The closer I get to Japan, the more my research is shifting from the exciting big-picture ideas to the small practical details.
How am I getting from the airport?
How will I stay connected?
What payment methods do I need?
What do I need to complete before I arrive?
How am I getting around once I’m there?
And how much luggage do I really want to move from place to place?
None of this is particularly glamorous, but these are the pieces that can make such a difference once you actually arrive.
Because Japan is new for me, I’m taking my time with this part: researching, verifying and figuring out what I want to have settled before I leave.
I’ll keep sharing what I’m learning as the trip gets closer.
Follow along.. Japan is getting very real now.
