Thanks for the detailed reply, Samurai!

I'm going on a working holiday visa which allows me to do part time work. I'll ask about traveler's cheques. I hear various advice from different people on this so it's confusing. Do you think I could bring about 70k+ yen through customs?

Yes I think I will get that response in restaurants. I plan to cook for myself mainly. My homestay family is going to charge me per meal anyway so better to feed myself.

3. Is there much free wi-fi in main cities in Japan?

Thanks again.
