How to get around in Japan
Japan boasts one of the most efficient and advanced transportation systems in the world.
The renowned Shinkansen, also known as bullet trains, are an essential mode of transport for long-distance travel. These bullet trains, which connect major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, offer comfort, punctuality and breathtaking views of the countryside. The Japan Rail Pass gives visitors unlimited access to multiple train lines, making it a cost-effective option.
The most convenient means of transportation within cities are subways and commuter trains. For instance, Tokyo's extensive subway network is quite comprehensive, with easy access to popular attractions and neighbourhoods. Don't worry about being unable to find your way around, because English signs and announcements make it tourist-friendly. In Kyoto, buses are a popular choice, providing access to temples, shrines and scenic streets.
Bicycles are a great way to explore Japan's towns and countryside. Many cities provide bicycle hire services, so you can soak up the local atmosphere at your own pace. Just remember to follow traffic rules and park in designated areas.
Taxis are also widely available, especially in urban areas. They're a bit more expensive, but they're comfortable and convenient, and the drivers often know the area well.
Must-see attractions in Japan
If you've never visited it before, then Tokyo, Japan's vibrant capital city will thrill you. There's always something on here, with year-round festivals. For a real insight into modern Japan, stroll along the iconic main street of Harajuku, the home of kawaii culture, Japanese fashion and cosplay. Take a step back into bygone eras by exploring historic sites like the Imperial Palace and Senso-ji Temple.
Kyoto is the cultural heart of Japan, where you can discover the serene beauty of iconic temples and gardens, such as Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Fushimi Inari Taisha and the peaceful Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. While you're there, grab the opportunity to witness a traditional tea ceremony and stroll through the historic Geisha district of Gion.
If you go to Hiroshima, pay a visit to the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, a powerful testament to the city's history and resilience. You'll also want to explore the island of Miyajima, famous for its floating Torii Gate.
