We recommend 2–3 weeks to experience a good mix of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Mount Fuji and some of Japan’s quieter destinations.
Popular destinations include Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Mount Fuji, Hiroshima and Nara, with plenty of smaller towns and countryside areas to explore along the way.
Yes. Japan is easy to explore independently, with excellent public transport and plenty of accommodation and activities designed for travellers.
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and length of stay. Always check the latest entry requirements before travelling.
Japan is generally considered a safe destination for travellers. As anywhere, it's still important to take normal precautions with your belongings and follow local laws and customs.
Japan has an excellent transport network of trains, bullet trains, buses and metros. The Shinkansen makes travelling between major cities particularly quick and convenient.
Japan is a year-round destination. Spring is famous for cherry blossoms, summer offers festivals and hiking, autumn brings colourful foliage, while winter is ideal for skiing and snow-covered scenery.
