Frequently asked questions about hotels in Japan
What are the best landmarks to visit in Japan?
Choosing the 'best' is subjective, but some iconic landmarks include Tokyo's Sensō-ji Temple (oldest temple), the Imperial Palace East Garden, and the vibrant Shibuya Crossing. Kyoto boasts Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Fushimi Inari-taisha (thousands of vermillion gates), and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Mount Fuji is a must-see natural landmark, and Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome are poignant historical sites.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Japan?
Experiences vary widely. Consider a traditional tea ceremony, visiting a beautiful Japanese garden like Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa, or exploring ancient temples and shrines. For something different, try a Sumo wrestling tournament (seasonal), or take a bullet train journey. Immerse yourself in the diverse culture by visiting local markets and trying street food.
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer pleasant temperatures and stunning scenery, particularly for cherry blossom viewing in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. Summer (June-August) is hot and humid, while winter (December-February) can be very cold, especially in the north, but offers opportunities for skiing and snowboarding in Hokkaido.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Japan?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Japan?
A week allows for exploring multiple areas. Tokyo offers diverse neighbourhoods like Shibuya (trendy), Shinjuku (skyscrapers and nightlife), and Asakusa (traditional). Kyoto provides a rich cultural experience, while Osaka is known for its food scene. Consider splitting your time between two or three of these major cities.
Which parts of Japan are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Hakone, a mountain resort town near Mount Fuji, offers stunning views and onsen (hot springs). Kamakura, easily accessible from Tokyo, features the iconic Great Buddha statue. Nara, also near Kyoto, is famous for its friendly wild deer in Nara Park. These locations provide a taste of Japan without requiring extensive travel time.
Generally, no. Japan has an excellent public transportation system, including the Shinkansen (bullet train) and extensive local train and subway networks. Driving in Japan can be challenging due to narrow roads and right-hand traffic. Renting a car is more suitable for exploring rural areas, not major cities.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Japan?
While credit card usage is increasing, cash is still king in many smaller establishments and local businesses. It's advisable to carry sufficient Japanese Yen, especially for smaller purchases and in less touristy areas. Larger stores and hotels generally accept major credit cards.
What are the largest airports in Japan?
Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND) serve Tokyo, while Kansai International Airport (KIX) serves Osaka. These are the major international gateways to the country.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Japan?
Yes, being mindful of etiquette enhances your experience. Bowing is a common greeting, removing your shoes indoors is customary, and queuing is expected. Public speaking on phones is generally frowned upon. Learning basic Japanese phrases shows respect.
What local specialities should you try in Japan?
Ramen, sushi, tempura, and okonomiyaki are popular choices. Regional specialities abound; try Takoyaki (Osaka), Motsunabe (Fukuoka), or Matsutake mushrooms (seasonal). Don't forget to try the local sake and green tea.
Where are the best shopping spots in Japan?
Department stores like Takashimaya and Isetan (Tokyo) offer high-end goods. Shibuya and Ginza (Tokyo) are known for fashion and electronics. Namba (Osaka) is a vibrant shopping district. For traditional crafts, explore local markets and artisan shops in Kyoto and other cities.
What signature events or festivals take place in Japan?
The Sanja Matsuri (Tokyo) is a large Shinto festival. Many cities hold their own cherry blossom festivals in spring. The Aomori Nebuta Matsuri (Aomori) is a spectacular summer festival with giant illuminated floats. Many smaller, local festivals are held throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Japan for mild and comfortable weather?
The areas along the Seto Inland Sea, such as Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures, tend to have milder weather year-round, due to their location and the moderating effect of the sea. However, even here, seasonal variations occur.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Japan?
Overplanning can lead to exhaustion. Not learning basic Japanese phrases can create communication barriers. Relying solely on credit cards and not carrying cash can cause inconvenience. Ignoring cultural norms can lead to unintentional offense.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Japan?
The Ghibli Museum (Mitaka, Tokyo) for animation fans, the beautiful gardens of Korakuen (Okayama), and the picturesque villages of Shirakawa-go (gifu prefecture) offer unique experiences beyond the typical tourist trail. Exploring smaller towns and less-visited temples and shrines reveals Japan’s quieter side.
