Frequently Asked Questions About Tokyo Travel

Do I need to book Tokyo attractions in advance?

For popular attractions like TeamLab Borderless, Tokyo Skytree, and sumo tournaments, booking online is essential. Most temples and shrines do not require advance booking. JR Pass should be purchased before arriving in Japan.

Is the JR Pass worth it for Tokyo?

If Tokyo is your only destination, the JR Pass is not worth it — a Suica/Pasmo IC card covers local transit. The JR Pass (from ¥50,000 for 7 days) becomes worthwhile if you take shinkansen day trips to Kyoto, Osaka, or other cities.

What is the best time to visit Tokyo?

Cherry blossom season (late March-April) and autumn foliage (November) are most beautiful but most crowded and expensive. May and October offer good weather with fewer tourists. Summer (July-August) is hot and humid.
