Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Activate your SIM card immediately upon landing at the airport to ensure you have instant access to transit apps and maps before leaving the terminal. While the network is reliable 24/7, you may experience slightly slower speeds in highly crowded areas like Shibuya Crossing during peak evening rush hours.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Use your high-speed data to instantly back up your high-resolution photos to the cloud, freeing up phone storage for more shots.

• Leverage augmented reality translation apps to read hidden historical plaques and find the best vantage points at temples.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

In Japan, it is considered highly impolite to talk on the phone while on public transport, so use your data plan for messaging and browsing instead. Avoid walking while staring at your screen, a practice known as aruki-sumaho, which is frowned upon and can be dangerous in busy crossings.
