Local tips
- Purchase a digital Suica or Pasmo card on your phone for seamless tap-to-pay travel on all trains, buses, and at most convenience stores.
- Stand on the left side of escalators and keep the right side clear for people walking past, except in the Osaka region where the rule is reversed.
- Carry a small bag for your trash throughout the day, as public garbage cans are extremely rare outside of convenience stores and train stations.
