Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo is the capital of Japan, located on the eastern coast of Honshu island. Historically, the settlement was a small fishing village known as Edo until the 12th century. In 1603, it became the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, and in 1868, it was renamed Tokyo when the imperial capital moved from Kyoto. The city’s architecture includes pre-modern wooden structures, Meiji-era stone and brick buildings, and contemporary steel skyscrapers. Key historical sites include the Imperial Palace.

Local tips
- Purchase a digital or physical IC card like Suica or Pasmo for seamless travel on all trains, buses, and for small purchases at convenience stores.
- Carry a small bag for your trash because public garbage cans are rare, and it is customary to take your litter home with you.
- Maintain a quiet environment on public transportation by keeping your phone on silent and refraining from making voice calls.
- Do not leave a tip at restaurants or in taxis, as exceptional service is already included and tipping can cause confusion or be politely refused.
