Hello folks,

I've just booked for Japan in May, and apparantly there are already lots of bookings! How about you drop by and say Hello ;-)

This will be my second justyou holiday, but I have never been to Japan before. I have been to China, a few years ago. I can't wait..!

So anyway, hello and I look forward to meeting you.

Hello Monica!

Nice to (virtually) meet you. What would you like to know?

I always think the motto "carry half as many clothes and twice as much dosh as you think you'll need" applies here 😉 Don't tend to bother with travellers cheques, they're old-fashioned and not many banks use them (in my experience, don't know about Japan)

Socialising will be ok, everyone is in the same boat on their own.....

Be careful when packing, don't include any liquids in hand luggage.....

have I missed anything?

Hella Sarah,

Thanks for the tip,

I always pack too much.As for the money side i was thinking cash and my credit card as ive read its a safe country with a low crime rate, Ive always wanted to go to Japan but never met anyone else who wanted to.

A friend told me about just you holidays last year but only just plucked up the courage to book.

Thanks again.

Monica

I too am booked for the holiday to Japan next month! I have never been to the Far East before and have been told Japan will be very different! This will be my 3rd Just You holiday, the others were to Canada and also Italy, both holidays were really good and you never feel left out there is always someone to chat to and all of us are in the 'same boat'?

Just wish this holiday could have been a few more days as there is so much to see?
