japan-travel-essentials
What should you pack when visiting Japan? I think there are 7 essential items for a Japan trip that you should definitely put on your packing list, or remember to buy once you arrive in the country. Some of these items are really not obvious as necessary until you get here, but if you have them, you'll be travelling like a local.

JR-Pass-Q-and-A
I answer your questions about using the Japan Rail Pass. If you have a question that isn't covered in this video, or you want me to explain something in more detail, let me know in the comments.
0:00 Does the JR Pass work with the metro/local trains to travel around the city?
1:12 Can you go directly into the non-reserved seats on the bullet train?
1:47 What happens if you take the wrong train?
2:37 Do I need to always reserve a seat if I think my bags are not going to fit in the over-head compartments on the train?
4:39 What if the machine eats your ticket?
5:22 After receiving reserved Shinkansen tickets from the ticket machine, do you have to insert both the reserved ticket and the JR pass, or only one of them through the automatic ticket gate?
6:43 What is your opinion on getting the upgraded Green Rail Pass? Does it help when traveling during busier times? What are the seats and amenities like compared to the standard pass?
9:33 Can you reserve the tickets a few days in advance?
9:52 Can I reserve a seat in Nagoya for a train in Hokkaido?
10:13 In order to use the online seating reservation for up to one month in advance, do I have to buy the JR pass from the Japan Rail Pass reservation website or can I buy the JR pass from any other websites/vendors?
11:13 There seems to be several websites for purchasing JR Rail passes. Is there an official site, or one that is better than the others? What is good to look for when choosing where to buy the passes online?
