Travel well, from day one

Best time to visit Tokyo

Late March to April for cherry blossoms; October to November for autumn colour.

Holiday weekends and major events can change prices and crowds. Check local calendars before settling on your dates.

Getting around

Use rail and subway with a compatible IC card, checking the final train before late outings.

A taste of Tokyo

Try a bowl of ramen; ticket-machine ordering is common at casual shops.

Make your budget go further

Compare the full trip cost, including transport, meal plans and attraction tickets—not just the nightly price. Mix ticketed sights with neighborhood walks and public spaces, and check official attraction sites for current prices.

Before you go

How should I plan my first visit to Tokyo?

Start with Sensō-ji, then group nearby sights together rather than crossing the city repeatedly. The three-day outline above leaves time for meals and exploring; adjust it for your pace and opening days.

What should I book in advance?

Reserve accommodation once your dates are settled, and check official sites for popular attractions, performances and timed-entry tickets. Opening hours, access rules and seasonal programs may change; this guide does not confirm availability.

What should I check before traveling?

Check passport and entry requirements with the destination's government, current travel advisories, weather, accessibility and travel insurance. Confirm airport transport and the property's check-in details before departure.

Planning inspiration, not real-time schedules or travel advice from an official authority. Confirm practical details with local transport operators and attraction websites.
