TRAVEL on them , demanding treats , hiding in the “ cat-apartments ” only for the people to find . Half an hour later as you come out , you will be joined by other jubilant people who had a refreshing moment with cats , so do not miss out this heart-warming opportunity to meet new people and pet friends over a cup of coffee .
A FEW TIPS :
Spring , March to May , and autumn , September to November , is climatically stable in Japan , which makes these seasons the best time to visit Japan .
The currency is the Japanese Yen Of course , Japanese is the official language of Japan . Learning at least a few words of Japanese before you travel will be helpful . Japanese are very pleased when they hear a tourist attempting a few words .
Mobile usage is the most common problem in Japan . If you have a 3G handset , it will work , or else it will not . We recommend to “ rent a phone ” as it is the most economical . Many companies have booths at the airports , while other companies will mail a phone to your hotel or to your home . You will need a photo ID and credit card for this service . The phones can be returned to the booths at the airport on departure or mailed back to the companies .
