Things I wish I knew before going to Japan🇯🇵

Planning a trip to Japan can be overwhelming, especially if you go for the first time. This was my experience at least and in this video I am trying to give back and share the things that stood out most to me and I wish I have knewn before going to Japan. This is including the experience of an overnight flight, how to manage an early arrival in Japan, using the local trains and the shinkansen, choosing the right hotel, what are the hotel amenities typical in Japan, the whole lore around food and how to save some money and of course the visit of Japanese theme parks (Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan namely). I hope you find the information helpful and have the best time when you are going to Japan!

ABOUT ME:

Hello everyone! My name is Stella and I travel solo for the past 25 years.
I am a single, childless, GenX, catmom, free spirit, colourful, adventurous, Disney and themepark loving, fun, sarcastic, intelligent, book loving individual that has one aim in the world:
Inspire YOU to get more confident, get more to be yourself, live the best life you can and enjoy the ride. I am a strong believer in there is no such thing as “age appropriate” and you are never too old to start something new, learn something new and do what your heart is longing to do.
Often we are so used to serving others that we forget our own needs and desires and in my coaching business I help people get back to themselves, let go of the carrots that promised happiness, but never really brought you luck and also the negative beliefs that you accumulated over the years and do not serve you any longer.
