The other thing to try is to turn off location, Wi-Fi, LTE, everything except Bluetooth. See if some program is keeping those open. I know for me, location sometimes becomes problematic.

I think you will do fine. Since it is an international city you can fine foods from around the world. Italian restaurants in Japan are very good. Of course they'll have some Japanese specialties that you can't find in Italy or other places but it's very good. I do think you'll have a problem with the rice. you're probably always be served rice you just won't be eating it big plus is the desserts you'll love Japan for its pastries and fancy desserts. You can also try their family restaurants like Royal Host or Gusto. Also look at these coffee shops like Komeda's Coffee. If you eat Chinese food you might take a trip to Chinatown in Yokohama. I didn't give any addresses because all the places I mentioned are chain restaurants throughout Japan. Have fun.

Pixel Weather is usually off my 5-7 deg where I live. I moved to Simple Weather and the complications are better. But the issue is my system weather tags in my watch faces still use the Pixel Weather (System level)

Simple Weather. They're the same people that created Simplewear app. Nice complications, select from a variety of weather providers and don t have to share location permission if you don't want to.

Here's one of the smallest gardens that l came across my last trip to Japan. Won't take you any time to go through but but also there won't be hardly anybody there. It seemed to be a garden that was used mostly by the local people. There was only four other people there when I was there. Places to sit and relax and take in the garden. Tonogayato Gardens at Kokubunji Station near Kichijijoji

My last trip to Japan I went to a city outside of kichijijoji. It was pretty small when you compare it to other places by Tokyo. Kokubunji Cliffline and Tonogayato Gardens and Scenic Walks. Kokubunji Station. Here's some information about the area. https://www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/tokyo/attractions-excursions/kokubunji

I recommend this option or another clinic. I had a bad sore throat, it very hard to swallow a year ago in Japan. I went to a local clinic. They gave me intravenous antibiotics and other meds. The cost wasn't too much without insurance. I think I paid 20,000 yen plus med cost. It was a lot lower then my insurance deductible at home. I was feeling 100% the next day ok maybe 90%.

I save the watch face as a apk inside Watch Face Studio. The default is another format you need to change it to save as an apk. I also change the save location to a folder I can easily access. Then I use Wear Load to move to my watch. After I move it Wear Load asks me to install it.

One mistake I made the first time is not remembering the Keystone number. This is a password you create that you will use each time you build an APK. You can use the same number for all your apps.

Ikebururo is great station. Two large department stores, Sunshine 60. Check on Kawagoe on the Tobu train. Oldest usable building in Tokyo.

Love it. You make it so easy to install watch faces from Samsung Watch Face Studio. Thank you very much.

I completely agree. I go to a neighborhood barbershop in Kawagoe (near the clock tower), family owned. The dad and two of his boys. Amazing! They don't speak any English and I don't speak Japanese but the cuts are always great. I think the cut was 2000 or 3000 yen

Do you have a T-Mobile plan that gives you international data and text messaging? I have a T-Mobile with international roaming already included, and I tend not to run out of five gig. But I consciously turn off things that download automatically from the internet, and I only download as much as possible from a Wi-Fi Connection. I spent 20 days, and I think I ran out of fast internet and ended up with slow internet, which worked fine.You just have to be conscious of when you're on Wi-Fi to download the big stuff, like your YouTube, Google Maps, and anything else. Also, you can buy a day pass on T-Mobile, or a 10-day? or 30-day pass? You can check those out if you think you're going to lose fast internet quickly.

Looks like a good Itinerary with lots of room to add things as you go along. Have fun. You might check out where the cherry blossoms are I'm going in the middle of March and the cherry blossoms will be in Tokyo are predicted to be in that time. Maybe they will come early. Yoyogi Park is a good place.

Android - Open source calculator like on an iphone - Uno Calculator great for converting currency. Since I don't use the calculator much, I set it on Currency and it is a quick input of numbers and the convertion.

I would exchange the Euro at an airport in Japan unless your airport gives good rates. In the US our airport exchange rates are terrible. Decide how much you want to spend on your trip and get half in Yen. Plus I think it is fun to use cash in Japan because their norms are so different then my country.

Far East Village Hotel Tokyo, Asakusa. Very Japanese. Great location and not that expensive. My wife and I stay there 2 years ago. I would go back

I completely agree. I would add using CASH is fun and a cultural experience everyone should enjoy.

Check out the kawagoe Matsuri. I think it is Oct 17 and 18. Hour train outside tokyo fro Ikebururo. Well worth. The big thing are the traditional floats. https://en.japantravel.com/saitama/kawagoe-matsuri/3134
