About Travel to Tokyo
Tokyo is served by Narita and Haneda airports; the latter is closer to the centre. The rail network is excellent: get a Suica or Pasmo card for trains and subways, and consider a JR Pass if you’re also visiting Kyoto or Osaka. Spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (foliage) are the most popular times; summer is hot and humid. Many signs are in English, and the city is very safe and clean. Allow time to explore different districts—Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, and Ginza each offer a different side of the city. Reserve top restaurants and teamLab tickets well ahead.
