The problem I had with using an ATM in Tokyo (once I'd found a citibank) was knowing what sort of account my Lloyds TSB account is. On the Japanese ATM I had the option of "checking", "savings" and two others. None of which would let me withdraw cash.
Luckily most places I went shopping took cards, they seemed to be moving towards chip & pin in a big way.
Ho hum...at least I've got 6 1/2 months before I go back again to figure out what type of bank account I have

Citibank and Pot office ATMs do work (possibly not then for Electron) but are harder to find .Last edited by Richard.John; 31-07-2007, 01:20.

Man, I have no idea how to start planning for going on holiday in somewhere like Japan.
Like, where to go! So so much to see and do and think about for just living there. Is there a flat guide that someone has written that I could just follow? From flights to transfers to travel to places to visit.
Oh, and what not to do as I don't want to get arrested or anything.Last edited by IanE; 31-07-2007, 02:28.

Thanks for the advice guys, I have got my money and travelers cheque sorted. Just two days before I go now! However the one thing that still bugs me is the seat reservation for the Narita express train on the site it has:
"Reservations can be made one month in advance. Please inquire at JR Reservation Ticket Offices, View Plaza (Travel Service Centers), JR East branch offices, or major travel agencies."
Does this mean I can phone my local travel agent and get a reservation? Is this really a big deal or can I just buy a ticket when I get to the airport and jump on the next train that comes?

Yeah the walk is lovely. Also, there is an actual neko bus at the museum but, spoil sports that they are, they only allow children on it. Upon hearing this news my girlfirend looked at me and later told me she thought I was about to charge in flinging children out of the way... my shoes were already off.
Stupid rules. <grumble>
