From the epic skyline of Tokyo to the peaceful temples of Kyoto, Japan is a place of contrasts in the very best way. Think neon-lit streets and centuries-old shrines, bullet trains and bamboo forests, 10/10 convenience store snacks and the best sushi in the world, of course! Channel your inner warrior in a traditional samurai class, and dive into Japan’s powerful history with a visit to Hiroshima. Wander beneath cherry blossoms in Spring and explore hidden alleyways packed with izakayas. Whether you’re here for the food, the culture, the history or something else, Japan delivers it all.

JAPAN TRAVEL ADVICE
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
Japan is incredible year-round, but spring (March-May) is peak season for cherry blossoms. Autumn (September-November) brings stunning red and golden leaves. Summer is hot and humid, but also festival season, while winter is perfect for skiing and snowboarding in places like Hokkaido if you want to experience that post-tour!
TRANSPORT
Japan's transport system is one of the best in the world, punctual, clean, and incredibly efficient. The Shinkansen (bullet train) is a bucket list experience in itself! IC cards like Suica or Pasmo make getting around cities on the metro super easy. On our tours, all transport is sorted, so you can just enjoy the journey!
CUISINE & FOOD
Japanese food culture is on another level entirely. Ramen, sushi, yakitori, takoyaki, tempura, tonkatsu - where do we start?! Convenience stores (konbini) like 7-Eleven and Lawson are also genuinely amazing for cheap, fresh food. Don't miss a bowl of ramen at a local spot and a cold Sapporo beer to wash it down!
VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Many nationalities can visit Japan visa-free for up to 90 days. However, always check the latest advice from your government's official travel website before you book!
FAQS
When is the best time to travel to Japan?
The best thing about Japan is that it is amazing in all weathers! If we HAD to choose, the best times to visit Japan is in the Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) when temperatures are not too hot but not too cold. This is also the time when you can catch events like the cherry blossom and ‘Golden Week’.
Here's some more information on the best time to travel to Japan 🇯🇵
Is Japan expensive to visit?
Japan can be a super affordable place to travel to. The hostels there are super reasonable, and day-to-day life won't break the bank either! Joining a group tour is a great way to pay for activities and accommodation upfront, too, so you have fewer expenses when you are out there.
How much time should I spend in Japan?
We'd say anything from 7-18 days is the perfect amount of time to spend in Japan. Our 7-day Spirit of Japan tour is perfect for those wanting to have a planned start to their time in Japan. Our 12-day Legend of Japan is a great amount of time to explore more. It also ends in Osaka, so you can explore more of this amazing city after the tour.
Do I need a visa to visit Japan?
It is always worth checking with your governments advice, but lots of countries do you not need a Visa to visit Japan in the short term!

There are no mandatory vaccinations for most travellers. We always recommend speaking to your local doctors. We're not medically trained so we can't give official advice on vaccines you need/don't need.
Are there ATMs in Japan?
Yes! Visa and Mastercard are usually accepted (especially at bank ATMs), but cash is still king, especially at markets and local stalls. Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.
In Japan, every Post Office and 7-11 has an ATM machine that will accept Visa, Mastercard and other debit Cards. It is always worth bringing a backup card on any trip, just in case your card is not accepted. Before you leave, it is also important to check with your bank to see how much you will be charged for withdrawals - it is also worth considering bringing cash in USD, Euros or GBP too.

Japanese is the primary language in Japan. We always recommend learning a few key phrases before you go; this will impress the locals for sure!

Yes, most of the tap water in Japan is safe to drink, however it is always worth checking with your tour leader in each place you visit!
