Thanks again for another great Japan video! But when you were travelling to NRT I was screaming Keisei Skyliner and Suica to my screen haha. You could have saved yourself a lot of hassle because travelling in/around Tokyo is not that hard once you get to know the whole system. And besides the transit, Japan is still a very cash-oriented country.
Im sure you will be better prepared for stuff like this the next time you go to Japan (and given how much you enjoyed it, Im pretty sure you will return sooner rather than later: )

For once I have experience of Noel's journey. Flew Zip Air from Singapore to Tokyo earler this year on an overnight flight k(albeit in economy - I didnt feel the extra cost of the business class ticket was worth it) and
Alsok despite getting the fast train from Narita into Tokyo (after doing some research, on way back - I forgot what I did on the journey from the airport and ended up getting the same 2 hour train Noel did (although I'd left to the airport about 4 hours before my flight so I still had plenty of time)

Haha. As I think I posted on your last video, Japan isn't as technologically advanced as many think!
I work in hotel tech, and the Japanese hospitality sector is still stuck in the early 2000's.
The rest of the world has moved on and Japan has got stuck!
And the check in desk agent was just lovely! What a fun attitude she seemed to have

Its so easy to navigate through japan with public transport! Not well prepared noel
You need to get your pasmo card on your phone (wallet) and you scan everywhere, no need to withdraw money, you can just charge it with your phone.
As for the ride to NRT, there is the airport express train which takes you straight to the airport in no time

I adore Noel's travel videos but sometimes, sometimes, he comes across as just exceedingly provincial. No one in Tokyo would really take the Tokyo Subway from downtown Tokyo to Narita Airport. As many others have mentioned, there is a great express train from Tokyo Station that is quite luxurious. Ditto the Keisei line from Ueno station.

Noel's conversation with tickets guy, Noel: Hi! Guy: Hai Noel: Hi! Guy: Hai. Living here for 7 years I forget how daunting it can be the first couple days, but once you get into the rhythm and learn the ebb and flow of the country, easy peezy. Yens? Haha, Noel I hope you come back often and really spend some time here.

24. 00 - if youve got your camera set to NTSC (American 60hz electric) you should get less flicker generally internationally. If youre in PAL (UK 50hz electric) this will only match British frequencies for mains electric. Problem is that everywhere has mixtures of LED-driven lighting which can run at any old frequency.

Why wouldnt you take the JR Narita Express? Its only 60 minutes (not 2+ hours) and $20.
And how do you not have a Priority Pass membership? There are 7 Priority Pass lounges at NRT, 5 of which are in the same terminal as ZipAir. No reason to eat at McDonalds.
Seriously why wouldnt you include these options?

This seat appears to be the same as the one you get on KLMs Boeing 787-10 or. Only difference seems to be the entertainment system. At that price point it seems like a good alternative to the legacy carriers and other lowcost carriers. Unfortunately such an airline will not operate in Europe I suppose.

I'm surprised there was no pillow available for sale or in that amenity kit. People (ok, I) like different levels of softness in their pillows and headrests when they sleep and would no doubt be willing to invest a few dollars in a small pillow to add to their comfort as they seek a good night's sleep.

Actually the UA 73s that you saw was based out of the GUM hub. And although that 73 aircraft may serve the island hopper, it wouldnt be via NRT.
Not that it matters much to yall but it seems to be the Fad to forget that GUM is the hub and not HNL big deal- moving on.

I've flown into Bangkok more times than I can remember into both of their international airports. Only once did the driver not run the meter and he only wanted 500 baht ($14AUD) instead of $300 baht for the 26km trip into the city. I'd highly recommend the local airport cabs.

The thing that I think really surprises a lot of visitors to Japan is how cash-dependent the country is, despite being known worldwide for their innovative and advanced technology. That's probably why you were mildly annoyed that the ticket machines only accepted cash.

Hey Noel. Not sure anyones said this before but your selfie stick coverage makes the wife and I nauseous due to the shaking. I know youve done it less on this video than others but you do work better with a steady camera and both hands free to point.

Next time in Japan, you can load money to a travel card (Suica) in the Apple wallet, which accepts your regular credit card and saves you the hassle of trying to find an atm on paying public transport in Japan. Suica works in most parts of Japan.

For me, Japanese staff and crew come across as the most cheerful and helpful compared to anywhere else in the world. My worse experience was Morocco. I got shouted at for no reason at all while waiting in the queue for passport control.

3: 15 I would say most Japanese restaurants and businesses only take cash. I'm surprised you managed to hold out for so long without getting any. Were you just eating/shopping from franchise restaurants and commercial stores?

Im not sure what was the biggest shock, the great value and excellent offering from Zippair or the 5066 unread emails in your inbox 22: 12. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night with that many emails unread!
