From hunting for beautiful cherry blossoms to visiting Japan, there are so many reasons that make me want to visit Japan again and again. One thing is for sure, even after traveling to Japan many times, I am still learning new ways to enjoy my travels. So I chatted with some of my Japanese friends to find out what the best travel tips are for truly enjoying all that Japan has to offer. Here are the things I learned from that chat! 1.

Spring in March and April are perhaps the busiest months in Japan as cherry blossoms bloom all over the country. Fall from September to November also brings cooler weather and stunning views of bright red maple leaves. For those looking for a snowy holiday, the winter season from December to February usu...

We just have to be smart in choosing cheap and economical transportation to Tokyo, while sacrificing travel time.

Oh yes, for your information, Narita Airport has 3 terminals, for terminals 1 and 2 there is its own train station, whereas if you land at Terminal 3 you have to take the free terminal shuttle bus (5 minutes) to Terminal 2 before you can take the train.

Shinkansen Train Tickets and Japan Rail Pass - Updated 2024 Japanese Railways In general, we divide 2 types of train lines in Japan: regular trains and Shinkansen. Some regular train lines are operated by the Japan Railways (JR) company and some are owned by private operators. Even though we call the Shinkansen a type of train, namely the fastest, in Japan it is operated by several different companies depending on the line, five are the main ones: * Tokaido Shinkansen (東海道新幹線), the most important and busy line, connecting Tokyo and Shin-Osaka (including Nagoya and Kyoto), is operated by JR Central. Just imagine this route is the Tokyo route to the West. * The Sanyō Shinkansen (山陽新幹線), a link from Osaka to Fukuoka (covering Kobe and Hiroshima), is operated by JR West. * The Tohoku Shinkansen, the Tokyo line from North to the very tip of the island, is operated by JR East. * The Hokkaido Shinkansen, a connection to the Tohoku Shinkansen, opened in March 2016 which connects Shin-Aomori an...

Fastest Cheapest Routes and Tickets from Tokyo - Osaka If you are planning to go on a budget tour to Japan, of course you will be a little 'surprised' by the price of JR Japan Rail Pass train transportation which is expensive, ¥50,000 (more than 5 million rupiah).

Tokyo has 2 arrival airports: Narita International Airport (NRT) which is some distance away and Haneda Airport (HND) which is relatively closer to the city center. It depends on the airline you use, even Japan Airlines has the option of landing at Haneda or Narita in its flight schedule. If you can choose, I suggest you choose Haneda Airport as your arrival/departure airport. The airport is smaller, so from getting off the plane to baggage claim, sometimes the express only takes 15-20 minutes. Because the location is still 'Tokyo', it takes less than 1 hour to get to the city center, and certainly the transportation costs are cheaper than landing in Narita. Apart from the airport bus, what I want to discuss here is the option of using the train. There are 2 types of trains that you can use: Keikyu Lines and Tokyo Monorail.
