ARRIVAL ESSENTIALS
Getting to & Around
Getting there
Major gateways are Narita (NRT) for international and Haneda (HND) for proximity to the city center.
ARRIVAL GUIDE
IC card needed
Pick up a Suica or Pasmo card immediately for seamless travel on all trains, buses, and at vending machines.
TRANSPORT TIPS
JR Pass useful?
Essential for long-distance travel to other cities, but most internal Tokyo lines are better served by IC cards.
