ESSENTIALS AND TIPS FOR A CONVENIENT JAPAN TRIP

 
1. RENT A WIRELESS ROUTER "POCKET WIFI"

One can find it essential to have this device specifically for train  navigation , restaurant finds , places and tourist spots ,GPS and to update social networking sites in an instant.

The pocket wifi allows multiple gadgets to connect at once using unlimited data. 

One can choose to rent the device from any of the company counter offering at the airport. However , booking online before your departure to Japan may cost you less and  more convenient as you may choose to have the device delivered at your hotel and includes an envelop for return.

JAPAN KAWAII TRAVEL 1.0 : ARRIVAL AT NARITA AIRPORT JAPAN TO DOWNTOWN TOKYO

My childhood dream finally came true.. yehey <3 

As early as my childhood years , Japan has always been my dream destination and to finally see the Land of the Rising Sun with my own eyes is something I will forever be grateful and thankful for. The fusion of fast paced modernity, cultural Buddhist tradition , the politeness of people ,the beautiful tourist sites and landmarks, mouth watering  Japanese cuisine, and plenty of exciting array of vending machines makes this country a place like no other. 

When I finally arrived at Narita airport , it seems surreal that I really set foot in Japan. It was a fleeting moment for me as we disembarked from the plane.  

The international airport is located someway from the centre of Tokyo. As with most international airports, one can easily find currency exchanges , mobile phone rentals and local sim card stores. But only in Japan you can see plenty of vending machines even inside the airport vicinity with an array of hot and cold beverages and canned coffees. I bet Japan can also be called the land of vending machines. You can see it everywhere all through out Japan.
