This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of color pencils and a sketchpad, and visit different neighborhoods. This prize-winning book is both an illustrated tour of a Tokyo rarely seen in Japan travel guides and an artist's warm, funny, visually rich, and always entertaining graphic memoir.Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. In Japan, healthcare is both public and private, and being outside the European Union, prices and bureaucracy are different. Health insurance: it is good to be careful and buy valid insurance that covers as much as possible (you never know what can happen). Keep in mind that cards are used much less in Japan than in the West, so it's always good to have a certain amount of cash with you. I advise you to top up PostePay (the classic yellow one, not the Evolution one) and if you have a debit or credit card it is always better to contact your bank to warn them that you will be making payments in Japan (if you don't warn them, they could block the card) also ask to put the card in "worldwide payments" mode. However, bring a certain amount of cash (needless to say that nobody will steal it from you) because they can understand that cards cause problems, especially at ATMs. Exchange is never cheap, so it's best to exchange them as soon as you arrive at the airport.
Powerbank: it is always better to buy one so as not to be left with a dead phone.Ĭash: here's what NOT to do before leaving, exchange money in Italy. Otherwise, it must be bought from Italy at this site. Very often making this purchase is useless. My advice is to make a precise and feasible itinerary before leaving and to calculate with HyperDia how much you will spend on transport. Japan Rail Pass: considered indispensable by many, in my opinion it is not always so. Google Maps works perfectly throughout Japan, but if you want to use the site that the Japanese themselves use, download the HyperDia app (it's also in English) to find public transport timetables. The best and safest site to buy it is this. Upon your return, you can send it by post by inserting it in the letter envelope that will be provided to you and leave it at the airport post office. This tool is essential because it allows you to always stay connected to the Internet during your trip. Make sure you buy the pocket wi-fi from Italy and pick it up as soon as you arrive in Japan at the airport (alternatively you can have it delivered to your hotel).
