SummaryCosts: Kyoto is cheaper than Tokyo and

other similar large cities.

Tipping is unnecessary in Japan!

Service is a priority in Japan: “The Customer is God.”

Safety: Japan’s crime rate is very low.

Subways are well-lit and easily navigable.

Most residents understand simple English if asked a question.

Cleanliness: Spotless trains and graffiti-less streets make for a pleasant stay in Kyoto.
