    Great video. I can’t remember the store (the one with the Godzilla shop) in Shinjuku. And they were making custom flower jars. Each one themed to what you want but most of the examples were anime characters. Was very cool/unique. My daughter made one.

    Fabric stores were my goal on my last visit that totally failed on. I wanted to use it to cover homemade/hand made and sewn books. Thought the fabric would make a very unique cover, but after miles of walking on an injured foot I found that my research or GPS was wrong. Any good direction or areas would be great for my next visit. FYI... used locally sourced fabrics in my town and did hand drawn art work for all 14 books that I gave one to each family member. They still loved them.

    What are the different places that have a stamp, and do i need to have a notebook with me?

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo 4 дні тому

      The main one is train stations. The stamps will either be sitting out for you to use or you can ask the attendant next to the station gates for an “eki stanpu” and they’ll bring it out for you. You’ll want to bring your own notebook or scrapbook but it’s a fun way to collect some free souvenirs around Japan 😊

    • @pandarush.

    I'm travelling to Osaka & then Tokyo in late August. I have a Suica card from an earlier trip to Tokyo in 2019. My question is... will my Suica work in Osaka or will I have to buy a ICOCA card to use the trains there? I understand that credit on the card lasts for 10 years so I'm not worried about any credit expiring (although I do wonder whether the Suica card also expires).

    • @tokyocheapo
      @tokyocheapo 4 дні тому

      Hi there! The physical Suica card expires after 10 years of no use so you’ll be fine to use your one from 2019. You can also use Suica in Osaka no worries 😊

      @devilsadvocate2656 4 дні тому

      @@tokyocheapo Thanx for clarifying the Osaka / Suica thing as I couldn't find any info on the web regarding that... Just to be certain that I understood correctly... The physical Suica card will be non-functional after 10 years... Wot happens to any credit stored on it at that time?

    We went the other way round last year. Biggest mistake of our trip. We spent the whole day queueing! The weather got worse as the day went by, and it was getting dark when we finally crossed the lake. And then more endless queues for the buses as night was falling! A rather stressful experience, especially when I realized the bus service stopped at 6 PM! We finally caught one without knowing its destination, and were back in Tokyo well after 9 PM. Never again.

    Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
