World clock

Japan runs on one timezone (JST). Compare with home for calls and arrivals.

Japan consumption tax

Standard rate is typically 10% (some groceries 8%). Japan does not expect tipping.

Tipping is not customary in Japan — excellent service is included in the culture, not the bill.

JR Pass sense-check

Shinkansen fare estimate

Indicative one-way ordinary car averages for planning — not a booking system.
