Creator's Key Takeaways

Tokyo is so massive, it makes a mockery of a one-day port visit.

Get an IC card in advance. Both Suika and Pasmo have tourist card versions of their regular transport cards.

The Yamanote line provides the 101 highlight reel of the city.

We found it quite moving, especially since the space isn't a grand palatial temple, but a humble one inside a quiet neighborhood.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get an IC card (Suika or Pasmo) in advance for easy travel across different rail companies.
โœ“Avoid rush hour between 8 to 10:30 a.m. on weekdays.
โœ“Carry cash for local establishments, taxis, and recharging IC cards.
โœ“Pre-book Team Labs Planets due to its popularity.
โœ“Use the Yamanote line for a central loop of Tokyo highlights.
