You can bring lunchboxes to the following rooms...

All restaurants offer competitive, good food for less than USD 10.00, including tax. In Japan, we need no tip. Please pay in cash. Since several of these do not accept credit cards, a good idea is to bring a few 1,000 Japanese yen bills every time. Nevertheless, major chain restaurants like McDonald's and Subway accept credit cards.
iOS users: the Welcome Suica Mobile app allows you to issue and top-up Suica, which is a prepaid form of electronic money that can be used for trains, buses, shopping and more!
