Japan Information: Best Tokyo Information Tips

Let’s have a look at some Basic Tokyo Information on Getting Ready.
Sometimes its hard to know How to start planning. Here are some Tips on the Perfect Tokyo Packing Checklist, a Yen converter, Free Tokyo Subway Map and Saving with the Japan Rail Pass.


Tokyo Information: The Japanese Money And A Yen Converter

Yen Converter In Japan- cash is king. Japanese people mostly use cash.
Shops, restaurants and Taxis charge in cash.

Most department stores, hotels and major restaurants do take credit cards, but there are still many places that don't, so you'd better be prepared for that by carrying enough cash with you.

Here you'll find a yen converter courtesy of Yahoo Finance.

Did you know that there's no need to Tip in taxis, restaurants or hotels? This certainly makes things easier for tourists.
Individual tipping is not part of Japans culture.

In spite of that you'll get the best service you have ever experienced.
It's just a part of the Japanese culture.



Tokyo Information: Tokyo Subway Map And A Free Tokyo City Map

Tokyo Subway Map The Tokyo subway is what makes this city work. Narrow streets with no names, slow-moving traffic and extremely limited and expensive parking - you need a very good reason to want to drive a car here.

Getting along in the city's subway system, is in fact much easier than in NYC, Sydney or London.

The Tokyo subway map is in fact the most useful map for getting around in Tokyo.

Taxis are very pricey, but are a cultural experience in itself due to their lacy seats and gloved drivers.

Do not count on your taxi drivers to speak English, or know the city better than you do. This sounds strange but it is because streets have no names here.

Your hotel can provide you with a map. Or you can Check out this Free Map of Tokyo.
