      So beautiful 🤩
      I am little nervous to travel alone to Osaka in April🥹 I been to Tokyo many time but never outside Tokyo..

      There is no legal way to fly a drone in any of the areas where you did. Best to cut that footage.
      1. To keep yourself out of legal jeopardy.
      2.Most importantly, to not promote something that absolutely shouldn’t even be attempted by a foreigner in Japan, which will just cause more problems and restrictions for all other foreigners who live in and visit to Japan.

      #11. Join one of our Meetup events. It’s a rare opportunity to meet and talk to locals in English. We meet in coffee shops so it’s perfect for solo travelers.
