Living in Japan : Welcome to all those who are new in Japan and those who are thinking about coming!

Food Shopping

Shopping-Pay more or save more, itfs your choice when living in Japan.

Business Hours

A general guide of business hours is given here but it pays to double check.

Street Vending Machines

The streets of Japan are covered with vending machines. You will find a can of coke or a packet of cigarettes literally anywhere, even up the slopes of Mount Fuji. The machines do not suffer the vandalism that they do in our home countries.

Christmas Shopping

Feel like getting something special for yourself or a loved one for Christmas from Japan? My advice is to either buy something from another country via the internet or to wait.
