Kite Museum
This fascinating museum is an absolute must for any child who
loves kites, or any adult who has ever flown a kite. The Kite
Museum exhibits mainly traditional style Japanese kites, 'Edo
Nishiki-E Dako' as well as other kites from around Asia. Kites are
made from bamboo and a Japanese handmade paper called 'washi' which
is surprisingly strong. Featuring over 3,000 kites, this museum is
a must for all kite enthusiasts.

Language
Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people
will have studied English at school, but few can speak it well or
understand what is said to them.
Money
The currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is equal to 100
sen. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and
stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to
3pm. Travellers cheques offer the best exchange rate and are best
taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
