Thank you! This is very helpful, I really appreciate your response. I will let my friends know.
One of my friends joining me really wants to try a good Kabayaki restaurant when he is in Tokyo, do you have recommendations for one which is accessible? We heard that sometimes good restaurants require a reservation several weeks to a month in advance so we would have to start making reservations soon.
On a similar but different note, we will likely have to get pocket wifi, e-sim, and suica cards along with some local currency through exchange or an ATM as soon as we can after arriving in the airport. I will likely be put in charge of this so if I can get any guidance or recommendations that would be greatly appreciated.
