The best way to exchange money, what clothes to bring, toiletries and food you can/can't get in Japan, and gifts! What you should take with you to Japan. Something I forgot to mention but is really important--VITAMINS!! They're VERY expensive in Japan ($30+ for one bottle!) This video ended up a bit long so here's a guide if you're only interested in certain sections: 0:11 - Passport/Visa 0:52 - Various money exchanging methods 1:45 - The best way to exchange money 3:15 - What kind of clothes you should take 5:29 - Toiletries you can/can't get in Japan 6:24 - Why you should consider bringing a pillow 6:53 - Electronics & Adapters 7:06 - Some food you can/can't get in Japan 7:58 - Gifts you should consider bringing 8:48 - What you should NOT bring to Japan (HINT: IT'S DRUGS!!)

It was getting progressively darker as I took this video and I guess I thought it would be a good idea to shine my computer right at my face. And I am not in any way being paid by Capital One or anything similar. I highly recommend doing your own research before making any decisions about money!
