        @Chap The guy in middle’s denim game is on point!

        We’d love to go back to Japan sometime soon too. Looking forward to your pictures and updates. 🙂

                              Looks great @Chap and makes me excited for my wife and my trip there in April. How are you finding getting around? Must be good to be with your son and his knowledge of the language?

                                Thanks @Nik getting around in Japan is quite easy. Public transport is fantastic you can get almost everywhere.
                                First thing you need is mobile Internet, you can get routers from provider at the arrival airport. Then you can use Google maps everywhere which also works perfect to plan your trip by trains and buses. Regarding payment for public transport, easiest thing is a payment app on your phone (Suica for example for Tokyo-Kantō, Kyoto and East Japan Railway) but doesn't work for the Shinkansen lines. Shinkansen tickets can be bought at the station. If you carry a lot of luggage with you and travel around, luggage transport can be very easily arranged (by hotels or agencies at airports and train stations, Yamato for example ).
                                What plans do have? Where are you going to?

                                  Dinner in a Sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Those small (Omakase) restaurants can be found everywhere in Japan although they are sometimes quite hard to find (no signs, no menu) and difficult to book. They are very small, often only a couple of counter seats. You need to book them in advance often months before and also have to pay in advance. You can't just call them and ask for a reservation (at least as a non local). If you are in a hotel you can ask the concierge to book or use a booking platform. We had some very good experiences with booking via Pocket Concierge and Omakase.in. No disappointment so far. I love to sit at the counter and watch the awesome skills and precision of the sushi masters.

                                        @Chap Thanks that's helpful. Someone told me Shinkansen are the same price in advance or on the day, is that true? We will get Suica. In the second half of April we are spending a few days in Tokyo, then a ryokan in Hakone, then Osaka and Kyoto before returning to Tokyo for a few days.

                                          No discounts on Shinkansens, but do try and book in advance, they sometimes get fearfully full. If you have large luggage try and book a seat with luggage space (end of a carriage).
