About Japan FAQs
Japan is beautiful year-round, but spring (March–May) for cherry blossoms and autumn (September–November) for fall foliage are the most popular times. Summer offers festivals and fireworks, while winter brings skiing and illuminations.
Japan uses the Japanese Yen (JPY, ¥). While Japan is increasingly cashless in cities, many smaller establishments, temples, and rural areas still prefer cash. We recommend carrying some yen at all times.
Yes, you can exchange currency at international airports, banks, and post offices. ATMs at 7-Eleven, Japan Post, and major convenience stores also accept most foreign cards. Exchange rates are generally fair at these locations.
The Shinkansen (bullet train) is the fastest and most efficient way to travel between cities. For shorter distances, local trains and subways are excellent. The Japan Rail Pass offers unlimited Shinkansen travel and is ideal for multi-city itineraries.
We recommend at least 10–14 days to experience Japan's highlights: Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, and surrounding areas. For a deeper exploration including Tohoku, Kyushu, or Hokkaido, 2–3 weeks is ideal.
