First time in Japan?

Practical tips that make every day easier.

Carry some cash

Many small shops, shrines and ramen counters in Japan still prefer yen. Withdraw at 7-Eleven or Japan Post ATMs which accept foreign cards.

Get a transit IC card

Suica, Pasmo or Icoca cover trains, buses and konbini purchases across Japan. Add it to Apple Wallet or buy one at any major station.

Stay connected

Pocket WiFi or an eSIM keeps UseJapan, maps and translation working all day, even far from your hotel.

Learn three phrases

Sumimasen (excuse me), arigatou (thank you) and toire wa doko desu ka (where is the toilet) get you surprisingly far.
