Here’s something that I’ve never come across. Cellphone rentals.

In japan they have their own phone system which does not support any other providers. My rogers phone doesn’t get any coverage in japan. So when we arrived we needed to rent a phone so Carrie’s friends could contact us during our stay.

The rental fee is ¥200 per day and ¥4/sec of outgoing calls. Incoming calls are free.

The lady at the counter was kind and courteous. As I believe that all people in the service industry will be in Tokyo.
