  • And then at the last minute, you realize, Oh, I didn't get any souvenirs for anyone.

  • I'm at the airport.

  • Where should they eat all these general tips that I just want to share with you guys in this video?

  • I've already provided so many other tips.

  • Like what you should do when you arrive in Japan?

  • Definitely check out that video.

  • But I figured I might as well just wrap it up in one night's blind and show you guys what to do before you leave Japan.

  • But before I continue, if you guys want to see what I'm doing on the daily, then definitely check out my INSTAGRAM account.

  • And if you want help support the channel, then definitely check out the samurai.

  • Merge.

  • All right, let's do this.

  • Now.

  • This step is for those of you who have early morning flights, so a lot of the times your hotel will force you to check out by 10 11 or 12 o'clock in the morning.

  • One thing you can do is grind it out which I've done plenty of times.

  • But one option you can take is to actually go to an onsen in Tokyo instead of spending your last day in Tokyo trying to get around with all that luggage.

  • Why don't you just go to a Japanese Own said, in fact, that you can go toe to toe Johnson, who offered travel packages, which includes the entrance fee as well as shuttle bus transfer plus to let you store your bags there while you're relaxing all day long.

  • Now safe.

  • You're flying out of Haneda.

  • You can check into the Johnson at 11 a.m. in the morning and check out 5 a.m. the next day, and the earliest shuttle bus will get to the airport at 4:20 a.m. And the last one will get you to the airport about 5 40 Now, If you're flying out of Narita Airport, you can get a discount tickets, which is cheaper than the regular entrance past.

  • But you have to also pay for the shuttle bus separately.

  • And for Narita, you can check in after three PM and stay until the next day.

  • Up until 6 a.m. I don't know It just sounds like a good idea to hang out at that once and all day before your flight.

  • All right, so let's talk about returning your icy card either your possible your silica or whoever else you got it from.

  • So a lot of people when they're here in Japan, they get a nice e card.

  • But when you're returning home, you can actually cash those back in for 500 yen.

  • So if you want to save a little bit money, then here's the spots where to do it.

  • First of all, if you have a J R seleka card, you're in luck.

  • You can get a refund at any Jr station with a ticket office, for example, at Narita Airport Terminal to it's just behind the nutty to express counter.

  • If you have any money remaining on the card, you'll be roof on that balance plus 500 yen for the card, but minus a 220 processing fee.

  • Now, if you got a possible card, you can return it at any Non Jr station like that KayHian or Casey Lines?

  • Yep, it's that simple.

  • On to the next stop, this one.

  • I'm kind of excited to share with you guys because I recently discovered it.

  • It's a service called pocket Change, and if you're anything like me and you visited country, you end up with a lot of loose change.

  • In fact, if you ever come to Japan, you know that it's a very much a cash based society.

  • So you end up with even more change.

  • And what's even pretty sweet is that you can take only like a few yen, and you can convert it into usable funds back at home, which a lot of standard of money exchanges won't accept.

  • It's really the perfect solution.

  • Let me show you how it works.

  • So recently discovered this green magical machine that instantly changes bills and coins of various currencies into electronic money or vouchers that you can use in your home country blown away.

  • How awesome and easy to use it is.

  • First, you choose the country where you want your yet to be converted into vouchers.

  • If your country isn't listed right away, you can hit the more button for more currencies.

  • Then, based on your selected currency, you can convert your yen, for example, in the U.

  • S.

  • Convert to reward links with shops like Amazon or simply get a voucher for spots like target or dominance.

  • I'm a tar Jay fan, so let's go with that.

  • And so your currency, including coins machine, counts it up.

  • Then you press, confirm and zippity Zoo.

  • You get a receipt for your voucher, and it's as easy as that look.

  • It even exchanges multiple currencies and allows you to convert foreign currencies to Japanese yen for things like I see cards.

  • In fact, this is one way you can charge your plasma card or silica cart with foreign currency.

  • And for those of you who have a kind heart, you can even donate the money to various charities like UNICEF.

  • So this machine is located at Narita Airport at Terminal one, just behind the first floor visitor center.

  • But pocket change has machines located at multiple airports throughout Japan as well a spots in a city like Don Quixote and shit.

  • Julia, my home spot.

  • Don't worry.

  • I'll leave a Lincoln this reference so you can find the closest one to you when you're visiting Japan.

  • Now you don't need to bring back that useless change home.

  • So now my favorite food spots.

  • Narita and Haneda Airport have quite a few decent restaurants to choose from.

  • But I want to take you to one of my favorite spots in case you can't make a decision when I leave from Narita and I want to get my Roman fix on.

  • I hate towards Tomita at Terminal One.

  • I mean, when's the next time you'll be able to get a doe full of Roman again?

  • They humanely have content meant, But if you're looking for something that go, they also have Mentos and sandwiches.

  • Oh, and for my vegetarian and vegan fans, don't worry.

  • There's options at each airport.

  • Just look for the signs.

  • Since we did Rahman already, let me show you something little bit different.

  • So this spot is a traditional type of Japanese restaurant called Susan and located in the international terminal.

  • The store serves rice made with a traditional Japanese pot.

  • Oh, comma and it goes of these beautiful little dishes.

  • So I really wanted to take you guys to the ramen shop, set the guy up because you just love Rahman.

  • It's pretty dope if you want to try it.

  • Three different types of Roman.

  • Oh, and before you continue on, I wanted to mention that I've already done a video on vending machines on an airport has a pretty cool one.

  • So if you want to see that, then check out that video.

  • I'll leave a Lincoln description.

  • All right, now, let's talk about luggage now.

  • After visiting Japan, you may have collected a few items here in there, and you might have more luggage than you expected.

  • This tip is specifically for you.

  • First of all, there's a delivery service that will pick up your luggage from your hotel and deliver it directly to the airport, which is super convenient for those of you who have a lot of luggage, usually have to send it out 2 to 3 days in advance, and you can leave it at the airport for up to one week before your departure day.

  • There's quite a few different service is, but don't worry.

  • I'll make sure to leave a link of all of these different service is as well as all of the other locations we've visited.

  • Oh yeah, there's another cool service for those of you who are traveling from hotel to hotel in Japan delivery.

  • Supers will actually come and pick up your luggage and deliver it to the next hotel, which makes it super simple to travel.

  • All right, so now let's talk about souvenirs.

  • Everyone knows that coming to the airport, there's a lot of places to get souvenirs to bring back home.

  • The thing is, airports are usually a little bit more expensive than if you were to get the souvenirs in the city.

  • So I wanted to show you guys my top spots outside of the airport, get some souvenirs.

  • The quick and easy answer is to get something at the airport, but we all know you're gonna have to pay a premium for it, and you have a limited selection.

  • So let me quickly break down the two easiest option, especially when you're in a time pinch.

  • The key here is to go to a shop that sells everything under the rising sun.

  • First, we have donkey all day, which more than carries its weight in random goods, including those elusive kid cats and random souvenirs.

  • Next, look at all these options.

  • The second option is, believe it or not.

  • An electronic store, Big camera.

  • In addition to electronics it has cosmetic products, toys for the young ones.

  • I choose you, Pikachu and even that Japanese go Jews sake as well as Japanese whiskeys.

  • Also something to note these days, Japanese Ruskies have been a hot item at the airport duty free, so sometimes they don't have any stock.

  • So just be careful.

  • And this one is a little tip between you and me.

  • What a lot of people don't know is that big camera provides next day airport delivery.

  • So instead of carrying all your souvenirs back to the hotel, you can just have it delivered to the airport.

  • My kind of service.

  • So those are my spots in the city.

  • But I know sometimes you guys don't have enough time, so let visually around the airport itself in.

  • If you're not Ethan and you have so more time to kill just by the restaurant section there's a whole entire shopping mall area.

  • You have ABC Mark, which is like a shoe store.

  • And then right here you have Well, that's a B C.

  • Might as well go back there.

  • There's just just actually just so much shopping to do and check out this list if you're looking for a kimono or you Cotto are just something that's like handcraft made in Japan right before you leave.

  • He didn't have enough time.

  • Then this is the spot.

  • It's called Yamato Craft Gallery because it is a smaller store in the airport, they don't have a huge variety, but in the selection that they do have this stuff is pretty cute.

  • Well, is Michael was telling the other cute.

  • So I have to agree with her.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Moody says you caught this in a summer as well.
