To serve the many Taiwanese travelers, the center even thoughtfully provides staff who speak Traditional Chinese. Of course, there are also staff who can communicate in Japanese, English, Korean, and more, ensuring smooth communication. Even better, the service center has many thoughtful facilities, such as free Wi-Fi, ATMs that accept certain Taiwan-issued bank cards for direct yen withdrawals, Chinese-language interface computers, printers, photocopiers, and even a booth where you can try on a Japanese kimono for free.
