    Travel Tips & Essential Information for Japan

    Official Languages: Japanese

    Japanese Is the Working Language Everywhere. English Signage Is Reliable on the Rail Network, at Airports and around the Main Sights, and Larger Hotels and Department Stores Can Usually Help — but Spoken English Thins Out Fast in Small Restaurants and Away from the Big Cities. A Translation App Earns Its Place Here

    Mobile Network: Coverage Is Excellent — 5G Reached 98.6 Percent of the Population by March 2026 and 4G Covers Effectively Everywhere People Live. Signal Still Drops in Mountain Valleys and on Remote Coastlines. Japan Switched Off Its Last 3G Network on 31 March 2026, so a Phone That Cannot Use 4G or 5G No Longer Connects at All

    Roaming/SIM/eSIM: An eSIM Is the Simplest Option for a Recent Phone — Install It before You Fly and It Works on Landing, with No Shop Visit and No Japanese Address. A Local SIM Can Still Win on a Long Stay, or When You Want a Japanese Number for Restaurant Bookings, Though Most Visitor SIMs Are Data-Only. Roaming Is Easiest If Your Home Plan Already Covers Japan, and Expensive If Not. Pocket Wi-Fi Suits a Group Sharing One Device, but It Has to Be Collected, Charged and Returned

    Japan Is No Longer a Cash-Only Country — Cashless Payment Reached 58 Percent of Consumer Spending in 2025, and Cards Work in Convenience Stores, Chains, Taxis and Hotels. Cash Still Matters at Shrines, Small Izakaya, Festival Stalls and Some Rural Buses. ATMs in 7-Eleven Stores and Post Offices Take Foreign Cards

    Do Not Tip. Japan Has No Tipping Culture, and Staff May Follow You Out of the Shop to Return the Money You Left on the Table — Service Is Already in the Price. The Exceptions Are Narrow. High-End Restaurants and Ryokan Add a Service Charge, Usually about 10 Percent, and a Private Guide or a Ryokan Attendant Who Has Taken Personal Care of You May Accept a Small Cash Gift in an Envelope

    Plug Type: Type A and Type B

    Voltage: 100 V, 50/60 Hz

    Adapter: Japan Runs on 100 V, the Lowest Mains Voltage Anywhere, at 50 Hz in the East Including Tokyo and 60 Hz in the West Including Osaka. Chargers Marked 100 to 240 V Are Fine. A 230 V Hairdryer or Travel Kettle Will Run Weakly or Not at All, and the Flat Two-Pin Sockets Mean Most Visitors Need an Adapter

    Japan Is among the Safest Countries in the World for a Visitor — Violent Crime Is Rare, and a Dropped Wallet or Phone Usually Reaches the Nearest Police Box. The Real Hazards Are Natural — Earthquakes, Typhoons between Roughly July and October, and a Summer Heat That Now Regularly Reaches Dangerous Levels in the Cities

    • Dial 110 for the Police and 119 for Fire or an Ambulance, Free from Any Phone
    • The Japan Visitor Hotline on 050-3816-2787 Answers in English around the Clock
    • Carry Your Passport, Because a Foreign Visitor Is Required by Law to Show It on Request
    • Turn on Earthquake and Weather Alerts, and Read the Evacuation Notice in Your Hotel Room
    • Typhoon Season Runs from Roughly July to October and Can Stop Trains and Flights for a Day
    • Summer Heat and Humidity Are Genuinely Dangerous, so Drink Often and Rest Indoors at Midday
    • Check the Last Train Time in Advance, Because Most Services Stop around Midnight
    • Hand Anything You Find to a Police Box, and Ask at One If You Lose Something Yourself

    Do

    • Carry a Few Thousand Yen in Cash for Shrines and Small Restaurants
    • Reserve Shinkansen Seats and Popular Restaurants in Advance
    • Put Your Money on the Small Counter Tray Rather than into the Cashier's Hand
    • Learn Konnichiwa, Arigatou and Sumimasen
    • Sort Your Rubbish into the Bins a Convenience Store Provides
    • Check Whether a Restaurant Takes Orders at a Ticket Machine by the Door

    Avoid

    • Do Not Tip, and Do Not Leave Change on the Table
    • Do Not Eat or Drink on the Move in a Crowded Place
    • Do Not Put Your Small Towel into the Bath Water
    • Do Not Talk on the Phone or Play Audio in a Train Carriage
    • Do Not Point a Camera at Geisha, Private Homes or Strangers
    • Do Not Smoke While Walking, and Use the Marked Smoking Rooms

    Local Cultural Tips

    • Escalators Are a Local Matter — Tokyo Stands Left, Osaka Stands Right, Saitama and Nagoya Ask Everyone to Stand Still
    • Tax-Free Shopping Changes on 1 November 2026, so You Pay the Tax and Claim It Back before Departure
    • Consumption Tax Is 10 Percent, or 8 Percent on Food and Drink You Take Away
    • Fill in Visit Japan Web before You Fly and Clear Immigration and Customs from One QR Code
    • Public Bins Are Rare, so Carry Your Rubbish to the Nearest Convenience Store
    • An IC Card Such as Suica, PASMO or ICOCA Works on Trains, Buses and in Convenience Stores
    • Suitcases Bigger than 160cm in Total Need a Reserved Space on the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen
    • Keep Your Voice Down in Trains, Lifts and Restaurants
    • Remove Your Shoes at a Raised Entrance, in Homes, Ryokan and Many Temples
    • Wash and Rinse Thoroughly before You Get into an Onsen or a Sento Bath
    • Never Stand Chopsticks Upright in Rice or Pass Food from Chopstick to Chopstick
    • Offer and Receive Business Cards, Money and Change with Both Hands
    • Line Up behind the Platform Markings and Wait for the Carriage to Empty
    • Bow Lightly When Greeting, Though a Nod and a Polite Word Are Enough for a Visitor
