Came back from my Japan trip, want to share my experience. 1. All my bookings were from Klook, super convenient and easy. I booked the Hello Kitty train from Klook( Haruka Express). I also bought an ICOCA card at Kansai airport. If you have made any train bookings from Klook then get your physical tickets from the JR office (Shinkansen: from Osaka to Tokyo) 2. Buy JR Kansai Hiroshima pass if you are planning to go to Hiroshima (I was at Osaka) so it’s was totally worth it. I used it on the Shinkansen as well as could use to go on the ferry to Miyajima. It was also useful for the sightseeing bus at Hiroshima. I could use this pass for internal subways in Osaka. 3. Bought a 72 hr subway pass in Osaka and it was worth it. 4. The ICOCA card was super easy to use and could tap in and out at JR stations as well as any convenient stores. 5. Carry a coin pouch or buy one as you will have lots of coins if you use cash, that’s why the ICOCA card worked best for me. 6. I mostly ate at the convenient stores, 7 eleven being my favourite. Don’t miss their soufflé pudding and crème brule. 7. I used the Kansai pass to travel to Kyoto and Nara. It was so worth the money. Don’t buy the JR pass it’s too expensive. You have to check the subway lines to see how you can connect from various stations. 8. I enjoyed the vibes of Universal Studios but if you have been to other countries, you can avoid as everything is in Japanese language. Since it was my first time I enjoyed. The Super Nintendo was a total waste of time, if you are an adult you can skip it completely.9. Tokyo subway pass too was super convenient. I was staying at Ueno so for me it was the Hibiya and Ginza line and then change for other subway lines for different places. Ask the officer at the gate, he will guide you well. Don’t miss the above head directions or else you can be on the wrong track.10. I booked my Mt Fuji trip too from Klook and it was really nice. 11. I did Disneyland and Disneysea on one day as I was short of time. Disneyland was fun and I enjoyed all the rides and attractions. I went to Disneysea in the evening as I understood from most of the posts that getting access to Fantasy spring wasn’t so easy. I enjoyed the water show and fireworks in the evening. 12. I used the Hotel services from Osaka to transfer my luggage to Tokyo and it had reached before I did. I booked luggage transfer from Klook to send my luggage to the airport and wasn’t disappointed as the luggage had reached before I did. My flight was at 22:55 so I could explore the whole day and reached the airport at 20:00 (8 pm). Japan trains are on time so you can be rest assured and enjoy a stress free day. 13. Go to Donki for your major shopping, it’s worth the experience and price.14. I bought an unlimited data eSIM which worked so well for me everywhere. I could make video call, upload pictures. It was super easy. Got that too from Klook. I totally loved the country, the culture and the people were super helpful though language was a major barrier. Please do use Google translators and take the subway maps if you are planning to use one. It’s very helpful. Just an add on reminder: you need proper footwear as you have to really walk a lot. - via fb

Our chance in a life time trip is now over but I wanted share some knowledge with anyone thinking about traveling to Japan in the near future.

Purchasing a Japan Rail Pass was a very cost effective way of getting around Japan. It allows access to the bullet trains( Shinkansen ) and many local trains for one flat price because it's more expensive if you purchase individual tickets to individual destinations when you're there. I went with a JR West Rail pass to save money since we were only traveling to Tokyo and West of there.

The JapanTravel app for the smartphones is an effective way to plan your train journey and see the current status of trains. We used it to travel to Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo.

We flew to Chitose airport in Hokkaido from Tokyo and chartered a White Liner bus to Niseko where our friends picked us up. In winter, it's crucial that you allow at least a four hour buffer for the bus to go through the mountian passes because weather can delay the 2.5 hour journey.

Any hotels were booked using the Booking app. Next time I might stay in Hostels to save more money like I did 11 years ago.

I have a smart phone with an eSIM so I went with the company Ubigi to buy a 50gb data plan, no voice, that expires in 1 month. We were watching Youtube videos so you may only need a 25gb package. Be aware that the price is in $USD.

The Customs App is filled out ahead of time per passenger and it contains passport information, declarations and places you're staying at. Customs will check the resultant QR codes when you land. You will also need to show customs the QR code that shows proof of three vaccinations.

GoogleTranslate was invaluable in deciphering script characters on grocery products using camera mode as well as communicating with people using a microphone or typing text. Lifesaver!

The three phrases I learned as a Gaijin( foreigner ) that came in handy:

Sumimasen - Excuse me

Arigatōgozaimasu - Thank you

Hhayo gozaimasu - Good morning ( which I accidentally used at all times of the day )

Oh! Another great thing about not having any checkin baggage is that it made it easier to hop on a different plane when we missed our connection flight.

I would espeically like to thank our host family for showing us around the local area and tolerating our aloof and messy nature.
