Kung mag-isa ka lang, try couchsurfing and/or homestay.

I recommend homestay too if you're traveling alone. At least for your very first trip, you need people to guide you to places. The Japanese family you're living with homestay will be welcome to show you around.

But if you're a bit more adventurous then internet connection is needed. You can actually purchase sim cards that offers data only services in the airport. But I like to have my calls available in case of emergency. So I prefer to rent wifi. Here's what I rented last month.

Navigating to Tokyo subway will make you confuse at first. Just look at this map.

Anyway, the easiest way for you to navigate is to use Tokyo subway app. Just put where you are and where your destination would be

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... navi&hl=en

The link I've posted is for Tokyo Metro app. This is bad if you're using JR pass. Why? Because there are 3 companies that are in the subway business. They are Japan-Rail (JR), Tokyo Metro and Toei. Obviously the app is gonna guide you using Tokyo Metro lines. Obviously you want to use JR lines for your pass. Just use the app in conjunction with subway map (which is free in all airports and hotels). After a day or two, you can easily navigate the subway with map only.

If you want more information. Feel free to ask me anything. Currently I'm planning my 3rd trip to Japan.

Ganda nung Harry Potter na ride sa Universal Studio! :agree: Mas maganda siya sobra compare sa Transformers(Singapore) and Spiderman. Worth it yung pag pila ng almost 2 Hours. :D Nagka problem nung unang ride namin. Parang nag stop ng almost 1 min yung ride kaya pinayagan kami ulitin kung gusto namin. :mrgreen:

Ang ganda ng packaging pag bumibili souvenirs.

Pati yung handkerchief na binili namin, individually wrapped siya kahit marami... Kaso nga lang ang tagal. :lol:
