Hi, Uber is not legal in Japan? Cause I used it once during my stay primarily to get my luggage from my hotel to the Station and it worked out quite well. I would have love to use the GO Taxi app but it always said that I am not allowed to download it in my country.

Thank you for sharing your real experience. It's very helpful for other tourists. Actually, in Japan, you can receive a dispatch service from a taxi company that has a contract with the Uber app. The drivers are professional, not normal drivers. Therefore, the price is higher than a regular Uber. However, from the customer's perspective, the service content may not be different.

I just returned from Tokyo today, after having spent almost three weeks there, and (having visited some of the countryside and Mt. Fuji as well), September was sunny almost the entire time. Except for usually around 32C weather, which was often humid, it was still somehow wonderful. Some Japanese friends who live there were more than happy and anxious to show me around. There was barely any rain during most of September, 2024, but if I (hopefully) visit again, I would definitely come in October, before any other month! Except for the confusion of the massive Shinjuku Station at first, I even managed to get around Tokyo by myself at least four times. What an incredible place!

Hey, friend! I have a running excel sheet I keep for myself as I go to Japan often for work. I use USD, but these rates should be comparable to Euro insofar as how good each service is. Note that I included TravelEx as they're famously the worst just so you can compare: ------------ 7-11 ATM: $100 USD = ¥14,200 Ticket Ranger: $100 USD = ¥14,017 Sakura Currency Service: $100 USD = ¥14,500 TravelEx (for comparison): $100 USD = ¥13,771 ------------ I tried to summarize, but those rates above include the current exchange rate, and their exchange fee. Any ATM (like 7-11) will be different depending on your bank and if they charge you fees on top of the ATM. I have no fees with my bank, so it's typically a 2% fee. Both Ticket Ranger and Sakura are comparable though as well. They advertise "no commission/no charge", and basically make their money as a result of having a lower exchange rate than some places so it's factored into the exchange. Often they are cash only as well, but I'm sure this is dependent on the location you go to. All that said, 7-11 is generally my recommendation if you are withdrawing cash using card, but if you already have cash then Sakura Currency or Ticket Ranger will all give you a comparable and fair exchange. :) Hope you have a great vacation!!

I am not against spending money on such it's a vacation and experiencing such things as the unique bussing and don't know about you but a private bus cabin looks intriguing and others like the ferrying and trains many different ways to travel. I don't know if you covered it yet but I am very interested in understanding more about it. One thing I heard about but wasn't able to do was buying a folding bike in Japan for more easily getting around. What are your thoughts on this option.
