JAPAN HAS CHANGED | 10 New Things to Know Before Traveling to Japan 2024 | Travel Update August 2024
Japan is experiencing a surge in popularity among foreign tourists. In June 2024, the number of visitors reached 3.13 million, an 8.9% increase from the previous year, marking the fourth consecutive month with over 3 million visitors—a record high. This influx of tourists has brought various changes to Japan that you need to know about, both positive and negative, before you travel.

In this video, I’ve compiled the top 10 updates you need to know. By watching, you’ll ensure your trip to Japan is smoother, more comfortable, and even more enjoyable. So stay tuned till the end!

Toshi-san, are you okay? We heard about the earthquake this morning!!! Were you affected? We hope you are safe! 🙏🏼
Excuse whats better?
Take shinkansen to travel to hiroshima to haneda tokyo or take a flight?
And how I get to the airport Im in Daiwan hotel hiroshima. Thank U
Hi Toshi, I heard about the news on Japan earthquake and possibility of a "megaquake" happening. Is it still safe to visit Osaka/Kyoto/Tokyo region?
Saya dari Indonesia.
Juli 2024 saya liburan ke jepang. Shibuya sangat tidak nyaman. Sangat penuh. Pusing.
Hanya beberapa menit saya memutuskan untuk kembali ke shin urayasu.
Saya menikmati pemandangan tokyo dari lantai tertinggi di kamar hotel saya.
Tenang rasa nya.
Oktober 2024 saya dan keluarga memutuskan untuk mengunjungi sapporo. Menikmati musim gugur yang tidak ada di negara saya.
Saya ke sapporo di tahun 2019 Oktober.
Saya senang ke jepang karena bersih, aman, makanan enak, transportasi mudah.
Saya tidak mengunjungi tempat tempat yang terlalu ramai seperti osaka; kyoto.
Banyak tempat selain osaka, kyoto yg bisa dikunjungi.
Saya mengunjungi pameran dinosaurs di yokohama.
Thank you for your videos, Toshi-san!😊😊😊
Much appreciated for the regular updates for visitors planning to come to Japan. Warm greetings from Singapore.
Still got 55000円 from my last Trip to Kansai left. Went with 100.000円. No need to get that much with the exchange rate now (visiting in November 2024). Visited everything, ate good and bought a lot of souvenirs. Just avoid tourist traps and you are good to go.
hello, i have plan go to japan at september mid to end, is it silver week? or is it good for travel? or better at early oct? thankyou
Thank you so much for your help! I will come to Japan in October.
Greetings from Italy!
Toshi-さん,I land wednesday! I will be looking for you!!
1000rs = 1,746.30yen
I was able to buy a Manaka card in Germany. Is it as useful as Suica?
Thank you for this kind of update. I did not get a Suica card when I visited in November. It's good to know it's now available.
thanks tosh-san very useful
Can you get e-cards for Suica and Passmo instead of physical card?
😁👍
Take care🤔🙄
shave that ridiculous semi beard
動画どうもありがとうございました。たくさん新しい情報を知らせてくださってありがとうございました。わたしは5月末から先月まで日本にいて、とても楽しかったです。としさんの前の動画の情報もとても便利でした。（とくに、スカム、詐欺に騙されないように気をつけました。お客引きを無視しました。お酒あまり飲まないのわたしにとって多分かんたんかもしれないけど）。日本にいる間毎日の生活費を国から持って行った現金で支払うことができました、十分でした。質問があります。1万円、5千円と1千円の札が7月3日から新しくなったと知っていますが、5月に出発する前実家の銀行で買った円札はいつまでお使いできますか。来年もしまた東京へ行ったらまた使えますか。ありがとうございます。円安が終わったら、多分まだ使ってない現金を地元の銀行でユーロにしてもらったほうがいいでしょうかと思っています。来年日本へ行くときその現金お使いできませんならもったいないので
The bus route from Osaka, where can I buy a ticket for that?
Thank you Toshi kun for this content. I subscribed.
Thanks for clear concise instructions to enjoy Japan I can see you are passionate about your country and that is amazing!
I am planning to go in 2026, the yen will be soooo expensive
Thank you for this update. I have a Suica card from my past visit in 2017. I'm planning to visit japan in october 2024. Can i still use the card?
hello i am taking some high school student to japan in April and i would like to know if you have any suggestions on places of interest
Any advice on the recent advisory regarding the megaquake? Got a trip in September
I’m going to Japan in March ❤❤❤thanks for all the info ❤
I just discovered your channel. You're awesome! Keep up the good work!
Sounds like milk the tourists!!!! Japan is great but 15 years ago was better I say!!!
I plan to visit Hokkaido next year, especially Sapporo and surrounding cities..I have a question,i want to see at least one football game of Sapporo's during my stay there..Is it easy to get a ticket and is there any regulation that i should follow(like what you can bring in the stadium etc)
8:07 is that clip from a corn video?
Hi I need your help 🙏
Me my husband and teenager daughter are going to Japan next
We are planning to visit Osaka, kyoto, Nara & Kobe but I am confused where to go first since we will be landing in kansai international airport on August 23 at 9in the evening .
Can you please give me suggestions where to go first.
I would appreciate if you could give me itinerary for our trip 7 days vacation in Japan 😊
Im going at the end of the month, i dont think the yen would get that much stronger then the usd?
Shit love weak yen
Im glad that Japan is taking care of their land and don’t let tourists misbehave. It’s sad for those who act right but it’s necessary. By boyfriend and I are visiting next year and will travel around Japan with a bicycle for about 1,5 month. I’m excited to experience Japan outside of Tokyo,Kyoto and Osaka🎉
Toshi, great videos! Congrats! Is there a video talking about buying Shinkansen tickets? If you have, let me know. And if not, which website can I purchase in advance or reserve?
I have Suica from my last time to Japan about 7 year ago. Can I still use that? Thank you
Lots of typhoons instead of regular rainy season 😅
The prohibited drinks are only for alcoholic drink or any drink?
