go tokyo is beginner friendly

ask for english menu lor

or some vending machine select and pay in cash

Google lens and translate are your good friend.
Those working inside subway station knows basic English also.

Google translate, that's all I use

no use for me leh... i slow person. all these real time translation really give me more issues .

 

[zoossh]

I learn about 10-20 phrase per country, Google Translate, voicetra and AI to help

restaurant menu if can look at it before hand will also save a lot of time

the japanese will also use translation app so it won’t be all on you

Chain restaurants like yoshinoya, coco ichi, kaiten sushi can use tablet to order.

I used Google Lens. Chain restaurants have English menus. These include Yakiniku Like! Yoshinoya, Matsuya, Kappa Sushi, Sushiro, Denny's, Saizeriya...
