What To Know Before You Go

• Carry cash, not everywhere accepts card
• Never run out of mobile data with AIRALO. These e-sims are hassle-free and have a variety of data plans. My code TARA1104 gives you $3 off. I also recommend GomoWorld.
• Medical expenses are THREE times the cost for tourists when compared with residents. A simple GP visit can be approximately 34,000 yen. Make sure you have travel insurance in place before arriving in Japan. World Nomads and SafetyWing are reliable with great coverage.
• On a budget? Combinis have incredibly tasty and high-quality food for a fraction of the price. They all have microwaves so you can heat up the food on the spot.
• Carry a tote bag for your rubbish, bins are rare. Japanese people are expected to take their rubbish home with them.
• You should also take a small hand towel to dry your hands after washing them in public bathrooms. Not many bathrooms have hand driers or tissue.
