- Get a Pocket WiFi. That plus Google Maps is the best way to find your way around Tokyo. Walking, busses, metro, trains etc.
- get a suica card for paying trains, busses, 7-11 etc . If you have a newer iPhone you can get a virtual Suica and pay with Apple Wallet.
- Remember that many restaurants / bars are not on street level. Don’t be afraid to venture to the upper floor restaurants.
- Go on day trips! Nikko, Atami, Mt Takao. Hakone is nice as well, but requires two days to fully appreciate.
- Visit parks! Unnecessary tip given the season, but Tokyo has amazing parks.
- Visit Odaiba. Strange 90s futuristic man made island.
- Eat plenty of the cheap Japanese comfort food. Curry, ramen (try all types, can recommend Tsukemen with noodles on the side), Sushi (of course). Generally, food is of extremely high quality everywhere, so generally no need to splurge.
- People are generally extremely friendly and eager to please. This is great, but also remember that people might like to avoid saying no or be unfriendly
