Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Japan

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Japan?

    A week in Japan is a whirlwind, but you can still see a lot! Focus on one or two regions. Tokyo offers iconic sights like the Sensō-ji Temple, the Meiji Jingu Shrine, and the vibrant Shibuya Crossing. Consider a day trip to Hakone for stunning views of Mount Fuji and onsen (hot springs). Alternatively, explore Kyoto's ancient temples, such as Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari-taisha, and the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. A bullet train journey between these cities is efficient.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Japan?

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Japan?

    A month allows for a more in-depth exploration. Start with Tokyo and Kyoto as above, then branch out. Consider Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, a poignant reminder of history. Explore the stunning natural beauty of the Japanese Alps, perhaps hiking in Kamikochi. For a cultural experience, visit Kanazawa, known for its Kenrokuen Garden and samurai district. You could also delve into the unique culture of Osaka, enjoying its street food and Dotonbori's bright lights. Using the extensive Shinkansen (bullet train) network will make travel between these locations easy.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan?

    Churaumi Terrace, Give Higashi Nakano and Scallop Beach Condominium are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan.

  • What currency is used in Japan, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency. ATMs are ubiquitous, especially in cities. Seven Bank ATMs, widely available, often accept international cards. However, it's wise to check with your bank beforehand about any potential fees or restrictions on using your card abroad.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Japan?

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in Japan?

    Kamakura, with its iconic Great Buddha statue at Kotoku-in Temple and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, offers a peaceful escape near Tokyo. Hakone, as mentioned, provides stunning mountain scenery and onsen. For a more traditional experience, consider visiting Kanazawa, with its beautiful gardens and well-preserved samurai district.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan?

    The best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan are Matsuishi King Deluxe 202, Viale Jurakumawari and Ten Apartment Hotel.

  • Which areas in Japan are best for an extended stay?

    Kyoto is ideal for a longer stay due to its rich history and culture, offering numerous temples, gardens, and traditional neighbourhoods like Gion. For a more rural experience, consider staying in a traditional Ryokan (inn) in the Japanese Alps or in a quieter coastal town like Shirakawa-go, famous for its Gassho-style farmhouses. These locations offer a slower pace of life, perfect for relaxation and immersion in local culture.
  • Is Japan safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Japan is generally considered very safe for solo travellers, including women. Crime rates are low, and people are generally polite and helpful. However, standard precautions for solo travel should still be observed, such as being aware of your surroundings and keeping valuables secure.
  • Which region of Japan is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The weather in Japan varies greatly by region and season. Areas like the Kansai region (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara) generally experience pleasant weather with distinct seasons, though summer can be hot and humid. The spring and autumn months are typically the most comfortable across much of the country.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Japan?

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

    Japan has many festivals throughout the year. Shunbun no Hi (Vernal Equinox Day) and Shūbun no Hi (Autumnal Equinox Day) are national holidays. Setsubun, a festival marking the end of winter, involves throwing roasted soybeans. Many local summer festivals (matsuri) feature elaborate floats and traditional performances. The most widely known are the Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori and the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto.
