Travel Notes:

For mosquito/bug bites! you can buy those at any drug store, they're really effective at treating them.

*warning* it will be hard to find garbage bins in Japan, Convenience Stores will usually have some at the entrances tho!

Not many washrooms have hand drying stuff. it's good to carry a handkerchief or tissue pack.

You don't have to get all of your cash ahead of time! Convenience store ATMs let you withdraw from foreign accounts (usually at really good exchange rates too!)

If you have an iPhone, it's very easy to add a transit/cash card in your Apple Wallet. Click here for instructions on how.

Many businesses will take money stored on transit cards, if you see this icon near the register, they accept it!

Don't wait around at restaurants to pay! Almost all restaurants have you pay your bill at a register near the entrance, so once you get your bill you can just get up and pay."
