@traveling.osaka.kobe: 1. If you’re looking for a restroom, go to a pachinko parlor instead of a convenience store. In cities like Osaka and Tokyo, busy areas usually don’t have public restrooms, so go to a pachinko parlor instead. Pachinko is a Japanese slot-machine arcade, and they always have restrooms! ⸻ 2. Trains are cheaper than taking a taxi. Using taxis isn’t cheap, and in Japan you can reach most places by train — so keep that in mind! ⸻ 3. For Shinkansen tickets, use Smart EX. When buying Shinkansen (bullet train) tickets, skip the counter and use Smart EX instead. It’s much more convenient and saves you travel time! #japantrip #japantips #visitjapan #japanlife
