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.

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.

When to book for Tokyo cherry blossoms?
Cherry blossoms peak late March to early April. Book flights and hotels 3-4 months ahead — prices double during sakura season. Ueno Park and Shinjuku Gyoen are top spots.
Tokyo summer heat precautions?
