For most travelers, Japan is one of the most exciting destinations in the world. It’s full of interesting sights and delicious food, but it can also be a bit intimidating at first. So if you’re planning on traveling to Japan for the first time, here are some tips from our experienced team:
To apply for Japan’s 90-day tourist visa, you must have an itinerary set out of your travel dates and a confirmed hotel reservation.
To apply for Japan’s 90-day tourist visa, you must have an itinerary set out of your travel dates and a confirmed hotel reservation. You can also use this information as proof of onward travel if you need to apply for another visa while in Japan.
In addition to the above requirements, there are some other things that will make your application process easier:
- Make sure all documents are valid when applying at the embassy or consulate. If they’re not valid anymore (expired passport), then get them renewed before going there as it may take longer time than expected due to processing backlogs at embassies/consulates worldwide;
- Take note that some embassies require payment in cash only so check beforehand if they accept credit cards;
Many travelers choose to purchase travel insurance before going to Japan and having it ready to go when they arrive at Narita International Airport.
Travel insurance is important for travelers, and Japan is no exception. Many people choose to purchase travel insurance before going on vacation and have it ready to go when they arrive at Narita International Airport. Traveling with a pre-existing condition? Traveling with children? These are just some of the reasons why you may want to think about getting travel insurance before heading off on your trip!
Travelers can use their insurance plan in case they get sick or injured during their visit; if something happens that requires medical attention (like an accident), then this will be covered by the policy as well. Some plans also offer coverage for lost luggage or flight delays/cancellations as well as medical evacuation from Japan back home if necessary (which can be very expensive!).
The best way to get around Tokyo is by train, but there are also buses, shuttles and taxis available.

Trains are the most convenient way to travel in Tokyo because they’re fast, frequent and affordable. There’s a train station in every neighborhood that connects you with other parts of Japan or other cities within Tokyo itself. You can buy tickets at vending machines at stations or on your smartphone (we recommend buying an IC card for this). Buses are also available but they tend to be slower than trains unless it’s rush hour traffic when everyone is going home from work or school, so we recommend taking a taxi if you have time constraints!
If you’re planning on visiting Hokkaido or Kyushu this winter, pack warm clothes!
The weather in Japan can be very different depending on what part of the country you’re visiting. Hokkaido is known for its snowy winters and Kyushu is known for its humid summers, so it’s important to pack the right clothes for the season you’re visiting!
If you are planning on seeing both Hokkaido and Kyushu this winter, then we recommend bringing both warm clothes and light ones with you so that no matter where your travels take you throughout Japan, there will always be something available at hand when needed.
Over 500,000 cars were sold in Japan in 2017 alone.
After you arrive in Japan, you’ll probably want to get around. Fortunately for you, there are over 500,000 cars on the road. The country is also the world’s largest automobile exporter and second-largest manufacturer of cars (Toyota is number one). This means that there are plenty of options available when it comes to renting or buying a car while visiting Japan.
If you’re looking for something with more horsepower than an electric vehicle but less than a bullet train, then consider getting behind the wheel of one of these three popular choices:
Japan has some amazing seafood restaurants that can be found throughout the country.
If you’re looking for some of the best seafood in Japan, then look no further than these restaurants. There are many different types of seafood restaurants throughout the country–so much so that it would be impossible to list them all here. However, we can give you an idea of where some popular ones are located and what kinds of food they serve.
There are several cities that have great seafood places: Tokyo has many famous sushi restaurants; Osaka has its own unique style called “Kansai-style” (basically anything but traditional); Hiroshima has a few places specializing in oysters; Fukuoka is known for its grilled eels; Hokkaido serves up plenty of crab dishes along with everything else on their menu!
There are no McDonalds’ in Japan! Instead there are McDonald’s lookalikes called MOS Burger.
If you’re a big fan of McDonald’s, you might be surprised to learn that there are no McDonald’s in Japan. Instead, there is a Japanese burger chain called MOS Burger that looks very similar to the American fast food giant.
MOS Burger has more than 1,000 locations in Japan and offers many of the same foods as its American counterpart–burgers and fries being at the top of their list. The menu also includes chicken sandwiches and hot dogs (called “Mos Dog”). If that’s not enough for you, they also serve milkshakes!
The Japanese drink their tea very differently than Americans do – they don’t stir it into the cup first! They place their teabags in their cups, then pour hot water over them to steep instead.

They also use loose leaf teas instead of bagged varieties. In addition to being fresher and more flavorful, this method allows you to be more creative with your choice of brews, so you can experiment with different combinations until you find one that suits your taste buds best!
