Watching and taking notes as if i have money to go to japan😂

If you can find a Family Mart, 7-11 or Lawson's. They have trash cans on the outside of the store. So you can throw away your trash there. Just make sure to pay attention to sorting it into the right bin.

If your flying into Tokyo, try flying into Haneda as they have way more stores and restaurants that are open over night.

There's usually buses that directly go from the airport to the city non-stop. It's easy to find its bus stop and usually as inexpensive as taking a train.

Yes! The cash! I made the reversed mistake here moving to Europe from Japan.

suggestions from local Tokyo girl....The best way to move from Narita airport to central Tokyo is by Orange limousine bus.オレンジバス🚌. It takes you directly to the hotels. Your accommodations don't necessarily need to be the orange limo stop, anyone can take it. It helps you to just sit down all the way.its usually around 35 dollars, Haneda airport to hotels are between 15 to 17 dollars. Instead of dragging your luggage at transfer 🚆 Stations. Especially if you are a first time traveller. If you are going to relatives or friends house, just take carry-on luggage with you and send your Big luggages from the airport to the house, 1 day delivery 🚚. It's usually 20 to 30 dollars per big luggage depending on location. You can send your luggage from Narita airport to other prefectures, to Hokkaido ski resorts if you are skiing. 😊 Ski 🎿or snowboard usually are around 25 to 35 dollars.

Taking a taxi isn't a mistake, it's just that it can be expensive if it's a long distance to the hotel. I took a taxi from Haneda to my nearby hotel after a late night flight and it really saved me grief, time, and energy, since I was traveling with several bags while moving from China.

Not carrying a trash bag isn't a mistake either, as it's not as difficult to find trash bins as it used to be -- plus people shouldn't really have a need for such large amounts of trash anyway, while walking around. Just stop in a konbini (convenience store).

Just as a note. Depending on where you are staying in the Tokyo area, shuttle buses are more convenient than trains. Researching in advance pays off!

$200?? Forget it. For a taxi ride from Narita to Nishi Shinjuku, it cost $350. Never take a taxi in Tokyo unless you're really forced to do so, especially at midnight.

Just came back. Take cash with you into Japan if your bank likes to play games.

Yes, I told them several times that I was going, and they still played me.

Just go to your bank, get about 100, 000 yen, get a Passmo or Suica card as a soon as you land, and you’ll be fine.

Pro-Tip: You can get a transportation card with Apple Wallet, and do it BEFORE you get there. 10, 000 yen will do you fine; 20, 000 yen if you plan on traveling all over the nation.

Also when I went to Germany a lot of places there only did accept cash too so that also does happen in Germany

As someone that lived in Tokyo for years and had recently gone back. Trash cans are everywhere if you know where to look. Most convenience stores have them. They are more often than not outside. Then the entrance way to most public parks will have them. Not to mention most train stations. I have never had a problem throwing away trash in Tokyo. I have never had problems with convenience store employees hastling me for throwing in their bin as long as you throw it in the correct bin. Next While Japan is generally a cash centered society you don't need to carry a lot of cash on you. Most of the more expensive places take card. In all my time in Japan outside of temples I can can count on two hands when I needed cash and most of them are around new years when everything but a few places basically shut down

Tip: Use the busses from airports to whichever city you want to go to. They are very affordable, clean comfortable seats, quiet, and spacious. Taxis in Japan are never an option unless you really need to use it. Public trains are the most convenient, cheapest, quickest option; it's just very crowded some times.

[barbiebunnybakery]

Regarding the trash cans: most convenient stores have them outside and they are nearly everywhere 😉 they also have toilets 🙃

[gormster]

The no late night trains thing is like, all of Tokyo. It’s so crazy that a city with this thriving late night culture has no way to get home between 1 and 4:30. And it’s completely unchallenged by that culture, too. It’s like, either you’re going home, or you’re staying out, and if you’re staying out, you’re going hard. If you’re out at 1:01, it’s just expected that you’ll still be partying at 4am

[lilgrannyari]

If you're staying at a larger hotel in Tokyo, consider taking a Limousine Bus, especially if you have heavy bags and/or older travelers or ones with physical limitations.

[differentman]

This was crazy crazy helpful. Thanks for the posts

[mmmmk]

tokyo is so clean even though there are no public trash cans, nyc could NEVER EVER NOT IN A MILLION YEARS EVER

Yeah when I was 18 I flew to Tokyo and had an 18hr layover there until my connecting flight to Amori Prefecture. I got on the train to explore around 11:30PM and didn't know the train shut down at midnight. I got kicked off and found a random hole in the wall bar. This cute bartender made me a shaved carrot salad and kept calling me "carrot top" since I had red hair. It was fun but couldn't talk to anyone since I couldn't find English speakers. Anyways around 3am Ii went back to the train station and sat and waited until it opened back up so I could ride back to the airport. I ended up finding a Denny's for breakfast and thought it was funny they had a Denny's in Tokyo. I pressed a button at the table by accident and it made a noise in the restaurant and like 3 waiters ran to me to see if I needed anything and I got super embarrassed 😂
