LANDING TOOLKIT

Nine things to settle before you go.

Keep an official fallback ready instead of assuming a service will work.

01Changes often

Foreign-issued cards, cash and exchange

Some small local businesses may be cash-only. Exchange at the airport or locate an ATM that officially accepts overseas-issued cards.

  • Seven Bank and Japan Post Bank support several international card networks
  • A matching logo does not guarantee acceptance; issuer limits and fees may apply
  • Check airport counter hours and supported currencies before exchanging
02Changes often

Aqua Coin, Kisarazu's local currency

This app-based payment is designed to welcome use by visitors as well as residents and works at participating businesses in Kisarazu. Aqua Pay requires no bank-account registration.

  • Charge the app, then scan the participating merchant's QR code to pay
  • Check merchants, top-up methods, expiry and conditions in the official app or website
  • Presented as an ongoing payment option, separately from limited-time reward campaigns
03

Suica, PASMO and other transport IC cards

Useful on participating railways, buses and shops. Limited express tickets and some services still require a separate purchase.

  • IC support is confirmed on each highway-bus operator page listed here
  • Stay within the JR East Suica area and watch for travel across IC areas
  • Carry a little cash for topping up and exceptions
04Changes often

Leave large luggage before exploring

Haneda and Narita offer storage, delivery and lockers. Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu also lists free lockers and baggage services.

  • Recheck opening hours, dimensions, availability and delivery area that day
  • Highway buses may refuse baggage because of its size or quantity
05Changes often

  • Be ready to state your location, condition or incident, and callback number
  • The Japan Visitor Hotline also assists with accidents, illness and disasters
08Changes often

Rental cars and legal driving eligibility

A foreign licence alone is not always sufficient. Confirm whether you need a Japanese licence, an eligible IDP, or an eligible foreign licence with an official Japanese translation.

  • Check National Police Agency rules and the permitted driving period
  • Use official airport pages for rental counters and opening hours
  • Request an ETC card, child seat and return location when booking
09Changes often

Aqua-Line tolls and congestion

ETC tolls vary by weekday or holiday, direction, time and vehicle. The time-based pricing trial continues through fiscal 2026.

FAQ

Answers before you set off.

Can I travel directly from Haneda Airport to Kisarazu?

Yes. Highway buses run from Haneda's terminals toward Sodegaura Bus Terminal and Kisarazu Station. Recheck the timetable, terminal stop and ticket instructions on the operator's official page that day.

Does the direct bus from Narita Airport run every day?

No. When checked on August 10, 2026, the Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu route was limited to weekends and holidays. If it does not match your date, use JR via Chiba or consider a rental car.

Can I travel with only a foreign-issued card and Suica?

They work at many major facilities, but cash may be needed at small shops or for some IC-card top-ups. Locate a Seven Bank or Japan Post Bank ATM and keep some Japanese yen as backup.

What should I do if my child becomes ill on a holiday?

Call 119 for a life-threatening condition. Otherwise, find a holiday facility and phone to confirm the department and same-day acceptance. The JNTO Visitor Hotline supports English, Chinese and Korean 24/7.
