Given that Tokyo has the best urban transport in the world, getting around the city is guaranteed; however, the Japanese characters, language barriers and occasionally high prices involved can cause headaches. If you’re moving around the very centre of the city, the underground metro is perhaps the most convenient method but many additional forms of transport are at your disposal.

Taxi: if you are travelling by taxi around the city alone then expect to pay a lot of money. A typical fare for a 5kms journey costs more than 1,000 yen, which is reasonable if you are travelling in a group of four but costly if not. All taxis are metered and run at an additional 30 per cent charge between 23:00 and 05:00.

Foot: if you are just moving around central Tokyo and are not in a hurry, walking the city is not as stupid as it may seem and you�ll get to see a lot more than you would on the underground. Try to make up an itinerary that means moving large distances on the train and then allows you to walk as much as possible, preferably between districts where this is convenient; for instance between Shinjuku and Shibuya, which takes a little under one hour.
