Japan’s geography and geology make it prone to earthquakes, tsunami, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. For this reason, it is essential to be aware of the safety precautions to observe while you are on your trip. Train stations, tourist information centres, hotels, and other establishments should have information readily available for visitors. You can also check the Japan Meteorological Agency website for the latest warnings and advisories.

Useful Phone Numbers And Websites

Electric

The standard electric supply in Japan is 100 Volts, with a frequency of 50 Hertz to 60 Hertz. Japanese electric outlets are Type A, meaning they have two, parallel, flat, non-polarized pins.

Insurance

Japan has a National Health Insurance program that covers all Japanese citizens, permanent residents, and foreign passport holders in Japan with Japanese visa valid for at least three months. This National Health Insurance guidebook provides more information.

Internet Access

There are many ways to access the internet while in Japan. Various train stations, tourist information centres, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and businesses all over the country offer free wi-fi. There are also data SIM cards, rental phones, and portable or pocket wi-fi available, as well as internet kiosks and internet cafes.

Laws And Customs

• Drugs – Japan has severe punishments in place for drug violators. You can find detailed information on what substances are banned, how to bring your prescription medication into the country, and more on the Japan Customs
• Identification – Tourists are required to have their passport with them all the time.
• Smoking – There are designated smoking areas found outside train stations, malls, offices, restaurants, and other establishments.
• Tattoos – If you have tattoos, be prepared to be turned away at some hot spring resorts, public swimming pools, beaches, and other places. In Japan, tattoos traditionally have a negative connotation and are associated with criminals.

Currency

The yen is the official currency of Japan. It is written as 円 in Japanese. Its symbol is ¥ and code is JPY.

Money

The yen comes in bills of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 denominations, and coins of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 denominations.

How To Pay For Items

Even though there has been an increase in the number of businesses that accept foreign credit cards and debit cards in Japan in the past years, cash is still the primary means of paying for goods and services. You can buy yen from your local bank before your trip, or exchange foreign currency at currency exchange counters on your arrival to Japan.

Withdrawing Money

There are ATMs and cash machines at Japanese airports, post offices, and convenience stores where you can withdraw yen using foreign issued cards. While in Japan, you can use the following websites to find an ATM near you: Japan Post Bank, Seven Bank, and Visa.

Cell Phones

Many foreign cell phone models these days are compatible with Japan’s mobile phone networks. To know if yours will work, check with your local carrier and take note of the rates before your trip.  Alternatively, you can get yourself a Japanese SIM card or a rental phone that you can use for calling, messaging, data, and other functions upon arrival to the country.

Phone Codes

Japan’s country code is +81. Below are the area codes of some major cities:

Public Phones

Public phones or pay phones are still common in Japan. They are useful in situations in which cell phone signal or reception is lost during emergencies like earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters. They typically come in bright colours, like green and pink, and are found at airports, bus and train stations, public offices, and others. To use one, you have to insert a 10 yen coin for a one-minute call or a prepaid calling card loaded with 500 yen to 1,000 yen. In case of emergencies, you can simply dial 110 (police) or 119 (fire/ambulance) free of charge.

Toilets

Toilets are easy to find in Japan. There is at least one in almost every train or bus station, convenience store, department stores, parks, supermarkets, temples, shrines, museums, and others. They come in different types: Western-style, modern-style with bidet functions, and squat.

Time

Japan Standard Time (JST) is the timezone of Japan, equivalent to UTC+09:00, meaning it is 9 hours ahead of the UTC or Coordinated Universal Time. It does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Public Holidays

Japan observes several public holidays every year, during which most offices, businesses, and establishments are closed.

Opening Hours

Most businesses in Japan are open on weekdays, from around 9 am until late in the afternoon. Banks, post offices, and offices usually operate from 9 am to 3pm or 5 pm; malls, shops, and department stores, from 10 am to 8 pm; and museums and other tourist attractions, from 10 am to 5 pm. It is best to visit a facility’s website to get accurate information.

Post

Japan has about 24,000 post offices that handle large volumes of letters, packages, parcels, and mail to be delivered within the country and overseas every day. They are usually situated close to main train stations, and are open Mondays to Fridays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Visit the Japan Post website for post office locations, rates, and other information.

Tipping

Tips are not expected at hotels, restaurants, and other business, and may just cause confusion or awkwardness, or even be seen as rude and offensive by some locals.

Recommended Vaccinations

Japan is one of the cleanest and safest countries in the world with top notch health and medical services. If visiting, you are not required to get vaccinated for anything else if you are up to date on your routine vaccines, i.e. polio vaccine, measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR vaccine), chicken pox/varicella vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, and annual flu shot.

Tap Water

Japan has excellent water purification and maintenance facilities that render its tap water drinkable. Wherever you are in the country, whether in a large urban area or in a small remote town deep in the mountains, you can drink water straight from a faucet in parks, temples, hotels, and others.

Travel around Japan easier and cheaper with the Japan Rail (JR) Pass. Here are the answers to some commonly-asked questions about purchase and use of this advantageous Pass!

What is the Japan Rail Pass?

The Japan Rail (JR) Pass is a special pass issued by the Japan Railways (JR) Group to travelers visiting the country. With unlimited usage of all railway lines operated by the JR companies and even buses, streetcars, and ferries, the JR Pass is one of the easiest and most economical ways of traveling around the Japan archipelago.

Who is the JR Pass for?

Any visitor to Japan who is there for sightseeing purposes are free to purchase the JR Pass. Here are the two broad conditions that you’ll have to meet:

1. You are a non-Japanese visiting the country for sightseeing purposes. In other words, you hold no special visa, and are allowed to stay in the country for 90 days as a temporary visitor.
2. Japanese citizens who don’t reside in Japan, and are just visiting for sightseeing purposes.

Why should I buy a JR Pass?

While it is true that the JR Pass is not for everyone, it is generally right to say that it’s a bargain to get the Pass if you plan to travel widely around the country. Transportation can be one of the largest costs of traveling in Japan. For example, a single train ticket for a one-way trip from Shinjuku to Shibuya in Tokyo costs ¥160. Thus, if you plan to visit a few major sightseeing spots, transportation can easily cost up to ¥1,000 per day.

As such, purchasing a JR Pass is a good idea, not only because it can help you save on transportation costs, but it also makes it easier to use the trains and buses. Having a JR Pass eliminates the hassle of having to buy tickets every time you take the train, or the inconvenience of purchasing a commuter pass card.

Are there different types of JR Passes?

There are quite a few different types of JR Passes available, depending on your needs. For example, if you only plan to travel within Tokyo, purchasing the “JR Tokyo Wide Pass” is a better price option than the standard JR Pass.

Visit the JR Pass website (http://www.japanrailpass.net/) to learn about all the different types of Passes available. Here is a list of the more common ones.

• Standard JR Pass (all Japan)
• Hokkaido Rail Pass
• JR East Pass (covers the eastern prefectures like Aomori, Nagano, and Sendai)
• JR Tokyo Wide Pass
• JR West Rail Pass (covers the western prefectures like Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara)
• JR Kyushu Rail Pass (covers the southern prefectures like Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima)

What does the JR Pass cover?

First and foremost, the JR Pass covers most railway lines operated by the JR companies. That includes the monorail lines, as well as the shinkansen or bullet train lines. However, do note that there are several types of shinkansen trains, and you cannot use the JR Pass to take the 2 fastest types: the NOZOMI and MIZUHO trains.

The JR Pass also covers local bus routes in most major cities, but express highway buses operated by JR Bus are not covered. The Pass also covers the ferry operated by JR West that runs between Hiroshima and Miyajima in west Japan.

Is the Narita Express covered by the JR Pass?

The Narita Express is a special train line that runs from Narita Airport into central Tokyo, stopping at major stations such as Shinjuku, Shinagawa, Shibuya, and Tokyo stations. Rides on the Narita Express are covered by the JR Pass, so make sure you turn in your Exchange Order at the airport to get your JR Pass!

Similarly, the JR Pass covers the Nankai-Limited Express which runs between the Kansai International Airport and major train stations like Osaka, Tennoji, and Namba stations.

Can I use the JR Pass for the subways?

The subway lines in Tokyo as well as other major cities such as Osaka and Kyoto are run by a different company; hence you cannot use your JR Pass to take those lines. Similarly, train lines run by other companies, such as the Yurikamome line that connects Shingawa to Odaiba in Tokyo, or the Hankyu and Hanshin railway lines in West Japan, are not covered by the JR Pass.

When in doubt, bring your JR Pass to the station master’s office. The station attendant there will let you know if you can use the Pass.

How much is a JR Pass?

The price of the JR Passes differs depending on the type of Pass you purchase. Here are some examples:

• The JR West Kansai Area Pass costs ¥6,300 for a 4-day pass, while the standard nationwide JR Pass costs ¥29,110 for a 7-day pass. This is simply because the Kansai Pass can only be used in a smaller region of limited Prefectures.
• JR Passes for children usually cost half of an adult’s price.
• For JR Passes that include shinkansen or bullet train rides, you have the option of choosing between a Green Pass or an Ordinary Pass. The Green Pass allows you to book tickets in the Green Cars of the shinkansen, which are akin to First Class seating on an airplane. 

How do I buy a JR Pass?

Purchasing a JR Pass is a 2-step process. First, you’ll have to purchase an Exchange Order from an associated tour agency in your home country. Visit any tour company to find out more, or simply order online by clicking the book now link below:

BOOK NOW

After you arrive in Japan, you can turn in your Exchange Order at any major JR station to receive and activate your JR Pass. Take note that you’ll need your passport to do this, so make sure to bring it along. This is to prove that you are in Japan on a temporary visitor visa, and for the staff to check that the name on your Exchange Order matches your passport identity.

Do note that all JR Passes have a usage limit (e.g. a 7-day pass is valid for 7 consecutive days). As such, the staff will ask when you’d like your JR Pass to be activated. If you’re staying in Japan for more days than the Pass’ limit, make sure to plan out your itinerary to fully maximize the Pass!

Can I get a JR Pass in Japan?

Usually, Exchange Orders can only be purchased outside of Japan, which means that if you are in Japan, there is no way to obtain the JR Pass.

However, the JR Group is running a trial until 31 March 2019, where Exchange Orders can be purchased at specific major JR stations. Do note that the prices of Exchange Orders sold in Japan are higher than those sold overseas!

For more information on this, click here.

How do I use the JR Pass?

To take a JR train, simply flash your JR Pass to the station attendant at the station master’s office. The office is usually located next to the ticket gates. The attendant will check your Pass and wave you through. Do note that you cannot use the Pass to go through the ticket gates like the rest of the commuters, so make sure you head to the lane where the station attendant is!

The procedure is similar for buses, just show your JR Pass to the driver when disembarking. You’ll see other commuters taking tickets from a little machine when boarding, but there is no need for you to do that if you have the Pass.

For the Miyajima ferry, show your JR Pass at the ticket gates and you’ll be able to board the ferry without problems.

Must I use the JR Pass on consecutive days?

Most types of JR Passes are for consecutive days, so once you activate the Pass, you have a limited number of days left that you can use it. However, there are some special passes which allow you to choose certain days during which to activate your Pass.

For example, the JR East Passes allow you to choose any 5 days out of a 14-day period in which your Pass is valid for use. This allows for much more flexibility in your planning, and there’s no rush to zip around the city trying to hit all the major sightseeing spots in a set number of days. Overall, a much more pleasant vacation!

Can I reserve seats on the shinkansen?

Yes! To do so, you have to visit any JR “Midori no madoguchi” ticket office. Simply look for a green sign of a man sitting on a reclining seat. While at the office, you can reserve a seat on the shinkansen at no cost. You’ll receive an additional ticket that you’ll have to show to the station attendant at the ticket gates, together with your JR Pass.

Do note that there is no need to reserve tickets for the shinkansen. You can choose to show your JR Pass to the station attendant, and board the shinkansen in any of the unreserved seat carriages. However, there is no guarantee that you’ll get a seat in these carriages, especially during busy periods or the holiday season. Therefore, it is recommended that JR Pass holders reserve a ticket so you can travel in peace and comfort.

The post Japan Rail Pass FAQ appeared first on Japaniverse Travel Guide.

I am pretty sure that if you went to almost any other country you would be just fine with even broken English. But in Japan the knowledge of English language is quite on the low levels. This is mostly caused by the Japanese educational system. The Japanese start studying English only in middle school (junior high school), and the extent of their studies is reading some text while learning grammatical rules by heart. Not a very productive way of learning a language, if you ask me. Alas, you cannot just change the educational system of a whole country overnight and hope that the people will start speaking better English. The real problems might be lying deep down, invisible to bystanders like me.

Here’s an interesting thing though. Even if you ask a question to a random Japanese person in JAPANESE, they might end up replying to you in English, just because they can’t register the fact that a foreigner can learn their language. But let’s be honest, Japanese is indeed a hard language to learn if you compare it to any Romance and Germanic language. Thus this is not a very abnormal situation.

It is true, however, that most of the Japanese people can at least speak a little bit of English. Nonetheless, it might be better to get ready by learning a couple of phrases, instead of leaving everything to goddess of luck. In this article I will try to teach you some of the phrases that you will need during your trip. So buckle up and let’s get started!

Keep in mind, I am using romaji, the Japanese romanised version of spelling. This should be read just as they are written, with every single letter being pronounced.

Konnnichiwa – A phrase you might have heard before, and yes this does mean hello.

Sayonara – Yes, you guessed it! This one is good bye.

Arigatou (gozaimasu) – This one stands for thank you. You can use the gozaimasu if you want to seem polite, since that is the formal version of the phrase.

Doumo – Also stands for thank you, is less formal. It is also an especially good fit for using while doing your shopping or going to a restaurant.

Douitashimashit – What follows a thank you? Yes, you’ve got it, you’re welcome!

Onegai shimasu – The phrase means please, and you can use it in situations when you are asking the person to do something for you.

Hajimemashite – This is a phrase to use when introducing yourself. You could say it means I’m pleased to meet you.

Watashi wa X desu – My name is X.

X kara kimashita/Shusshin wa X desu – Both phrases have the same meaning: I am from X country.

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu – The phrase can mean Nice to meet you, but if we translate it to English literally, we will get something along the lines of Please take care of me.

Sumimasen/gomennasai – I’m sorry/Excuse me. These two do have a distinction, but you should be fine using either. What’s interesting though, you can use sumimasen to call the staff in your hotel, in a restaurant, a shop or anywhere else really, as well as as a phrase to kick-start a conversation.

Itadakimasu – You could say this is the Japanese equivalent for Bon Appetite, but not exactly. The phrase does mean Thank you for the food, but is used exclusively before eating.

Gochisousama deshita – Just like itadakimasu, this one also means Thank you for the food. However unlike the former this phrase is used only when you are finished with your food.

Oishii desu! – The food is very tasty!

Takushi noriba wa doko desu ka? – Even though I am strongly against you taking a taxi (these cost a fortune in Japan even for very short distances!), sometimes some things can’t be helped, so here’s a phrase for Where is the taxi stop?

Basutei wa doko desu ka? – Where is the bus station?

Chikaku no eki wa doko desu ka? – Where is the closest train station?

Tsugi no basu wa itsu desu ka? – When is the next bus?

Tsugi no densha wa itsu desu ka? – When is the next train?

X made douyatte ikimasu ka? – How can I go to X place?

Toire wa doko desu ka? – Where is the toilet?

Ikura desu ka? – How much does this cost?

Kore ga kaitai desu – I want to buy this.

X wa doko de kaemasu ka? – Where can I buy the X thing?

Nihongo ga wakarimasen – I don’t understand Japanese.

Eigo hanasemasu ka? – Can you speak English?

WiFi tsukaemasu ka? – Can I use the WiFi?

Hai – Yes.

Iie – No.

These ones are some of the basic phrases you might need as a tourist. But let’s not stop here and dig in a bit deeper. What happens if you suddenly and unexpectedly start feeling sick, and have no choice but to talk to somebody to ask for some immediate help? I know, speaking a foreign language you don’t really know is not going to be your priority, but it would be for the best to calm down and try to explain the situation to your guides and nurses. Here are a few simple phrases that will help you with the task.

Guai wa warui desu – I am feeling bad.

Atama/Onaka ga itai desu – My head/stomach hurts.

Heya ni modoritai desu – I want to go back to my room.

Yoko ni naritai desu – I want to lie down.

Netsu ga arimasu – I have fever.

Hakisou desu – I feel nauseous.

Mou daijoubu desu – I’m alright now.

The phrases listed above are not quite enough to hold up a conversation with a Japanese person, but of course nobody’s going to learn a whole new language for just a couple weeks long trip to the country. Mind you, a lot of foreigners in Japan cannot speak coherent Japanese even though they have lived here for many years. And then again they manage to get by with their lives just fine. Unless you end up in some very rural areas of Japan you will most likely be able to get help and guidance in English, even if not with perfect grammar or pronunciation. This list is just a precaution in case of an emergency!

In any case, I hope you enjoy your trip to Japan with or without this list!
