How much does a Tokyo trip cost?

Do I need a JR Pass for Tokyo?
For Tokyo-only travel, a Suica/PASMO IC card is usually more cost-effective than a national JR Pass. The JR Pass pays off if you take long-distance shinkansen trips.
Is cash or card better in Tokyo?
Both work, but cash is still preferred at small restaurants and shrines. Withdraw yen from ATMs at 7-Eleven or FamilyMart for the best rates.
What's the biggest expense in Tokyo?
Flights are typically the largest single cost (about ¥180,000 for two travelers), followed by accommodation (¥60,000 for 4 nights) and food (¥37,500). Staying in business hotels near major stations offers the best value.
