Why This Book?

Your Japan adventure begins the moment you land. Without the right vocabulary, you might freeze at passport control when the officer asks questions, struggle to fill out the immigration card correctly, or wander confused looking for baggage claim. This book gives you every word you need from touchdown to taxi, so your first impression of Japan is confidence, not confusion.

Pro Tips

Visit Japan Web is a free online service to complete immigration and customs forms before you land. Fill it out on the plane using airplane WiFi, and breeze through with just a QR code.
Narita vs Haneda matters for transportation. Haneda is closer to central Tokyo (30 min by monorail), while Narita is 60-90 minutes away. Plan your route before landing.
Airport ATMs in the arrival area accept international cards and offer better exchange rates than currency counters. Look for 7-Eleven or Japan Post Bank ATMs.
Pocket WiFi rental counters are in the arrival lobby. Reserve online before your trip for pickup - it's often cheaper and faster than buying at the counter.
Suica or PASMO IC cards can be bought at airport train stations. Load money and use them on all trains, buses, and even convenience stores throughout Japan.
