Tips for travelling to Japan Part.1

There’s a plethora of things to know before you go to Japan.

I’ve lived in Japan for the majority of my 20′s and I go back to Japan twice a year. So when it comes to Japan, I think I can help.

First things first. Get a guide book. Seriously. Get one with a map of Japan, a map of the major cities’ subway systems. Without it you’ll be lost the moment you step out of the airport. If possible grab one with some phrases.

I’ll cover quite a few topics in this multi part series, I want to cover the following;

• Planning (Part.2)
• preparing (Part.3)
• traveling within Japan (Part.4)
• communication [phone/data/wifi] (part.5)
• hotel (Part.6)
• shopping (Part.7)
• things to eat (Part.8)
• things to bring (Part.9)

Blogging again…

So this must be my 100th attempt at blogging. I started a blog in the 90′s and had it going for a while. While I lived in Japan but then I just got too busy. Early 20′s in Tokyo, single and paid fairly well. Life doesn’t get any better. So here I am mid 30′s re attempting something that I enjoyed in my early 20′s
