Free tools for a trip to Japan, in the order you’ll need them

Each tool is a stop on the route, from your visa to your tax refund, numbered like Tokyo’s station numbers: E for entry, P for packing, T for transport, F for food and M for money. Every result links to the government or operator page it is based on.
