This is a few ideas for a novice traveller and first-time visitor to Tokyo.

• Always carry on you the full address of the hotel that you are staying in.  
• Wear a security wallet under your clothes in any city worldwide.  
• Get out and walk around the local area. Observe the street signage and neon signs. 
• Explore any department stores or shopping arcade.
• Take a trip on the Tokyo subway. 
• Take a guided tour, even if it is a short one.  You learn so much with a tourguide.
