No, it is quite possible to get by in English in most situations, especially in hotels, stations, and restaurants in central Tokyo. Many signs are also in both Japanese and English. However, being able to say a few simple phrases, like arigatou (thank you) or sumimasen (excuse me), is always appreciated by the locals.
Tokyo has a reputation for being expensive, but there are options for all budgets. Accommodations range from luxury hotels to capsule hotels, and food is often affordable—a bowl of ramen costs no more than a lunch at home. Transportation by subway is also relatively cheap and efficient.
It depends on interest! For culture – visit Asakusa and the Senso-ji Temple. For shopping – take a walk along Takeshita Street in Harajuku. For nightlife – Shinjuku and Shibuya offer a vibrant selection. And don’t miss taking a trip to Tsukiji or Toyosu to try fresh sushi.
Between alleys and skyscrapers
Tokyo is a city that constantly moves forward but where history is still present in everyday life. In the narrow alleys, locals cycle home from work, small shops sell traditional goods, and the neighborhood’s restaurants serve ramen to regulars. Just a few blocks away, modern skyscrapers and futuristic architecture rise as symbols of innovation. It is in the meeting between these worlds that Tokyo’s unique identity arises. Read more here.
Small moments that make the journey
Exploring Tokyo is not just about the major attractions but also the small details that give the city its soul. It might be the smell of freshly grilled yakitori from a street stall, the sound of an arcade filled with neon lights, or an unexpected quietness in a temple courtyard in the midst of the city’s hustle and bustle. Each walk offers new impressions that linger long after the trip is over. It is precisely these moments that make Tokyo a city you want to return to again and again.

Good to know before you travel
Hakone (hot springs and views of Fuji), Kamakura & Enoshima (temples and sea), Nikko (world heritage in the mountains) and Yokohama (port city with fine walks) are classics. All are reachable in 30–120 min by train depending on destination and line.
Safe choices are ATMs at 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Japan Post (post offices). They usually accept international cards. Check your bank’s fees before traveling and withdraw some cash – small restaurants and temples may be cash-only.
Japan uses 100V and plug type A (two flat pins). Most modern chargers (phone, laptop, camera) support 100–240V, but you usually need a travel adapter to fit the sockets. Check “Input 100–240V” on the charger to be safe.
To get around
Tokyo has one of the world’s most efficient public transportation systems. The subway is fast, reliable, and covers almost every corner of the city. To make travel smooth, it’s smart to get a Suica or Pasmo card, which is easily loaded and works on both subways, buses, and commuter trains. Although the system may seem complex at first glance, clear signs in both Japanese and English make it easy to find your way. If you travel a lot, it’s often cheaper and more convenient than buying individual tickets.
Accommodation in Tokyo
The city offers accommodations for all types of travelers. Here, there are luxury hotels in Shinjuku and Ginza for those who want comfort and a view of the city’s skyline. For a more traditional experience, there are ryokan – Japanese inns where you sleep on tatami mats and are served a classic Japanese breakfast. Budget-conscious travelers can opt for capsule hotels, a unique Japanese phenomenon that has become an experience in itself. Regardless of which area or type of accommodation you choose, proximity to public transport is always important to make your stay as smooth as possible.
