What you can do is contact an Authorized Ticket Reseller in your home country and acquire your tickets through them. <a href=\"https:\/\/ticket.tokyo2020.org\/\">Click here<\/a> to learn more about the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to costs, ticket prices start from 12,000 yen (for adults) or 2,020 yen (for children, senior students, and people with disabilities). For the opening and closing ceremonies, playoff matches, and other special events, ticket prices go as high as 300,000 yen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do you use Japanese public transportation system?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s public transportation network is highly regarded around the world. Its extensive system of Shinkansen or Japanese bullet trains, rapid and express trains, local and commuter trains, metro and subways, buses, and others should make your travels comfortable, convenient, and hassle-free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to travel to multiple cities during your stay, you may want to look into getting a Japan Rail Pass to save some money. The cost of an ordinary nationwide 7-day Japan Rail Pass, for instance, is equivalent to the total cost of a roundtrip between Tokyo and Osaka and a day trip to Himeji. You can find out more about the Japan Rail Pass by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/?utm_source=aff&amp;utm_medium=cpa&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;affiliate=mobal0739035001509983086\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For travel within Tokyo, you should get yourself an IC card &#8212; whether a Pasmo or a Suica. Having one will save you a lot of time, as you will only need to tap it on a card reader every time you enter and exit the turnstiles at train stations. Check out the official websites of Pasmo, Suica, the, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyometro.jp\/en\/ticket\/travel\/index.html\">Tokyo Metro<\/a> to read more about how IC cards work and other important information on the Tokyo public transportation network.

Therefore, you have to pack the following things for your comfort:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clothes that are made of light, thin, and breathable materials<\/li>\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\n<li>Deodorant<\/li>\n<li>Hat<\/li>\n<li>Folding fan<\/li>\n<li>Face towel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you go sightseeing, you should not forget to bring a bottle of water to rehydrate yourself and an extra shirt, especially if you sweat so much. You should also wear shoes that offer great support and comfort, as you will be walking a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How can you get internet access?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having 24\/7 internet access on your trip to Japan gives you so much convenience and flexibility.
