Be Quiet on Trains
It is considered highly rude to talk on the phone or have loud conversations on the Tokyo subway. Keep your voice down and put your phone on silent.

There are almost zero public trash cans in Tokyo. You are expected to carry your trash with you until you get home or find a convenience store.
Eat at the 'Combini'
