Additional things to consider

-What about my phone?

Japan has notoriously bad signal even for people who get an international package from their provider. Because of this there are numerous global wifi providers at the airports where you can get a mobile hotspot to use through your stay. We recommend Ninja Wifi as they're easily reserved through their website NinjaWifi.com and drop off is super convenient at any airport through Japan.

-Train Travel

You'll be able to go almost anywhere you want to go throughout Tokyo with a few minutes walk and a train ride. Thankfully Japan and Google have worked together to make Google Maps an invaluable tool to navigate around. Toggling to the public transportation tab when looking up directions will give you numerous options for trains to take, all with reliable time tables, and back up trains for if you miss any stop or station along the way. It's very hard to get lost in this country even knowing next to nothing thanks to maps.

On top of that everyone should get a Welcome Suica Card. This is a small red rechargeable card that will allow you to easily pay your way through the subway without having to calculate a ticket cost every time you want to take a train. Don't worry about buying it now as they're easily acquired from the airport right after customs.
