Episode notes
Fly To Haneda When Possible
- Avoid flying into Narita if you can and prefer Haneda for proximity to central Tokyo.
- Haneda is ~20 minutes from central Tokyo while Narita can take over an hour to reach.
Know Toilet Kanji Or Oterei
- Learn the kanji for male and female or the words oterei to find toilets quickly.
- Many small bars only label toilets in Japanese so knowing the characters prevents embarrassing mistakes.
Speak Single Words Clearly
- Use single English words and borrowed words when speaking to Japanese speakers if grammar blocks communication.
- Saying clear place names like 'Shinjuku' is usually enough for taxi or station staff.
