Ahhh!! I’ve taken forever to finish this post cuz I loved our Tokyo trip so much! We had such an amazing time and have so many things to share! Here’s a few of our tips and tricks (I’m sure I’ll continue to add to this as I reminisce on the great times/memories):
Suica Card – reloadable metro cards (also works w/Apple Wallet) Suica card seemed to be accepted more places than the Passmo card; would also consider day pass tickets instead of the reloadable plans to give you more flexibility but this depends on your own usage.
Esim – we used Airalo and bought a 20GB plan since it allowed us to tether. Next time I would consider a lower plan for each of us to use so we could more easily track each other instead of relying solely on oner person’s signal.
Book flights that leave and arrive late home – this was the best way to readjust from jetlag! We boarded the plane, slept almost the whole way home and were pretty much back to Toronto time by Monday!
Trtl Pillow
WORTH THE INVESTMENT! We got 2 orders of their 2 pack bundles – 2 originals and 2 pros! What I discovered when I got home was that they’re MACHINE WASHABLE!!!
Timeshifter App
I used the free trial and it was really helpful just being aware of the best time to sleep, when to drink and/or avoid coffee, and light exposure! I wish it included time to eat/drink water…etc but I’m sure it’ll be included soon with another update!
Here was our haul from our 6 day trip in Tokyo! It’s our favourite trip to date! More details to come.
