I'm actually going there for three months in January through March. So thanks for the heads-up. Yeah, I know, bad time of year, but work is work. I was born and raised in Nebraska and spent six months at Mt Fuji when I was in the Navy (stationed with the Marines) so hopefully I'll make it OK.
Good bank in terms of English- but only if they bother. Requested an account starter pack 3 weeks ago and still hasn't arrived...Post office may be to blame though...oh well, going to try a postal account :P
@Nymphonomicon English is the universal language. If you don't have a basic knowledge of the language then your out of luck. That's why most countries in Europe, Asia,and South America teach English as a secondary language.
It's convenient for all people because of the abundance of information, goods, and services available. Also, the cost of living is much lower than other parts of the world....something Americans take for granted.
I use the ATMs in the 7-11 combini to get money from my Visa Debit card when I travel to Japan so can I use their ATMs for the same purpose or are they only for Japan? Thanks.
We I was over there, I found it surprising that for one of the largest economies in the world, their banking system is pretty separate from the world banking system. It would have been easier for me to find an atm that would accept my card in Vietnam (much much easier) if the Japanese post office wasn't there I would never been able to get any money.
@TheJapanChannelDcom Useful video and site! Out of interest, are there bank charges for taking money out from ATMs against bank accounts (not talking about credit cards), especially if it is not from the same bank as the ATM?
@SuperMysticButterfly actually that's not true but it would be crazy if it did. So if all the money in the world is burned does that mean the earth actually stops orbiting around the sun?
