While not only Asia but many regions around the world are suffering because of the severe
and well-known financial and economic crisis, it is important to act for the recovery and
future growth of the companies’ business. In Japan, after many years of sluggish expansion
and natural disasters, many companies are actually increasing their competitiveness in the
manufacturing field even in comparison with the low cost labor countries.
TPS (Toyota Production System) led Kaizen in quality, productivity, cost and time reduction,
environment friendly technologies… are improving company profits and image. That is why
we think that a study and training tour, visiting some process and assembly industry plants
of these Japanese organizations could help the companies to get some hints and lessons
to learn.

Useful Information
Electricity: The voltage used throughout Japan is uniformly 100 volts, A.C.
There are two kinds of frequencies in use; 50 Hertz in eastern Japan and 60
Hertz in western Japan (including Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka). There are no
columnar-shaped plugs or 3-pin plugs used in Japan but 2-flat-pin plugs are
used instead. It is therefore advised to purchase a plug adapter beforehand.
Money : The Japanese currency is named YEN. There are coins 1, 5, 10,
50, 100 and 500 yen and notes of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen. You
can buy yen at foreign exchange banks and other authorized money
exchangers. There is no relevant differences in rates between money
exchangers.
International credit cards and Travelers Checks are accepted by leading
banks, hotels and stores in major cities. However, credit card are not always
convenient so obtaining some cash beforehand is recommended.
ATMs: There are Post Office ATMs in Japan which display stickers indicating
which cards are accepted. Seven Bank ATMs are placed at 7-Eleven
convenience stores and the service will be given 24 hours a day in English,
Korean, Chinese and Portuguese Guidance.
Japan has a 8% consumption tax which is levied on all goods and services
purchased in Japan, including food. In addition to the consumption tax, a 10-
15% service charge is added to the bill at most hotels and first-class
restaurants.
Domestic/International Calls: Public telephones accept 10 yen and 100 yen
coins and/or telephone cards. A local call costs 10 yen per minute. If you put in
two 10-yen coins and speak for less than one minute, one of the coins will be
returned to you. No change is given for partial use of a 100 yen coin. Prepaid
telephone cards cost 1,000 yen from kiosks at train stations and convenience
stores. Charges for inter-city calls vary according to the distance. A direct
overseas call can be made from a public telephone displaying an International
and Domestic Telephone sign. These phones are not widespread, but can be
found at airports, hotels, and other key facilities. Direct dial calls can be made
via a telephone company using the company's access number.
Luggage: Recommended to pack lightly traveling around Japan. Most trains
do not provide space for bulky luggage. Overhead shelves on shinkansen
trains are about 40cm high and 60cm deep and cannot accommodate large
items. Furthermore, on many shinkansen trains the leg room is large enough
to place a suitcase in front of you, although this may not be the most
comfortable solution.
