What are the signature techniques Mercedes Jackson uses for solo travel safety and itinerary planning in Tokyo?

Mercedes Jackson shares several tips for solo travel safety and itinerary planning in Tokyo. Here are some key points:

• Translation App: She recommends downloading a translation app as most people in Tokyo do not speak English.
• International License Permit: If you plan to do the Mario Karts, make sure to get your international license permit from AAA before coming.
• Advance Reservations: Book reservations ahead of time as most places are booked in advance.
• Public Transportation: She suggests using the train as Ubers and taxis can be pricey and traffic can be heavy. Using Google Maps navigation system can make it easier.
• Early Departure: Leave early to get to your destination due to traffic or to figure out the public transportation.
• Shopping: She recommends going vintage designer shopping, which is tax-free with your passport and cheaper than in America or Europe.
