However, visa requirements can change, so it's essential to check the latest information with the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country before traveling.
Japan can be both affordable and luxurious, depending on your choices. While cities like Tokyo and Kyoto have high-end options, there are also budget-friendly accommodations and eateries. Transportation, such as the Japan Rail Pass, can offer savings if you plan to travel extensively. Overall, with careful planning, Japan can suit various budgets.
Japan is beautiful year-round. Spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (fall foliage) are most popular. Avoid peak times like Golden Week for a better experience.
The Japan Rail Pass offers unlimited travel on JR trains, including the Shinkansen (bullet trains), for a set period. It's cost-effective if you're traveling between multiple cities. However, if you're staying primarily in one city, local transportation passes might be more economical.
