TUDO que você precisa saber ANTES de ir pro Japão!

This video is long, I know, but believe me, we answered the biggest questions about Japan lol 00:28 - 02:09 Is it possible to travel to Japan without speaking Japanese and still enjoy it?! You don't have to! In big cities, English signage is very helpful, especially on public transportation. Most Japanese people don't speak English, but they are super helpful. The tip is to use a translation app and learn the basics. 02:10 - 03:21 - What is the best month to travel to Japan? The best times are spring (March to May), to see the cherry blossoms (sakura), and autumn (September to November), with the colorful leaves. The weather is perfect! Just try to avoid "Golden Week" (late April/early May), a long weekend that makes everything crowded, which was exactly when we went lol 03:22 - 07:38 - Japanese Etiquette Rules To avoid making any mistakes: Take off your shoes: When entering homes, temples, and some hotels. Use the tray: When paying, place your cash or card on the tray on the counter, not handing it directly to the attendant. Quiet on public transport: Avoid speaking loudly on the train or subway. 07:39 - 08:29 - Do you need a visa in Japan? Since the end of 2023, Brazilians with passports with a chip do not need a visa for tourism of up to 90 days. However, it's worth mentioning that you need to fill out an electronic form at https://www.vjw.digital.go.jp/main/#/... (you can also fill it out in person in Japan, but it's best to arrive with everything already prepared). 08:30 - 10:15 - Which credit cards are accepted in Japan? Do you need to carry cash? Is Nomad better than Wise in Japan? Use both. Cards like Nomad are accepted in large stores and hotels. However, Japan is still a cash-intensive society. Street shops, temples, and smaller restaurants generally only accept yen. Always have cash on hand for everyday use. 10:16 - 10:54 - How does tipping work in Japanese restaurants? It's simple: don't tip. Excellent service is already the norm, and tipping can be seen as awkward. An "Arigatou Gozaimasu" upon leaving is the ideal way to say thank you. 4:35 PM - 10:06 PM - Is shopping in Japan worth it? Best things to buy in Japan Yes, it's definitely worth it! Japan is a shopping paradise for electronics, high-end cosmetics, and clothing from brands like Uniqlo and MUJI. Plus, tourists can shop tax-free, saving the 10% sales tax at many stores. A SUPER important tip is to have a VPN when searching for prices in Brazil. If you search using the internet there, only Japanese prices will appear. We recommend the @KasperskyLabBrasil Premium VPN, which, in addition to protecting your data during your trip, has a VPN for accessing Brazilian content (streaming, stores, etc.), antivirus to keep you safe, a document safe, and a password manager. And look what a great thing, there's a SPECIAL OFFER (for a limited time!): When you purchase Kaspersky Premium, you get FREE ACCESS to VIP lounges at Brazilian airports!

Public transportation is the best in the world: punctual and efficient. To get around cities, use the subway and trains. Buy a rechargeable IC card (Suica or Pasmo) for ease. For long trips, the bullet train (Shinkansen) is the best option. Renting a car is only worth it to explore rural areas. 32:33 - 33:24 Can Brazilians drive in Japan? Unfortunately, no. Brazilian drivers' licenses are not valid in Japan, and you can't drive there. 33:25 - 34:55 What's the best SIM card to use in Japan? Airalo's eSIM (virtual SIM card) is very convenient because you install it before you travel. 📶 Japan Internet Chip Discount: https://ref.airalo.com/VuxX ​​- Using our code: EDUARD3957 - you get $3 off. 34:56 - 39:38 - What is Japanese food like? Is it just sushi? Absolutely not! Japanese cuisine is incredible and varied. Don't forget to try ramen, takoyaki (octopus dumplings), tonkatsu (breaded pork loin), and okonomiyaki (savory pancakes). 39:45 - 43:57 - Do the best hotels in Japan have large rooms? Yes, hotel rooms, especially the more budget-friendly ones, are compact. For tall people, like Edu (1.95m), the standard 195cm bed can be a challenge. Tip: check the room and bed dimensions before booking. 46:32 - 49:20 Is it true that you can't eat and drink outside? More or less. The custom is not to walk around eating. The best option is to buy food, stop somewhere to eat, and then throw away the trash (which can be hard to find). 49:21 - 50:35 What's the best way to get to Mount Fuji? There are many options, and we went by bus; we have a vlog that explains it perfectly! The website to check visibility is this: https://fuji-san.info/en/ 52:00 - 56:44 - How much does it cost to go to Japan? It depends on many factors, but we spent around R$60,000 for two people, without luxuries. The secret is to balance your expenses.
