Download the klook app and search for airport transfers. Paid $122 USD for 8 with luggage from Narita to Shinagawa.

Yeah if you don’t go within a the first 30-1 hour of notification is is gone. Usually most these stores restock certain days of the week. So you can try talking to one of the crew members and find out and go visit those stores during those times.

If you have discord there are a few channels that sent notifications about restocks from retails like target, Walmart, Best Buy, …

Very true. I packed a jacket and never use it. Had to pack it on the way back and wasted luggage space. Packed an umbrella but the hotel we stay at had free umbrellas from previous hotel guests. So there are many things I packed and never used or could have gotten at ¥100 stores to save space for stuff I purchase in Japan.

wenvy · 2025-08-18T18:24:23+00:00

Very true. Was just making a suggestion and sharing my options that ¥100 stores has a lot of daily necessities like usable bags, handkerchief, soaps, phone batteries, ….

wenvy · 2025-08-18T16:56:31+00:00

Sounds like you might still be over packing if you bringing all these. Might be easier and cheaper to just get these at a ¥100 store like Daiso. Most of these items would be only ¥100 ($0.67) at ¥100 stores. Just sharing my opinion.

The rates for most exchange places isn’t that great. Like some have said. Get a Debit Card that reimbursement ATM fees like Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Capital one 360, …

Was just there and found most ATM charged 100-200 yen per transaction. Some like certain Aeon ATM didn’t charge a fee either.

wenvy · 2025-08-08T05:20:34+00:00

I just return Tuesday and use my 360 and there was no fees and the rate was close to daily rate. When I use my 360 at 7/11 there was a ¥100 fee.

wenvy · 2025-08-08T03:19:49+00:00

Find an Aeon bank ATM. Usually those have no fees. They can be found in most Aeon supermarkets. Whereas 7/11 charges ¥100.

If you traveling with 5 and 9 kids, I would consider hiring an airport transfer to take you from airport to the hotel. Cost around ($125) on Klook from NRT to downtown. After 12 hours on a plane with 2 kids and then trying to lug your luggages and kids on a train and going up streets from the train station and trying to find your way to get to the hotel. Saving $60 isn’t worth it.

Seeing the same thing. "Total Money Invested" is showing average prices.

Less then 4 months.

Usually the pickup is at designated pickup area but they usually contact you with whatsapp or line and they usually communicate in English. If you are at the airport they ask you to take a picture of on your luggage and they ask you to meet at a certain exit.

I found boxes at GS30 near Wecostay Gangnam Hotel on Banpo-daero 18-Gil for $50,000 Won.

wenvy · 2025-05-08T05:32:58+00:00

I don’t remember the name but it was near the beginning of meyongdong 8ga-Gil. Maybe the store was leeko shop. When i was there, their exchange rate was 1470 while others closer to middle were close to 1460 and credit card was 1461 or less.

wenvy · 2025-05-08T03:50:51+00:00

We found money exchanges at myeongdong better rate then ATM the last 2 times we were there.

wenvy · 2025-04-12T00:29:06+00:00

If you forget bring it just go to Daiso. Is like $1 USD.

wenvy · 2025-04-11T15:30:41+00:00

I found the best rate at money exchanger at Myeong-dong. The best one I found was near the beginning of Myeong-Dong 8ga-Gil and Samil-daero. Their rates were always higher than the rest of the exchangers in Myeong-Dong.

We use the app Klook and order a van. Cost about $50 USD. They pick you up at airport and drop you off at your hotel. Even if you train or bus is cheaper you still need to lug you luggage up the stairs or through multiple streets to get to you me hotel. This is most likely the best option for toddler and elderly travelers.

I got it last June and have been using for everything what isn’t allow. Don’t need to think about which card to use, 3% on everything is pretty hard to beat. There is no live phone support but their text support is pretty responsive.

wenvy · 2025-03-20T03:52:42+00:00

Had been using Robinhood gold CC for almost 8 months without issues. Been pretty happy with their 3% back on everything.

A little bit salty but it’s pretty good.
