Download before you arrive
Save the PDF and offline maps to your phone and print a backup — mobile data may be spotty on crowded stations.
Start early at Tsukiji
Arrive before 8:00 AM for the liveliest market stalls and best sushi lines with shorter waits.
Carry an IC transit card
A Suica or Pasmo speeds transfers across subways and JR lines and avoids repeated ticket purchases.
Respect temple etiquette
At Senso-ji and other shrines, follow simple rules: bow, be quiet, and avoid photography in restricted areas.
Comfortable walking shoes
Streets and market alleys require supportive, breathable footwear for long days on pavement.
Portable phone charger
Navigation and translation apps drain batteries fast — a charger keeps the itinerary and transit apps alive.
IC transit card (Suica/Pasmo)
Speeds transfers across trains and buses and avoids ticket-line delays.
Light waterproof layer
Protects against sudden showers and cooler winds near the bay and gardens.
