We adore exploring Japan. The people are courteous, the transportation is effective, and the restrooms are electronic. It’s a good idea to start in Osaka because it’s a terrific spot to sample street food, buy for unusual gifts, visit Samurai castles, and get a sense of what Japan is like.
There are many historic shrines and temples to view in Kyoto, which served as Japan’s first capital and as its cultural hub. Tokyo is frequently ranked as the best city in the world and offers a variety of attractions.

TRANSPORT:
In Japan, trains are typically used for transportation, and a vast and intricate rail network connects the entire nation. At first, it could be a little puzzling, but it becomes clearer as you progress. For navigation in Japan, I’d suggest utilizing an app like Google Maps or Hyperdia.
SAFETY:
With an incredibly low violent crime rate of 0.28 per 100k people (96% lower than the worldwide average), Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Although the language barrier might occasionally be challenging because English isn’t as widely spoken as you might assume, Japanese people are kind and nice to foreigners. Knowing at least a few key Japanese words is a smart idea.
BUDGET:
Japan may not be the most affordable destination, but it is still less expensive than you may anticipate. Hostels start around 2,000 Yen ($14 USD), and private hotels start at 4,500 Yen, though private rooms in Japan are typically quite modest and share bathrooms. Depending on the location, meals cost between 750 and 1500 Yen.
