Sobre

Mei worked five years in a Japanese rail company's fares department before joining the desk, which is why her JR Pass maths is right and her tables are long. She covers Shinkansen pricing, IC cards, tax-free rules and what a week in Japan really costs, and she updates the numbers when the yen moves.
