Frequently Asked Questions

What do you have to declare at customs Japan?

You are required to make a written declaration about your belongings. You must submit one copy of Customs declaration forms to a Customs inspector when you enter Japan. Two copies of Customs declaration forms are required, if you have unaccompanied baggage, or if you are bringing in guns or swords.

Should I bring cash to Japan?

Even though an increasing number of establishments have begun to accept credit cards, many places still do not. All of this means you will need to carry more cash (in yen) than you're probably accustomed to. Luckily, Japan is extremely safe so the biggest risk is probably losing or misplacing the cash.

Can you drink water in Japan?

According to the Japan Water Association, Japan is known as one of only 15 (out of 196) countries with potable tap water.  Although the tap water itself is safe to drink, the health risk posed by supply pipes is somewhat a cause for concern. In fact, the use of brass or stainless steel pipe's water is safe to drink.

Can you go to Japan without knowing Japanese?

If you are traveling to major cities with many tourists like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and are visiting major tourist spots, you don't need to worry because some people speak good English. In some restaurants, menus in English are also available. You can travel to Japan just fine without knowing any Japanese.
