Tokyo

Japan's bustling capital mixing ultramodern and traditional culture

Japan's bustling capital mixing ultramodern and traditional culture Tokyo’s rail system is efficient, but crossing the metropolis repeatedly wastes time. Build each day around two adjacent districts, learn the station exit before arrival and leave room for meals without rigid minute-by-minute scheduling. Shrines, residential streets and trains require considerate noise and photography habits. Download an offline transit map and verify the correct station exit. Keep phone calls and loud conversation off crowded trains. Ask before photographing people, shops or religious activity. Use luggage storage rather than carrying large bags through busy stations.
