I am clearing out my iphone before our November trip. I want to download all the apps that will help make the trip amd save as much room as posssible for photos or video i might want to take quickly instead of usimg my Cannon.
So far I am downloading the following.
1. Hyperida
2. Trip Advisor
3 Google maps.
What else should I consider? I would love a food guide for local resturant ratings, and maybe a good all round guide?
What do you recommend as a must have app?
We will be in Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto.

As long as you have a phone that will work in Japan by using WiFi in any form (free or rental) or have a data simcard, then yes. Any app on your phone should work. They do for me when I rent a MiFi.
