Japan uses the Japanese yen (JPY) as its currency. While credit and debit cards are widely accepted in major cities and large establishments, many smaller shops, restaurants, and rural areas prefer cash. Therefore, travelers are advised to carry cash for convenience and to ensure smooth transactions.
In Osaka, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing in crowded areas such as Dotonbori and busy train stations. Common scams include overpriced taxi rides, so it’s advisable to use metered taxis or ride-hailing apps. Additionally, some bars and clubs may pressure travelers into expensive bills, so it’s important to confirm prices upfront. Overall, Osaka is considered safe, but staying alert in busy tourist spots helps prevent common issues.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
