Hello friends I hope you’re well today 2024 is just on the corner and there’ll be lots of new things opening in 2024 in Japan so in this video I’d like to go over what will be new in 2024 in Tokyo and in Japan first let’s start from something in general that is affecting

Almost all of you for travelers the first one will be about visit Japan web Japan is expecting 33 million travelers to Japan in 2024 and Airport congestion is becoming a major issues Vis Japan web is considering making it to even more smoother right now usually you have to

Scan your code twice but it will be changing to only once so in that case you don’t have to scan your code at custom so it will be even smoother so if you travel in Japan 2024 you might want to make sure to fil the VIS Japan well

Before you fly to Japan and also something related to duty free is going to change in Japan too right now Japan has a system that you can pay the price before the tax at the stores at the department stores drug stores and this is a littleit different from other

Countries in many countries you get to refund for the tax at the airport when you leave so Japan is going to change to that system too this is because there are some Travelers who are like a professional Shoppers that purchase things is before tax price and sell everything before they leave the country

And related to money there are big changes happening in 2024 in Japan is there will be a new Japanese cash current a, 5,000 and 10,000 Yen bills will change to the new bills if you have the current Japanese Yen bills no worries you can still use it actually

Even from the previous one or decades ago builds you can still use in Japan but so there will be lots of changes in bending machines Comin store machines there need to be lots of changes so this is going to be happening in early summer so and if you come here after that you

Might see new Japanese notes now let’s see what will be opening in 2024 in Japan on February team Lael borderless is going to open in aab h project in central Tokyo near Tokyo Tower team borderless is kind of the museum digital Museum facility that used to be in odiva

In Tokyo and this closed a few years ago but it’s coming back to Central Tokyo right now they also have Team love planets in toyot Tokyo and that is going to stay open for a while but there will be two team facilities in Tokyo after February it will open on February 9th on

Friday and the ticket will be on sale on January 16th since 2024 aab Hills recently opened in November and it has a three observatories Flor this is a free Observatory on 30 third floor sky and on February 1 near team love planet in Toyota there will be a new Hot Springs facility called

Manu Manu is another location like in Yokohama and they bring the natural Hot Springs from ugaa hot spring in kanaga prefecture and you can enjoy the real natural hot springs in different locations and this one will be in Tokyo bay so you can see the scenery of the

Tokyo bay and into the real hot springs this is not a hotel and this is just a hot spring facility but there will be a room that you you can stay until the next morning so in case you want some place to stay after you check out your

Hotel until your flight or in case you want to enjoy the rainy days it might be actually really good idea to stay there I’m going to visit after it open and I don’t think I can film it but I’d like to report in some monthly update

Later and next to that facility owned by the same company there will be a new shopping street called Sak B this is kind of the area connecting the toyot fish market to the hot springs so it will be a probably a new popular spot to visit for foring tourist too and this

Is going to be kind of theme of the Edo period which is the old time of the Tokyo and you can enjoy different shops and restaurants so it will be a facility that you can enjoy the old times of atmosphere of Tokyo so there used to be

One hot springs in oiva before called o on and and that is gone so now this will be a finally Park of kind of the old style hot spring facility in Tokyo bay and when it come to the Oda there will be a new facility called immersive for

Tokyo this is uh after the shopping mall called Venus for and this is an indoor facility that you can enjoy the different experience like uh how do you say kind of mysterious stories you can enter the story and enjoy and kind of with your kind of experience so I don’t know how

It’s going to be kind of is it going to be only Japanese or it’s going to be also in English I’m at this point I’m still not sure what kind of facility it will be is it going to be fun for international tourist too but with this

Number of the all the tourists coming from other countries I’m sure they’re considering International tourist too so once I know I’d like to update about that too in the same March there will be a new area on the jibu park in NAA this chiber park near NOA has been opening

The areas little by little and finally the last area the valley of wit is going to open in March and this Valley of witch’s area is consisting of the gii movie called House Moving Castle and K delivery you can even purchase bread from the K Del them Bakery in the same

Month in March there will be a new area in the Super Nintendo World in Universal Studio Japan 2 it will be called Donkey Kong area it will be a main roller coaster them is Donkey Kong and there’ll be a shops and probably some place to eat related to the same theme so there

Are no clear data about that so all of these new opening theme paret should be coming soon and on March 16th gek shansen currently connecting Tokyo to kanazawa in iska prefecture is going to extend to tsuruga city tsuga is about one from Kyoto so now you can go further

From Tokyo to hokiku area but that means also there’s a direct train from kyotto to kazawa as of March 16th you have to change once at station on Spring 2024 there will be a new shopping center called harak in the corner of the jingum my traffic right in

Harajuku and this will be very interesting facility that will be kind of like a new community and there will be 20 shops for food court and there will be even public bath house so now you can enjoy the traditional Japanese style Bath House in the center of

Harajuku and and as this harak opens the another shopping center on the other side of the street called toky pla it’s going to change the name to okado so it will be okado and harak and kado means a corner and omo and Hara is just taking

From Sando and Harajuku I went to see it but it looks like there’s a rooftop garden and they also say there will be a food court with 20 different places to eat kind of shops to eat it so it will be a very interesting new spot in

Harajuku area and on June 6 2024 the new area in Tokyo Disney C is going to open called Fantasy Springs Tokyo Disneyland recently opened the attraction for the Beauty and the Beast but this will be in the Disney sea and not Disneyland and Fantasy Springs hotel is

Also going to open and I can imagine it should be super popular spot and the reservation for the Disney Fantasy Springs Hotel will start on February 8th and accordingly little by little but as for the vacation packages including the hotel and the entry to the Fantasy

Spring area it will be on sale in mid January 2024 I’m sure it’ll be very expensive but if you like Disney and if you have a budget maybe it’s better to take the vacation package and that mon K uni Canyon route will open so alen route is a popular

Destination that you can across Japan’s northern Al with buses cable cars and roadways right now the route is connecting straight from City in Nagano to Tama in Toyama but and there also called a popular destination called KOB gge which is known for the to train right now

There’s no access from this C go to the alen route and it’s not connected you have to go around to the toy once but after this opening of KOB uni Canyon route you can go through from KOB gge to the KOB Dam of the alen rout so there

Will be a new Choice when you visit the alpen route and I’m sure it will be a very popular new sseeing spot on July 26 new development called Saka stage in Shia is going to complete and they’re going to have a Opening Ceremony this development is located in

The southwest of Shia station and it’s a bit have distance from the scramble Crossing of Shia when you visit Shia most people go to the northern side of the station because that’s where the department stores and famous scr Crossings are so South Side was kind of

The difficult to get around it was a capital freeway train lines and it was kind of the blocked but it’s right now already they have a new pedestrian deck and it got so much easier to get that stations so this s stage itself is not a big shopping center or something but uh

It should have some shops and they’re going to open new hotel High house should be a Tokyo so for the view of The Travelers it might be not a big difference but uh for people who go to CIA often it’s got so much easier to go around the station so there a scramber

Square and Shia stream which is uh Google Japan’s headquarter and Shia station and Saka stage is on this side with this completion Saka stage and another little bit of development of the station area called scramble Square 2 the Le development of Shia station that lasted more than 10 years is going to

Complete and now the site for the Redevelopment is moving to Shinjuku and the big deconstruction site will move to Shinjuku now and next 10 years or more s station in the area will be full of the construction site they’re going to completely remodel this whole station and there will be lots of

Different skyscrapers and first one will be opening is this odaku department store now it’s demolished and and in 2027 or later it’s going to open as a building which is you can see from here actually but which is higher than Tokyo metr G building and eventually they’re

Going to remodel all other parts of the station so maybe in 10 years 20 years it will be going to be a complete different abuse so at this this odaku department store is going to open after 2027 so right now shuku station is not really the best place to hung around but

Shinjuku itself like West Shinjuku Nish shuku or kabuk is still a good place to go around but station is just a little bit complicated right now and on September 2024 the large Park is going to open in Osaka and it’s right in front of Osaka station this is a project

Called Grand green and it’s a new development after the railways yard and there are going to be three hotels Hilton’s brand called canopy is going to open this year and next year world of austrialia is also going to open and another hotel by hanu Railway is also

Going to open so this Grand green will be right in front of the station and there’ll be a big Park so it’s a very unique and kind of beautiful place it will be and on October 14th Nagasaki will also have a new development so so new Saka stadium is

Going to open in Nagasaki and that will have a new hotel and little shopping area called Nagasaki stadium city and it will even have a hot springs that you can Overlook the Saka Stadium recently hokkaido’s baseball team open the kind of space that you can see the baseball

Game game as you take bath but so this is a Saka version you can see the Saka game as you take bath so that is a major update that is happening in 2024 and it’s it’s not everything there lots of lots of different small to midside project that I didn’t cover there’ll be

Also hotels opening like mercur is going to open 23 hotels in Japan in 2024 and this will be mostly kind of rebranding or renovating of the current hotel resort called dver in okina it’s kind of zamp Cape zampa that I showed in okina video so that be renovated it and

It’s going to have the one of the biggest pool in Okinawa too also Aman’s new brand called Janu is going to open in the aab project which I talked about area in the team borderless is opening and also and in Kyoto the banan kto and Hilton kto is opening so I hope
