  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Japanese yen (JPY) for everything you buy throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards to cover you in every situation.
