    • @japanguide
      @japanguide День тому

      It is a digital pass (as explained around 1:16 of the video). You purchase it on your phone. No physical ticket involved. If you prefer a physical pass, then you can buy a paper version at ticket machines and ticket offices of Odakyu Shinjuku Station or other stations along the Odakyu lines.

    did you do all this in one day? last time I visited (my first time) I pretty much only had time to do two things to ensure I made the last train back to Tokyo. any suggestions for planning other than to spend 2-3 days there next time so I don't feel rushed?

    • @japanguide
      @japanguide 2 дні тому

      Hi, yes, we visited all these spots in one day, starting with the first train early in the morning. While it's perfectly doable, it's also a great idea to choose some spots that interest you the most and spend more time at each location! :)

    You have totally understated the insane quality of the dinner in the Ekoin temple. It is the by far best dinner I had in Japan. In both quality and flavour. I also booked the guided tour through the cemetery with the Ekoin monk. Also heavily understated. The level of depth and detail you get from the tour is unparalleled. That monk will give you the best understanding just how mega sacred the place is to Japanese buddhism. Only a complete <insert random insult here> will ignore his plead to not take any pictures within the most holiest and most sacred core of the cemetery. However some people are just beyond important and will take pictures only one minute after the monk told everybody not to. I wouldn't be suprised if Japan decided to reject entry to foreigners to that cemetery core shrine just as Japan did with Kyoto's famous geisha district, where foreigners ignored the instructions to not take pictures of the geishas on the street. Until this day I deeply regret not punching that dudes face for his complete ignorance.
