Money changer kiosk in Tokyo is NONE, basically you have to go to the back between 08:30-15:00, or you can withdraw with your cash card from any back with a high service charge. If possible try to solve the money problem before your arrival in Japan or at least before stepping out of Tokyo International Airport to Tokyo.

Most of the traveler bought a large numbers of electronically thing to their friends and family, but please remember, the guarantee period is only for 1 year and some of the electrical voltage is for Japan use only. 120V in Tokyo and 110 in Osaka Area.

July to November is Typhoon season, you flight and schedule might be changed simply by the strong winds and rain happen. Besides, train and other transportation might stop as well. Make sure that you have some loose schedule before and after your journey to Japan.

In Japan, we are not allowed to use our mobile in the subway and train. No punishment once caught. The main reason passenger not encourage to use the mobile is, there are increasing of patient of heart attack in Japan, and all of them use a pacemaker to control their blood circulation. The usage of a mobile may disturb the counting and this may give the patient a hard time.

Ticket for day trip are divided into few type, basically it divided into JR, City Subway and Public Subway. All of them using different tickets and system, The service doesn't combine, so you must make sure that your destination and direction very clear then buy ticket. Otherwise you may end up with buying 3 to 4 types of tickets. JP Pass for long distance basically is convenience, please do not forget to bring your passport a long for necessary verification.

Most of the Japanese are very shy and polite, must avoid using rude words or aggressive words like `fu*king', other than this, in Japanese alphabet `H' consist of make love. Most of the young people are sensitive with it. So, French, you are saved here, always no `H' in mind.

There are a large number of religions in Japan like Omn, The White's and so on. Most of the religions teaches us not to fight with each other but the meaning has been distorted, they do love each other but among the followers only, for non believer, they consider as alien or outsider. This large group of people have their own way to collect the fund to their God, if you have involved of this, they can never be escaped from it. Must avoid from the beginning. Japanese Government tried to stop this but has been threaten several times with terror here and there.

Japanese government sent a large group of Arm force to Iraq but this was been warn to stop sending the army there. Alqedah even announced to attack the people who ever caught, terrorist even admit Tokyo is one of their target. Garbage can in most of the subway and underground has been removed. If you walk and dress suspiciously, you may be questioned by the police on the street.
