- As a person who loves traveling a lot but never manages to set for a mobile plan to use his internet worldwide …I would strongly recommend on getting a mobile plan at the airport (if you are in Narita) that costs you about 4500¥. Unlimited!
- I have faced a huge issue with the transportation time,schedule,transfers. Not speaking of the prices !! 30$! Just to one direction. If you can? Just use the bus (keisei)1000¥. Extremely convenient.
- There are almost no garbage
bins on the streets in Tokyo. So think twice before eating even an ice cream and not carrying with you a plastic bag. - The subway in Tokyo is very complicated and as you are all aware Japanese don’t speak English …just a few words…so again use the Apps that will help you to manage around .
- Now girls. I know ,you know…NAILS. I have to say a few words about this…call in one week prior or even earlier…the quality ? It is alright but the problem is if you get a student then you will be screwed up as I was … she didn’t start putting the gel from the cuticle point …actually 0.2mm further …They are expensive as well (4000¥) a starting price and no manicure ,design, stones are included…
- I had 2000$ with me on all the expenses ,by the end of the week I was left with 100$. If you are alone,bring at least 5000$. Shopping,food ? I did it all but again wasn’t crazy…I don’t eat a lot either. Disneyland cost me 7000¥(70$) one ticket to one park only and there are two of them(go to the Aquapark).
- thats about it …enjoy Shopping,Food and Clean environment!

Buenos consejos para visitar Japón @Varsella , gracias por compartirlos con nosotros.
Una consulta, la foto que compartiste que representa ?, al principio cuando la vi me dio la impresión que era una VCR antigua jajaja, después de mirarla con más atención vi que es un edificio, nada mas que esta inclinada la imagen. Podrías contarnos un poco mas de ella, gracias.

No sé por qué la foto se gira hacia la izquierda: es la mejor foto que tomé cuando estaba lloviendo con un paraguas transparente japonés.
