I found your article really interesting. What about Ueno area? There are many things to do there, partly traditional, partly modern, partly Japanese, partly foreign. This is a cool thing to do in tokyo for a fewhours visit.

xiu yi, you can purchase a nano sim with data plan in advance and they can send it to the hotel you stayed. i purchased one for my ipad mini so that i can get translation and GPS for my maps.

came across this post too late… i just went on my trip april/may 2013.

To Monica, it is possible to go there even if you know nothing about japanese… i survived and even ventured as far as ATami (where people there barely speak a word of english) at the whim of the moment.

Hey, I came upon your blog while google-ing on what to do in Tokyo. I’m actually going to Tokyo in 6 month time and I’m wondering how we can go about getting the data sim there? I’m currently using an iphone, would really love to have access to the net while on the go. Also, I hope it don’t cost me a bomb. Would really appreciate if you could just advice on this! Thank you so much =)

@Jasmine You can actually get the Japan subway passes in Japan itself, it is very easy to get it : )

Hello! Found your blog entry about Tokyo via Google. Would like to find out if we can buy the Japan subway pass in Japan itself or we have to get it like the JR Pass (in Singapore)

Monica: learn some basic Japanese phrases (they should have such a booklet at the tourist counter at Narita Airport) and that would do the job well – I traveled alone in Tokyo and I know nuts about Japanese. Good luck!

I actually would consider Daikanyama to be included as one of the must-gos in Tokyo – unpretentious and tranquil, it’s one of my personal favorites.

how do you get around in Tokyo, do they understand English? I’m thinking of exploring Japan without joining a Tour..
