How this edition works
Every page is one situation: what to do first, what it costs, what to say and what travellers usually get wrong. Nothing here assumes you speak Japanese, and nothing assumes you have time to read.
The rest of the edition — hidden Japan, cities, restaurants, planning, what opened in 2026 — is published in Portuguese and still worth a look: the maps, prices and links work in any language.
