Practical tips for Japan

Getting from the airport

From Narita or Haneda, a train such as the Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner or Tokyo Monorail is usually faster and far cheaper than a taxi into central Tokyo.

IC cards for trains and buses

A rechargeable IC card like Suica or Pasmo (or its digital version on your phone) works on almost all trains, subways and buses across Japan.

Cash, eSIM and etiquette

Many smaller shops and restaurants are cash-only, so carry yen. Activate an eSIM or pocket WiFi before you arrive, and note that tipping is not expected in Japan.

Frequently asked questions

Are these apps really cheaper than a regular taxi?

Yes. Ride-hailing apps show the price before you book, and in most cities they are noticeably cheaper than flagging a taxi on the street or at an airport rank, especially with an active promo code.

How do I use a promo code?

Tap the code on this page to copy it to your clipboard — the app or website will open automatically. Paste the code into the app's 'Promo code' or 'Vouchers' section before booking your ride.

Do I need to install the app before I arrive?

We recommend installing the ride-hailing apps and activating your eSIM before you travel, so everything is ready to use as soon as you land.

How often are the codes updated?

We review and update the codes regularly. If a code stops working, check back here for the latest version.
