Bumping this because I didn't get an answer about getting an e-visa vs just going through regular customs at the airport. Also, any suggestions on metro tickets. I see there's a 72 hour pass, but it looks like it doesn't work on all lines. What the easiest way to pay for the metro? 

E visa makes it a bit easier on landing. I did it and others who I know who have gone have done the same. Doesn't take too long to do and for me was better than having to think about after a long flight.

 

I just bought tickets every time I needed a trip on the metro. Don't reccomend that but there is a Suico card you can buy that can pay for all the lines. It's worth looking up a video or article on how the lines work as there are different companies operating different lines, even in the same station. But the metro is worth taking. Google maps is really useful for this and tells you when the next train arrives (and they're almost all on time), which car to enter, and which exit to take.

I was in Japan a couple weeks ago. Easiest way to pay for metro is to download the Suica app. You can add funds from your phone as necessary and don't need to bother with a card. We did not use the e-visa and blasted through customs, but it's kind of luck of the draw.

Which game? I'm going to the Chunichi game on the 23rd and then down in Yokohama on the 24th. I love Japanese baseball. You'll have a blast. 

We're going on the 22nd. We're in the orange section
