Getting Around Tokyo

Tokyo's rail network is world-class. Use an IC card (Suica or Pasmo) for seamless tap-on access to all subways and buses. A trip from Haneda to central Tokyo via monorail costs approximately ¥500 and takes 25 minutes, while the Narita Express from Narita costs ~¥3,000 and takes 60-90 minutes.

Practical Tokyo Tips

01
Tokyo is extremely safe for solo travelers, with very low crime rates.
02
Japan uses Type A electrical plugs with 100V voltage; bring a converter for non-dual voltage appliances.
03
Tipping is not practiced in Japan; providing a tip can sometimes cause confusion.
04
Download a transit app like Navitime or use Google Maps for real-time train navigation.
05
Convenience stores (konbini) offer high-quality, affordable meals 24/7.
06
Public transport is efficient, but avoid the rush hour squeeze (7:30–9:00 AM).
07
If you enjoy urban exploration, consider visiting related cities like /ai-trip-planner/seoul or /ai-trip-planner/osaka.
