helpful informations to travel the easy way. I loved the change machine, what a great idea. Every Big International airpirt should at least have a couple of them. It was a great idea to mention it in your video. Thank you also for thinking of your Vegan Friends, it is not very common yet to find vegan food in airports! Thank you for mentioning it. It is always a pleausre to watch your vidéos!
Love your videos. Can you do more in other countries/cities? Eg Seoul Taipei Saigon
WOW ...ITS VERY WONDERFUL VIDEO AND I LIKE YOUR SPEECH...............THANKS....
Great video as always... can do one for Kansai Airport too? See you in your next video soon.
Awesome video!!🤣🤣
Hi Paolo from Tokyo-san, will you be also doing videos like this for the Kansai airport and Kyoto airport for the ones landing in the Kansai region???
Make vid on what to pack for Japan during winter season 😊
If only I knew about Pocket Change when I was there...lol. Thanks for the video!
Hey Paolo, could you make a video for fun places to play Pokemon Go in Japan? I love your videos by the way. I'll be in Japan for the first time in November. I just recently turned thirty last month, I've been dreaming of making it to Japan for the past 25 years. I'm SO excited to be going to Japan! Your Japan videos took the nervousness and angst I had of traveling to Japan away completely, I thank you very much for that!!
Hi Paolo,
thanks for your great and helpful videos. We will have a round trip through Japan. Can you give me a hint who can transport the luggage from hotel to hotel and what it costs?
And a second question I have. Can you give me some helpful hints to eat Fugo? Where are the best area in Japan to eat it or do you know some restaurants for it?
Thanks a lot and best regards from Germany!
Paolo san, your channel is awesome and useful. I'm planing to visit Japan soon and I would like to have a photo shot session dresses in full samurai armor, do you know if this service is provided and where can I find it in Tokyo ?
I wish I could watch this video before we came back from Japan at last night. (Damn! This video came out yesterday!) We stayed there (Tokyo, Kyoto and Okinawa) for one month. Originally I’m from Japan but had been in nyc for 20yrs so I don’t know so much about Japan anymore! I watched all your videos (every Friday night in nyc) and of course we watched some episodes again before leaving US and while we were staying in Japan too! Thanks for all of your hard work :) We will keep watching! Keep up your wonderful job!
Love your videos and your enthusiasm man! Keep it up and see you at 1 Million! ;)
Thanks for watching ProRallyDriver!
Pocket Change machine is brilliant
Great tips. I have a late night Haneda flight and a few hours at the local onsen would be perfect.
