Consejos sobre la ciudad

Cómo moverse

Buy a Pasmo or Suica card

Suica and Pasmo can almost be used interchangeably. The only difference is that they are sold by different companies. Pasmo are sold at any ticket vending machine at Tokyo subway stations whereas Suica are only available at JR EAST stations. Both machines have English instructions. But if you’re taking a train from the airport to Tokyo city center, you can buy either card at Narita and Haneda airports. You can even use them to make small purchases in convenience stores and vending machines! One card costs as little as 1000 yen (500 yen for deposit, 500 yen credit). You can top up as you go.

Use Google Maps and HyperDia to plan your trip

It displays detailed timetable and compares routes and prices. Besides the web-based version, it also has an app for iOS and Android.

Enjoy the incredible wonder of Japanese electronic toilets

The very first thing you’ll notice when you arrive in Japan is the electronic toilets. These hi-tech toilets are EVERYWHERE and will amaze you with their remarkable functionality! What exactly can they do? The sophisticated toilets come equipped with an array of smart functions, including a heated seat (super great for winter!), water sprays for front and posterior wash (with adjustable position and water strength), noise maker (for privacy), and air-drying.

Stay on the left side

In Tokyo, people walk on the left-hand side, just like road traffic. On escalators, it is a common, unspoken rule to stand on the left and leave the right side for those who want to climb the steps. Exceptions exist in some metro stations though. To avoid running into other pedestrians, always check the signs!
Costumbres y cultura

Tap water is safe to drink

It’s perfectly safe to drink from the tap!

Skip the taxis

Since cabs can be expensive (they have a 475 JPY starting fare), use the public transportation to save money. It goes everywhere and late into the night!

Eat at 7-Eleven

The 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and other corner stores have a lot of pre-set meals for 120-370 JPY that make for a cheap lunch option. Additionally, supermarkets also have many set meals at similar prices. You can also find a lot of cheap meals at the major bus/train stations, as well (such as curry, ramen, and donburi). Even the locals eat here.

Luggage storage options

Coin lockers are everywhere and can always be found at train stations. They come in Small (¥300), Medium (¥400), and Large size (¥500-¥800), though the per-day prices may vary. Unfortunately, large-wheeled suitcases won’t fit inside these lockers, and this is why we always recommend traveling light.
