Japan travel tips
Visa and entry
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Japan before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.
Health and safety
Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Some places here are at high altitude: rest on arrival, drink plenty of water and ascend gradually. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Japan.
Currency and tipping
The currency is the Japanese yen (JPY). Not practised; staff may politely refuse a tip.
Best time to visit
Late March to May and October to November. Cherry blossom in spring and red maples in autumn; winter is for snow in Hokkaido.
Getting around
Shinkansen trains link Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. We advise whether a rail pass or individual tickets work out cheaper for your route.
Local etiquette
- Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
- Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
What to pack
Pack warm layers, a down jacket and gloves, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for religious sites, comfortable walking shoes and a universal travel adapter.
Phone and internet
Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.
Budget
We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
