You could easily spend a few days in each location.

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.

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