I don't think the food is that expensive as long as you avoid the tourist-y places. Then again, I hail from New York City.
But still, aside from 1 or 2 exemptions which I was prepared to indulge, all of my meals in Japan have been less than 1500 yen per person (15 dollars. Good ramen is pretty cheap, about 700-800 yen and a beef bowl at Yoshinoya costs me maybe like 500 yen? Which is almost unheard of for fast food prices in the United States.
Also, there's no tip!

1. Whaaaaat? At 9: 10 one of your kids is effortlessly eating his food with chopsticks when I've been trying for so long and failed each time?
2. At 10: 42 rental locker stores while you 're sightseeing or shopping? Definitely each single of those would get broken into if they were installed anywhere in Italy.
3. Why have 100 viewers given the thumb down to this video made by a such friendly-looking man?

I noticed the quiet on trains also. Music was playing very softly on the train, and if anyone would have talked you wouldn't have heard the music. That is how quiet. And yes, the cost, and yes, the tiny sizes of the hotel rooms. And yes, the unreal cleanliness everywhere, and yes, computerized toilets. Weird. But overall I was hugely impressed by the culture. So polite, so friendly. There is an underbelly however of Japan. Everyone knows. Not perfect.

Another culture shock and something people should know is that there is like no trash cans anywhere in public. It is extremely hard to find one, which is crazy considering how clean the city is. But it's definitely something to keep in mind in case you decide to buy a drink or a snack. You're gonna be carrying the trash for hours before you find a trash can lol

In London it's an unwritten rule that you don't make eye contact on the tube. You'll find it's quiet on the tube a lot but there will always be that one group on the night tube (Friday and Saturday's the tube is 24 hour) that are always loud groups but we like to keep to ourselves. In Japan I guess they would want you dead: P

I lived in Japan for 2 years, and in my view, you made good points and gave a lot of good advice. Id like to add one thing, your debit card will probably work at the Japan Post ATMs.
Also, Tokyo is cheaper than a lot of big cities, and can be done cheaper than a lot of European and North American big cities.

I'm in Tokyo right now! It's an outstanding city. The thing that shocks me the most is the peacefulness of the city, despite the millions of people. Especially in the public transport. Also, when there's a lot of people on the streets, noone bumps you. Everyone walks very consciously, and mind the others.

I have been trying to teach myself Japanese. I would like to visit Japan some day( The 2020 Olympics would be cool. However, I had recently heard of the Hidden Christans and there are some these areas on the World Heritage Sites. Could you do a show on World Heritage Sites. Maybe?
