JAPAN HAS CHNGED | TOP 10 New Things to Know Before Traveling to Japan in the fall of 2024

Japan is experiencing a surge in foreign tourists right now. In August 2024, visitor numbers were up by 36% compared to last year, and even 16.4% higher than pre-COVID. With this surge in tourism, several changes have emerged—some positive, some challenging, but all essential for your trip.
Some of these changes are exciting! For instance, new seasonal events are lined up for autumn, and the shift from summer to autumn brings plenty of perks for travelers.
But, there are also things to be mindful of, like the newly announced regulations for Halloween this year and concerns about Seven-Eleven, a favorite among tourists, facing acquisition uncertainty.
Additionally, Japan has a new Prime Minister, and this change could have significant implications for foreign travelers.
In this video, I’ll share 10 essential updates you should know before traveling to Japan this autumn, along with three new services I’ve launched to help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.
By watching this video, you’ll be better prepared to navigate Japan and make the most of your trip. So, make sure to watch till the end!

  1. Hi Toshi! I’ve been in Japan for 5 days now! So far, it’s a great experience to go again! Once again, thank you for the weekly video updates! Your video on the IC card options helped me a lot and I’m using Suica on the phone! Thanks again!

  2. Thank you for another upload!! I’m literally on a plane heading to Tokyo! Your tips helped me immensely!

  3. As for 7-11, I hope the Couche-Tard firm leaves the stores alone in Japan and actually reproduce them here in Canada. It would be a million percent improvement than what is currently here.

  4. Can you share more information or links to the Osaka Danjiri Festival? There is no info about the Nov 2-3 festival. As far as I saw there was one on September… and in Nov 3rd, there will be Midosuji festival…

  5. Amazing video, Mr. Toshi, thank you for your support and advises. My family and I are very happy with them. Great job.

  6. I am in Tokyo right now trying to enjoy my vacation, but I am FUMING right now because I got scammed by a travel agency! I prepaid >$7K back in March for a 12-day trip and thought all my reservations/events are confirmed by now (in October). But, as I sit here in Tokyo, there has been absolutely no effort from this travel agency to communicate who's my tour guide the next day, they are completely unempathetic to my needs as a first-timer in Japan, nor providing any help on logistics! I have been paying out-of-pocket for transportation, meals… EVERYTHING the last 4 days! Like WTF did my $7K buy me exactly!?? I have taken tours in the past before, and this agency (UME Travel) is an absolute SCAM of the higest order! If you're planning to come to Japan, please be EXTREMELY cautious of UME Travel! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! 😡😡😡

  7. Weather change—> I'm flying on Monday and I still don't know how to dress 😂​
    The danjiri matsuri in Osaka? But isn't it taking place in Kishiwada in September? More info please 🥺​I want to go to a matsuri 😭​From October 31st to November 2nd I will be in Kyoto.

  8. Konichi-Wa from Germany! Rules Luggage Shinkansen: how can the train crew control who´s suitcase has a reservation or not? Where to put your suitcase if its not to big? Arigato! Andreas
