Things I learned as a first time traveler in Japan – Part 1 βœ¨πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ #japantravel #japanculture



As a female, I love the idea of a women’s only section in the train

1. Suica card 🐧: A tap & go rechargeable fare card used in most public transport in Japan (Buses and local trains) 🚞 What I love about the suica is that you can also use it as a payment card in convenience stores, vending machines, coin lockers and even at selected restaurants! If you don’t want a physical card, you can also get a suica via iPhone or Android πŸ“±
2. Women’s Only passenger train car πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ: As a female, this brings me comfort knowing that I can have a safe train ride even at peak rush hours. From what I read, note that “Women’s Only Car” only runs during rush hours, generally the first train of the day until 9:30am on weekdays!
3. Cash is KING πŸ‘‘: Always have cash with you! I tried to use my credit card as much as can during my trip in Japan but about 85% of my transactions were cash!

    Also there are virtually no public garbage cans so bring a small bag on journeys

    If you’re traveling outside of Tokyo, buy a JR pass. Saves a ton of money.

    very useful tips.

    now i heard that JAPAN is also going to use UPI and they will hopefully lower the need to use hard cash.
    UPI surely has been a huge blessing to Indians.

    I'd like to add that the Women Only rule usually only applies to morning rush hour trains going into the city. And even during this time, all kids under 12 and people with disabilities and their male caretakers are allowed to use the cars freely.

    Exchange 30 000-60 000 yen before you get there at your bank and you should be good for most of the trip depending on your expenses
