How do you guys find communicating with the locals in Japan? Do you speak Japanese?

We can communicate via simple English in cities and hand gestures /body language in smaller local towns. We can’t speak Japanese but are learning. :)

You also have an advantage knowing Chinese. I think some of the characters are the same! :D

在日本搭新干线 - 是一种最好的旅游享受~

完全同意!还比坐飞机舒服!

我想起上一次去日本,在涉谷站看見有人喝醉酒跳軌...

天啊!那个人又被救吗?

有兩個職員把他推回去哈哈

Yes yes yes! The electronic bus fare chart almost got me crazy the first time I took public bus during my solo trip to Tohoku. I thought that I had to count the number of stops to my destination but it didn't make any sense because it's Japan right? I don't think they would ask passengers to do math or anyhow deceive the driver which stop a passenger boarded.

Everything became clear after I asked some random passengers and realized that I didn't take the bus ticket =) So for that first bus trip I got a little 'discount' LOL

Lol! We were also quite lost during our maiden local bus ride!

ah yea the bus one confused me quite abit on my first few tries.
I haven't tried renting car yet!

Their cars on rental are super clean!!!

I think that the bus fare signboard is unique because in Singapore we tap our card by contactless means on a device provided on all buses and MRT station and we sometimes take for granted the ease of transport. Upvoted!
