This is a great link on tips on using your debit/credit card abroad. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money Post office ATM i found to be the best place to withdraw, withdraw limit was the same as my UK bank. I got a pretty damn good exchange rate, pretty much spot on with XE.com. The only downside with my Debit card was a £3.44 ATM charge on a 30,000 yen withdraw (about £233ish).

I take over CDN$3,000 - CDN$5,000 (but exchanged in Yen) in cash. The only way to retrieve money from a machine is at a 7-11 (not a bank), and even then I think the rates for exchange via your credit card are brutal. But you cannot access your bank accounts over there. So take cash. @Guy Culmer

Yes, I'll be happy to return and talk more about actually BEING in Japan rather than the preparation. While the preparation is very important, I think I spell it out fairly well on this website. To answer your question, yes, the water is safe to drink. In fact, I don't know what they do to their water, but my hair and skin is never so healthy and feels so good as it does as when I'm in Japan. They are hygiene freaks, so I'm very appreciative of that. Feel free to ask any other questions! Cheers. @Captain Obvious

Some things I would have liked to know more about would have been maybe some other things to do in Japan other then shopping (I suppose that is a little off topic though...), and a random question that I has would be: is the tap water clean to drink there? Thank you very much, I hope you come back to AE next year (hopefully without having to recover from an injury..)!
