I think the fastest and most effective way to find them is online. But if you want to find them face to face, then go to a bar that is popular among foreigners is the most effective I think.

I would suggest Shinkansen train from Tokyo station to Sapporo. You can take a plane (faster and cheaper than Shinkansen), but Shinkansen can enjoy the view of Japan!

How about Tofu? As you know that Tofu could be eatable anywhere else in Japan, but that the Tofu that was made by Kyoto's high-quality clear water is a highly recommendable to eat.

I would say Suica. I had a Suica card and could use it in Kansai area without a problem. But you cannot use the Suica card for Shinkansen train. For the other purpose, Suica was useful!

You can exchange the currency at the banks, post offices, currency exchange booths in Japan. But most of the rates and commissions are almost the same. However, I think that Daikokuya (大黒屋) could be the best place to change the currency among them.http://shop.e-daikoku.com/info/spot/list?c_dcflg1...
