Field recommendations
- Load Suica or Pasmo transit cards onto your smartphone digital wallet prior to departure.
- Identify the nearest emergency shelter or open-space evacuation zone relative to your accommodation.
- Keep cash on hand, as some smaller neighborhood dining establishments and older transport ticket machines do not accept international credit cards.
- Download the Japan Meteorological Agency's safety app or a reliable regional earthquake notification tool.
- Ensure your mobile device supports global roaming or secure pocket-WiFi rental for continuous connectivity.
- Familiarize yourself with local customs regarding sorting municipal waste and quiet transit etiquette.
- Retain paper copies of your hotel address in Japanese characters to assist taxi drivers or emergency personnel.

SECTION XIX — Embassy / Consular Guidance
Before travel, check your country's official foreign ministry or embassy website for emergency assistance information.
Scam Patterns
- Bottakuri (rip-off) bars. Bars advertise cheap drinks then present bills from hundreds to thousands of dollars for an hour, sometimes with intimidation. Tip: Choose bars with clearly posted prices; avoid places reached via a tout. If threatened, refuse and call police.
- Nightlife touts (kyakuhiki) in Kabukicho/Roppongi. Friendly touts ("want a drink? I know a cheap place") lead you to bars with exorbitant charges; touting is illegal in Shinjuku but common. Tip: Never follow a street tout into a bar, no matter the offer - it is the No.1 cause of nightlife scams.
SECTION XXI — Digital Security
- Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi.
- Enable 2FA on email, banking, and travel accounts.
- Back up document scans to a private cloud and a paper copy stored separately.
- Avoid unknown USB ports and charging stations.
- Keep automatic OS updates on; enable remote-wipe on your phone.
SECTION XXII — Money Safety
- Carry a backup payment card stored separately from your wallet.
- Use bank-lobby ATMs in daylight; cover the keypad.
- Keep a small amount of local cash for emergencies.
- Watch for skimmers and shoulder-surfers around ATMs and payment terminals.
- Use card-tap for transit and payments where possible to limit card-present exposure.
