Hi, you people really rock - thanks again for more feedback, suggestions and corrections! One thing I found out is that the combination of a WiFi/LTE gateway with a local SIM card, the various free WiFi options and perhaps a data roaming option on your phone can take you very far. Free WiFi is really proliferating in Japan - have not seen it at that scale in any other country. Kyoto has free WiFi at every single bus stop... I have updated the page as follows: - V1.16: added warning about taxis -- and a few hints for vegetarians - V1.17: o correction for maglev train company (it's JR-Central, not JR-East) -- thanks Martin Dürst o increased success probability for getting cash at 7-Eleven ATMs, mentioned Citibank as an alternative, mentioned PASSMO NFC cards, mentioned HyperDia, explained how to use reservations with a Japan Rail Pass, added warning about supported devices with b-mobile, mentioned hot drinks in vending machines, mentioned need for personal towel -- thanks to Benn Oshrin - V1.18: mentioned need for umbrellas, mentioned Gurunavi for finding restaurants - V1.19: more on free Wifi, mentioned online reservation option for JR East Shinkansen trains, added information on city buses Let me know if you have additional feedback or questions.

Oktober 2015 16:10 To: 94attendees@ietf.org Subject: Re: [94attendees] Big in Japan: Some Essential Travel Tips Hi, thanks for the positive feedback and additional suggestions. With some new first-hand experience, I have updated this now as follows: - V1.10: added info about ATM in 7-Eleven, free Wifi in Lawson, and about convenience stores and grocery stores in the food section - V1.11: added info about NTT free Wifi app - V1.12: added info about VAT reclaiming option in Shopping section - V1.13: added info about vending machines - V1.14: added info about Google Maps - V1.15: added more free WiFi information and breakfast options. Added info about other NFC parts in Central/West Japan Let me know if you have additional feedback or questions.

Oktober 2015 11:03 To: 94attendees@ietf.org<mailto:94attendees@ietf.org> Subject: [94attendees] Big in Japan: Some Essential Travel Tips Hi, I have collected a few essential Japan travel tips over the past 10 years or so. Not intended as a tourist travel guide, but just some things I normally do that people might find helpful: http://dirk-kutscher.info/misc/big-in-japan-some-essential-travel-tips/ I might be able to extend this a bit - let me know if you have feedback or questions. If someone wants to adopt some of this information for the meeting Wiki, that would be fine with me. I hope you will have a great time in Yokohama! Best regards, Dirk
