Essential Travel Tips
Incredibly safe with extremely low crime rates. Lost items are frequently returned.
Japan uses the Yen (¥). Cash remains essential for small temples, vending machines, and local ramen shops.
Japanese is spoken. Hello is 'Konnichiwa' and thank you is 'Arigatou Gozaimasu'. Use translation apps for signs.
Uses Type A & B outlets. Standard voltage is 100V (lower than US/EU), so devices may charge slower.
eSIMs or local prepaid SIM cards are easily available at major ports of arrival.
Utilize licensed taxis, ride-hailing applications, or official public transit routes.
Locate emergency service numbers and keep a copy of travel insurance documents handy.
Always bow slightly. Avoid eating while walking in public streets, and stand on the designated side on escalators.
Getting Around
Narita Airport (NRT) connects via Narita Express rail; Haneda Airport (HND) is closer, connected via Monorail.
One of the world's most advanced train networks. Use a digital Suica or Pasmo card on mobile wallets.
Buses are useful, but the rail network covers almost every tourist attraction. Fares are tapped on boarding.
Taxis are premium and immaculate; rear doors open automatically. Credit cards are widely accepted.
Uber operates but mostly calls licensed local taxis rather than private vehicles. Rail is preferred.
Extremely pedestrian-friendly with safe sidewalks, but prepare to walk 15,000+ steps per day.
Traffic can be highly congested. Public transit and walking are generally faster alternatives.
