    Getting TO/AROUND: The subway system is great. All trains run on time and can take you all over the city. But it can sometimes get complicated as there are many different lines. Most japanese have little maps with them. You can pick up such maps at the stations.
    Or just look online first.

    Getting TO/AROUND: When we entered the Shinjuku area coming from the japanese alps (Takato) by bus we ended up in a large traffic jam. It took us 45 minutes to get to the busstation from the freeway.
    It was a pretty picture though, all the lights of the buildings and the taillights of the cars in front of us.

    Getting TO/AROUND: When travelling in Tokyo with 3 or four persons it can be a good idea to take a taxi.
    subway tickets are around 200 Yen per person. The taxi is 650 Yen for the first two kilometers. So for short distances it can be cheaper and it takes you from door to door....

    Please be carefull with the automatic doors. The driver opens and close the door for you. Donīt push or pull yourself!
