**IMPORTANT WEBSITES mentioned in video:**
🤗Visit Japan Web (📍Note: For us going in March/early April, we needed to upload our vaccination information or take a test. 📍UPDATE: As of April 29, you are no longer needing a vaccine or test certificate or to fill our Quarantine Fast Track yay!) https://vjw-lp.digital.go.jp/en/

🤗Japan Rail Pass (My apologies on telling you we bought from the official website. This was the website that we bought from which is actually an official agent. https://www.jrpass.com/ We had no issues and really liked the website design compared to a lot of others. It was also recommended to us. The point my video was trying to make was to just give yourself plenty of time to gather everything you need instead of waiting last minute. There are a lot of places to buy the JR Pass!)
📍The official official website is actually this one here! I have not bought from this one so I can't comment on it but heard good things about it! https://japanrailpass.net/en/
📍FYI sad news. JR PASS prices are increasing by a significant amount (50-60%) in the fall (October) If you do decide to buy the pass, the instructions on how to use it stays the same :)

🤗Pocket WiFi we personally got ours from: https://www.jrpass.com/pocket-wifi
🤗Japan Rail Pass Calculator (one of many options!) https://www.jrpass.com/farecalculator
🤗Don't get arrested! These are the medications that are banned! These were just 2 websites I found but PLEASE do your research if you have a certain medication!: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/english..../policy/health-medic
