Good to know about Tokyo
While peak viewing is late March/early April, for a less crowded cherry blossom experience, look for late-blooming varieties like yaezakura in larger parks by mid-April.
SourceWhile streets are pristine, public trash cans are extremely rare due to post-attack regulations; be prepared to carry your litter until you find a bin at convenience stores or train stations.
SourcePeak autumn foliage in central Tokyo is late November to early December, but head to the mountainous areas of western Tokyo in early November for the earliest colors.
SourceTap water is safe to drink, but its high chlorine content can give it a distinct taste; many locals use filters or prefer bottled water.
SourceWhile subway coverage is excellent, not all trains are run by the same company; a Japan Rail Pass won't cover the Tokyo Metro, and you'll need an IC card for seamless integration.
SourceDon't assume English is universally spoken; while tourist spots and hotels usually have bilingual staff, learning a few basic Japanese phrases will greatly enhance interactions outside these areas.
SourceWhile tuna is iconic, local chefs pride themselves on more regional ingredients; look for saba (mackerel) in autumn or bonito (katsuo) in spring and autumn.
SourceAlthough Odaiba Beach is popular, swimming is generally prohibited due to water quality concerns, especially during summer.
