Terms of Use
By downloading or using First Time in Japan, you agree to these Terms of Use.
What the app provides
First Time in Japan is an informational travel handbook. It offers practical guidance for common situations first-time visitors may face in Japan, including arrival tasks, payments, trains, food, etiquette, and emergencies. Some pages are free. The rest unlock with a one-time purchase.
Practice simulators
The app includes practice tools for Visit Japan Web, restaurant ticket machines, train ticket gates, and Shinkansen tickets. These simulators are for learning only. They are not connected to any government website, railway company, or restaurant system. Nothing you type in a simulator is submitted, saved as a real application, or used to buy a real ticket.
Not professional advice
The app is for general information only. It is not legal, immigration, medical, or financial advice. Laws, apps, fares, and procedures can change. Always verify critical information with official sources, your embassy, hotel, airline, or qualified professionals. Complete real Visit Japan Web, visa, and customs steps on official government sites.

Emergency contact numbers (including 110, 119, and visitor hotlines) are provided for convenience. In a real emergency, call local emergency services immediately and follow instructions from authorities.
