Also make sure:
- Passports have 6+ months validity beyond your return date
- You carry a confirmed onward/return ticket for the visa application and immigration
💱 Currency
Indicative rate: 1 INR ≈ 0.54 JPY — I'd suggest carrying a mix of cash (many smaller Osaka eateries are cash-only) and a travel card.
Want me to tighten the budget further, add a Kobe beef splurge night, or adjust the hotel to something cheaper to free up cash for activities?
