Going to Tokyo in 1 week :D

Ryuutaros

"Training."
Please pray for a safe trip for my family and me :)

Also, any word of advice and words that will be useful in Tokyo? (Seriously)
 
If you're obviously not Japanese, nobody will expect you to speak any words of the language at all. If you look like you're from an English-speaking country, in fact, a lot of people will use that as an opportunity to practice their English.

That said, if you know a few basic words of politeness, people will think better of you than someone who can't even manage "please" or "thank you". Learning a few counting words can be useful if you plan to go shopping, too.

Most places in Tokyo will have Western-style toilets and Japanese-style toilets. You want to use the Western-style toilets. Really. You do.

Eat stall food whenever you can. Tokyo's street foods are amazing and you can find stalls potentially anywhere, but especially around train stations.

You could, of course, still try the Japanese-style toilets...you know...for shits and giggles.

[hide]Sorry, couldn't help myself. :rofl:[/hide]
 
Never did like those toilets, they were a pain.

Anyway, hope you have a safe trip Ryuu, and as I say this to everyone; Go to Tokyo Tower!
 
Tokyo Tower is totally worth doing. There's some great, crazy little restaurants in there that are worth checking out, too. (Like, a place that serves nothing but ice cream crepes, as I recall.)
