I've been in Japan for a couple of weeks now unfortunately I'm still in my service apartment hoping to find a permanent apartment soon, maybe next week.

我已經在日本呆了幾個星期了，不幸的是我還在我的服務公寓裡，希望能儘快找到一個永久的公寓，也許是下週。

Just finding an apartment has been a lot more difficult than I had originally anticipated.

僅僅是尋找公寓就比我原先預計的困難得多。

So yeah, that's not the point of this video though.

所以是的，雖然這不是這段視頻的重點。

Once I do find an apartment, I will upload the apartment hunting videos and yeah, there's gonna be lots of exciting content coming up.

一旦我真的找到了公寓，我將上傳尋找公寓的視頻，是的，會有很多令人興奮的內容出現。

I wanted to make this video today because Japan has finally opened up the borders to tourism.

我今天想做這個視頻，因為日本終於向旅遊業開放了邊界。

It is currently October 11.

目前是10月11日。

So if you guys want to book trips to Japan now is the time to come and I know there's been a lot of different rules and changes to Japan since the pandemic.

是以，如果你們想預訂去日本的旅行，現在是時候了，我知道自從大流行病以來，日本有很多不同的規則和變化。

So I wanted to make this video to talk about these changes so hopefully it can help you guys plan your trips to Japan.

是以，我想做這個視頻來談談這些變化，所以希望它能幫助你們計劃你們的日本之行。

But first of all I just want to talk about visas.

但首先我只想談談簽證問題。

You don't need to join a tour agency or join a tour group anymore to enter Japan.

你不需要再加入旅行社或參加旅行團來進入日本。

If your country is in the visa waiver program, you don't have to apply for visas, you can receive your visa when you land in Japan.

如果你的國家在免簽證計劃中，你不必申請簽證，你可以在登陸日本時獲得簽證。

So for Australians we can literally just book a ticket to Japan fly to Japan, enter immigration and you will get your 90 day tourist visa now the days depends on your country.

是以，對於澳大利亞人來說，我們只需訂一張去日本的機票，飛到日本，進入移民局，你就可以獲得90天的旅遊簽證，現在的日子取決於你的國家。

So make sure you check out your embassy website and find all your information there on how long you will get your visa for.

是以，請確保你查看你的大使館網站，並在那裡找到所有關於你將獲得多長時間簽證的資訊。

So getting a visa is pretty much pre pandemic now you can just enter Japan and get your tourist visa.

是以，現在獲得簽證幾乎是大流行前的事情，你可以直接進入日本並獲得旅遊簽證。

Now there are some things that have changed and things I recommend you do before you get to Japan.

現在有一些事情已經改變，我建議你在去日本之前做一些事情。

So number one the new covid rule and downloading my S.

是以，第一條是新的covid規則和下載我的S。

O.

O.

S.

S.

So the current rules for covid this could change later but as of october 11th right now if you are triple vaccinated you don't need to do a covid test before you go to Japan anymore.

是以，目前對covid的規定以後可能會改變，但從10月11日開始，如果你接種了三聯疫苗，在去日本之前就不需要再做covid測試。

You need to provide a vaccination certificate.

你需要提供一份疫苗接種證書。

So this is the one that I have for Australia but it shows that I have received three vaccines with the dates on them.

是以，這是我擁有的澳洲的疫苗，但它顯示我已經收到了三種疫苗，上面有日期。

Now you will need this certificate if you want to enter Japan without doing the covid test.

現在，如果你想在不做covid測試的情況下進入日本，你將需要這個證書。

If you are not triple vaccinated you need to provide a negative covid test 72 hours before you fly to Japan.

如果你沒有接種三聯疫苗，你需要在飛往日本前72小時提供陰性的covid測試。

Now in both cases you should download the my S.

現在在這兩種情況下，你應該下載我的S。

O.

O.

S.

S.

App.

應用。

So what you want to do is go into your app store, download the one star app.

所以你要做的是進入你的應用程序商店，下載一星應用程序。

Amazing.

令人驚歎。

Alright let's open the app and then you will have some terms of use.

好吧，讓我們打開應用程序，然後你會有一些使用條款。

We're just gonna sign our life away.

我們只是要把我們的生活籤掉。

I don't even know what it says.

我甚至不知道它說什麼。

Just agree to everything.

只要同意一切。

Yes.

是的。

Now selected country abuse it can detect them in Japan right now but when I did this of course I picked Australia set up in Australia.

現在選擇國家濫用它可以檢測到他們現在在日本，但當我這樣做的時候，當然我選擇澳洲設置在澳洲。

Um send notifications.

嗯，發送通知。

Yeah sure whatever.

是的，當然，不管怎樣。

Yes sure now these are the new rules so as of october 11th people entering Japan will no longer be required to take a covid test upon arrival and no longer required quarantine after entry to Japan.

是的，現在這些是新的規定，所以從10月11日開始，進入日本的人將不再需要在抵達時參加柯維德測試，也不再需要在進入日本後進行檢疫。

So yes confirmed.

是以，是的，確認了。

So the app screen would turn to the follow up mode after you enter Japan um but you are no longer two required to check the app yet confirm.

是以，在你進入日本嗯後，應用程序螢幕會轉到後續模式，但你不再是兩個需要檢查的應用程序，還需要確認。

So there's just some covid measures where masks, sanitize hands, you know the usual so let's just yep agree and then now we need to enter your information and register your account.

是以，只有一些常規措施，如口罩、消毒手，你知道通常的情況，所以我們只是同意，然後現在我們需要輸入你的資訊並註冊你的賬戶。

I am not going to fill this out because I'm already in Japan and there's no need for me to register but it's pretty straightforward fill out your details.

我不打算填寫這個，因為我已經在日本了，沒有必要再去註冊，但是填寫你的詳細資料是很直接的。

You also can upload your vaccination certificate and then it will be approved.

你也可以上傳你的疫苗接種證書，然後就會被準許。

Now it took me about one hour for mine to get approved.

現在，我花了大約一個小時就得到了準許。

Once it is approved your screen will turn blue.

一旦被準許，你的螢幕將變成藍色。

Now when you enter Japan you need to connect to the airport wifi which is free and then you need to get your QR code so you need to get your QR code.

現在，當你進入日本時，你需要連接到機場WIFI，這是免費的，然後你需要得到你的QR碼，所以你需要得到你的QR碼。

Now the staff at the airport can guide you through this.

現在，機場的工作人員可以指導你完成這項工作。

This will help you fast track through the airport when I arrived in Japan obviously because I arrived before the borders opened it was very quiet so I got through very quickly I believe right now it's going to be you know, very busy so make sure you get this done so you can get through the airport quickly.

這將幫助你快速通過機場，當我到達日本時，顯然是因為我在邊境開放之前就已經到達了，所以我很快就通過了，我相信現在它將是你知道的，非常繁忙，所以確保你把這個做好，這樣你就能快速通過機場。

Number two vaccination discounts.

第二種是接種疫苗的折扣。

I found out about this because of course Sophie and I want to go to U.

我發現這一點是因為蘇菲和我當然想去大學。

Number three squeaker on your phones.

你的手機上有三號吱吱聲。

I received a lot of questions about this from people.

我從人們那裡收到了很多關於這個問題的問題。

But yes I have my sweet on my phone.

但是，是的，我的手機上有我的甜蜜。

I just tap my phone onto the charge area at train stations so I don't have to fumble around find my card.

我只是在火車站把手機拍到充電區，這樣我就不用再摸索著找我的卡了。

Also I've lost quite a few sweet cards and pass because I'm the most forgetful person ever.

此外，我還丟失了不少甜蜜的卡片和通行證，因為我是最健忘的人。

So having it on my phone.

所以在我的手機上有它。

Hopefully I won't lose my phone.

希望我不會丟失我的手機。

So yeah it's just easier now I've had my speaker on my phone for about five years now When I charged my sweetheart on my phone I usually do it by cash at the train station.

所以，是的，現在只是更容易了，我在手機上安裝揚聲器已經有五年左右了。當我用手機給我的夫妻充電時，我通常在火車站用現金進行。

They have special machines that are pink.

他們有專門的機器，是粉紅色的。

You just literally shove your phone into the little box area that got there putting your cash and your phone charges.

你只是從字面上把你的手機塞進小盒子裡，那裡有放你的現金和你的電話費。

So I was charging my phone this way for the longest time.

所以我在很長一段時間內都是這樣給我的手機充電。

Even up to December 2019.

甚至到2019年12月為止。

That was the last time I was in Japan before the pandemic.

那是我在大流行病之前最後一次到日本。

I arrived in Japan September 2022 which is just a month ago and I tried to charge my phone in the same machines and it did not work for some reason if I put my phone in that charging area in the machine my phone will detect it.

我於2022年9月抵達日本，也就是一個月前，我試圖在同樣的機器上為我的手機充電，但由於某些原因，如果我把我的手機放在機器的充電區域，我的手機會檢測到它。

But it's thinking that I am paying for something so I could not charge my phone.

但它認為我在為一些東西付費，所以我不能為我的手機充電。

I think I stood there for 20 minutes trying to charge my phone over and over over and over again.

我想我在那裡站了20分鐘，試圖一遍又一遍地給我的手機充電。

It did not work.

它沒有發揮作用。

I watched a Japanese person charge their phone and they charged it with no problems.

我看了一個日本人給他們的手機充電，他們充電時沒有任何問題。

But I do have an Australian iphone.

但我確實有一個澳洲的蘋果手機。

So I don't know if it's because it's Australian if it's a new IOS update or something like that.

所以我不知道是否因為它是澳洲的，如果它是一個新的IOS更新或類似的東西。

So if you don't have a Japanese iphone you probably won't be able to use these machines anymore unless if there's some sort of IOS update that can fix this issue.

是以，如果你沒有日本的蘋果手機，你可能將無法再使用這些機器，除非有某種IOS的更新可以解決這個問題。

Now that comes to another issue.

現在這涉及到另一個問題。

So I don't charge my sweet on my phone using Apple Pay because I you know use Australian credit cards and there's exchange rates and fees and stuff so I prefer to charge my speaker using cash.

是以，我不使用蘋果支付在我的手機上充電，因為我你知道使用澳洲的信用卡，有匯率和費用之類的東西，所以我寧願使用現金給我的揚聲器充電。

But I have heard that people have been having issues trying to charge this week are with Apple Pay.

但我聽說，人們在本週嘗試充電時遇到了問題，是用蘋果支付。

So I did some research on this and I found out that if you use a Visa card it may not work but Mastercard and american express, it does work now luckily I found a way to charge my sweet car on my phone using cash because I was gonna lose my mind guys like I was freaking out, I ended up buying a new suite card and I was like like this is like first of all problems but I have to carry around a train card now I'm gonna lose it but like I got my speaker on my phone and I can't use it.

所以我對此做了一些研究，我發現如果你使用維薩卡，它可能無法工作，但萬事達卡和美國運通卡，它確實可以工作，現在幸運的是，我找到了一種方法，用現金在我的手機上為我可愛的汽車充電，因為我是要失去我的頭腦的傢伙，就像我被嚇壞了，我最後買了一個新的套房卡，我就像這是像所有問題的第一，但我必須隨身攜帶火車卡現在我要去失去它，但像我得到我的揚聲器在手機，我無法使用它。

So I was getting very frustrated obviously as you can tell so I did more research I found out that you can charge your sweet on your phone using the 7 11 ATMs.

是以，我變得非常沮喪，顯然，你可以告訴我，所以我做了更多的研究，我發現你可以使用7 11自動取款機為你的手機充電。

So when I found this out I rushed to 7 11 And it worked you go to 711 put your phone on the charging area and then you can just charge your phone put in your money into the slot and voila phone is charged, we have a way to charge our speakers on our phones but it does take a couple of minutes to actually show up because I freaked out.

是以，當我發現這一點時，我急忙去找711，它起作用了，你去711把你的手機放在充電區，然後你就可以給你的手機充電，把你的錢放進槽裡，瞧，手機充電了，我們有辦法給我們的手機揚聲器充電，但它確實需要幾分鐘時間才能真正出現，因為我嚇壞了。

The charge didn't show up on my phone and I was like this machine just steal my money.

收費沒有顯示在我的手機上，我覺得這臺機器就是在偷我的錢。

So I was freaking out for a little bit but after a couple of minutes it showed up so all good, if you need to charge this week on your phone use the 7 11 80.

所以我嚇了一跳，但幾分鐘後就顯示出來了，所以一切都很好，如果你這周需要在你的手機上充電，請使用7 11 80。

M Hopefully apple does fix this issue because it does kind of suck that you can't charge at the train stations.

希望蘋果能解決這個問題，因為你不能在火車站充電，這確實有點糟糕。

But I feel like it's just because um yeah I've got an international iphone and if you got a Japanese iphone no issues.

但我覺得這只是因為嗯，是的，我有一個國際蘋果手機，如果你有一個日本蘋果手機，就沒有問題。

But I have no intention of getting a Japanese phone number four shinkansen luggage.

但我不打算弄一個日本的電話號碼四新幹線的行李。

So like I mentioned Sophie and I want to go to U.

所以就像我提到的蘇菲和我想去大學。

S.

S.

J.

J.

Which is in Osaka, I'm in Tokyo.

這是在大阪，我是在東京。

So I wanted to take the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka.

所以我想坐子彈頭列車從東京到大阪。

I was looking up some information online and found out there are some new rules.

我在網上查了一些資料，發現有一些新規則。

So this new rule applies to big suitcases.

所以這條新規定適用於大行李箱。

Here's a screen cap I got from the Jr sigh and I'll link everything down below so you guys can check that out for yourself.

這是我從Jr嘆息中得到的螢幕截圖，我將在下面鏈接所有內容，這樣你們就可以自己查看了。

But if you have like one of those small suitcases you don't need to reserve because you can just shut them at the top of the luggage area.

但如果你有像那種小行李箱，你就不需要預訂，因為你可以直接把它們關在行李區的頂部。

But if your suitcases massive, you need to reserve a c in advance prior to the pandemic Many times I've taken the sign consent and I've had like massive suitcases.

但如果你的行李箱龐大，你需要在大流行之前提前預留一個C位，很多時候我採取了簽字同意的方式，我有像龐大的行李箱。

I would put them on the last road.

我想把它們放在最後一條路上。

There's like a little area where you can put like big suitcases in the last row of the shin consent.

在脛骨同意的最後一排，有一個小區域，你可以把像大行李箱一樣的東西放在那裡。

I used to shove all my suitcases there and then just you know sit down, enjoy my journey to wherever I was going.

我曾經把我的所有行李箱塞到那裡，然後就坐下來，享受我的旅程，去我要去的地方。

But now you actually need to book these spots.

但現在你實際上需要預訂這些位置。

You need to book a reserved seat on the shinkansen with an oversized baggage spot.

你需要在新幹線上預訂一個有超大行李位的預定座位。

Now the oversized ticket, it's actually the same price as the reserve seat.

現在的特大號票，其實和預留座位的價格一樣。

You don't have to pay extra for your back.

你不必為你的背部支付額外費用。

You just need to book that seat.

你只需要預訂那個座位。

Not all cars by the way have this oversized baggage area.

順便說一下，並非所有的汽車都有這種超大的行李區。

So you need to check beforehand.

所以你需要事先檢查。

So if you got a JR pass obviously you can write shin consent not for free but like you know that path.

是以，如果你有一張JR通行證，顯然你可以寫下shin同意書，不是免費的，但就像你知道那條路。

Let's see right shin consent.

讓我們看看右岸的同意。

You need to also reserve the seat.

你還需要預訂座位。

So if you have the JR pass, go to the JR office in the station.

是以，如果你有JR通票，就去車站的JR辦公室。

So Tokyo station or soccer station whatever and then you can reserve your seat using your JR pass.

是以，東京站或足球站什麼的，然後你可以使用你的JR通票預訂你的座位。

So it is kind of like a pain that now you have to book so there are options where you can send your luggage to your next hotel.

所以這有點像一種痛苦，現在你必須預訂，所以有一些選項，你可以把你的行李送到你的下一個酒店。

Um Usually your hotel can do this for you.

嗯，通常你的酒店可以為你做這個。

You can just ask the stuff you can also temporarily store your luggage.

你可以只問東西，你也可以暫時存放你的行李。

There are companies that can do that I've seen at train stations where they have like temporary luggage storage.

有一些公司可以做到這一點，我在火車站看到過，他們有類似臨時行李庫的地方。

So yeah, usually just check with your hotel um and I'm sure that they can do something for you if you need help with your luggage number five masks.

所以是的，通常只需與你的酒店檢查嗯，我相信他們可以為你做一些事情，如果你需要幫助你的行李五號面具。

I was living in Sydney and we lifted the mask rules months ago back in March and I also stopped wearing a mask since then because we didn't have to anymore masks is something that is still worn in Japan.

我當時住在雪梨，我們幾個月前在3月份取消了口罩的規定，從那時起我也不再戴口罩了，因為我們不必再戴口罩了，口罩是在日本仍然戴的東西。

So I know if you guys haven't worn masks in a while, it's going to be difficult and it was really difficult for me to, you know, get used to it again because I would always forget as soon as I go out, I'm like, oh, I didn't bring my mask, have to run back home and get my mask again.

所以我知道，如果你們有一段時間沒有戴口罩，這將是困難的，對我來說，你知道，再次適應它真的很困難，因為我總是一出門就忘了，我就說，哦，我沒有帶口罩，必須跑回家再拿口罩。

Um and it was really hard.

嗯，這真的很困難。

So wearing a mask in summer was, yeah, it was hard, but unfortunately because um okay, look, Japan has never enforced mask rules.

所以在夏天戴口罩是，是的，這很難，但不幸的是，因為嗯好吧，看，日本從來沒有執行過口罩規則。

So it's not like a law that you have to wear masks, but when you come to Japan, you will realize that almost everyone is still wearing their masks indoors and outdoors now if you are outdoors, I do see people taking their mask off, if they're not around anyone when you go indoors, there are many place that say that if you want to enter, you must wear a mask, you also have to sanitize and also check your temperature which was something I was not used to because in Australia we didn't really check people's temperatures and stuff when we went into stores, there are different types as well.

是以，這並不像法律規定的那樣，你必須戴口罩，但是當你來到日本，你會發現幾乎每個人在室內和室外都仍然戴著口罩，如果你在室外，我確實看到人們摘下口罩，如果他們不在任何人身邊，當你進入室內。有很多地方說，如果你想進入，你必須戴上口罩，你還必須消毒，還要檢查你的體溫，這是我不習慣的，因為在澳洲，當我們進入商店時，我們並不真正檢查人們的體溫和其他東西，也有不同類型。

Like there's somewhere like you need to um check on your wrists and they check on your head.

就像有的地方你需要嗯檢查你的手腕，他們檢查你的頭。

Sometimes you touch a button to get your temperature checked.

有時你觸摸一個按鈕來檢查你的體溫。

Um, I was very confused at the start but you'll get used to it.

嗯，一開始我很困惑，但你會習慣的。

Um, and look, I know around the world um, rules are different but just keep in mind you are traveling to a different country so just be respectful of their rules.

我知道世界各地的規則是不同的，但請記住，你是在一個不同的國家旅行，所以要尊重他們的規則。

That is the end of today's video.

今天的視頻就到此為止。

I hope that it was helpful and I can't wait to see you guys in Japan if you see me, you know our industries just say hi um, you know, I'm always down to chat to you guys whenever you come up and say hi to me and yeah, I really hope that you guys have a great trip to Japan, it's been so long, I am trying to go out and trying to discover some new places that I can recommend to you guys.
