FAQ

1. How expensive is it to travel around Japan?

Budget travellers usually spend $50-$80/day using hostels, convenience- store meals, and regional trains.

2. What's the best time of year to visit Japan?

March-May (cherry blossoms) and Oct-Nov (autumn colours) are most popular. Summer is hot but great for festivals; winter is perfect for skiing.

3. Do I need cash, or can I pay mostly by card?
Cards are widely accepted now, but cash is still useful for small shops, markets, and rural areas. 7-Eleven ATMs accept foreign cards.
4. Is it easy to get around Japan without speaking Japanese?
Yes. English signs are everywhere, and transport apps make it simple. A few basic phrases help, but you’ll get by.
5. Should I get a JR Pass for my trip?
Worth it if you’re travelling long distances (Tokyo Osaka Hiroshima). If you stay in one region, single tickets are cheaper.
6. What etiquette should I know before going?
Stay quiet on trains, remove shoes when required, queue politely, avoid eating while walking, and be respectful in shrines/temples.
