And we're gonna talk about some tips for travelling in Japan

我們要聊的是日本旅行的小貼士

Because Spring and Summer are coming up

春天和夏天就要到了

And I know lots of you guys are gonna come visit here

很多人一定會來這裡旅遊

So we thought we would think of some helpful things to tell you

所以我們想說不如 和你們分享一些小貼士

to hopefully improve your trip

希望能幫大家的旅程更順暢

So the first one that we both thought was really important was

首先我們一致認為最重要的是

Get a train card

買一張交通儲值卡

Let me show you mine so you know what I'm talking about

給你們看看我的卡

I have a sticker over top of mine

我在上面貼了貼紙

So you can't really see it

所以可能看不清楚

But it's a little card like this

但是是這樣的卡片

It's an IC card

是IC卡（智慧卡）

And you can fill this up with money

可以儲值然後

And just tap it on the gates at the train station

乘搭地鐵時只要在檢票口觸卡

and you can go through

就能通過

and it'll automatically take off how much money you need to pay for that trip

通過的同時會自動從儲值卡裡

off of your balance

扣除乘車費用

So instead of looking up... Oh I'm in Tokyo and I need to go to Shibuya

這樣就不需要查一趟車要多少錢了

Ok that's like 170 yen... so I have to buy a 170 yen ticket

像是從東京去澀谷要170日圓 就要去買170日圓的車票

You don't have to do that

不需要那樣

You can just keep a balance on your card

只要給儲值卡儲值

and just use it without thinking

然後不用操心什麼地使用

And when it runs out you can fill it up again at the machines

用完後只要在專用的機器 再儲值就行了

It saves so much time and stress

既省時又能減少很多壓力

It just makes travelling so much easier

讓旅程方便許多

There are a lot of different brands for them

IC卡也有很多種

Some of them don't work on every train line

有些卡不能搭所有的線

Right

嗯

So if you get yours in Tokyo, it might not work on every train line in every other city

如果是在東京買的 可能無法在其他城市的所有線使用

And same for train cards from other cities as well

其他城市的IC卡也有這個問題

And then there are also benefits for some of them

有些還有優惠

Some of them will let you accumulate points

有些卡會讓你積分

So you can save money

然後可以省錢

That's so cool! The ones in Tokyo don't

好厲害哦！東京的卡沒有這優惠

All around it's just very useful and awesome

總的來說就是很方便和棒

You should get one

應該買一張

You can get these at the train machines where you buy tickets

能在買車票的機器買到

There'll be an English button so just push that

會有英文的語言選項 只要按下去就行了

It's pretty straightforward

很簡單

There are a lot of helpful apps you can get if you're gonna be in Japan

要在日本待上一陣子的話 有很多便利的APP

One of them would be a train app

其中一個就是地鐵APP

It's kind of like a life saver

真的是急救神物

Very recommended!

超推薦！

When you're travelling from one place to another

從一個地方去另一個地方時

The app will automatically calculate the quickest route, the cheapest route

這個APP會計算出最快最便宜的路線

So you don't have to go look at maps yourself

所以不需要自己去查地圖

Maps suck, the train maps suck here

路線圖很討厭 這裏的地鐵路線圖超討厭的

They're really confusing

很亂

If you get this app you can be like "I'm in Tokyo right now, and I wanna go here!"

有了這個APP “我現在在東京 然後我要去這裡！”

And then you can choose what you want

就能選擇你要的東西

If you want the cheapest route or the fastest route

要最便宜或最快的路線

There's English ones, and there's Japanese ones

有英文的也有日文的

I use the Japanese version

我用的是日文版的

So I say Tokyo at the top, Shibuya at the bottom

所以上面輸入東京 下面輸入澀谷

So the station in the middle here is the station you need to transfer at

中間這些站就是你需要轉乘的站

So it tells you you have 4 minutes to get to your transfer spot

這個APP還會告訴你 你有4分鐘的時間

Just very helpful!

很有用！

Something that may not be common sense in a lot of countries these days

一件在很多國家很不合常理的事

Japan is a cash society

日本是個“現金社會”

So you kinda need to have cash here when you go around

在這裡需要有現金

A lot of stores don't take credit cards

很多店家不收信用卡

Especially if they're smaller or not in a big city

尤其是比較小的店 或者大城市外的店

Or if you're paying for admission to something

或付入門費之類時

Like a shrine, it probably won't take a credit card

像神社 大概不會收信用卡

I would say about 70% of the places I go don't accept credit cards

我估計我去的地方有70%不收信用卡

Even ones that you would really think would

你覺得會收的地方也不收

Like a big department store or something

像是大型百貨公司

You'll be surprised, so always have cash on you for sure

你會很驚訝的 所以請確保身上有現金

So Tokyo has 2 main airports

東京有兩個主要的機場

Narita and Haneda airport

成田機場和羽田機場

Narita airport is actually located in Chiba prefecture

成田機場實際上是在千葉縣

Which is the prefecture beside Tokyo

是東京旁邊的縣市

And it takes quite a while to get into Tokyo from Narita airport

從成田機場要花一些時間才能到東京

So if possible...

可以的話...

It's kinda rare because most planes do go to Narita

雖然有點少見 因為很多航班會去成田

if you're coming from outside of Japan

如果你從日本國外來

But if you can get a flight that comes into Haneda, I'd say go with that one

可以搭在羽田降落的航班就搭那個

It's a lot easier

會方便很多

You'll be able to get into downtown Tokyo a lot quicker

能更快抵達東京市區

Always go for Haneda if you can

可以的話就選羽田

A cool thing about Japan is that there's basically no tipping here

日本基本上沒有給小費的文化

So you don't have to worry when you go to a restaurant, you don't leave a tip

所以去餐館不需要擔心 不用留小費

You don't leave a tip for taxi drivers or... anything

給計程車司機什麼的 不需要

I can't think of any instance where you would be expected to leave a tip

我想不到需要給小費的情況

I've never been in a situation where I've had to leave a tip here

我從來沒遇過

So don't worry about it! Hair dressers, taxis, pizza man

理髮師 計程車 送披薩外賣的...

Nothing, literally. Just remember no tipping in Japan!

真的不需要 只要記住 在日本不需要給小費

And you'll be fine

這樣就沒問題了

Even if you feel like you wanna leave a tip, I don't think you should

即使想要給小費 我覺得不要比較好

Even if you feel like "This person was really awesome, I wanna give them a bonus!"

即使你覺得說 “這個人的服務太好了 我想給他一點獎勵！“

They'll just feel awkward

日本人只會覺得很尷尬

And they'll come running outside to give it back to you

他們會跑出來把錢還給你

So it's probably better not to do it even if you really want to

所以即使想給小費也最好不要這麼做

Because they just don't really understand the tipping culture here

因為日本人不明白給小費的文化

They assume you lost it or something

他們會認為是你落下的什麼的

And I think they feel really weird about trying to keep it

收下這個舉動讓他們覺得困惑

Exactly, even if you try to explain to them

嗯 即使你向他們解釋也一樣

If you just say thank you, you are above most customers

所以只要說聲謝謝 就比一般客人好了

That's so true!

就是！

No one says thank you so they'll really appreciate that

通常沒有人說謝謝 他們會很感激的

I find that really awkward

我覺得很尷尬

When you're in the grocery store and they ring in your groceries and hand them to you

在超市收銀員會結帳 然後交給你

or give you your change or something

或找零之類的

Most people just take it

多數人只是拿過來而已

And I'm always like ah, thank you!

我每次都會說“啊 謝謝你”

So seriously, if you just say arigatou gozaimasu everytime something happens

所以 只要說謝謝

They're happy

他們就會很開心了

They'll know that you appreciate their service

他們會知道你很感謝他們的服務

This'll probably be a really helpful one for lots of you guys

接下來這一條應該會很有用

I know that it's come in very handy for me

對我來說很方便

Google Translate!

谷歌翻譯！

I know it has a horrible reputation, and you guys are all thinking but it sucks!

我知道它臭名昭著 你們一定覺得

and it translates things horribly!

它的翻譯超爛的！！

It really does.

的確

But there is one function on it that is very awesome and very accurate

擔憂一個功能很厲害也很準確

That is the camera function

那就是照相功能

If you open up Google translate

打開谷歌翻譯的話

You will see a little camera picture here

就會看到小小的相機按鈕

And if you click the camera

點擊相機

It will turn into a camera, and you can find some kanji

就會切換成相機 找一些漢字...

Let's find some kanji that we can't read

找一些我們不會唸的漢字

Oh yeah there we go!

好的就這個

So you're in the toy store, and you're wondering what the heck this is

如果你在玩具店 看到了這個但不懂這是什麼

So what you do is take a picture of the Japanese writing on the box

只要把盒子上的日文字拍下來

And it will pick up any kanji that it sees in the picture

程序會讀取照片裡的漢字

and you can just highlight with your finger the ones that you want it to read

你可以用手機畫出你要它讀取的漢字

And it will give you the English for it! Refridgerator!

然後就會出現翻譯！冰箱！

Isn't that so cool?

很酷吧？

With old school kanji apps you had to write them out with your finger while looking at it

用老式的漢字APP查 需要手寫出來

or you had to look through a list of kanji to find the correct one

或需要在一大堆漢字裡選出正確的

But with this all you have to do is take a picture

但有了這個 只需要拍張照片

So cool!

太帥啦！

Yeah it's very very awesome I use this all the time

真的非常厲害 我常常用

Really reccomend that not only for kanji, but if you can't read hiragana or katakana

不僅僅是翻譯漢字 不會看平假名或片假名的話

It will translate that for you as well

也可以翻譯

So download Google translate and use the camera function

所以下載谷歌翻譯 然後用它的照相功能

So there are 3 potential problems you could run into with bathrooms here

在這裡用公共洗手間可能會遇到三個問題

The most common is that they don't have soap when you're washing your hands

最常見的問題是沒有洗手用的肥皂

So I always carry a bottle of hand sanitizer around with me

我平時會帶著一瓶洗手液

because I get sick really easily

因為我很容易生病

So I always wanna wash my hands

所以我想勤洗手

Especially before I eat

尤其是吃飯之前

#2 is they might not have a way to dry your hands

第二點是洗手間可能沒有弄乾手的地方

That's also very common

這問題很常見

So some people carry handkerchiefs around with them

有些人會隨身帶著手帕

Like old times, handkerchiefs

真的就是手帕

Or like a little face cloth

或者小面巾

So you can dry your hands after you use the bathroom

上完洗手間後可以擦乾手

You'll see that facecloths are sold EVERYWHERE

到處都在賣面巾

And you're probably wondering WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FACE CLOTHS

你會覺得為什麼要賣這麼多面巾

It's because people keep them in their bags so they can dry their hands

那是因為人們會收在包包裡 好拿來擦乾手

I don't I'm not that crazy, I just...

我不會那麼做 我直接...

That works too

那樣也可以

And the third problem, which is quite rare but does happen occasionally

第三個問題 雖然罕見 但偶爾會遇見

There are some toilets that don't have toilet paper

一些洗手間沒有廁紙

Oh I've never come across one of those

我從沒遇過

I've come across 2 so far

我遇過兩次

Yikes

一次好像是在名古屋地鐵站

I think one was in the Nagoya subway station

我想他們是因為有人偷廁紙

I think they had a problem with people stealing the toilet paper

所以才把廁紙拿到

So they got rid of it

現在可能有 那是很久以前的事了

They might have it now, it was a long time ago

另一次是在秋田縣

Another one was in Akita prefecture

我們開車走在鄉村道路上 然後在公車站找到了一間屋外廁所

We were driving around the backroads and found an outhouse at the bus stop, and there was no toilet paper

那裡沒有廁紙 不是用完了 而是根本沒地方放

Not like they ran outta toilet paper, there was no place to put toilet paper

那很少見

But that's not very common

但以防萬一 記得帶上紙巾

But just in case, bring tissues or something

擦手的問題很常見

But the hand thing is very common

很少會看到擦手的紙巾

You'll very rarely see paper towels

有時會看到烘乾機

and sometimes you'll see the hand driers

然後是與購物相關的一件事

Okay one thing that is shopping related

試穿衣服時 通常都要把鞋子脫掉

If you're going to try on clothes, most likely you will have to take your shoes off

才能進到試衣間

before entering the change room

如果需要脫鞋的話應該看得出

You'll be able to tell if you need to

因為進到試衣間前要踩上小梯階

because they'll have a little step up to go into the change room

如果有梯階就是要脫鞋

If there's a step, that always means you need to take your shoes off

通常還會鋪上地毯

It's usually carpeted too

嗯 會有地毯

Yeah there'll be a carpet

如果看起來很乾淨 大概就是要脫鞋

If it looks nice and clean, you probably need to take your shoes off

如果只是圍了布簾

If they just have a curtain around an area

地板和店面周圍一樣的話

And it's just the same type of flooring going all the way through

不用脫鞋應該也沒關係

then you might be okay leaving your shoes on

但我說幾乎都要脫鞋

But I'd say most often you need to take them off

如果不清楚 可以看著周圍的人 然後指指自己的鞋子

So if you're unsure, maybe just look at someone and point at your shoes

他們應該知道你在問什麼

They'll probably know what you're asking

應該很多人會問

I'm sure that lots of people ask that

不清楚的話最好脫掉

If you're unsure I would say to take them off to be safe

關於試衣間還有一件事

One other thing about changing rooms

就是裡面會有一個小小的白色面罩

is you'll find this little white face mask thingy inside of your changing room

那是試衣服時套在臉上用的

That is to put over your face if you're going to try a shirt on

這樣臉妝才不會弄到衣服

so that your makeup doesn't rub off on the shirt

就只是一個套在臉上的白色袋子

So it's just like a white bag thing that you put over your face

感覺很蠢

It feels so dumb

就是！（有時我不會套上...）

I know!! (sometimes I don't do it...)

就把袋子套在頭上再試穿衣服

You put it on your head and then you put your shirt on

這樣妝才不會弄到

So that you don't get the makeup on it

那很有趣但很麻煩 蠻有趣的

That's pretty cool, it's annoying as hell, but it's cool

所以那就是這樣！

So that's what that is!

我其實不去俱樂部什麼的 所以沒有親身經歷過

So I don't actually go to clubs or anything so I haven't experienced this myself

但這是外面的傳言！厲害的人說的

But word on the street! The cool people say!

如果你走在有很多公關俱樂部的街上

If you are walking along a street full of host clubs, kyabakura etc

像是六本木、新宿、歌舞伎町...

So like Roppongi, or Shinjuku... Kabukicho

如果街上有人嘗試拉你進去

If they have people on the street who are trying to pull you into the club

如果是那樣 那個地方好像就不是個好地方

then that is supposed to be like not a good place to go into

這和公關在街上招攬客人不同

It's not the same if a host is out on the street trying to attract customers

如果有人硬拉你進去的話

But if someone is actually trying to pull you in

那就是有敲砸的味道

Then a lot of those are kinda scammy

他們會收高額的服務費 100美金左右

Like they will give you a really high cover charge, like $100

然後他們還會強迫你還錢才讓你走

And then they'll force you to pay it before you can leave

所以去那種地方的話要小心

So be kinda careful if you're gonna go to a place like that

可能可以和去過那一帶的朋友一起去

Maybe try to go with friends who have been there before

找個名聲比較好的地方

Try to find a place that has a good reputation

嗯 網上有好評之類的

Yeah, good reviews online or something

不要隨便進去俱樂部 有些真的很貴

Don't go randomly into clubs because some of them are pretty pricey

好的 這應該是第一

Okay this should probably be #1

日本的便利店是最棒的！！

Conbinis in Japan are the best thing ever!!!

便利店是便利商店的縮略語

Conbini is short for convenience store

因為真的很方便

Because it's convenient!

超級方便！不像加拿大的 那裡的便利店很爛

But like SUPER convenient! Not like convenience stores back in Canada that suck
