Creator's Key Takeaways

I only speak English. I don't really speak much Japanese.

The best way to get around Tokyo is definitely by the trains and the subway.

My favorite season is the fall and just to hope it doesn't come during typhoon time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the JR Yamanote loop line for easy tourist transportation around Tokyo.
✓Avoid driving in Tokyo due to high costs and limited parking.
✓Carry cash and physical credit cards, as many places do not accept tap payments.
