I mentioned several months ago that the internet has greatly enhanced our lives as ex-pats here in Japan - we have greater access to things, such as imported foods and information.
I'm listing a few useful links here, which people in Japan or visitors to Japan might find useful:
Books
Amazon Japan (with a pretty good English version)
Infinity Books - an online used English book store in Japan (English)
Food
The Flying Pig - this company allows you to shop online at Costco (via The Flying Pig - English)
Ambika Japan - great Indian food, online, in Japan (English)
Allied Thai - great Thai food, online, in Japan (Japanese only)
Yamaya - order wine online (Japanese only)
Village Cellars - order wine via their catalog (Bilingual)
Travel
Japan National Tourist Organization - a lot of information for visitors to Japan (English)
Japan Inn Group - a wide variety of affordable Japanese inns throughout Japan (English)
News
Japan Today - has reader comments (English)
NHK - very up-to-date (English)

My friend Farhana is coming to Japan for a week on a business trip. She will mostly be escorted the whole time so I'm not too worried about her. But I have forgotten whether or not she will need an adapter to work her hair dryer. What's the story?
The voltage is different (a little lower here), but the hairdryer will work fine in the short term. I used mine that I brought over for two years before it died!
