<p> Japan has been a popular destination for tourism for many decades and continues to draw
|
|
|
curious travelers from all over the world. One reason is that the country has a special
|
|
|
quality created from a magical mixture of nature, history, and modernity. </p>
|
|
|
<p> No matter what it is that draws people to Japan, the country and culture always leave
|
|
|
lasting impressions on those who visit. </p>
|
|
|
<p> While Japan is a top choice destination for many travelers, it can also be slightly
|
|
|
daunting to prepare for a holiday there. There is so much information about where to go
|
|
|
and what to see, that it can be difficult to find out about the nitty-gritty details of
|
|
|
traveling in this beautiful country. </p>
|
|
|
<p> In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know for planning a trip to Japan,
|
|
|
including why you should visit, when you should visit, our favorite destinations, where
|
|
|
to stay, what to eat, how to get around, and more. </p>

<h2> Highlights </h2>
|
|
|
<ul class="InfoList">
|
|
|
<li> The top reasons to travel to Japan include its culture and ancient history,
|
|
|
world-class cuisine, and quality of service. </li>
|
|
|
<li> You can visit Japan at any time of year though there are positives and
|
|
|
negatives of each season. Spring is the high season, with the most beautiful
|
|
|
weather, but largest crowds. </li>
|
|
|
<li> There is plenty to see everywhere in Japan but our favorite cities include
|
|
|
Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Nara, Takayama, Sapporo, and Uji. Some of these are large
|
|
|
and modern, while others exhibit a rural and more natural version of Japan.
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
<li> We suggest staying in a <em>ryokan</em> (traditional Japanese hotel) for a
|
|
|
relaxing experience, or staying in a hotel conveniently situated for public
|
|
|
transport in the larger cities. </li>
|
|
|
<li> The food in Japan is incredible and some must-tries include <em>sushi</em>,
|
|
|
<em>ramen</em>, <em>wagashi</em>, and a <em>kaiseki</em> meal. </li>
|
|
|
<li> The cheapest and best way to travel in Japanese cities or from city to city is
|
|
|
by using public transport. </li>
|
|
|
<li> The cost of traveling in Japan will be similar to that of traveling in a
|
|
|
western country, though there are some ways to help you save money. </li>
|
|
|
<li> Citizens of 68 countries can obtain a 90-day visa on arrival in Japan, simply
|
|
|
by presenting their passport and proof of return ticket. </li>

<p> Japan offers a chance to immerse yourself in a new culture, because here
|
|
|
you can not only visit incredible ancient castles and temples, but can
|
|
|
also become involved personally in different aspects of the culture.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p> In Tokyo, guests can learn the ins and outs of making sushi or
|
|
|
<em>wagashi</em> by attending cooking classes. If you want to focus on
|
|
|
ancient Japan you can explore the temples in the countryside around
|
|

Kyoto, or discover the origins of Uji tea. </p>

<h2> Best time to visit Japan </h2>
|
|
|
<p> Japan can be visited year-round, though there are benefits and drawbacks of every
|
|
|
season. There are also some events such as the blooming of the cherry blossoms that
|
|
|
can be only experienced during certain times of year. </p>
|
|
|
<section>
|
|
|
<h3> Spring </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Spring is one of the most popular times to visit Japan because of the beautiful,
|
|
|
comfortable weather and the arrival of the cherry blossoms. The blooming of
|
|
|
cherry blossoms or <em>sakura</em> has been a major part of Japanese culture for
|
|
|
over 1,000 years and can only be experienced in the spring. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Because of the opportunity to witness <em>sakura</em> and the beautiful weather
|
|
|
throughout the country, spring is high season in Japan, the time of year with
|
|
|
most crowds and highest cost. If traveling to Japan in spring, it will be
|
|
|
important to book flights and hotels well in advance. </p>

<p> Summer is the festival season in Japan, offering visitors an opportunity to
|
|
|
experience multiple holidays and firework-shows in another country. Crowds are
|
|
|
smaller in Japan in the summer, which means that standard prices for
|
|
|
accommodation and flights are often lower. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Many people, however, choose not to visit Japan in the summer due to the high
|
|
|
heat and humidity. Though almost every new building is air-conditioned, you can
|
|
|
expect to experience average temperatures of 32 degrees Celsius (90 F) outside,
|
|
|
and air that is heavy and sticky. </p>

<h3> Fall </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Although not as busy as spring, fall is the second most popular time to travel
|
|
|
to Japan. In the fall, the weather cools down and the lower humidity allows for
|
|
|
more comfortable traveling outdoors. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Many people choose to visit Japan in the fall due to the changing colors of the
|
|
|
leaves, turning brilliant orange and red, in the countryside near Kyoto and
|
|
|
Tokyo. Autumn is also the best time to visit some of Japan's best national
|
|
|
parks, such as Mount Fuji and the Five Lakes. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Although autumn isn't as busy as spring, it is still important to book well in
|
|
|
advance. </p>

<h3> Winter </h3>
|
|
|
<p> During winter, especially at the north of the Japanese islands, there are icy
|
|
|
winds from Siberia often accompanied by heavy snows. This makes for great
|
|
|
opportunities to participate in winter sports, such as skiing, in some of the
|
|
|
many famous resorts and mountains. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Winter in Japan is also the best time to stay in a <em>ryokan</em>, with a
|
|
|
natural hot spring. Nothing beats bathing in the hot pools surrounded by snow
|
|
|
and quiet forests. In Yudanaka, visitors can watch monkeys bathe in the hot
|
|
|
springs of the national parks. </p>

<p> Kyoto is home to the striking Fushimi Inari Shrine, which featured in

feel like you are on a trip back in time. </p>

<p> In Kyoto, visitors are never too far from the natural side of Japan. In fact,

the city has multiple famous places for viewing the <em>sakura</em>, the

beautiful event are the Philosopher's Walk in the city and Arashiyama just

<h3> Takayama and Shirakawa-go </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Takayama is a city in the mountainous Hida region of the country, a great place
|
|
|
for escaping from the country's larger cities and relaxing for a few days in the
|
|
|
rural countryside. When arriving in Takayama, most guests like to visit the
|
|
|
local Miyagawa Market, to buy some local crafts and farm products and to observe
|
|
|
the local people. </p>
|
|
|
<div class="row ArticleInfo">
|
|
|
<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">
|
|
|
<p> Takayama is also famous for Takayama Jinya, which was a local government
|
|
|
office during the Edo period (1603-1868) and is now a museum open to the
|
|
|
public. After visiting the museum, many guests enjoy stopping at the
|
|
|
local sake brewery, renowned nation-wide thanks to the clear water in
|
|
|
the surrounding area. </p>
|
|
|
<p> After exploring Takayama, many visitors like to go to Shirakawa-go to
|
|
|
see its near-perfectly preserved Old Town, still looking just as it did
|
|

during the Edo period. The Old Town is famous for its traditional
|

gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old.

<h3> Kanazawa </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Kanazawa is an ancient Japanese city that during the Edo period used to be home
|
|
|
to one of the most powerful clans in the country. Today, Kanazawa is a great
|
|
|
place to visit for anyone interested in the ancient culture of the country. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Because Kanazawa wasn’t destroyed by air raids during WWII, it’s one of the few
|
|
|
areas left with so many surviving ancient districts. Parts of the old castle,
|
|
|
the samurai district, and Chava entertainment district have all survived. </p>
|
|
|
<p> When arriving in Kanazawa, most visitors like to start by exploring the
|
|
|
Kenroku-en Garden, one of Japan’s top three gardens, including not only
|
|
|
beautiful plants and trees but also many shrines near the path. Near the garden,
|
|
|
there is also the Kagayuzen Kaikan where visitors can watch demonstrations of
|
|
|
ancient silk-painting techniques. </p>

district for a closer look into what life as a <em>samurai</em> (a
|

member of the Japanese warrior caste) used to be like. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Kanazawa also has many geisha districts. The Higashi Chaya District is

the largest and most interesting, with many shops and cages lining the

<h2> Accommodation in Japan </h2>

<div class="row ArticleInfo">

<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">
|
|
|
<p> While there is plenty of accommodation available in Japan, with different
|
|
|
standards, our favorite is the <em>ryokan</em>. A <em>ryokan</em> is a
|
|
|
traditional Japanese inn that will make you feel simultaneously comfortable
|
|
|
and relaxed. Its floors are usually made of rice- or bamboo-straw. You sleep
|
|
|
on traditional mattresses on the floor, and eat fresh <em>kaiseki</em>-style
|
|
|
dinners. </p>
|
|
|
<p> <em>Ryokans</em> are the essence of comfort. Members of staff are often
|
|
|
dressed in kimonos, they provide excellent service, the food is top-tier,
|
|
|
and many <em>ryokans</em> are located on natural hot springs that have
|
|
|
waters with healing properties. </p>

<p> Our favorite <em>ryokan</em> is the Kowakien Tenyu in Hakone, with its Japanese
|
|
|
western-style rooms and atmosphere of total peace and harmony. Kowakien Tenyu also
|
|
|
provides access to <em>onsens</em>, or hot spring baths, to its guests. These are a

great way to relax, before or after sightseeing. Hakone hot springs are particularly

<p> While <em>ryokans</em> are the perfect places to stay in Hakone and other

scenic and rural areas of Japan, when staying in the larger cities such as

|
Tokyo or Kyoto, it's often best to choose hotels according to comfort,
|
|

combined with location and convenience. </p>
|
|
|
<p> We think hotels near the main city train stations are best for travelers, so
|
|

it’s easy to explore the city. Two of our favorites are Hotel Gracery

Shinjuku and Mitsui Garden Kyoto Sanjo. </p>

<h2> Japanese cuisine </h2>
|
|
|
<p> Japanese cuisine focuses on quality ingredients and balance of flavor that is likely
|
|
|
to leave all visitors excited and entranced. Whether it’s the sheer depth of flavor
|
|
|
and variety of <em>ramen</em> throughout the country, or the precision that goes

into creating sushi and <em>wagashi</em>, Japanese cuisine is as exciting as it is

<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">

|
|
<p> When arriving in Japan, most visitors start with <em>ramen</em>, the perfect
|
|
|
dish for any time of day. <em>Ramen</em> broth can taste very different
|
|
|
depending on the region. Overall there are 3 main types, including
|
|
|
<em>shoyu</em> which is soy-sauce-based, <em>miso</em> which is mostly
|
|
|
served in northern Japan, and <em>tonkotsu</em> which is pork-based. </p>
|
|
|
<p> For a more hands-on experience of Japanese cuisine, you could sign up for a
|
|
|
cooking class. Many classes are available in Tokyo and Kyoto, including
|
|
|
<em>sushi</em> classes and <em>wagashi</em>-making classes. <em>Wagashi</em>
|
|
|
are traditional Japanese sweets, a great option for those who are vegetarian
|
|
|
or don’t like fish. </p>

<h2> Transportation in Japan </h2>
|
|
|
<p> One important reason why traveling is easy in Japan is the country's convenient and
|
|
|
reliable public transportation. It is covered in a network of train, subway, and bus
|
|
|
lines, which makes it possible to get wherever you need to go with ease and comfort.
|
|

<h3> From city to city </h3>
|
|
|
<p> The famous Japanese bullet train, or <em>shinkansen</em>, provides an easy and
|
|
|
quick way to travel across the whole country, without the risk of delays or the
|
|
|
hassle of getting to an airport. Each <em>shinkansen</em> line has different
|
|
|
types of train, which customers can choose from. </p>
|
|
|
<p> For example, for travelers in a rush it’s possible to choose the Hikari train,
|
|
|
which stops at only larger stations. It is also possible to choose trains that
|
|
|
make only direct trips to larger cities, saving travelers quite a bit of time.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p> For travelers who want to get from Tokyo to Kyoto, or vice versa,
|
|
|
<em>shinkansen</em> trains are the best bet. The journey only takes about 140
|
|
|
minutes. </p>

</div>
|
|
|
<p> If you think you will be using trains a lot in Japan, you can purchase a JR
|
|
|
(Japan Rail) pass, which is relatively cheap and gives travelers access to all
|
|
|
JR lines across the country. A 7-day JR pass is typically enough for most
|
|
|
travelers, and costs around 29,110 yen (about $260). </p>
|
|
|
<p> It is also possible to fly between cities in Japan, though with the comfort and
|
|
|
availability of trains, most travelers decide to skip the airport hassle. </p>
|
|
|
<p> The one downside of traveling by train is that there is often little space for
|
|
|
luggage larger than a carry-on suitcase. Many hotels do, however, provide the
|
|
|
service of sending your luggage on to your next hotel. </p>

<p> The booming metropolis of Tokyo is covered in subway, train, and bus
|
|
|
lines, making it easy to explore and traverse. When traveling through
|
|
|
central Tokyo, the JR East and subway lines are most convenient. </p>
|
|
|
<p> In total, the city has 13 subway lines along with train lines,
|
|
|
connecting at the city's 6 major stations: Tokyo, Ueno, Ikebukuro,
|
|
|
Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Shinagawa. </p>

<p> The two busiest and biggest stations in Japan are Shinjuku and Shibuya. Shinjuku
|
|
|
station serves as the main hub between inner city rail, commuter rail, and metro
|
|
|
lines. It is used by around 3.6 million people every day. From Shinjuku, you can
|
|
|
catch the Express to Narita Airport or get to Hakone by using the Romance car.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p> Shibuya station is another important and bustling station in Tokyo. The station
|
|
|
itself and its pedestrian exits have made Shibuya world-famous. On average, 2.4
|
|
|
million passengers use the station every day. It mostly handles traffic from the
|
|
|
city to southern and western suburbs. </p>

<h3> Kyoto </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Compared to Tokyo, public transportation in Kyoto is less developed, with only
|
|
|
two subway lines, several railway companies, and an extensive network of bus
|
|
|
lines. Most places in the city, however, can still be reached using Kyoto's
|
|
|
public transportation. </p>
|
|
|
<p> The main train station is Kyoto Station, receiving JR bullet trains from Tokyo
|
|
|
and other major cities. The station is also a hub for many ordinary trains
|
|
|
coming into Kyoto, as well as for subway and bus lines. </p>
|
|
|
<p> From Tokyo to Kyoto, Hikari trains take about 140 minutes and ordinary trains
|
|
|
take about 4 hours. Buying a JR pass is a good way to make this journey, but
|
|
|
some companies offer special deals for foreign travelers; such as Japanican,
|
|
|
which offers a round trip from Tokyo to Kyoto plus a bus pass for only 21,000
|
|
|
yen (about $185). </p>

|
<div class="row ArticleInfo">
|
|
|
<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">
|
|
|
<p> Kyoto’s bus system is quite convenient for travelers to get around the
|
|
|
city and is the best way to reach many of the city’s main attractions.
|
|
|
Tourist offices in Kyoto provide useful English maps to help travelers
|
|
|
navigate the web of bus lines. In order to use all trains and buses in
|
|
|
Kyoto, travelers can purchase an IC card or a 1-day pass, which allows
|
|
|
access to buses and metro. </p>

<h2> How to budget for a trip to Japan </h2>
|
|
|
<p> Although Japan is one of the most expensive countries in Asia to visit, you still
|
|
|
don't need to bust your budget to enjoy your experience here. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Costs of travel in Japan are quite similar to those in western countries. Typically
|
|
|
a 3-star package tour starts from about $600 USD per person per day, including
|
|
|
public transportation, full-day itinerary, a private guide, tickets for attractions,
|
|
|
and a local 3-star hotel. </p>
|
|
|
<section>
|
|
|
<h3> Intimate experience afforded by traveling in private </h3>
|
|
|
<p> Purchasing a travel package for visiting Japan has many benefits for travelers,
|
|
|
especially because having a private guide and an itinerary allows visitors not
|
|
|
only to see as many attractions as possible, but also to learn about them from a
|
|
|
local. </p>
|
|
|
<p> We like to arrange itineraries according to the goals of the traveler, the
|
|
|
must-see sites, and the chances of experiencing authentic local culture. </p>
|
|
|
<div class="row ArticleInfo">
|
|
|
<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">
|
|
|
<p> Having a local guide on your journey through Japan can be incredibly
|
|
|
important. Guides know the local language and which areas and
|
|
|
attractions are being visited. They can arrange for deals and activities
|
|
|
that people traveling alone would not know how to organize. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Guides can also teach travelers about important features of visiting
|
|
|
Japan, such as how to navigate public transportation in order to see
|
|
|
every attraction you wish to see, which can be complicated in large
|
|
|
crowded cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. </p>

|
|
|
idea to travel in a group or to have a half-independent half-guided itinerary.

<h3> Make your money go further </h3>
|
|
|
<p> While in Japan, you can use plenty of tips and tricks for saving money. </p>
|
|
|
<p> The first and foremost is to take public transport and to buy a pre-loaded card,
|
|
|
such as the SUICA, PASMO, or ICOCA cards, that can be used for underground
|
|
|
metros. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Not only is public transport typically very convenient in Japan, it is also much
|
|
|
cheaper than the average $1,000 a day needed to rent a private car with driver.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p> Our second money-saving tip is to stay in a local 3-star hotel near a major
|
|
|
subway station. Local hotels will be much cheaper than international chains, and
|
|
|
being near a subway station will allow you to use public transport easily,
|
|
|
saving even more. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Local 3-star hotels usually start from US $160 per room per night. Our favorites
|
|
|
include the Citadines Central Shinjuku in Tokyo and the Hotel Gracery Kyoto
|
|
|
Sanjo. </p>
|
|
|
<div class="row ArticleInfo">
|
|
|
<div class="col-md-14 col-sm-14 col-xs-24">
|
|
|
<p> Some other tips for saving money in Japan include eating cheap sometimes
|
|
|
by grabbing a quick bite at a <em>ramen</em> stall or even a local
|
|
|
convenience store. You can also eat at a conveyor-belt <em>sushi</em>
|
|
|
restaurant, which is not only fun and high-tech but cheap as well. </p>

<h2> Visit Japan as a temporary visitor </h2>
|
|
|
<p> Another benefit of traveling to Japan is that citizens of 68 countries, including
|
|
|
most western countries, can enter for 90 days without a visa. Only a valid passport
|
|
|
and proof of return ticket is required, and travelers can receive tourist visas upon
|
|
|
entry. </p>
|
|
|
<p> The 68 countries that qualify for visa-on-arrival (tanki-taizai) include Australia,
|
|
|
Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, the US, the UK, and almost all other
|
|
|
European nations. </p>
|
|
|
<p> All visitors are routinely fingerprinted and photographed when entering Japan. For
|
|
|
official advice, please contact your local Japanese embassy or consulate. </p>

<h2> How to fly to Japan </h2>
|
|
|
<p> Most flights from international starting points such as Europe, North America,
|
|
|
Australia, and New Zealand, land at Narita International Airport in Tokyo or Kansai
|
|
|
International Airport in Osaka. These airports are conveniently close to their
|
|
|
corresponding cities and are international hubs for some of Japan’s leading
|
|
|
airlines. </p>
|
|
|
<p> Besides these two major airports, there is also the New Chitose Airport in Sapporo,
|
|
|
the Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya, and the Naha Airport in Okinawa.
|
|
|
It's a good idea to consider ticket prices to different airports, as well as your
|
|
|
travel itinerary, when deciding which city you would like to fly in to. </p>
|
|
|
<p> For the best prices, we advise buying tickets at least 6 weeks in advance. Good
|
|
|
websites to visit for cheap tickets include expedia.com and skyscanner.com. </p>
