1-a. Welcome to Japan!!!
Thank you for joining Japan Mid-Semester Module 2011.
Our main objective is to learn the diversity, one of our core values, from the actual experience in
Japan. We hope to provide you with an introduction to Japanese culture, society and business. We
have an exciting itinerary planned for the tour which we can explore the characteristics of Japan
from various points of view.
We look forward to sharing ten days with you and hope to create lifetime memories.
To make this trip fruitful and enjoyable for everyone, we ask for your cooperation with the following:
1-b. Important things to know

Read this handbook beforehand and bring it with you to the trip
This handbook will help you to prepare for the trip and will also navigate you through your stay in
Japan. Please read through this handbook beforehand and bring it with you to the trip.

-
Do not forget to bring the following
Passport (You are not required to show your ID when you order alcohol. But some clubs/bars may
require you to show ID. A copy of your passport may be helpful. US drivers license does not work
as ID in Japan.)
I-20 (for non-US students)
Airline tickets (between US and Japan)
Cash (Exchange your dollars to Yen at Narita Airport)
Dress (formal for alumni dinner, business formal and business casual for company visits)
Name Badge (Necessary for alumni dinner)
Something warm to wear
Umbrella
This handbook
Digital camera
Electric adapter
Small carrying bag;
You will need a smaller bag to carry your personal belongings because your luggage is
supposed to be shipped to the next destinations on Day 5 & 8. You are not able to bring
your big luggage in Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet train) due to space limitation.
-

-
-
Cash/Card
Cash is usually the best form of payment
The amount you need depends on how much you are going to spend and what kind of extra
activities you are going to do. Foods are almost at the same price as US. Taxi is expensive (almost
twice as much).
Be aware that most stations, some restaurants and smaller stores do not take credit cards.
US/European ATM cards may not work in Japan.
Tips are NOT required anywhere. Pay at the cashier, not at the table in restaurants.

Attendance to official activities
Attendance to all the official activities and events are mandatory. Regarding your attire for
company visits, please follow the instruction for each visit on the following schedule parts.

For ladies: Don’t wear shoes with heels higher than 5 cm (2 inch) when you visit Nissan and
Toyota. We are required to follow this because of safety regulation in their sites.

On time arrival
Please be on time, meaning 5 minutes earlier, for any scheduled events. We will be departing at
the appointed hour. We will leave you behind! In case of lateness, please call one of organizers’
cell phones.
4

No food and beverage/ No Camera/ No cell phone during the company visits
Please do not bring any food, beverage and gum during company visits. This behavior is
considered to be rude.
You are not allowed to take pictures in offices and factories we are going to visit.
Please turn off or set silent mode your cell phone and refrain from answering calls during
company visits. Leave them in the bus when we visit Toyota.

Mobile Phone/ Internet
Most tourists in Japan use rental phones. You can rental and return a mobile phone at Narita
International Airport. If you use your own cell phone via US to call someone/some place in
Japan, put “81” as a country code and drop the first “0” in the number.
You are basically charged to use internet in almost all hotels we are going to stay.
Don’t expect that you can use free Wi-Fi in public spaces such as McDonald’ and Starbucks.


Power Plug
Power voltage in Japan is 100V. Plug form is different from US’s. Bring a transformer and/or
convertor with you, if necessary.

Taxis
Cabs are expensive (initial charge for about 1.25 miles of 710 JPY); probably twice as much
as that of US
Get in and out of taxi on the curb-side only
4 people maximum per cab
If the lamp on the dash is lit red, the car is open
Be careful, the center of Tokyo can be extremely busy
Watch out because the door of rear seats opens and closes automatically; do not attempt to
open or close the door yourself when you get in and out
No Tip is required but be ready to put your luggage on board by yourself
Be sure that you have all of your belongings when you leave the taxi
Do not expect drivers to help your baggage off.

Trains
Trains and subways are definitely the cheapest way to go around
Be careful, there are hundreds of stations just in Tokyo area. See Maps on Page 40 and 41.
Train stations in Tokyo is usually never far away no matter where you are (10-15 min. walk)
Buy tickets at vending machine – don’t throw out your ticket! You’ll need it when you exit the
station!
Don’t speak through your cell phone in a train! This is considered to be a breach of manners
in Japan.
If you find yourself lost, fell free to ask help (Tasukete!). Japanese people tend to be very
helpful in this regard; English is quite limited (Eigo!), so you may have to ask to multiple
people.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to contact the organizers.

Where to board
Please obtain your bus boarding tickets at Airport Limousine Ticketing Counter and then come to the designated
bus stop shown on the ticket. Airport Limousine Bus Stops are shown in color on the map.

-
Option2: Narita Express (NEX) (Train): The fare is 3,110 yen. If you will visit some other places
before checking in Shinagawa Prince Hotel, NEX is probably more convenient than Airport
Limousine because it goes to Tokyo Station, Shibuya Station etc other than Shinagawa Station.
Shinagawa Prince Hotel is located in front of Shinagawa Station (2 minutes walk, see the map on
the next page) so you can easily find it. Exit from “Takanawa” gate, not “Konan” gate at Shinagawa
Station.
-
Option3: Taxi (Safe but Not recommended because it is too expensive): You can take a fixed
rate taxi for 4 people at the airport, which costs about 20,000 yen for single way.
Suggested restaurants around Shinagawa Station
There are many restaurants in two shopping buildings, Atre Shinagawa and Shinagawa Intercity.
You will find Starbucks, bakery, cafe, McDonald’s, American dinning, Italian, Chinese and more.
Of course Japanese such as sushi-bar, syochu-bar, udon and soba.
Enter Shinagawa Station building from “Takanawa” gate. Go through the station building and you can
find Atre Shinagawa on your left. Go out from “Konan” gate and you can find Shinagawa Intercity on
your right. Everything is within a walking distance.

Tokyo Sightseeing Tour:

Sightseeing spots:
Asakusa: For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa was the
major entertainment district in Tokyo. The golden years of
Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Kawabata's novel The Scarlet
Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). It has now
been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in
its role as a pleasure district. Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist
temple located in Asakusa. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of
its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after
World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.The Kaminarimon
("Thunder Gate") is the outer of two large entrance gates that ultimately leads to the Sensō-ji
in Asakusa. The gate, with its lantern and statues, is popular with tourists.
Sumida River Cruise: Sumida River sightseeing ships operate
every 30 to 60 minutes from Asakusa Pier via Hama Rikyu
Garden to Hinode Pier.
Tokyo Tower: Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation
tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.5 meters
(1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world
and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel
Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international
orange to comply with air safety regulations. Built in 1958, the tower's
main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over
150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. Foot Town,
a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums,
restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two
observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at
150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a
height of 250 meters (820 ft). The tower acts as a support structure
for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed
in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such
as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television
broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high
enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller
digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011.

Kyoto Group Tour:
Sanjusangendo: Sanjusangendo is the popular name for
Rengeo-in, a temple in eastern Kyoto which is famous for its 1001
statues of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. The temple was founded
in 1164 and its present structures date from 1266. The main hall,
which houses the statues, is with over 100 meters Japan's longest
wooden structure. In its center sits one large Kannon, flanked on
each side by 500 smaller statues, standing in neat rows side by
side, each as tall as a human being.
Kinkaku-ji Temple (Golden Pavilion): Kinkaku-ji, the “Golden
Temple”, is one of Kyoto’s best-known attractions, and is listed on
the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1994. Kinkaku-ji was
originally built in 1397 as a villa for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358 –
1408), third Ashikaga Shogun. It was composed of several
buildings, including a replica of the imperial palace’s Shishin-den
Hall. 11 years after Yoshimitsu’s death, the villa was converted into
a Buddhist temple of the Rinzai sect, with Muso Kokushi
appointed as abbot, following Yoshimitsu’s will. On 2nd July 1950, a 21 year-old monk, and student
at Otani University, set fire to the Kinkaku-ji. The temple was burned to the ground, and the young
man arrested. He confessed that he wanted to die in the flames. The story was immortalized by
writer Mishima Yukio in his novel “The Temple of the Golden Pavillion”. The temple was entirely
reconstructed in its original form in 1955, extending the gold-foil covering to the lower floors as
well.
21
Kiyomizu Temple: Kiyomizudera (“Pure Water Temple”) is one
of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780
and remains associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest
sects within Japanese Buddhism. In 1994, the temple was added
to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. Kiyomizudera stands
in the wooded hills of eastern Kyoto and offers visitors a nice
view over the city from its famous wooden terrace. Below the
terrace, you can taste the spring water, which gives the temple
its name and which is said to have healing power.

Nagoya Castle: Nagoya Castle was built in
the beginning of the Edo Period for one of the
three Tokugawa family branches, the Owari.
Consequently, Nagoya developed into an
important castle town and ultimately Japan's
fourth largest city. The castle was almost
completely destroyed in the air raids of 1945.
The current ferro-concrete reconstruction
dates from 1959. The interior of the castle is
now a modern museum displaying the
castle's history. The castle park becomes a popular hanami spot during the cherry blossom
season.

4. Useful info
-a. Tokyo area guide
Suggested sightseeing spots:
Meiji-Jingu: Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu) is a shrine
dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his
consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR
Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine
and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested
area within the densely built-up city. The spacious
shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a
relaxing stroll. Emperor Meiji was the first emperor of
modern Japan. He was born in 1852 and ascended to
the throne in 1867 at the peak of the Meiji Restoration when Japan's feudal era came to an end
and the emperor was restored to power. During the Meiji Period, Japan modernized and
westernized herself to join the world's major powers by the time Emperor Meiji passed away in
1912. Meiji Jingu is one of the Japan's most popular shrines. In the first days of the New Year, the
shrine regularly welcomes more than three million visitors for the year's first prayers (hatsumode),
more than any other shrine or temple in the country. During the rest of the year, traditional Shinto
weddings can often be seen taking place there.
Harajyuku: Harajuku refers to the area around Tokyo's
Harajuku Station, which is between Shinjuku and
Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's
most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but
also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights.
The focal point of Harajuku's teenage culture is Takeshita
Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are
lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used
clothes stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets geared
towards the fashion and trend conscious teens.
Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) is a narrow, roughly
400-meter-long street lined by shops, boutiques, cafes
and fast food outlets targeting Tokyo's teenagers. Because of the street's popularity, it becomes
extremely busy and crowded on the weekends. Interesting shops and restaurants can also be
found along some of the side streets.
Imperial Palace: This Japanese castle is the home to the Japanese
emperor and the imperial Family, the Imperial Palace. From the 17th
century until the Meiji Restoration, it was used as the impregnable
fortress of the ruling shogunate. Large portions of it were destroyed in
the transfer of power from shogun back to emperor during the Meiji
Restoration. The Imperial East Garden is entered though one of three
gates, the most popular gate being Otemon, which was once the
principle of Edo-jo.
Akihabara: Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic,
computer, a nime, and otaku goods, including new and used
items. New items are mostly to be found on the main street,
Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the back streets
of Soto Kanda 3-chōme. First-hand parts for PC-building are
readily available from a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts,
wires, micronized cameras and similar items are found in the
cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme (near the station).
Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other specialty shops near the station,
29
though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further
away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the
first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics. Akihabara is also
known
for cosplay cafe restaurants. Try them!
Odaiba: Odaiba is a large artificial island in
Tokyo Bay, Japan, across the Rainbow
Bridge from central Tokyo It is a popular
shopping and sightseeing destination for
Tokyoites and tourists alike. Some major
attractions include:
Fuji Television studios with a distinctive
building designed by Kenzo Tange
Decks Tokyo Beach shopping mall, featuring Sega Joypolis and Little Hong Kong
Aqua City shopping center
A replica of the Statue of Liberty
One of two beaches in urban Tokyo (swimming not recommended), along with Kasai Rinkai
Park in Edogawa Ward
Rainbow Bridge connecting Odaiba to the heart of Tokyo
-
Venus Fort, a Venice-themed shopping mall
Daikanransha, a 115-metre (377 ft) Ferris wheel
Kabuki: Kabuki (歌舞伎) is the highly stylized classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is
known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its
performers. The individual kanji characters, from left to right, mean sing (歌), dance (舞), and skill
(伎). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." These are,
however, ateji characters which do not reflect actual etymology. The kanji of 'skill', however,
generally refers to a performer in kabuki theatre. Since the word kabuki is believed to derive from
the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean" or "to be out of the ordinary", kabuki can be interpreted as
"avant-garde" or "bizarre" theatre.[1] The expression kabukimono (歌舞伎者) referred originally to
those who were bizarrely dressed and swaggered on a street.
Tsukiji Fish Market: Tsukiji Central Wholesale Market
is a large market for fish, fruits and vegetables in
central Tokyo. It is the most famous of over ten
wholesale markets that handle the distribution of fish,
meat, produce and flowers in metropolitan Tokyo.
Tsukiji Mark et is best known as one of the world's
largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of
marine products per day. The sight of the many kinds
of fresh fish and other seafood and the busy
atmosphere of scooters, trucks, sellers and buyers hurrying around, make Tsukiji Market a major
tourist attraction. In fact, the numbers of visitors have increased so much over recent years, so that
they have become a problem to the course of business because the aging market's infrastructure
was not anticipated to serve as a tourist spot. The wholesale area consists of hundreds of small
stands in a large, crowded hall, where buyers and sellers hurry along narrow lanes with their carts
and trucks. It is an exciting area for tourists to view and photograph the fish and the action, but it is
also an area where tourists are likely to interfere with the professionals working there. Instead of
30
visiting the inner market, tourists are encouraged to visit Tsukiji's outer market, which is located
just adjacent to the inner market and caters to the public. The outer market consists of a few
blocks of small retail shops and restaurants crowded along narrow lanes. Here you can find all
sorts of food related goods, knives and fresh seafood and produce for sale in smaller (than
wholesale) portions.
Ginza: The Ginza is Tokyo's most famous up market
shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring
numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries,
restaurants, night club s and cafes. One square meter of
land in the district's center is worth over ten million yen,
making it one of the most expensive real estate in Japan.
It is where you can find the infamous $10 cups of coffee
and where virtually every leading brand name in fashion
and cosmetics has a presence.
Shinjuku: Shinjuku is one of the 23 city wards of Tokyo,
but the name commonly refers to just the large
entertainment, business and shopping area around
Shinjuku Station. Shinjuku Station is the world's
busiest railway station, handling more than two million
passengers every day. It is served by about a dozen
railway and subway lines, including the JR Yamanote
Line. Shinjuku is also one of Tokyo's major stops for
long-distance highway buses and city buses. West of
the station is Shinjuku's skyscraper district, many of
Tokyo's tallest buildings, including several premier hotels and the twin towers of the Metropolitan
Government Office, whose observation decks are open to the public for free. Northeast of the
station lies Kabukicho, Japan's largest and wildest red light district, while department stores,
subterranean malls and electronic shops surround Shinjuku Station on all four sides, including the
recently redeveloped Southern Terrace.
Shibuya: Shibuya is one of the
twenty-three city wards of Tokyo, but
often refers to just the popular
shopping and entertainment area
found around Shibuya Station. In this
regard, Shibuya is one of Tokyo's most
colorful and busy districts, packed with
shopping, dining and nightclubs
serving swarms of visitors that come to
the district every day. Shibuya is a
center for youth fashion and culture,
and its streets are the birthplace to many of Japan's fashion and entertainment trends. Over a
dozen major department store branches can be found around the area catering to all types of
shoppers. Most of the area's large department and fashion stores belong to either Tokyu or Seibu,
two competing corporations. A prominent landmark of Shibuya is the large intersection in front of
the station's Hachiko Exit. The intersection is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant
video screens and gets flooded by pedestrians each time the crossing light turns green, making it
a popular photo and movie filming spot.
Roppongi: Roppongi (六本木, lit. "six trees") is a district in
Tokyo that is well known as the city's most popular nightlife
district among foreigners, offering a large number of
foreigner friendly bars, restaurants and night clubs.
Roppongi and the surrounding districts of Azabu, Hiroo and
Akasaka are home to many embassies s and a large expat
community. Two of Tokyo's largest recent redevelopment
31
projects, Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown changed the district's face over the past decade and
expanded Roppongi's appeal to a wider range of visitors and residents with their elegant retail,
leisure and residential space, offices and luxury hotels. Thanks to the appearance of several art
museums, Roppongi has also developed a reputation as a cultural center. The National Art Center
is Japan's largest art museum, and together with Roppongi Hills' Mori Art Museum and Tokyo
Midtown's Suntory Museum of Art forms the "Art Triangle Roppongi”.
Ameyoko: Ameyoko is a busy market street along the
Yamanote line tracks between Okachimachi and Ueno
Station, the site of a black market after World War Two.
The name "Ameyoko" is a short form for "Ameya
Yokocho" (candy store alley), as candies were
traditionally sold there. Alternatively, "Ame" also stands
for "America", because a lot of American products used
to be available on the black market. Today, various
products such as clothes, bags, cosmetics, fresh fish,
dried food and spices are sold along Ameyoko.
Opening hours and closing days depend on individual stores, but stores typically open around
10:00 and close around 19:00. Many stores remain closed on selected Wednesdays.
Suggested restaurants:
The easiest way to look around a restaurant is either go to a big station such as Tokyo Station,
Shibuya Station or Shinjuku Station, or go to a large scale shopping building such as Shinagawa
Atre, Ginza departments stores, Roppongi Hills or Tokyo Midtown.
You will find various kinds of restaurants such as American, Italian and, of course, Japanese
restaurants and you shouldn’t have any problem in finding your favorite one.

-b. Kyoto area guide
Suggested sightseeing spots:
Nijo Palace: This world heritage site was the home of
Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the most powerful men in Japan. The
castle was built as a residence and not for defense purpose.
However, to protect the shogun from enemies, special creaky
floorboards (called ‘nightingale’ floors) were installed to warn
of anyone approaching. Surrounded by two moats this
residence contains two palaces and a vast garden. Any fan of
ninja movies will recognize the features, it’s pretty funny to
hear the squeaking of the floor boards when a crowd of people walk down the hall.
.
Fushimi Inari-Taisha: Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the head shrine of Inari, located in
Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a
mountain also named Inari, and includes trails up the mountain
to many smaller shrines. Because Inari is the god of business,
each of the Torii is donated by a Japanese business. Merchants
and manufacturers worship Inari for wealth. Donated torii lining
footpaths are part of the scenic view. This popular shrine is said
to have as many as 40,000 sub-shrines (matsuji) throughout
Japan.
