Laser or waxing services around Tokyo?

I tried signing up at Musee but they wouldn't accept me because I can't speak fluent Japanese. Does anyone know any places that offer such services, even for foreigners who can't speak Japanese very well?

A good place to look for adverts with bilingual services is the Metropolis magazine. These companies below offer bilingual services. http://www.elanajade.com/ http://laplage-beauty.com/ http://nuajapan.com/

Wow, very disappointed to hear you were turned away because you don't speak fluent Japanese. Shocking really. I have heard good things about Elana Jade.

Personally used both Nua (Omotesando area) and Elena Jade (Azabu Juban) when I lived in Tokyo, both were very nice and professional. They're also both easy to access via public transport which is also handy.

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?

From October to February, the Diamond Fuji phenomenon is visible for a few days. Have you seen this sight before? Where did you watch it from? Is it close to transportation?
