Money and Banking in Japan

In your own country you are probably used to using plastic. However, be prepared as Japan is a cash culture and the cash is Yen.

You will hardly ever see someone using a credit card and ATM machines are not easy to find. Not to mention ATM machine hours depend on the individual bank and most are only open from 8am to 10pm with limited hours for Sundays and public holidays. So it is wise to check in advance and know what hours your bank and their cash machines are open so you do not get stuck without money. Banks do not charge a fee for deposits or withdrawals within business hours. However, there is a 105 yen fee if you use these services outside business hours.

Danielle Bowes “Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
