Having gone on vacation to Tokyo, Japan for Halloween and following official reopening to much of rest of the world, I share my Japan travel tips that I have used on previous visits and a few others that I picked up on my recent visit. I can talk about Japan for hours, but hopefully, I touch upon key points to help you with your future Tokyo getaway.
