When I went to Japan for the first time and had a firsthand experience of its capital Tokyo, it wasn’t as smooth as I imagined it to be, particularly during the first couple of days. It was overwhelming not just because I was a first timer, but also because I was traveling alone. I did some pretty good research prior to my travel (glad I did) but still, there were things I wished I knew before traveling to Japan. It could have been a lot easier for me to get around and do the things that I wanted to do.
