Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.
If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.
Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?
Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,
Which airline do you think has the best food?
Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?
and so on and so onThis text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

> Bring a battery
As you know, I am a walking pilgrim and walk all day long in Shikoku, so I try to carry as little as possible in my backpack
and as light as possible. When I am walking and the weight of my backpack feels
like it is digging into my shoulders, I feel the urge to throw away a pen or a toothbrush.
Therefore, the USB battery is heavy for its size.
It is a "big mistake" to think that your "normal" is applicable to everyone,This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

> Don't ask here, call them yourself and find out.
Where do you call ?
JAL would be the same, but when I call ANA, they are on hold all day.
I tried to call ANA last year or so to ask about another matter, but no matter how many times I tried to call, they were "busy".
I had no choice but to drive to LAX, and I talked to the ANA counter and got my business settled, but
I said to the agent inside the counter, "ANA phone is busy ( ) all hours of the day
"
"I'm sorry, sir. <1566> "Sorry, sir, it is," he replied. You should try calling Ototto.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have no income and no bank account in Japan, but I would like to open one. I have a wedding and other things to celebrate that I have yet to give, so I will need a lot of cash all at once, but what is the least expensive way to convert American dollars into Japanese yen ?
I heard that you can withdraw cash from ATMs at convenience stores, but I imagine that such a thing would cost me money.I think they are taking money from me ?. There are no fees, but the exchange rate seems to be underhanded like the bank's price 😂
I have $ 5000 USD cash on hand to enter the country, $ I would like to put about 25K in some way into an account that I will set up in Japan. The latest I am within $ 5000 but with the yen so weak right now, it would be better to convert ? $ 25K.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Okano,
> What is the least expensive way to convert US dollars to Japanese yen ?
I am not sure there is anyone living on this forum who can give a correct answer to such a serious question. I think.
Someone called "Weekend Overseas Nomad 'Daisuke'" on YouTube deals with such issues, so you might want to scour his past videos.
Whenever I have less Yen on hand during my trip to Japan, I stop by the nearby post office and withdraw cash Yen from the ATM using my Debit Card from a bank here. But the amount is only a few tens of thousands of yen.
Now $200 is about 30,000 yen.
I think the maximum amount of money that can be exchanged for cash in a day at my bank is $500.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

What happens if I cannot open an account in Japan? If you deposit dollars into the account from your bank in the U.S., you can use your wise debit card to withdraw Japanese yen from ATMs in Japan. Is the exchange rate for this method worse than transferring the balance directly to a Japanese bank?

I have a Mizuho Bank account, but I had to go to the head office in Tokyo to exchange my money. When I tried to exchange it at a local exchange, they charged me 3 yen per dollar.
If you live in the U.S., you can open an account with a brokerage firm called Interactive Broker and convert your money from dollars to yen at the current exchange rate without any fees, and send it to your Japanese account in Japanese yen. is an international brokerage firm, so you can have your account funds in dollars, Canadian dollars, or yen in each currency.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

>ドル建てとかカナダドル建てとか円建てで口座の資金をそれぞれの貨幣で持つ事が出来るので。
アメリカでInteractive Brokerに口座開いた場合、円建てでInteractive Brokerの自分の口座に入金するなら日本の銀行の自分の口座から送金することになると思いますが、手数料や国際送金料がかかりますか。そのお金をドルでアメリカの銀行に送ると、また手数料と国際送金料がかかりますか。Interactive Brokerの口座に置いておける金額にリミットはありますか。wiseだと残高が百万円を超えると口座が凍結されるそうです。手数料や国際送金料はどの程度になりますか。証券会社なので株の売買もやらないと問題になりますか。口座の維持費は無料ですか。This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I'm back from Japan
yesterday.
I don't even know what to write as I am still in the late stages of aging and jet lagged.
I was walking mostly in Shikoku again.
The only time I hung around in Tokyo was on the last day.
But the flight between LAX and HND was painful.
I suggested to my wife that we fly business class or at least premium economy since this might be the last time we fly to Japan, but
she lightly rejected the idea and we were stuck in the cramped pure economy seats.
The only comfortable seat would be on the trip to Anoyo.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Today is the second day back here.
I'm still as jet-lagged as ever.
However, my wife, who is also jet-lagged, is mowing the weeds in the backyard with a String Trimmer.
I knew this was bad and started to trim the overgrown rosemary in the front yard, but
after about an hour, my wife threw in the towel and said, "You, stop it!
I wanted to continue, but my back ached, and I had no choice but to stop.
My jet lag is going to continue for a week, so I'm in trouble.
how do you guys get rid of this jet lag ?This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Mr. waiwai,
It costs about $ 50 to send money electronically, so it may be expensive to send small change. The brokerage here has its main office in Chicago, but the American customer service is not friendly and courteous, so I called the Japanese branch below and asked them to convert the amount needed for the money transfer from dollars to yen. If you make a mistake, you should ask them to show you how to do it because it can be a big problem if the amount is large. If you need to send a large amount of money many times, this is a good service, but if you need to send only once or a small amount, I recommend you to pay the bank about 3 yen per dollar for the exchange conversion fee, because it is less trouble.

I went to bed early again last night and woke up at 3 am.
This summer I will have reached "Umbrella Jubilee".
I would like to go on another walking pilgrimage to Shikoku next spring, but my wife is starting to get a bit of a blur and
she says, "Don't go anymore..."
But I intend to walk in Shikoku until I live to be a "Yonenrei".
I'm going to have a war with my wife...This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I woke up around 2am until dawn this morning and didn't get enough sleep.
On the other hand, if I do some walking in the afternoon to tire myself out,
I won't wake up all night.
Well, I'm out of shape for about a week after returning from Japan every year.
I woke up in the middle of the night and started reading the book
"Miracle of Shikoku Pilgrimage" by Madoka Kaoru, 254 pages ¥ 910
which was very interesting and I read through it.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

In this Bibi's "Machikado Photo Album", I have included "walking data" from
Fujidera Temple 11 to
Yakiyama Temple 12, which is part of the 88 temples of Shikoku, and "photos" I took at a nice view point on the way down fromYakiyama Temple. I put them on this page.
The mountain path from Fujiidera, especially No. 11, is not so bad for those who prefer mountain climbing, but
it is the most difficult path for pilgrims who walk mainly on the plain, and is commonly called "henro-korogashi"
.
The view of the lower landscapes from the mountain paths in the photos is lush and green, and reminds us that
"this is Japan".
I wonder if I go to Shikoku every year to soak in the lush green scenery and the moist air deep in the mountains of Japan, which I can never experience here in LA.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
