Money and Costs

Japan is one the most expensive countries in Asia. There is little tipping or bargaining: if you want to show your gratitude, give a gift rather than a tip.

When to go

Blooming cherry blossoms are reason enough to visit Tokyo in spring. The muggy summer is uncomfortable; the Golden Week national holiday, starting 29 April, attracts even more crowds than usual.
