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!)

Sorry for the scary under-lighting! 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! This is just the way I do it! :)
