Getting There

I'm sure you'll figure out getting to Tokyo.

But when you do get there, there are a few different ways to get around on the EXCELLENT subway system.

You can get a JR rail pass, this pass is quite costly. I'd only recommend getting this pass if you are planning to do a couple of big bullet train trips (maybe to Kyoto, Osaka or Nagano)

You can buy a SUICA or PASMO card. This is a pretty easy to use swipe card that you can pre load with funds. 

Or just pay everytime you go to the station, this can be annoying but the machines are super easy to use.

Australian through and through. Grew up in Sydney's Northern Beaches surfing everyday I can in Summer and getting down to the ski slopes in the Winter. Constant road-trips up Australia's East coast, I know the Melbourne to Brisbane coastline like the back of my hand. Iv'e travelled extensively to Europe, Asia, Central America and South America. Always looking for new adventures, surfing skiing, hiking and partying. Favourite country: Japan Spent a total of 3 months travelling in Japan, skiing and surfing. Absolutely in love with the culture there and the people. Also best food in the world hands down. Just wrapped up a big 7 month backpacking trip. 6 weeks around Europe then 3 months in Central America and 3 months in South America. Blending a good mix of extensive pre-planning and 'go with the flow' travelling. Not down for lying on the beach relaxing reading a book, thats not my kind of holiday. It's non-stop action everyday all the time, live for adventure and getting off the beaten track.
