Haha I’m actually shocked at exactly how little I’ve had to pay upfront.

Paid for flights
Paid for Sumo Ticket
Buy rail pass upon arrival at airport
Buy lift tickets daily
Pay on arrival for Myoko accommodation
20% deposit for Nozawa accommodation
Pay on arrival for Tokyo accommodation
Found ~9000yen stashed in my cupboard from last trip!

I didn’t have to pay yet, but the last time I held off in payment, the dollar went from buyin 85jpy - 55jpy by the time I paid the balance!!!!!

I thought that it was gonna recover, but I was WRONG!!!!!

So this time I locked it all in at 82jpy, and look what happens!!!!! Faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!  rage

At least I’ll be able to drink more beer, and eat more sushi!!!!!!  LOL

How to obtain a JAPAN RAIL PASS
    A JAPAN RAIL PASS cannot be purchased inside Japan.
You must purchase an Exchange Order from an authorized sales office or agent (see “Where exchange orders are sold”) before you come to Japan.
