You could easily spend a few days in each location.

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month in Japan?

    With a month, you have time for a more in-depth exploration! Start with Tokyo and Kyoto as above, but add more regional experiences. Consider visiting Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, a powerful and moving experience. Explore the ancient castles of Osaka and Himeji.

    The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency. ATMs are readily available throughout the country, even in smaller towns and rural areas. Most ATMs in convenience stores like 7-Eleven and FamilyMart accept foreign cards, but it's always a good idea to check with your bank beforehand about international transaction fees.

For those seeking a slower pace of life, consider smaller towns in rural areas, like those in the countryside of Gifu Prefecture or the Tohoku region.

  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. They will provide you with a report, which you'll need to obtain a replacement passport from your country's embassy or consulate in Japan. Contact your embassy or consulate as soon as possible for assistance.
  • What seasonal celebrations make special?

    Spring features the iconic cherry blossom season (Hanami), with festivals and celebrations throughout the country. Autumn brings beautiful foliage and festivals like the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri (giant lantern floats) and the Kyoto Autumn Festival. Shichi-Go-San, a celebration for children, occurs in November.
