Keep the first evening in Tokyo uncomplicated. Save the hotel address in Japanese and confirm check-in instructions before travelling. From Tokyo · Shinjuku · Ueno, allow time to find the correct exit and the hotel entrance.
Eat close to your accommodation and leave major sightseeing for another day. If your arrival is late, agree the arrangements with the property. Prepaid transport or activities should match the arrival you can realistically make.
