Frequently asked questions about apartment rentals in Japan
What landmarks is Japan famous for?
Japan boasts many iconic landmarks. Mount Fuji, an active volcano, is instantly recognisable. Then there are the numerous ancient temples and shrines like Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, with its wooden stage and stunning views, and Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo, a peaceful oasis dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. For architecture buffs, Osaka Castle is a must-see, a magnificent example of Japanese castle architecture. And let's not forget Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, poignant reminders of history.
Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND) serve Tokyo, while Kansai International Airport (KIX) serves Osaka and the Kansai region. These three are the largest and busiest, handling most international flights. Other significant airports include Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) near Nagoya and Fukuoka Airport (FUK) in Kyushu.
What are the best apartments with a pool in Japan?
Would you recommend driving as a mode of transport in Japan?
Driving in Japan can be challenging for visitors due to narrow roads, limited English signage, and a different driving style. Public transport, including the extensive and efficient Shinkansen (bullet train) network, is generally far more convenient and less stressful for tourists.
What are the best apartments for families and kids in Japan?
What cultural practices should visitors respect when visiting Japan?
Bowing is a common greeting. Removing your shoes before entering homes, temples, and some restaurants is customary. Public displays of affection are generally understated. Queuing is important, and respecting quiet in public spaces is appreciated. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases will also be well-received.
What are the best pet friendly apartments in Japan?
The Sanja Matsuri in Tokyo is a huge three-day Shinto festival with vibrant processions and portable shrines (mikoshi). The Gion Matsuri in Kyoto is another famous summer festival known for its elaborate floats. Smaller, more local festivals are also numerous throughout the year, offering unique cultural insights.
What are the best apartments with parking in Japan?
Are ride-hailing apps like Uber or local equivalents available in Japan?
Uber isn't widely available in Japan. However, local taxi services are readily accessible, and ride-hailing apps like Didi and JapanTaxi are popular alternatives.
Where are the best places to stay for a week in Japan?
A week allows for exploring multiple areas. Tokyo offers a vibrant city experience, Kyoto showcases traditional culture, and Osaka provides a blend of modern and historical attractions. Consider splitting your stay between these three cities to experience the diversity Japan offers, choosing accommodation to suit your budget and preferences, from traditional Ryokans to modern hotels.
Which areas are ideal for a weekend getaway in Japan?
Kyoto and Nara are excellent choices for a weekend trip. Kyoto offers temples, gardens, and traditional architecture, while Nara is famous for its friendly wild deer roaming Nara Park and Todai-ji Temple, housing a giant bronze Buddha statue. Hakone, a mountain resort town near Mount Fuji, provides stunning natural scenery.
