Use Public Transport
Tokyo is a big city with lots to see – and the most cost-effective way to navigate through all of it is to use the public transport systems available. There’s an overground, underground, and bus system available here, all of which can be accessed with a rechargeable travel card.
The Language
If you’re staying at a centrally-located service apartment Tokyo Shinjuku has on offer – for instance, the Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo – you’re sure to have noticed that there are quite a few English speakers all around you. Still, it’s good to have a translation app downloaded onto your phone during your travels.
Get a Wi-Fi Device
Getting a Wi-Fi device that you can carry with you is almost essential here in Tokyo. In the city, very few places offer free Wi-Fi, so you’ll need to carry a device with you if you plan on staying connected to the internet.
Keep to the Left
One thing you might have to get used to when you arrive in Japan initially is that you’re supposed to walk and drive on the left. The same applies to stairs and escalators – so just be mindful of that fact.
