Travelling in Japan as a Tourist – Essential Instructions

Entry Requirements & Documentation
Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. Many nationalities enjoy visa-free entry for short-term tourism, but always check the latest visa requirements before traveling.
Transportation & Getting Around
Japan has one of the world’s most efficient transport systems. Use trains and subways for city travel and the Shinkansen (bullet train) for intercity journeys. IC cards (Suica, Pasmo, ICOCA) make payments easy across transport and shops.
Cash & Payments
Japan is increasingly card-friendly, but cash is still widely used, especially in rural areas and small businesses. ATMs at convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson) accept international cards.
Language & Communication
Basic English is available in major cities, airports, and tourist areas. Learning simple Japanese phrases and using translation apps can enhance your experience and interactions.
Cultural Etiquette & Behavior
Be respectful of local customs: bow instead of shaking hands, remove shoes when entering homes or traditional accommodations, speak quietly on public transport, and follow posted rules carefully.
Food & Dining Etiquette
Slurping noodles is acceptable and shows appreciation. Do not tip, as it is not customary in Japan. Many restaurants display plastic food models or picture menus for easy ordering.
Connectivity & Internet Access
Rent a pocket Wi-Fi or purchase a local SIM/eSIM for reliable internet access. Free Wi-Fi is available in hotels, stations, and major tourist areas but may be limited elsewhere.
Accommodation Options
Choose from a wide range of stays, including hotels, business hotels, traditional ryokan, capsule hotels, and guesthouses. Booking in advance is recommended during peak seasons.
Health, Safety & Cleanliness
Japan is very safe with low crime rates. Follow local health rules, carry personal medication with proper documentation, and maintain cleanliness—public trash bins are limited, so carry your waste.
Shopping & Tax-Free Purchases
Tourists can enjoy tax-free shopping on eligible purchases by presenting a passport at participating stores. Keep receipts for inspection upon departure if required.
Seasonal Travel Tips
Dress appropriately for the season—winters can be cold, summers hot and humid. Plan around peak travel periods such as cherry blossom season, Golden Week, and autumn foliage to avoid crowds.
Emergency Information
Emergency numbers are 110 for police and 119 for fire and ambulance services. Tourist information centers are available in major cities to assist visitors.
