I’m 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

    Not OP, not from the US and never been in Japan but I travel a lot in general: always assume local currency, at the very least it’s going to be cheaper and quite probably only very touristy places or airport only might accept $$. Here you can pre-order cash at your local bank and return any excess notes after. Exchange booths are usually a rip-off, and withdrawal abroad might cost extra, check with your bank.

    Also don’t assume people speak English. They might, but treat that as a bonus.
