There's this tax-free system that I read, stating I whip out my passport to places with the tax free logo. Would it be worth the trouble carrying my passport around or do very few places have that logo?
My airbnb is located near Gotanda station (past south of Minato). 20-30 minute train to heart of Tokyo. Is this considered far?

If I could do my trip over again I would do 14 days and go to other parts of Japan as well. I stayed 7 in Tokyo and felt like it was enough. The tax free system is basically for the major chain stores like Bic Camera or Uniqlo but you need to spend a certain amount before you get tax free, usually about 5000 yen.
