    Itinerary Overview

    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • The best way to get around Tokyo is by using the subway and train system, which is efficient, convenient, and affordable. You can buy a prepaid card like Suica or Pasmo to avoid buying tickets every time.

    • • Tokyo is a huge city with many attractions, so it’s impossible to see everything in four days. I suggest choosing a few areas that interest you and exploring them in depth, rather than rushing from one place to another.
