  • in this video I'm gonna share with you guys what to do when you first land in Japan.

  • This'll video is brought to you by mobile sim cards more about mobile later on in this video.

  • So most of you coming to Japan for the first time maybe a little bit intimidated.

  • You might be confused because completely different language.

  • A whole new country.

  • So in this video, I wanted to kind of show you my tips and tricks about what you should do when you first come to Japan.

  • And since I've been living in Japan for more than 15 years now, I kind of know among way around this airport I really want to share my tips and tricks.

  • But before I start this, if you want to see what I'm doing a daily races where I'm doing, I'm filming these videos.

  • Definitely check out my instagram account.

  • Oh, and if you like my Japan Odie, I'll leave a link in the description.

  • All right, so let's get started.

  • And what better way to start then, at the airport travelers flying and took it for the first time.

  • I have an option to flying to Narita or Haneda airport, I often get asked, What's the difference routine to airports?

  • So let me clear things up for you know, Rita's a larger of the two airports and is generally known to have more international flights, while Haneda has more domestic flights.

  • Both have lots of dining and shopping years, but since Haneda is newly renovated, I have to get the NATO the overall edge.

  • When it comes to attractions, biggest differentiator between both airports is a distance to Tokyo reaches about one hour away by express train, while honey does about 15 or 30 minutes.

  • Train right away.

  • So it's a little cheaper transportation wines from Haneda.

  • So one of the first things that I recommend when coming to any country is tohave some Internet connectivity.

  • I know that there's WiFi it in like different spots, but in Tokyo we're gonna be traveling to so many different places that I definitely recommend getting a SIM card.

  • Fortunately in this video, Mobile has sponsored us and has given us a SIM card to use.

  • What's nice about Mobile is that they can send you the SIM card to your home country, free of shipping before you even get to Japan.

  • so you're connected and you're all covered and there's nothing to worry about.

  • But in case you didn't have time to get the SIM card in advance, they actually have places you can pick up at the airport or all throughout Tokyo and Japan Mobile even offer English customer support.

  • All right, now that I have my SIM card, we can get in is in business.

  • What's really nice about the SIM card is that it's the same Sim card as myself bank, the one that regular use when I'm living in Japan.

  • So I know that it has the coverage.

  • In fact, Softbank is covered 99% of all of Japan.

  • So wherever you go, wherever I've been, I've always had a pretty good reception.

  • What's nice is that it's unlimited data.

  • Plus it's for G.

  • So it's super fast.

  • Now that we're connected, let me show you some favor out, so you guys definitely need When you come to Japan, it'll make your life so much easier.

  • One of the things that's really daunting for a lot of people first coming to depend is a transit like Metro because of all the different transfers.

  • Know what a lot of Japanese people use is they use and Jordan, and not every time.

  • But it's since the Japanese.

  • I don't actually recommend that you use it that are some English chaps.

  • But in fact, what I've found is that Google works pretty well, gives you a pretty good directions.

  • You don't have Google that I would just definitely download that Google maps up just from where you are to your destination, and you should be able to get like the train schedules.

  • Based on that, you might have some specific travel apps for your language.

  • But if you really want, like something that's pretty up to date, definitely just use Google maps.

  • Oh, and another cool app is the Google translation app.

  • If you guys don't know this down with Google, translate up, and when you don't know the language or you don't know like the menu, is there anything you can put it up to the picture or the menu item that you're looking at it?

  • It'll translate on the fly.

  • It's actually pretty cool.

  • Now if you're looking for what eat and where to eat, where sure check out my past YouTube videos as well as my Tokyo zebra dot com website for more maps and guides.

  • But if you want local restaurant reviews, don't bother with Yelp or trip Advisor.

  • Everyone in Japan uses that Roberto website for this.

  • Although the site is primarily in Japanese, it does offer in English interface with useful info about the restaurant and pictures of the food, all easily accessible from your device at any time with your mobile Sam.

  • Also another local tip.

  • Although the uber taxi app is popular in most parts of the world, it's really not that popular in Japan one because it's run by a private company so that rates aren't any cheaper than normal taxis and sometimes even more expensive, too.

  • It's always a grab a taxi in Tokyo.

  • No point waiting to call a taxi when one's already there.

  • Finally, if you plan on making some Japanese friends, everyone here uses line messenger.

  • If you're looking to change contact details and someone, this is the way to go down little before you get to Japan and save yourself some time.

  • So if you're feeling a little funky, there's actually several places you could take.

  • Showers here in the airport.

  • When is this capital hotel, even take naps there or stay overnight, which is fairly cheap.

  • Rita have the shower spot called nine Hours a terminal to It offers clean Sharples and is also a typical capital style hotel, while Haneda has first cabin at Terminal one.

  • In addition to the showers, it has a pretty decent size on sent back, which is pretty dope for being at an airport.

  • You guys down anyway, either.

  • These capital hotels are also worth considering.

  • If you have an early morning return flight, I've actually done a video on the Capsule Hotel in Haneda is actually a luxury capsule hotel, and it's pretty cool.

  • So you're flying in from Haneda.

  • You might want to check that out, but they also have dedicated shower rooms all throughout Morita.

  • I'll leave a link in the description.

  • There's actually several ways to get into the city successes.

  • In another video, it's a guide from Narita to Tokyo.

  • Several different options.

  • There's a taxi, which is just like super expensive so no one ever takes.

  • That leaves you with two other options.

  • You can either take the train or the bus if you're going to a big hotel that I recommend taking the bus because it'll actually like, take you to the specific hotel.

  • But since I live in shit, Julia and I'm going to go straight there.

  • It's actually easier for me to take The Nutty Express straight into the Shubert from here, so it really depends on your location.

  • Find out what the closest drop off spot for the bus and for the train is.

  • And then I would plan my trip accordingly and use that transportation.

  • But the Nutty Express as well as the buses that roughly the same Christ, did you take a limousine bus?

  • Cheaper buses.

  • If you want 1000 yen, you can take those.

  • But they only go to very, very specific spots.

  • It might be really Park Hotel, so it may not be worth taking that because it's just, like, so difficult to get to you.

  • All right, so now we're on our way to Tokyo.

  • Another nice thing is to get a sewage card or a passable card.

  • Basically what?

  • These are our pre paid cards.

  • A lot of people coming in Japan will get the Jr rail pass, but that actually doesn't work on the Metro.

  • You can buy an icy card at the ticketing machine.

  • At any transition, you can get one here at Narita Airport, just in front of the J R 90 express entrance.

  • You need a 500 yen deposit for the card, and if you turn it, you'll get it back.

  • You can load the car up to 20,000 yen, which is roughly $180.

  • I see card can be used on most train and subways all throughout Japan, but also at convenience stores, chaos, vending machines, some restaurants and even at major electronic stores.

  • And don't worry.

  • So you got plasma work exactly the same, even though they're issued by different companies.

  • Now that you've got some time to kill in the train before you reach Tokyo, might as well take advantage of your new mobile SIM card.

  • You can finally upload your new instagram stories.

  • For if you're staying at an Airbnb, I suggest messaging the host to let them know you're on your way.

  • If you have trouble finding their apartment, which happened to me before, you can call them.

  • Since the mobile SIM card comes to the real Japanese phone number, which even receives local calls and text for free, perfect for short term and long term visitors.

  • And did I mention that it's super easy to order online with no complicated paperwork, no contracts, no activation fees, no termination fees and no taxes, plus a majority of the profits go to charity, travel the world and make it a better place to, as always, linked during the description of this video.

  • All right, so I hope you guys are now ready for Tokyo.

  • Thanks again to mobile for sponsoring this video.

  • It really helps me out.
