  1. Still kind of funny that you have to scan a QR or IC card to then print out a paper ticket. Why can't the system just give you ticket directly? ๐Ÿ˜€

  2. I was quite shocked when I seen the guy in the vintage coffee shop with a cigarette in his mouth and then
    I remembered that you're in Japan , not the UK , lol๐Ÿ˜‚

  5. Hi Jay & Karolina..great video guys. Such a nice change of pace from the usual touristy spot of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Nagoya it's in my bucket list for my future Japan trip for a long time, so i'm glad you guys came to visit. Hopefully you visit other underrated cities in Japan such as Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Sendai, Shizuoka, Oita, etc. in your future vlogs. Greetings from Indonesia ๐Ÿ˜

  6. No way. Our timelines were finally coincided, We just left Japan! Were there from April 19th until the 23rd.
    Would of loved to have a meet up if I had known.

    Safe travels

  7. Hello IC cards can be used at ticket gates without any problems, even when touched while still inside a leather case or wallet. There's no need to take them out and put them back in each time.ใ€€From Japan

  8. I highly recommend trying a self-heating bento on the Shinkansen; it's fun to see it heat up instantly just by pulling a string. That said, Japanese bento are specially crafted to taste delicious even when cold, so you really can't go wrong either way!

  9. You guys would be the perfect travel partners for his.. You make travel so effortless. How you use mobile apps and which ones truly work. We are in love with Japan โคโค and we are in love with you guys . Sending you all much โคโค from Jim and Harriet

  10. We are planning for Japan and hoping to get to Japanese Grand Prix (near Nagoya). Love all your videos (wouldn't it be wonderful if UK trains ran on time…one can but dream๐Ÿ˜…)

  11. Another really useful video – particularly at 1:53 re the smart ex and suica card link up. The Smart Ex app can't be downloaded in the UK but I've got an account set up on the Web version and am hoping to buy my Shinkansen tickets in June and link to my mobile suica card. Hope this sounds feasible? Many thanks, once again – loving Japan through your vlogs already! ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ˜Š
