There's usually buses that directly go from the airport to the city non-stop. It's easy to find its bus stop and usually as inexpensive as taking a train.
$200?? Forget it. For a taxi ride from Narita to Nishi Shinjuku, it cost $350. Never take a taxi in Tokyo unless you're really forced to do so, especially at midnight.
If you can find a Family Mart, 7-11 or Lawson's. They have trash cans on the outside of the store. So you can throw away your trash there. Just make sure to pay attention to sorting it into the right bin.
Taking a taxi isn't a mistake, it's just that it can be expensive if it's a long distance to the hotel. I took a taxi from Haneda to my nearby hotel after a late night flight and it really saved me grief, time, and energy, since I was traveling with several bags while moving from China.
As someone that lived in Tokyo for years and had recently gone back. Trash cans are everywhere if you know where to look. Most convenience stores have them. They are more often than not outside. Then the entrance way to most public parks will have them. Not to mention most train stations. I have never had a problem throwing away trash in Tokyo. I have never had problems with convenience store employees hastling me for throwing in their bin as long as you throw it in the correct bin. Next While Japan is generally a cash centered society you don't need to carry a lot of cash on you. Most of the more expensive places take card. In all my time in Japan outside of temples I can can count on two hands when I needed cash and most of them are around new years when everything but a few places basically shut down
If you're staying at a larger hotel in Tokyo, consider taking a Limousine Bus, especially if you have heavy bags and/or older travelers or ones with physical limitations.
suggestions from local Tokyo girl....The best way to move from Narita airport to central Tokyo is by Orange limousine bus.オレンジバス🚌. It takes you directly to the hotels. Your accommodations don't necessarily need to be the orange limo stop, anyone can take it. It helps you to just sit down all the way.its usually around 35 dollars, Haneda airport to hotels are between 15 to 17 dollars. Instead of dragging your luggage at transfer 🚆 Stations. Especially if you are a first time traveller. If you are going to relatives or friends house, just take carry-on luggage with you and send your Big luggages from the airport to the house, 1 day delivery 🚚. It's usually 20 to 30 dollars per big luggage depending on location. You can send your luggage from Narita airport to other prefectures, to Hokkaido ski resorts if you are skiing. 😊 Ski 🎿or snowboard usually are around 25 to 35 dollars.
Watching and taking notes as if i have money to go to japan😂
Mistake #4: please don’t pet Godzilla, giant monsters can be dangerous and you might become a snack.

Yes! The cash! I made the reversed mistake here moving to Europe from Japan.

Number one is a mistake in every country
Also never think that because you "learned" how to speak Japanese from anime that means you know what you're saying
The more I hear about Japan the less I want to visit
Hmm. If you have a lot of luggage, public transportation might not work for you. New rules!
These three "tips" could easily fit other countries as well🤷

Also when I went to Germany a lot of places there only did accept cash too so that also does happen in Germany
3 mistakes not to make in Japan
Just as a note. Depending on where you are staying in the Tokyo area, shuttle buses are more convenient than trains. Researching in advance pays off!
Just came back. Take cash with you into Japan if your bank likes to play games.
Regarding the trash cans: most convenient stores have them outside and they are nearly everywhere 😉 they also have toilets 🙃
