Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo is a major metropolitan center with a history extending back to the Edo period (1603–1867), when it served as the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate. The city’s architectural landscape includes historical structures such as the Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, established in the 7th century, and the Tokyo Imperial Palace, which occupies the former site of Edo Castle. These traditional sites exist alongside 20th and 21st-century developments.

Local tips
- Load a Suica or Pasmo IC card onto your phone's digital wallet for seamless tap-to-pay access on all trains, buses, and at most convenience stores.
- Always carry physical yen because many small restaurants, traditional shops, and temple stalls remain strictly cash-only.
- Maintain a quiet environment on public transit by setting your phone to silent and avoiding voice calls or loud conversations.
- Carry a small bag for your trash throughout the day, as public garbage cans are rare and locals are expected to take their litter home.
