FAQ
Planning Your Trip | Getting Around Japan
What is the most convenient way to travel within Japan?
Japan's railway network is extensive, punctual, and safe, making trains (especially the Shinkansen bullet train) the most convenient way to travel between major cities. Within cities, subway systems are highly efficient. Explera.jp can advise on and arrange JR Passes, local passes, and private transfers for seamless travel.
Can I use my cell phone in Japan, and is Wi-Fi readily available?
Cell phone compatibility varies, so check with your provider. Rental phones, SIM cards, and portable Wi-Fi devices are widely available, often at major airports, ensuring you stay connected. Explera.jp can assist with these arrangements.
How should I manage my luggage while traveling in Japan?
Japan offers excellent luggage forwarding services (takuhaibin) that can send your bags between hotels or to the airport, making travel on crowded trains much easier. Lockers are also available at most stations. We recommend utilizing these services, especially for longer journeys.
Do I need an International Driver's License to drive in Japan?
Yes, if you wish to drive, you will need an International Driver's Permit obtained before your trip, or an official Japanese translation of your license if from specific countries (e.g., France, Germany, Switzerland).
Do I need a visa to visit Japan?
Japan has visa exemption agreements with 67 countries for short-term stays. Citizens from other countries will require a visa. We recommend checking with the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country of residence for the most up-to-date requirements. Explera.jp can also provide guidance on visa procedures as part of your tailored travel plan.
Is Japan an expensive travel destination?
Japan can be an affordable travel destination, even on a tight budget, with various budget accommodation, transport passes, and sightseeing discounts available. Major cities like Tokyo are not necessarily more expensive than other global metropolises. Explera.jp can help you make smart choices to maximize your budget, whether you're seeking luxury or economical options.
Is it safe to travel in Japan?
Japan is widely regarded as one of the safest countries in the world, with very low crime rates. While natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons can occur, preparedness is key. Explera.jp prioritizes your safety, providing essential tips and 24/7 local support during your trip.
What is the best time of year to visit Japan?
Japan offers unique experiences in every season. Spring (March-May) is famous for cherry blossoms, summer (June-August) for vibrant festivals and outdoor activities, autumn (September-November) for stunning fall foliage, and winter (December-February) for snow sports and hot springs. The "best" time depends on your interests, and we can help you plan accordingly.
What types of accommodation are available in Japan?
Japan offers a wide range of accommodation, from familiar Western-style hotels (including economical business hotels) to traditional Japanese ryokan (inns), unique shukubo (temple stays), family-run minshuku (guesthouses), and budget-friendly youth hostels and capsule hotels. Explera.jp can recommend and book the perfect lodging to match your style and budget.
