I’ve compiled a list of some sorts of what I should do, but just wanted more input.

  1. Download Google maps of Tokyo area (for offline use)

  2. Google Translate with Downloaded JP Package (for offline use, I have to check if this is reliable).

  3. Get a Suica card, most transactions can use Suica Cards

  4. DiDi Taxi App (tourist friendly taxi app).

  1. Book an AirBnB instead of a hotel (bonus if AirBnB gives out Portable Wifi)

  2. Buy data sim/portable wifi in the airport (expensive but useful if no other options).

  3. Try International data instead

Hopefully I’ll have time to visit some real life anime places like

  1. Gyonmae Park in Shinjuku (Garden of Words).

  2. Cafe La Boheme (Your Name)

  3. ofc Akihabara

What other tips/places can you give to this weeb.

    If you want a cheap shinkansen pass, buy it before the trip from outside the country. It’ll cost a lot more once you’re there.

      I think we’ll only be staying in Tokyo, but I’ll keep this in mind if we plan another trip to Japan.

      Speaking of trains though, I’ll be landing in Narita Airport and I remember seeing that the train from Narita to the heart of Tokyo is expensive or something.
