Information on Trasportation from the Airport

Travel tips

• List of common sentences (print it before you fly!)
• There is no tipping habit in Japan. Some restaurants add service charge to the bill (5% or 10%), though.
• VAT of 5% will be added to every purchase you make. In some of computer/electronic stores you can enjoy duty-free shopping (pls ask store clerk for details).
• Most Japanese do not speak English well. Be sure to speak slowly and clearly enough when you talk with store clerks, for example. Hotel employees speak English in most cases.
• Roughly speaking, 1USD = 110JPY.
• Don't even think about rent-a-car in Tokyo area, it is TOO crowded and lanes are TOO narrow. Highways are toll roads and the price is expensive. Public transportations are just enough and convenient (but very very crowded depending on hours. :p).
• Also most taxi drivers do NOT speak English. You should prepare print image of the venue name in Japanese letters.
• If you wish to find some gadgets or cool notebook PCs, visit Akihabara area or Shinjuku area. You can reach there by 20 to 30 minutes of train ride, take JR Yamanote line (green train). Note that most Akihabara PC shops offering competivie prices do not accept credit card. Also note that most of the note PC available in Akiharaba is equipped with Japanese keyboard, with which you will not be happy. Ask KAME staffs for detail.
• Phone connectors are RJ11 (same as those used in US).
• AC power source (wall outlet) emits 100V/50Hz AC. Connectors are very similar to that in US, but without ground pin. If your country uses 110V AC, no transformer is required (Japanese eletricity is very high quality and it usually emits exactly 100V AC - no voltage drop during travel). You only need to bring shape-changers, or cables without ground pin.
• GSM cellphone is not usable in Japan. Japanese cellphone network is not compatible at all with GSM.
• Small shops (like Burger King or McDonald's), taxicabs and train stations do not accept credit cards. It is advised to carry some JPY cash.
• Weather forecast

Foods

• Lunch will be provided to participants, on Sep 29 and Sep 30.
• Reception will be held on Sep 29. This is optional and registration is required to participate.
• Other meals are on your own.

• There are many restaurants near Shinagawa station, especially in "Shinagawa wing" mall.
• If you can drink, you should give a try to "sake", Japanese wine of rice.
• Not all restaurants have non-smoking area.
• Strict vegitarian restaurants are somewhat hard-to-find. If you are okay with fish, I think you are saved.

Novelty Goods

• KAME T shirts
• IIJ postit
• IIJ ballpen
• IRI junkpad
• NEC mouse pad
