Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo is the capital of Japan and serves as the country’s political and economic center. Historically, the city originated as a small fishing village known as Edo before becoming the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603. This period established the urban layout that informs the modern city.

The quintessential Tokyo sushi style, originating from the Edo period when fish was 'treated' (cured or simmered) to preserve it. - Monjayaki

Local tips
- Download a digital Suica or Pasmo card to your smartphone for seamless tap-and-go travel on all subways, trains, and buses.
- Carry a small bag for your own trash, as public garbage cans are extremely rare and littering is strictly avoided.
- Refrain from talking on your phone or speaking loudly while using public transportation to respect the local culture of quiet commuting.
- Always carry some physical yen, as many smaller traditional shops and local ramen eateries still operate on a cash-only basis.
