The metro is not for 24 hours in Japan

it may surprise you that the country such a lot of conveniences doesn't have a 24-hour train service, but yes it's true even in the glittering. Tokyo is the most populated city in Japan and all train stop at 1 a.m, it means after 1 a.m you can't get any train. while making plans for your night out, expect to make a mad rush for the final train. depending on in where you're, you will need to be travel via the doors everywhere among 11:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Missing the train can be very costly for you and you have to depend on a highly priced cab, so you need to take your decision before 1 am. If you want to stay out all night then another option for you is going to one of the all night karaoke joints and sing into the early hours of the morning. it is very less costly than a cab.

You don't need to give a tip

Yes you don’t need to give a tip to your cab drivers, waiters or bartenders. There's no tipping allowed in Japan. In fact, if you do, they may fill be insulted, and if you try to leave extra money then your server will run after you to return your  money. Waiters get paid a living salary in Japan, so don't feel guilty. This rule is also for hotel staff and different service staff you will meet during your journey.

In any case if you really want to thanks someone for there service, then you can offer a small gift of appreciation, like Keychain or something like that. No matter what it is, but be sure to say thank you and bow as you are hand it over.

This is also the norm for numerous restaurants, so make sure you take off your shoes and you'll also have to take off your shoes before you getting into the dressing rooms, too.

Get pocket wifi on a rent

Yes, you can rent a pocket Wi-Fi for your trip to Japan and really it become a lifesaver! Tokyo is big city, so that you’ll need all the navigation assist you can get if you’re headed there! I mostly depended on Google Maps the whole time for walking instructions as well as making plans our routes via subway or train, each in the city and among towns. It was very helpful to have a mobile hotspot available at all times.
