Your first trip to Tokyo, made simple

Good to know

• Most stores are open 24 hours.
• Many stores let customers use the restroom — look for the sign, and ask staff if you're unsure.
• Staff can heat bento and other meals in the microwave; they'll usually ask if you want it warmed.
• IC cards like Suica, credit cards and contactless payments are widely accepted.
• Public trash bins are rare, so the bins outside convenience stores are handy.
