How to Move Smoothly Around Tokyo

Buy a Suica or Welcome Suica card as soon as you arrive, load it with around ¥5,000–10,000, and simply tap in and out of JR lines, subways, and many buses; keep the card handy in an easy-to-reach pocket and watch platform signs for the green Yamanote Line if you’re unsure where to start.

Know

Onsen & Spa Etiquette Basics

At Japanese baths, you undress completely in the locker room, wash thoroughly at the shower stations before entering any pool, keep towels out of the water, and stay quiet and relaxed; tattoos may need to be covered with stickers or a rash guard depending on the facility, so check in advance.
