Tokyo Tips

Be sure to stay here at least 2 weeks. There is so much to do.

Get a suica card either by app or your phone wallet. You can pay for buses, trains, shopping, etc with it. It’s truly amazing.

You can get yen at any 7-11 for a good exchange rate

Stay in shinjuku or shibuya If you want to be in the middle of everything.

Go to tower records, Pokémon cafe, and the Nintendo store!

... Read moreWhen visiting Tokyo, it's crucial to plan your itinerary wisely. While you're tempted to see all the sights, allowing at least two weeks gives you a chance to truly immerse yourself in the culture and activities. Get your Suica card as soon as you land; it’s not only convenient for public transport but also great for shopping at various stores and vending machines throughout the city. Don't miss the chance to experience iconic neighborhoods such as Shinjuku and Shibuya, bustling with shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Explore the famous Shibuya Crossing, and take some time to relax in nearby Yoyogi Park. If you're a fan of anime or Nintendo, your visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the Pokémon Café and Tower Records. These hotspots are great for picking up unique souvenirs and enjoying themed meals and drinks. Another tip for travelers is exchanging currency; 7-Eleven offers competitive rates for currency exchange, making it a convenient option to acquire yen. Also consider downloading travel apps to help navigate the subway and find local attractions easier. With a blend of adventure and cultural experiences, Tokyo promises an unforgettable journey!
