| Travel Information |
| |
>>Credit Cards and Traveler’s
Cheques |
| |
Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club and JCB are
widely accepted at hotels, department stores, shops and restaurants.
Only major banks and hotels in principal cities can accept traveler’s
cheques, but their use in Japan is not as common as in some
other countries. |
| |
>>Banking |
| |
Most of the major banks are available for foreign currency
exchange transactions from 9:00 to 15:00 on weekdays. |
| |
>>Tipping |
| |
There is no custom of tipping in Japan. Instead, at places
such as restaurants, bars and hotels, 10% service charge is
usually added to your bill. |
| |
>>Tax |
| |
5% consumption tax will be added to your bill. |
| |
>>Insurance |
| |
Participants are advised to provide their own travel insurance,
as the Organizing Committee will assume no responsibility for
personal accidents, sickness, theft or property damage. |
| |
>>Electrical Appliances |
| |
Japan operates on 100 volts for electrical appliances. The
frequency is 60 Hz in western Japan including Fukuoka. |
