Quick tip for Holiday travel and just traveling in general to Japan regarding credit cards and atm cards.
Many cities in tokyo have atm machines that take mac cards. Citi bank is your best bet. you can check the website and see which atm cards it takes.
Also visa/mastercard are best cc's to have. Discover/american express and others usually dont get accepted.
...now that i think about it discover is barley accepted any where in the states 2 haha.
any ways.
be sure to have extra traveling money and a good credit card.
Futhernote be sure to call ahead and tell your credit card company that you will be traveling to another country and accept overseas charges.
i was stuck in Narita once cuz my Credit card company kept on declining the over seas charges, i had to get on my skype and call the company up and have them authorize it personally which took an hour to do =P.
Happy holidays and safe travels, ill be in Vietnam til january 6th so i wont be posting so much after December 11.
