Hi there!
Is it your first trip to Tokyo?!
Be sure to see the list of VERY GOOD THINGS TO KNOW for your first trip to Tokyo!
Tokyo can be the perfect spot to start your trip to Japan! (Although, if you’re looking for a city in Japan to start off your trip that may be slightly less overwhelming, also look into Kyoto or Osaka.)
For a small intro to public transportation in Tokyo, see about taking the local train in Tokyo.
If you are visiting Tokyo during cherry blossom season, be sure to stop by the cherry blossom promenade along the Meguro River!
Tokyo is also the popular access point for the hike up Mt Fuji, aka the hike up to the highest point in Japan!
Where to go after Tokyo?!
