1. **Dining & Attractions**:
– **Restaurant reservations**: Snag the best tables effortlessly with Tabelog.
– **Attraction tickets**: Book directly on official websites for seamless entry.
– **Student perks**: Don’t forget your student ID—many attractions offer **50% discounts** for university students (yes, even in Japan!).

2. **Getting Around**:
– **Escalator etiquette**: Stand left, pass right—keep the flow smooth for everyone.
– **Suica card**: Skip the hassle—add it to your iPhone for instant access. Subway gates stay open by default; just tap and go. (They only close if someone tries to cheat!)
– **Buses**: Watch as buses tilt toward the curb for easy boarding.

Drivers greet you warmly and thank you when you leave. Need to exit? Press the “Stop” button in advance.
– **E-scooters vs. bikes**: Electric scooters are rare, but shared e-bikes (like Lime) are available—just watch for limited parking spots.
– **Taxis**: Save your yen—Japanese taxis are pricey.

Stick to the efficient, wallet-friendly public transport.
– **Spotless rides**: Even trucks gleam with fresh paint. Compact cars dominate the roads.

3. **Stay Smart**:
– **Check-in/out**: Late check-ins (after 3 PM) and early check-outs (before 10 AM) are standard. Drop your bags early if needed—just confirm timings with your hotel.
– **Slipper rule**: Many lodgings require swapping shoes for slippers at the entrance. Shower areas? Shoes off here too. (Even Uniqlo fitting rooms enforce this!)

4. **Public Spaces**:
– **Restrooms**: Immaculate and high-tech—think seat sanitizers, water-soluble toilet paper, and touch-free disposal bins.
– **Accessibility**: Cities are built for everyone, with disability-friendly infrastructure.
– **Green spaces**: Parks burst with meticulously tended flowers—vibrant and Instagram-worthy.
– **Trash tip**: Streets stay clean, but bins are scarce. Repurpose convenience store bags for waste.
