traveling would be reduced plus you get to hop on the famous Japanese bullet train, which is a

lifetime experience in itself. Also, to make your trip easy, it is advisable to get this pass before you

leave for Japan and have at least 7 days to receive it.

Best Time To Visit Japan:-

Japan is a perfect blend of modern and ancient, chaos and tranquility,

making it one of the best places to visit. Before understanding the to-

do list for Japan, it is important to figure out the best time to visit Japan.

Honestly, every season, every month is perfect to visit Japan, giving you

a different experience altogether. But if you want to witness the Sakura,

then springtime is the ideal time. But a note of caution: Springtime is

the time when Japan has holidays so you may witness Japanese

traversing the country. So getting hotels and accommodation may be a

little tricky.

Currency:-

The official currency in Japan is the yen ( ¥ ). 1 yen is around 100 USD, susceptible to market fluctuations. All major hotels,

shops, restaurants, etc. do accept credit cards, but it always advisable to keep some cash handy.

Budget:

Unlike various Asian countries, Japan is expensive. The average cost

of accommodation in Japan is around $27 for a dorm bed, around

$45-90 USD for a mid-range hotel or guesthouse, and around $90-

270 USD for a luxurious stay. A bowl of ramen would cost around 7

USD, a subway pass around USD 6.40, and a cup of coffee around

USD 2.75.

So the approx budget for an economical journey would be around

USD 450 which would include a dwelling, cheap food, and some

free activities. The budget of mid-range travelers will be USD 850

and USD 1200 for a high-end traveler.

• Ensure you have a Japan Rail Pass, especially if you plan to commute outside of Tokyo.

• Gorge your breakfast at 7-Eleven or Family Mart. They are convenient stores situated all

across Japan and while it may sound absurd but the food quality offered by them makes it

an ideal breakfast place for the locals as well.

• There is a concept of “lunch sets” available in Japan, you can have it for your lunch. They

can range between $5-7 USD and have large meals. If you are lucky, you might even get a

dessert.

• Try some variety of sushi that would be on your bucket list. If you plan to do so and save

some moolah, try the conveyor belt sushi.
