Getting Around Tokyo
Tokyo is a huge sprawling city but it's served by one of the
world's best public transport systems. Here, I'll give you all the details on
getting around Tokyo easily.
Tokyo Airport Transport (Know the details)
* Subways and trains are the best way to get
around Tokyo. For full details, see
here
* A prepaid Suica or Pasmo card is the BEST way to pay for
transport. You can also use them for purchases at convenience
stores and many other places.
* Taxis are excellent but rather expensive.
* Buses aren't recommended for short-term visitors. Tokyo's buses are
extensive and efficient, but they're not ideal for tourists.
Still, if you do want to give them a try, you'll find all the
details
here.
Japanese Visa
Please look at the
list of the countries that have the visa exemption agreement
with Japan. If your country is included in the list, you usually
do not need to apply for an entry visa to Japan.
If your country is not included in the list, you need to obtain
a short-term stay visa ("tanki-shouyou visa" in Japanese) from
the embassy of Japan in your country.
Read carefully the Japanese visa guide provided by the ministry
of foreign affairs. For entry into Japan, a VISA may be required
for attendees from some countries. Please make sure whether you
need to apply for a VISA or not by contacting the local Japanese
consulate or embassy in your country or visiting the website of
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan at
http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html

*Please be kindly noted that The invitation letter from the
organizing committee will be sent upon the request only when you
register successfully, which may help but cannot guarantee you a
Visa.
Should your application be denied, the conference organizing
committee cannot change the decision of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, nor will the organizing committee engage in discussion
or correspondence with the consulate or the visa center on
behalf of the applicant.
