Even though the rainy season hasn't started yet, it's as hot as summer alreadyΣ੧(❛□❛✿). Don't forget to stay hydrated if you come to Japan sooner or later in the summer! Anyway, thank you for watching.😉I'm not sure if there are some tips you don't know....so please let me know if you don't know any of them😘
@yvonneg9019 Thank you for watching😊 That's Okay! I believe Ramen, Yakiniku are popular. If you like meat, I would recommend Tonkastu💯 There is so much good food, so I also recommend going to Japanese pubs to eat a variety of Japanese food😉
Hi ! My family and I are visiting japan in june this year , how concerned should we be about the STSS outbreak? Should we cancel our trip or postpone it ? Your answer would really help us make a decision
The department store recommendation is super! I will definitely check them out. Thanks Nao for all the incredible tips and wonderful videos. Keep it up!
best strawberry daifuku was in the basement food store of the K'netsu store in Nara. Well, that's just my opinion. I also enjoyed the shopping on several floors of that building.
It's always sooo interesting to get to Japan even more by some tips which people are sharing. That makes life easier here (even though I'm here for a total of three years now haha!). Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Nao! I'm planning to visit Japan soon, but my main concern is that I cannot eat raw seafood or undercooked meat (I get stomachaches). How much will that limit my food choices if I want to try as much authentic food as possible?
Thank you for watching😉 I don't think it's a huge problem. Most foods we eat are surly not raw foods😆 You can also tell restaurant staff about that before you order💯
11:14 I'm going to Kure (from Tokyo) on my trip in the summer and I'm going to be flying to Iwakuni and taking the train to Kure. It's faster AND cheaper. 18500 for the flight and train, vs 20000 for the Shinkansen and transfers.
I'm researching for a trip late in 2025. Nao my dear, this is the most useful channel I have found so far. Thank you! Oh, and any tips on how to make the most of the Setouchi Art Festival would be most welcome.
Thank Nao for another great video. I'm wondering... have you ever made a video about the AVATAR ROBOT CAFE? It is a Tokyo cafe where the robots are not AI but are piloted by disabled people all across Japan. For example, the robot that takes your order is a person in Okayama suffering from muscular dystrophy. The person that delivers your order is in Aomori bedridden with spinal atrophy. It's amazing! I think your channel is a nice "fit" since you highlight what makes Japan unique. This is the only restaurant, in the WORLD, where the robots are actually handicapped individuals that can't leave home. This way, they can end their loneliness as well as feel productive in society. I went yesterday. But YOUR talking style is much better than mine. (^.-) Please consider it. Thank you!
Thank you for watching again😉 I haven't been there! I will check and search for it! Thank you for your suggestion anyway. I hope you had a good time there yesterday 😊 See you on another video😉
Thank you also Nao. Your channel is impressive. I want it to grow quickly. Education helps solve Over-Tourism difficulties. Let's get you to 100K subscribers soon. I am a retired Amazon executive. My role was helping start-ups (that later joined Amazon). My point is... if you like, I will buy your lunch at the Avatar Robot Cafe. Then you can see (and I can explain) better to help your decision is easier. The only problem is your channel has no email contact. Other channels do. Just a suggestion. Thanks again!
Thank you for your word and suggestion😉 The reason why I don't put my email contact is that I just want to focus on making good videos at the moment😂 It's so appreciated that you asked me to help! But what you are watching and comment my videos already have been a massive support for me💯 Thank you for all your support! That drives my motivation even higher😎
Thank you for watching😉 It all depends on your itinerary! But we use many lines while we move around Tokyo. So, if your pass is only for limited lines, I think it's not a good idea to buy. There is also the pass you can ride any lines in Tokyo but I believe you can't get your money's worth😃
I have another question. I put on revolut an account in yen. Do I still need to bring cash with me or I can get free of charge from the atm in the airport?
I believe you still need to bring cash to Japan just in case! We have a video talking about money in Japan here 💯 th-cam.com/video/scMYnAfnCIM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching😉 Yes, it is, but in my opinion, it hasn't been a social problem yet. We live as usual👌 If you worry about that, it's a good idea to check more details from the website run by the Japanese government (reliable than me😂)
For temaki sure. For nigirzushi, maybe depending on the circumstances (Unless you're at some high-end place virtually no one will care.). For Barazushi, Houbazushi, Bouse no sugatazushi, Shikaimaki, Sabasushi, Hanatsubaki, Funa Sushi, Osezushi, Kokera Sushi, Kakimaburi, Nishinzushi, Ajinooshi sushi, and probably a bunch of other types, nope; it would be impractical. Fun fact: in Napoli, where rules about dining and food are famously strict, people eat pizza either with their hands or knife and fork as circumstances dictate. Just need to 場の空気を読む [read the air],
Thanks Nao. This was great. I never considered flying to Kyushu! It saves a lot of time and perhaps on the way back I can get on the train. One question, please: Would you recommend a few places to for Sake? I'd love to try a few.
Thank you for watching again😉 Drinking sake? I believe even though you go to Japanese izakayas in Tokyo, you can try some local Japanese sakes💯 If you are talking about places famous for their sake, they are basically famous for producing rice, too. Nigata, Akita...of course, Hyogo. Kyusyu area is also famous for its sake. You can find many local sakes in each region, and that's also a fun part of visiting other places in Japan😘

👋 Hi Nao, I like Wasabi and 🫚 ginger. Thanks for your help. Now is counting down 😊
I don’t eat seafood, ( I know it’s crazy !) what else do you recommend for meals that are special Japanese dishes ?
@silvae6870 Thank you for watching again😉 I'm happy to hear you like Wasabi!haha
Yes, summer is coming, and you are coming😎
@yvonneg9019 Thank you for watching😊 That's Okay!

Hi !
My family and I are visiting japan in june this year , how concerned should we be about the STSS outbreak? Should we cancel our trip or postpone it ?
Your answer would really help us make a decision
Supermarket basements are so good! We would go at 5-6pm, with most items being marked down (sometimes half price!).
Thank you for watching! If you go there around 19:30-21:00, you mostly get discounted too😊
I have just come back from Japan, and the trip was just amazing, Japan is very authentic, and at the same time living in 2050.
Thank you for watching😊 I'm glad to hear that you had a good time here! Waiting for you to come back someday again😎
The tip about Tabelog is super valuable- thank you! Beer's on me 🍻
Thank you for watching, and your super thanks😉 We will use it for making other good videos (and... beer😂).
The department store recommendation is super! I will definitely check them out. Thanks Nao for all the incredible tips and wonderful videos. Keep it up!
Thank you for watching.😉 Yeah, there are many excellent restaurants! I hope you find a nice one!
Great video; thank you!
these are great tips that i never hear from other videos, thank you so much!!
Thank you for watching and for your comment😘

Thank you for watching😊 I like strawberry daifuku too!
Walking around inside the department store should be fun😉
4:10 sushi with no wasabi has no soul in it, i would not recommend removing it entirely. 😂
Thank you for watching! Hahaha totally agree with you but any ways to eat is fine as long as they enjoy😊
Greetigs- Yo!total super sharing!;))
Thank you for watching😉

Thank you for watching😊 You seem to be enjoying life in Japan very much💯 And your Japanese food looks delicious😘
@@JapanwithNao Yes indeed, I really like it in Japan! And thanks so much for checking out my videos!!
That's a great suggestion regarding using a plane instead of the Shinkansen train when going to Fukuoka and other places with an airport nearby. 👍
Thank you for watching again👍 I always use an airplane to go to Osaka from Tokyo😊
@@JapanwithNao I hope we can try that in the future given the chance.

@@JapanwithNao It will depend on the overhead of the airports ;)
I'm researching for a trip late in 2025. Nao my dear, this is the most useful channel I have found so far. Thank you!
Oh, and any tips on how to make the most of the Setouchi Art Festival would be most welcome.
Thank you for watching and discovering my channel😊
We will do our best to share more tips for your trip to Japan in 2025👍
Very thankful to be able to learn this and not make a complete ass out myself as a guest in Japan. Appreciate it.

Hi. I see a lot of advices about ic cards but what about day transport pass in the cities ? I heard that one in Tokyo is around 600 yen .
Thank you for watching😉 It all depends on your itinerary! But we use many lines while we move around Tokyo. So, if your pass is only for limited lines, I think it's not a good idea to buy. There is also the pass you can ride any lines in Tokyo but I believe you can't get your money's worth😃

Hi Nao, is it true that there is a flesh eating virus in Japan? Im going in 3 months but that news is scary!
Thank you for watching😉 Yes, it is, but in my opinion, it hasn't been a social problem yet. We live as usual👌 If you worry about that, it's a good idea to check more details from the website run by the Japanese government (reliable than me😂)
Is there a reason for your hatsuon of "Izakaya"?
Thank you for watching😉 I often confused to pronouncing Japanese words while I speak English so...😂
You pronounce "izakaya" like many non-Japanese speakers. Your pronunciation makes it seem like it's correct!
Yeah, I struggle to adjust to sudden accent changes...haha I will Make it better next time😉
Eat sushi with your hands, not chopsticks.
Thank you for watching and for your advice?😉
That's kind of a myth. Lots of Japanese, and especially women, use chopsticks
I live in Japan and have never seen any of my Japanese family eating sushi with their hands. We all use hashi (chopsticks).
@@jamava77 I'm not saying how people do eat sushi, I'm saying how people *should* eat sushi. Nigiri sushi is made to be eaten by hand.
For temaki sure. For nigirzushi, maybe depending on the circumstances (Unless you're at some high-end place virtually no one will care.). For Barazushi, Houbazushi, Bouse no sugatazushi, Shikaimaki, Sabasushi, Hanatsubaki, Funa Sushi, Osezushi, Kokera Sushi, Kakimaburi, Nishinzushi, Ajinooshi sushi, and probably a bunch of other types, nope; it would be impractical.
