Know before you go 🧳
The practical stuff for Tokyo, Japan — check these before you book and pack.
Entry & documents
- Visa overview — Japan grants visa-free entry to many passports for short stays, but rules vary by nationality and purpose. Check your passport's requirements on the destination's immigration site or IATA Travel Centre before booking.
- Passport validity — Rule of thumb: many countries (including Japan in practice) expect at least 6 months validity beyond your planned departure, and a blank page for stamps—verify for your passport.
- Customs and items to declare — Declare large sums of cash, certain foods, plants, and medications. Controlled items and limits can change; consult Japan Customs for up-to-date guidance.
- Local emergency numbers — Police: 110. Ambulance/fire: 119. Keep these and your embassy contact saved.
Health & safety
- Vaccinations & checks — No universal new vaccine mandates—routine vaccines recommended. Check current entry health rules and local advisories from your health authority and Japan's health ministry.
- Prescription meds — Carry medicines in original packaging with a doctor’s note in English. Some medicines are restricted in Japan—verify legality before travel.
- Travel insurance — Strongly recommended: ensure it covers medical evacuation and hospital care in Japan, where costs can be high for tourists.
Money & payments
- Currency code — Japanese yen (JPY).
- Cash vs card — Cash is widely used outside major stores. Many smaller shops, markets and rural spots are cash-only—carry sufficient yen.
- ATMs — International cards typically work at 7‑Eleven, Lawson and Japan Post ATMs; airport ATMs are also available. Check with your bank for fees and network compatibility.
- Tipping norm — Tipping is not customary and can cause confusion. Exceptional service is best acknowledged with polite thanks; prices listed include service.
Connectivity & power
- Plug type & voltage — Plugs: Type A (two flat pins) common; some Type B. Voltage: 100 V. Adapters/converters may be needed—check your devices' voltage range.
- SIMs & eSIMs — Prepaid physical SIMs and eSIMs are widely available at airports and online. Ensure your phone is unlocked and supports local bands.
- Pocket Wi‑Fi & Wi‑Fi — Pocket Wi‑Fi rental is common for multi-device use. Public Wi‑Fi exists but can be limited; arrange data if you need reliable connectivity.
Local manners & tips
- Shoes & indoor rules — Remove shoes where requested (homes, some ryokan, temples). Follow signage and use provided slippers when offered.
- Quiet public behaviour — Keep noise low on trains and in public. Phone calls on local trains are discouraged; use messaging instead.
- Politeness norms — Bowing and polite language matter. Present and receive items with both hands, and avoid loud or confrontational behavior.
- Eating etiquette — In many places avoid walking while eating. Slurping noodles is acceptable; finishing your plate is polite in small eateries.
Best times & packing
- Best months to visit — Peak seasons: spring (Mar–May) for cherry blossoms and autumn (Oct–Nov) for fall colors. Summers can be hot/humid; winters are cold in north and inland areas.
- What to pack — Pack layers, a light waterproof jacket or umbrella, comfortable walking shoes, and seasonal items (warm coat in winter, breathable clothing in summer).
- Weather hazards — Typhoon season is typically late summer/early autumn—check forecasts and airline advisories if traveling then.
Language & phrases
- Official language — Japanese is the official language; English signage is common in major stations and tourist areas but less so in rural areas.
- Useful phrase: hello — Hello: 'Konnichiwa' (こんにちは). Use it for daytime greetings.
- Useful phrase: thank you — Thank you: 'Arigatou' (ありがとう) or more polite 'Arigatou gozaimasu' (ありがとうございます).
- Useful phrase: excuse me — Excuse me / I'm sorry: 'Sumimasen' (すみません) — useful for getting attention or apologizing.
Airports & getting around
- Main airports — Tokyo's main airports: Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). Haneda is closer to central Tokyo; Narita is farther east.
- From Narita to center — Options include airport express trains, private airport buses, and taxis. Train services connect Narita to major Tokyo stations—choose by budget and luggage.
- From Haneda to center — Haneda offers quick rail links (including monorail and commuter lines), airport buses and taxis—generally faster to central Tokyo than Narita.
- Local transit tips — Tokyo's rail and subway network is extensive and efficient; get a rechargeable IC card (Suica/Pasmo) for convenience. Rush hour is very crowded.
General guidance, not legal advice — entry and health rules depend on your passport and change often. Verify with official sources before you fly.
