| | | | I've just returned from a month-long trip, two weeks of which were spent in Japan. My husband and I visited Tokyo and Kyoto and I'd like to share with you some things that I learned from my visit to The Land of the Rising Sun.
This is just my experience but I tried to document some things that, hopefully, will make planning your visit a little easier and help you to save money on a trip to Japan. In part one of my two-part trip report, I'll cover how to get around Japan including public transportation, IC cards and Japanese trains.

I was a little intimidated by public transportation in Japan before my trip. I shouldn't have been, though – subways in Tokyo and Kyoto are very easy to navigate. There are a lot of stations, so you'll never have to walk far without finding a subway station.
In Tokyo, all the subway lines are color-coded and are marked with an English letter. Stations are all numbered and each station is announced and its name and corresponding letter/number are also shown on the electronic displays in subway cars. Here's a screenshot of a small section of Tokyo subway.
