Human: I'm planning a trip to Japan. Do you have any tips? Assistant: 

1. Make sure to research the local customs and etiquette before going.
2. Bring cash in case of emergencies, as many places do not accept credit cards.
3. Consider bringing your own snacks and water for long trips, as convenience stores can be expensive.
4. Be mindful of how you dress and behave when visiting temples and shrines.
5. Learn some basic phrases in Japanese such as “arigato” (thank you) and “konnichiwa” (hello).
