Insider Tips
- Buy a Suica or Pasmo card on arrival — works on every train, bus, and convenience store
- Skip the Robot Restaurant tourist traps; eat in Omoide Yokocho or Ebisu Yokocho instead
- Visit teamLab Planets in advance — tickets sell out 2-3 weeks ahead
- Use Google Maps for transit, not directions; addresses don't follow Western logic
