📌 Essential Tips

🚇 Getting Around
  • Google Maps Transit mode is perfectly accurate for Tokyo trains
  • Stand LEFT on escalators, walk right
  • Trains are silent — no calls, quiet voices only
  • Last trains ~midnight. After that: taxi or S.RIDE app
  • GO App needs Japanese number — use S.RIDE or DiDi instead
  • Your Airbnb is on Tokyu Tamagawa + Ikegami Lines
  • Haneda Airport is only 15–20 min from your Airbnb
🛍️ Shopping
  • Show PASSPORT at checkout for tax-free (8–10% back) on ¥5,500+ at same store
  • Don't open sealed tax-free bags until you leave Japan
  • ISAMI: 4F, enter via parking garage, take elevator up
  • Nakano Broadway watch shops: open from 11am on the dot
  • Time Walker charges 3.5% card fee — weigh cash vs card for watch
  • Bring tote bag — plastic bags cost ¥5–10 at most shops
🕌 Halal & Food
  • Stock grocery on Thursday — Chandra Surya is CLOSED Saturday
  • 7-Eleven ATMs accept Malaysian cards (most reliable)
  • Convenience store onigiri = good quick halal meal (tuna/salmon/kombu)
  • Use HalalGo app for finding halal spots in real time
  • Tokyo Camii mosque in Yoyogi-Uehara, 5 min from Shibuya
  • Prayer rooms at Gyumon Shibuya & Honolu Grande Akihabara
  • Check labels for 豚肉 (pork) and アルコール (alcohol)
👦 For Your 8-Year-Old
  • Budget ¥2,000–3,000/day for gashapon — he will want them ALL
  • Nintendo Store closes at 9pm — loads of time after training
  • Keep him awake until 8pm on arrival day to beat jet lag
  • Train voice = indoor voice. Japan is very quiet in public
  • Competition day: light breakfast, familiar food only
  • Coin lockers at Komazawa station for gear storage
🎌 Etiquette
  • No eating while walking — find a spot and stop
  • Carry a small bag for rubbish — almost no public bins
  • Remove shoes when you see a step up at any entrance
  • Both hands when giving or receiving anything
  • Never tip — it can be considered rude in Japan
  • Taxis: door opens/closes automatically. Don't touch it!
  • Tap water is safe and delicious everywhere in Japan
📱 Apps & Tech
  • Google Maps — perfect transit directions including exit numbers
  • Google Translate camera — point at menus to translate instantly
  • Download Japanese offline language pack before departure
  • S.RIDE or DiDi app for taxis (accept Malaysian numbers)
  • Airalo eSIM for data — buy before leaving Malaysia
  • Your Malaysian number stays active — WhatsApp works normally
  • Load Wise with RM3,000–4,000 before departure
