Oh, forgot to mention. Oddly, for a tech amazing country, credit card adoption in Japan isn't like here. Make sure you have enough (a lot) cash to get you through your trip.
Quoted for truth on both accounts.

To LGA and anyone going - bring cash, and always have it on hand. And if not, your Suica or Pasmo card will suffice. I highly recommend getting one, and you can get a tourist one at Narita that I think gives you extra credit or a discount on a train deal or something. It's been a while.

FYI - Pasmo and Suica are great for using the non-JR trains around Tokyo and beyond. The JR Pass should only be considered if you are planning on going elsewhere other than where you land (Tokyo or Osaka).
