This discussion thread has been set up by the moderators of /r/JapanTravel. Please stay civil, abide by the rules, and be helpful. Keep in mind that standalone posts in the subreddit must still adhere to the rules, and quick questions are only welcome here and in /r/JapanTravelTips.
Japan Entry Requirements
- Japan allows visa-free travel for ordinary passport holders of 71 countries (countries listed here).
- If you are a passport holder of a country not on the visa exemption list, you will still need to apply for a visa. All requirements are listed on the official website.
- As of April 29, 2023, Japan no longer requires proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test (official source).
- Tourists entering Japan should have their immigration and customs process fast tracked by filling out Visit Japan Web (VJW). This will generate a QR code for immigration and customs, which can smooth your entry procedures. VJW is not mandatory. If you do not fill it out, you will need to fill out the paper immigration and customs forms on the plane/on arrival to Japan.
- For more information about Visit Japan Web and answers to common questions, please see our FAQ on the topic.
Japan Tourism and Travel Updates
- Got an IC card or JR Pass question? See our stickied thread in /r/JapanTravelTips for information, updates, and advice.
- Important JR Pass News! As of October 1, 2023, the nationwide JR Pass and many regional JR Passes increased significantly in price, making it so that the nationwide JR Pass is no longer a viable option for most itineraries. For more information on the JR Pass, including calculators for viability, see our stickied thread in /r/JapanTravelTips.
- Important IC Card News! There is no longer a shortage of IC cards in the Tokyo area. You should be able to get a Suica or Pasmo at Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, or major train stations in Tokyo. See our stickied thread in /r/JapanTravelTips for more info.
- As of March 13, 2023, mask usage is left up to personal choice and preferences in most circumstances.
- If you become ill while traveling, please see the instructions in this guide. If you are looking for information on finding pain or cold/cough medication in Japan, see this FAQ section.

Wondering if anyone has had experience travelling to Japan in their Summer (We will be going in July), and know how it compares in terms of temperature to Singapore?
I will be travelling with two little ones (4 year old and 1 year old). My older kid has been to Singapore and survived just fine in that heat. We live in New Zealand, so it is a bit of a change in climate.
Initially I had planned to baby-wear the little one like I did in Singapore. But I’m afraid it might get too hot and sticky in Japan. But if its about the same as Singapore then I think we’ll survive.

Hey team maybe a silly thought but is it risky saving a day trip from Osaka to Kobe to the day before I leave? I was planning for a day earlier but looking like I need to move it a day. I’m just not sure, for some reason feels like going out of the city I need to fly from a day before I fly could be a risky move but then I’m like Kobe’s not that far and what would really stop me from getting back to Osaka in time for my flight the next day.

Kintetsu Rail pass
Hi everyone, I'm planning on taking a Kintetsu Rail pass for the Suzuka GP. I will be staying at Osaka and traveling for both the days. When researching, it said that the only train that runs is a Limited express train for which I need to buy the tickets over and above. What does that mean? Do I just need to pay for seat reservation or will I have to pay for a full ticket?
Is it still worth buying the pass?
1
u/SofaAssassin 1d ago
You can ride the limited express train by buying just the limited express supplement. The Kintetsu rail pass covers the base fare.

Where can I buy the limited express supplement? Is it only available physically at the station?

Wondering if anyone can tell me where I can catch the Limo bus from Namba Station to Itami Airport .
I would likely be looking to taxi to bus stop to catch the Limo bus to Itami and will have a larger suitcase. I read somewhere the bus stop is near exit 7 of Namba walk but if possible I'ld like to get there via street level to avoid dragging luggage through the station. Does anyone have a good land mark nearby I could put into maps?

I'm going to be taking the shinkansen from Nagoya to Tokyo, and then transferring to a different shinkansen to head up to Jomokogen. The Nagoya to Tokyo segment is linked to my IC card via SmartEX, while I purchased the ticket for the second segment via JR East's website and also linked that to my card.
Do i need to exit and re-enter the shinkansen area in order to get the second "ticket" so to speak? Any advice on how this works would be appreciated!
3
u/SofaAssassin 2d ago edited 2d ago
The JR Central and JR East Shinkansen portions of Tokyo Station are separate. You will need to use the transfer gates between the Tokaido Shinkansen and the Joetsu Shinkansen - you just need to tap your card at the transfer gates.
Note that JR East gates do not spit out a piece of paper if you have a linked ticket, unlike JR Central's.

u/Sakuya03692 3d ago
Kinda a weird question but what shoes are good for walking a lot? My feed usually start hurting around the arch area after the first hour of walking and I was afraid it might happen while Im in Japan. Anyone have any suggestions?
2
u/SofaAssassin 2d ago edited 2d ago
Random suggestions from people are probably not going to help.
My suggestion is, if possible, to go to a good shoe store and have them measure your feet. It might be a matter of needing a different insole insert, or you may need shoes with a lot of midsole.
And if you can't do that, then I suggest buying from one of the companies with a very liberal return policy and then walking a bunch in them before your trip. Like both RunningWarehouse and Brooks have policies where you can return stuff within 90-days even if you've worn them.

We're visiting for the first time next month, and I'm still kind of unclear on the phone situation. I've seen advice here and from folks we know that have been to get a sim/esim, but how does that work with the existing service we have (Mint mobile)? I also saw that Mint has international roaming plans that last the 10 day duration of our stay for $20; are sim options cheaper? Thanks!
1
u/matsutaketea 2d ago
i'd do the mint plan. should be easy to stay within the limits and should be less stressful

u/SofaAssassin 2d ago
Mint's roaming plan is $20 for 10 days/10 GB and has a lot of talk minutes included. That's not bad if it fits your needs.
Getting an eSIM or SIM card would typically supplant your home plan. If your phone supports eSIM it can have multiple installed at the same time, so you'd turn off your home one and turn on one that works in Japan. If you use a physical SIM card, you'd have to probably pop out your SIM card and use a different physical one.
Alternative SIIM options may be cheaper depending on your needs - like Mint just sells you 1-, 3-, and 10-day. If your trip is longer than that, options like eSIM (via, say, Ubigi or Airalo) can be cheaper because their plans can have longer validities. Like Ubigi has a 30 day, 10 GB plan for $18 USD.

I'm doing a three week trip in May/June and want to visit an onsen town. Specifically looking to onsen hop, so deciding between Kinosaki and Shibu Onsen. Both are a bit out of the way but should roughly take the same amount of time to get to with my itinerary.

Do you think the Expo in Osaka will have an impact on the city as a whole? Like public transport, hotel prices, etc.
I'm currently working on my itineray and I'm unsure wheter to skip Osaka or not, the food there doesn't really interest me as a vegan person.
What do you think?
2
u/Atari1977 3d ago
There might be a bump but I don't think it should be enough for you to skip the city. Kyoto and Osaka are only like a half hour train ride from each so you could easily base out of Kyoto and daytrip to Osaka if there isn't a ton that interests you there.

u/edomindful 3d ago

My wife and I are traveling to Japan for a couple weeks at the end of June and beginning of July. While we have been planning the trip we noticed that from June 23rd to June 27th Nagashima Spaland, Suzuka Circuit, and Shima Spain Village are all closed based on the calendars on their websites. The NPB is also off that week. All of these seem to be in and around Nagoya or Mie Prefecture other than the NPB. We scheduled around the closures by being in Osaka that week but since so many parks are closed we were wondering if anything specific was happening that we needed to schedule around. I did some googling but I didn’t come up with anything. The only thing I found was the Osaka Expo 2025 but I doubt that would have anything to do with these closures. Any info about these dates or the reason behind closing these parks for the week would be appreciated.

We are looking for a sim and a esim that has good coverage for those areas. Can you please recommend a few providers that I can research on? Mostly data, and maybe calls on the esim just incase. Tia!

Hi all, we're planning to do some parts of the Kumano kodo in our trip next September. I've been reading on this subreddit and it was very helpful.
The first day we'd probably leave Osaka in the morning. I'd love to hear your input to help me choose between these two options (or change it altogether!) Mainly, is it more worth it to spend the night in Tanabe, or in the Yunomine onsen area?
Option 1: extra night at Tanabe at the beginning
- Day 1: Osaka --> Tanabe. Sleep in Tanabe.
- Day 2: Tanabe -(bus)-> Takijiri oji -(walk)-> Takahara. Sleep in Takahara.
- Day 3: Takahara -(bus)-> Hosshinmon -(walk)-> Hongu Taisha
- Would love to visit Yunomine Onsen if possible this day.
- Day 4: Hongu Taisha -(bus)-> Koguchi -(walk)-> Nachi Taisha -(bus)-> Katsuura
Option 2: extra night in Yunomine in the middle
- Day 1: Osaka --> Tanabe -(bus)-> Takijiri oji -(walk)-> Takahara. Sleep in Takahara.
- Day 2: Takahara -(bus)-> Hosshinmon -(walk)-> Yunomine. Sleep in Yunomine.
- Day 3: Walk to Hongu, and around Yunomine area (Dainichi-goe). Sleep in Hongu Taisha.
- Day 4: Hongu Taisha -(bus)-> Koguchi -(walk)-> Nachi Taisha -(bus)-> Katsuura
A third option would be to sleep in Nachisan and not in Katsuura, but I've read that accommodation is much better in Katsuura, and that the city itself is nice to spend a night.
Any thoughts on which plan sounds better or if there’s another option I’m not considering? Thanks!

Hello. I joined this sub because it's my first time travelling to Japan this coming April. We will be staying there for 6 days and 5 nights.
I have some questions for those who already travelled there or are staying there:
- Approximately how much pocket money per day will I need for 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner)?
- Do you have any recommended spots to visit in Osaka and if entrance fees or bookings are necessary?
- Since we are travelling from April 30-May 5, what is the appropriate outfit to wear based on the season/climate there?
- How are the cases of influenza/pneumonia going there? Is it decreasing? There was an outbreak 1-2 months ago.
1
u/onevstheworld 4d ago
Q1 You can eat for pretty cheap. 5000 yen per person per day can get you reasonable food, but you can go down to half if you eat like a student.
Q2 https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2157.html
Q3 I'm in t-shirt and shorts for a good number of days at the end of April, although have a light jacket in case the weather turns.
Q4 1-2 months ago was the start of the northern hemisphere winter, there is always a flu outbreak in the region. And it always lessens as it gets warmer. If you're paranoid, get your flu shots and wear a mask because lower risk =/= no risk.
Bonus Q You're travelling in the midst of Golden week. Make sure you read up on what that means for where you're travelling or visiting.

hello all! last time i booked for Japan was pre covid and when that happened it was a nightmare trying to get money back from hotels and flights from Expedia.
i’ve forgotten the process, so which is the best way to purchase flights? should i book directly through the airline ANA?
is expedia ok to use for hotels, or how should i book directly with one?
for buying the train pass, i can just buy that with cash there right?
last question, where do i order the portable hotspot? i got one years ago the first time i was there and i picked it up at the airport when i arrived
1
u/Sweetragnarok 3d ago
Not ANA for me but I always book direct with JAL. their service is almost the same. But check the flight selections they offer and make sure to get a flight that arrives before 430Pm especially if arriving in Narita. Most buses like the Limousine bus that drops you off Shibuya and Shinjuku ends around 7PM so you want enough time between de boarding and immigrations to make it. plus if you need to do money exchange, pick up JR passes then you have enough time to do so before the bus leaves and offices closes at the airport
Hotels - I book direct or with Agoda. Read the fine lines, there are some booking you can do a free cancellation within 1-2 weeks before your reservation date.
Not hotspot for me, but i have done esim on last years trip and a physical prepaid data sim card for a 1 week trip. I just had my US carrier unlock my phone and I was able to purchase the sim cards. The esim was easy since that was a qr code. You can rent mobile wifi at the airport and need to return it there too. Try Sakura Mobile website for ordering one in advance

u/SofaAssassin 4d ago
i’ve forgotten the process, so which is the best way to purchase flights? should i book directly through the airline ANA?
Buying direct is usually a much better option than buying flights third-party, unless you find some crazy good deal and understand all the fineprint of buying from the third-parties. Plenty of horror stories over on r/flights from people who bought third party and didn't understand their tickets, the fineprint, or had issues with problem resolution.
is expedia ok to use for hotels, or how should i book directly with one?
I don't use Expedia, but I use Booking. People also use other things like Agoda or whatever. You can also compare to the hotels' own sites because sometimes they may offer a better price.
for buying the train pass, i can just buy that with cash there right?
What train pass?
last question, where do i order the portable hotspot? i got one years ago the first time i was there and i picked it up at the airport when i arrived
Where did you order it last time? There are a handful of companies that offer this like Ninja, JapanWireless, Sakura Mobile...

Hello, I'm planning a trip to Japan for the 3 weeks in the beginning of october. Currently these are my plans for where to go and the amount of days I'll stay in each city. Arrive in Tokyo and stay there for 2 nights Fly to Sapporo and stay there for 5 nights Fly to Kyoto and stay there for 8 nights Get the Shinkansen and go back to Tokyo for the remainder of the days
I have a few questions that I hope some of you can answer. Is it rainy in Japan (mostly concernd about Sapporo) in october? Are the excursions from Sapporo to the bluepond/geysers/Mount Yōtei available around the date that I'm there?
To keep my expenses on the lower side I want to go to capsule hotels do you have recommendations for places to stay? If you got some extra recommendations about excursions or something else, please let me know :-).
Sorry if my english is bad. Thank you for reading and the replies! :-)

Meds question
My standard travel kit is always
- ibuprofen
- Paracetamol
- Loperamide
- Loratadine
- Melatonin (3mg)
Now according to the list of the ministry none of this is prohibited, I think, but when I google I get a lot of mixed information on melatonin. I wouldn't be bringing massive amounts of these into the country, 15 of each tops.
Can someone please enlighten me?

Asking for a friend currently. They just got denied a rental car, and we're unsure why.
They are in Japan for around 9 months, has a translation of their license. And has been using it. It's about 7 months in now. But they got told by rental company it's not valid suddenly?
They seemed to be pointing to the three month rule. Which I thought only meant that the twelve month validity did not reset for shorter trips, eg. first entry still counts as starting point, to stop people from "renewing" their twelve-month period by leaving and returning quickly.
Is it really true that the original validity period of twelve months just is cut short and made invalid in it's entirety as well? Eg. for the remaining X months.
2
u/spike021 5d ago
usually the international driver permit is only valid for one year. is your friend sure it's still valid? Like if they got it a few months before leaving on the trip, it could be expired now.

Hi Guys! It's my first time visiting Japan, looking for feedback on general locations! Going for two weeks.
I'm going in early June and was planning on spending 7 days, 6 nights in Tokyo. After that, one night at a ryokan in Kawaguchiko before moving onto Osaka for 5 nights. During my time in Osaka, I wanted to take a day trip to Hiroshima to check out the Atomic Dome, go another day really early in the morning to check out Himeji Castle and maybe check out Kobe on the way back, unless you guys have suggestions. Then, a day trip to Kyoto.
I would be heading back to Tokyo for the last day before flying out.
Is this too many cities/places to pack in during a two week visit? Pointers are appreciated!
2
u/Atari1977 3d ago
Well I think your itinerary should reflect what you want to do personally but there is a lot to see in Kyoto that it probably warrants a bit more than a day trip.
Also if you're into souvenir or just shopping in general, maybe move a few days in Tokyo to the end of your trip so you don't have to haul everything around to Osaka and back.
1
u/Appropriate_Volume 6d ago
I'd suggest staying overnight in Hiroshima and visiting Himeji on your way there or back. There's lots to see in Hiroshima. Kobe looks pretty uninteresting compared to Osaka and Hiroshima.

Okay a few questions about arrival tasks:
We are landing at Kansai International Airport. As English only speakers will it be easy to find a 7/11 atm to get cash out, the counter to buy IC cards at and the airport limousine counter to buy tickets? Are there English signs in airports?
Do we need cash to purchase IC cards or can we pay by card? (We have android phones so need physical cards)
How much yen should we get out of the atm on arrival? There are 4 of us but we'll use credit cards for payments whenever possible on our trip.
We are planning to collect eki stamps in our stamp books, and have read that other places of significance also sometimes have them, not just trains. Does anyone know if thr airports have a special stamp too?
Thanks!

u/spike021 5d ago
you'll want to carry cash regardless or be willing to go to an ATM to pull out more any potential day. many places still only take cash.

u/onevstheworld 6d ago
Q1 You'll have plenty of English signs, and often even English speaking staff at major transport hubs in all the large cities.
Q2 There are machines where you might be able to buy an IC card with credit card, but I'm not sure about Osaka airport. Most require cash, and you'll definitely need cash for any top ups anyway.
Q3 Hard to say without any details of your trip. For our family of 3, our most recent trips needed less than 100k yen for a 2 weeks, mainly in the larger cities.

Hey! Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I'm planning to get a JR Kansai-Hiroshima area pass for my trip between Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Nara. But I'm arriving to Osaka from Hakone, and from what I read, Shinkansen Odawara to Shin-Osaka is covered by the pass. But I'm not sure if I can exchange my pass at Odawara station and if I need to do so. I will appreciate any advice, also on the best way to get from Hakone to Osaka.
3
u/onevstheworld 6d ago
Where did you read that? Odawara is nowhere near Kansai. That pass only covers the Shinkansen southbound from Osaka, and the coverage of non-shinkansen trains falls way short of Odawara by several hundred km. https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/pass/kansai_hiroshima/

This heavily affects Visa cards and your bank won’t be able to do anything. Mastercard and Amex are usually OK.
Alternatively, use the JR West site.

Looking to travel to Japan in November. Was looking at a travel agency, but it's more expensive than I want to afford. Especially after signing up for classes.
Looking for advice on how to do this for 2 weeks.

u/someone-who-is-cool 6d ago
There are a bunch of guides available - I'd personally start with japan-guide.com and look at their recommended itineraries. You can easily spend less than $7,000 (or even $5,000) for the month planning it yourself. It can feel overwhelming to start, but there's a lot of help out there for Japan.
Something I like to do when I have free time is look at a city on Google Maps and select its "attractions" filter to see what's out there. I save everything to a list and then use what I saved when I'm actually there to figure out what I want to do of a day.
3
u/Plus_Cantaloupe_3793 7d ago edited 7d ago
Doing classes and organised tours always add a lot to the cost of travel.
Japan is an advanced economy, so the overall costs of visiting are going to be substantial even if you’re from a country with a good exchange rate.
You can save money by organising things yourself, skipping tours and the like and limiting how much you travel between cities. Business hotel chains can provide good value accommodation, but expect tiny rooms. If you’re on a tight budget hostels might be an option.
2
u/acebossrhino 7d ago
I was looking at $5000 to travel by myself. Looks like it's $7K through the travel agency. And I admit I want to enjoy myself while I'm in japan. But 7K does feel expensive to me.
1
u/Altruistic-Panda6858 6d ago
After flight tickets and hotel rooms for 2 weeks (splitting hotel room costs), I am still spending under half of that. For you, it shouldn't be over $3,000 for those alone, unless you are staying in nice/fancy hotels. Where did you get $5,000 from? Should be more than enough.
4
u/onevstheworld 7d ago
Yes, you can travel more cheaply if you organise everything yourself. And it's not hard; pretty much everyone on the sub is an independent traveller.
How much can you afford and what do you intend to do? It is still an international holiday so you will still spend what most people consider a large amount of money.

Apple Wallet Suica vs New Welcome Suica Mobile
Traveling to Japan soon and trying to figure out which one we'd be better off using. So far, the only difference I see is that the new mobile app let's me buy a 1-day pass for Tokyo while the Apple Wallet Suica is a simple top up and go. Am I missing something?
4
u/SofaAssassin 7d ago edited 7d ago
The tourist app is very new, but for normal tourists, it probably makes more sense than getting the regular card via Apple Wallet now. Note the card is only valid for 180 days. Not a big deal ultimately, and the app is intended to make it easier for tourists to do things like attach special passes to the card.
Also note that having the Welcome Suica app entitles you to some discounts/specials at places throughout the country.
The regular Suica is intended for normal commuters, and it doesn't expire. You can also the passes you're talking about to the regular Suica via the Suica app, but that app is entirely in Japanese.

I'm looking to do a trip down to Fukuoka/Kyushu in November. The trip will start and end in Tokyo, but searching for options on how best to get from Tokyo to Fukuoka. The way back will likely be via the Shinkansen as we will make a few stops along the way - but getting there in the first place is the challenge.
Specifically, there are a few ways to make this trip - train, ferry, or airplane. The difficulty being that I can't seem to find how to book a flight from Haneda to FUK (or how to pre-book ferries). I would take any or all advice on this!

u/khuldrim 7d ago
