I’d recommend you add Airalo link, much cheaper for customers plus affiliate commission anyway without extra cost to someone. Came back last week, 12gb left of a 20gb esim for two weeks extensive nav, icloud photos, hotspots for 2x etc

if you have to ride the trains during rush hour AND you're not in a hurry AND you have baggage, luggage or gifts with you, ride the last train car. You might have to wait for a few cars to pass by to find a less crowded one but believe me, you'll be a lot more comfortable.

Thank you for this. I was in Tokyo last week and got lost at least 5 times. Got on the wrong train many times and bought so many wrong tickets. I loved every minute of it. Can't wait to go back

Some times depending on where you are you also need to use the IC card and your physical Shinkansen ticket at the same time at the gate. This really got me the first time and just went to the booth at the gate to sort it out and got it explained.

@saulschlapik6818 2 месяца назад

For first time visitors who may be intimidated by the different types of trains, the JR lines are easier to navigate than the subway. The Yamanote loop line is particularly useful because it will take you to most (but not all) places you'll want to go. If you miss your stop, you can stay on the train until it comes around again, it takes about an hour to complete the circle. Also keep in mind there are two different subway systems with separate fares. Tokyo Metro has 9 lines and Toei has 4. If you plan to ride a lot of trains, there are day passes for each or both subways, JR local trains within the city and one for all three.

Been twice now (3rd time soon) I mainly used CityMapper, bringing up the English subway map - then winging it from there! The trains are fairly simple - similar to large London stations in navigation, apart from Shinjuku lol, which can be a fun maze... Also, I mentioned CityMapper that has a cone that shows me my orientation on a 2d map. Google maps doesn't for some reason (just a blue blob) for me. Knowing which way you're facing is essential, though half the fun is getting sorta lost and exploring ;-)

@neubro1448 2 месяца назад

Study the Yamanote station names to get your bearings on where and how far is the nearest station at your current location.

@ThatNinjaGuy 2 месяца назад

From my experience with talking to tourists who come to Tokyo the most confusing thing for them is definitely transferring. Many tourists don’t understand for example that JR is a different network than Tokyo metro, Seibu, Tobu, ect. so many end up getting lost that way or having the wrong ticket. Also many tourists struggle with Shinkansen tickets since they always end up screwing up the basic fare + hi speed ticket thing. They don’t realize you can buy the all in one ticket from outside the gate at the JR ticket office or ticket machine.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

yes things can be confusing indeed

@Mfishtheman 2 месяца назад

It is very intimidating and difficult when you first use the train. After a while I figured it out. The JR lines are quite simple. It’s when you don’t use a JR line that can get hairy. Or when you have to use a bus tbh. I only got lost on my way to Fuji, but then I found out I could just take the train from where I was back to Tokyo and go from there to Fuji instead and did that because it was the fore sure thing.

So we buy the shinkansen ticket on our Klook app, and then we get to the station we go to a JR ticket machine and we can use the QR code to have the ticket machine print out our ticket right there- we can reserve a seat on the klook app as well as decide if we want to go with the green seats or not- is this all correct?

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

What you say sounds correct but you need to check the terms with Klook, the app gives step by step instructions.. and you can always contact them for further assistance

@axios101 2 месяца назад

Question: as in Tokyo Shinkansen green card upgrade machines will only work with SUICA, in other cities will be the same (ie: working only with the regional brand of IC card)?

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

youve totally caught me offguard on this one! no idea!! sorry

@Cubs3344 2 месяца назад

Another question is for the Advance booked Shinkansen Ticket, if we miss the train, can we still board the next train? If we already pre-booked a reserve seat, can it be rebooked ? Any additional cost?

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

You would lose your reserved seat but you can take the non-reserved seats on any later trains on the same day.

May I ask does the 24/48/72 hours tokyo subway pass including subway that is tag with limited express? Take for an example Tokyo skytree to Akihabara Station using Asakusa Line (limited express) thru Chuo-Sobu Line. Is the Tokyo Subway pass included in this ride? Or we can only use the subway pass for all non limited express trains?

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

as far as im aware it does not cover limited express services, which often require additional fares or seat reservations.
