Useful Tips about Japan

Climate

Japan's seasonal variations are somewhat different from what you may be accustomed to in the UK. Hokkaido, in particular, is known for its cold winters, stunning snowscapes, and cool, dry summers.

Currency

Japan operates on the yen (¥) and while many places accept credit cards, cash is still widely used, particularly in rural areas.

Connectivity

Roaming charges may apply, so consider getting a local sim card. Free Wi-Fi can be found at places like coffee shops, train stations, and of course, your hotel.
