2. It is recommended to bring between 80,000 and 150,000 yen with you to Japan to get you through until your first paycheck. Of course, the amount of money you choose to bring should depend on how you plan to spend your free time. Keep in mind that your first paycheck may not be a full month's salary, because you may not have been working for a full month.
3. It is not advised to bring bank checks, traveler's checks, or ATM/debit cards. Cash, in Japanese yen if possible, is the best option. However, in the past some teachers have been able to use their ATM/debit cards in some places.
