17 things I WISH I knew BEFORE visiting JAPAN in 2024 🇯🇵

Heading there in a week so this is perfect timing! Appreaciate the content as always Joel

Joel I love you videos. I'm going on a travel adventure with my girlfriend in February next year and your videos have been invaluable. The one thing that I think presumably everyone and myself personally would love to know is how you manage to fund your trips. Would love to see a video on that.

not a video you make disappoints! use your videos for every travel trip and you truly break things down in such an easy, positive, thorough way, thank you!

Amazing information thank you, we are planning to go for 2 months to Japan in April 2024. We are a little apprehensive as we are not very good in finding our way around London, lol.First we are going to Vietnam in December and have watched all your videos about Vietnam, which are so helpful. Do you think we could wait until we get to Japan before we book ie Tea ceremony, Sumo wrestling, Onsens, Mount Fuji was , etc...

Great content guys 😊

Love your videos man.

歩きながら食べても大丈夫です。公共交通機関の中でも満員電車でヘービーなディナーとかでなければ問題ありません。安心してください。

We travel in a few weeks from UK and your vids have been reqlly helpful

I'm from Brazil but live in the UK I would love you to visit Brazil but don't just go to Rio, travel around the country you will love it ❤

It's very interesting! Thanks (^^) As a Japanese, I always wondered who started these two misunderstanding, which most of Westers/Americans totally misunderstand. It's .about tipping and slurping. Tipping is not considered rude, In the first place, we don't have tipping custom, some don't know what's going on or how to deal with it. And even if some notice what you do is tip, they will be confused it's OK to take it, or it is better to return it. However if you are able to speak some Japanese and explain you(d like to tip to show your gratitude, maybe some Japanese will take it, Slurping is not considered polite nor rude. Simply if you slurp noodles, more broth will come together when noodles enter your mouth and it makes noodle tastes better, that's it. Then for Japanese, it's just natural to slurp noodles. However, people don't care, even if you don't slurp. Just do what you want. Anyway, please come to Japan, again!

Thank you for sharing. Excellent

Hey Joel, when is your next trip and where to? Looking forward to watching it!

You are such a polite person! I really respect you. I live in Tokyo and always see people from overseas, sometimes Japanese, break rules in public. However you seem to respect and follow Japanese rules. And you also told us about some rules unique to Japan on this video. I thank you as a Japanese. また日本に来てくださいね！

ここまで詳しく調べてから日本に来てくれる事に感謝 食べ歩きはルール違反じゃないよ でも下品だからあまりやらない方がいい 善き旅を✈️

Lot of youtubers say incorrectly about tipping or slurping in Japan particularly or the Sinospheric world. Firstly, tipping is not rude, just strange because we have never been exposed to that. People simply don’t know how to react. Secondly, slurping isn’t complimentary at all ! Just how humanly we easterners eat noodles for centuries ! Never in my entire life heard from a single person around me in Japan that slurping is a compliment or gratitude. People in the muslim world eat with their hands, licking fingers are showing complimentary? Please limit your imagination n stop copying passing misunderstandings of any culture from one YouTuber to another.

Great job Joel . Guys like you who put out these informative, educational videos help us to become a better traveler .

実際チップを渡されて失礼だと感じる日本人はいないと思いますよ😊 ただ日本はチップが不要な社会であり、従業員は利用料金以外受け取ってはいけないと決まりを設けていることもあるため大半は断られるでしょう😅

WHY DO YOU KEEP SKIPPING KOREA?!?!

Did you ever contact CEO of Testosterone? Would be amazing to see you guys in the same video... because you guys are very similar.
