Important information when visiting Tokyo

* Narita International Airport may be the largest and most famous airport in Tokyo, but Haneda is located in the city, while Narita is part of Chiba Prefecture, in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo, which means that commuting to the city center from Haneda will save the traveler time and money, thanks to the public transportation system Amazingly, you can easily choose between trains or buses.
* Like the most famous areas in Tokyo, not only vast, but also made up of several districts, each with its own train station (with different operating train companies), there is the famous Shinjuku station owned by JR Corporation (the same company that issues the Japan Rail Pass) And there are those named “Nishi-Shinjuku”, “Shinjuku Jeon-mae”, “Shinjuku-san-chome”, “Seibu Shinjuku”, in addition to many more. So when planning a visit to Shinjuku or any other area, be sure to turn to The correct station, which is closest to the place you are looking for.
* The traveler gets used to everything small in size in Tokyo, the first small thing that may be noticed is probably the hotel room and most often, the size of the bed and bathroom, as you should try to pack lightly for Tokyo, and check the size of the bed when booking the accommodation in Largest category, also most hotels usually offer a queen size bed, most restaurants are also small, aim to cater for only two to four people per group unless you come to a family restaurant, it is usually hard to find one table for a group of more than Four Persons A little research on seating arrangements at a favorite restaurant is highly recommended, especially if one is traveling in a large group.

Planning a Tokyo trip

* Most restaurants start their first service at lunch, and hardly anything opens for breakfast unless it is an international restaurant that clearly has breakfast on its menu. Tokyo residents eat breakfast at home, or from a convenience store.
* The traveler will soon notice that on the escalator people stand on the left side and leave the right side open This is to make way for others who are in a hurry to use the right side to walk without any hindrance, so you must stay on the left side when riding the elevator to avoid annoying looks from residents local.
