ATMs exist, but do not accept all foreign cards.

Nightlife in Japan

Japan has a great nightlife. However, some clubs will close at midnight, so if you would like to party post that, you will end up being disappointed. Izakayas or Japanese pubs are very popular here for the cheap drinks and quick snacks or munchies. Karaoke nights are also very common. Some places even provide you with a private room for a karaoke session. Eateries in little streets also remain open through the night, ideal for those late night hunger pangs. Small bars, concerts, street festivals and more make up the nightlife of Japan.

Shopping in Japan

The stores of Japan are filled to bursting with everything under the sun. From traditional craft pieces to the latest gadgets, local food and the latest fashion, you will find all that you need here. Suburban shopping malls also exist. Convenience stores and department stores are available aplenty, stocked with good quality products for everyday use. Souvenirs can be bought from the local stores.

Tap water is potable in Japan. Public toilets are quite clean, but as mentioned earlier, do not have soap dispensers all the time. Carry sanitizers and hand tissues along with you.

Do not address any local with their name, as it is considered rude and impolite on your part. Greet people by bowing to them. Always take off your shoes before entering someone's home. Tipping is not compulsory.

Tips for visiting Japan

Carry enough cash on you, as Japan is a cash-based society. You can get everything that you need at any convenience store. Several washrooms do not have soap dispensers, so carry your hand sanitizers with you. Bargaining is not very easy.
