Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transport
The country boasts an exceptional railway network, particularly the Shinkansen, the high-speed train that makes long-distance travel convenient. Within cities, subways and buses are the primary modes of transport. - Language
The official language is Japanese. However, in large cities and tourist areas, you’ll often find English speakers. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases can enhance your experience. - Culture and Customs
Punctuality is highly valued, and it is customary to remove your shoes upon entering a home. Greetings such as bowing are cultural norms. Tipping is not common and can even be seen as rude. - Currency
The currency is the Japanese yen. Many places accept credit cards, but it's useful to carry cash for small transactions. - Contrast between Tradition and Modernity
The country is a fascinating blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology. Visiting tranquil temples and zen gardens provides a wonderful contrast to the vibrant and modern city districts. - Clothing appropriate for the season (kimonos for cultural immersion)
- Up-to-date visa and travel documents
- Japanese yen for living expenses
- Train pass for easy travel
- Translation application to facilitate communication
- Travel guide or app to discover iconic sites
- Backpack for day trips
- Camera to capture the moment
- Plug adapter for recharging electronic devices
The best time to visit Japan is generally in the spring (March to May) when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, or in the autumn (September to November) when the leaves change color.
Discover the timeless charm of Kyoto with its stunning temples and gardens. Experience the vibrant hustle and bustle of Tokyo, where modernity meets tradition. Savor sushi at a traditional market or explore local dishes in the streets of Osaka. Don't miss the chance to gaze upon Mount Fuji, best seen from Hakone. For an authentic experience, stay in a ryokan and soothe your spirit in a traditional onsen. Travel beyond your dreams.
