What No One Tells You | 10 New Things to Know About Money Before Traveling to Japan in 2024

Japan has improved significantly in 2024! In this video, I’d like to share with you the top 10 updates you need to know related to money in Japan. Japan is going through a lot of changes this year, so it’s important to stay informed. Food prices are rising, with almost 3,000 items increasing in October alone. If you’re traveling in 2024 or early 2025, there might be a chance to experience Green Car seats for free. Cyclists, be aware—stricter penalties are starting in November. Another update is that new banknotes are out, yet some machines might not accept them. Japan’s new Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, is making waves with his economic policies—something to keep an eye on in the future.

  1. I will fly to Japan next year in July and hope to climb Mt. Fuji if I can book a night in a mountain shed.

  2. Why do you show Black people doing service jobs, like cab driving & also getting arrested? Not a good look and I find it to be very offensive. 😢

  3. Hi, I'm fllying to japan nextyear with my family and we would be visiting koyoto and Osaka too. So if I buy Osaka pass can I first travel to Kyoto from Tokyo using the pass and from there I will go to Nara and Osaka which I will pay for the tickets and then from Osaka to Tokyo can I use this pass? Basically I want to use the pass for Tokyo to Nara and from Osaka to Tokyo can it done? Thanks in Advance.

  4. I have the impression that traveling to Japan in 2024 and not later was a good idea. When I booked everything at the beginning of this year, the hotel prices were still low compared to Europe.

  5. Oh no, I wanted to go back to Japan in october 2025 :c If it will be even more expensive I may not visit 🙁 (I'm from Poland so it's expensive for us)
