Frequently asked questions about accommodations in Japan
What are the must-see regions or cities in Japan?
Japan offers so much! For a classic experience, Tokyo is a must, with its vibrant Shibuya crossing, the serene Meiji Jingu Shrine, and the trendy Harajuku district. Kyoto, steeped in history, boasts iconic temples like Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and Fushimi Inari-taisha, with its thousands of red gates. Osaka is known for its delicious street food and Dotonbori's bright lights. Consider also Hiroshima, with its poignant Peace Memorial Park and Museum, and Hakone, famous for its views of Mount Fuji and onsen (hot springs).
Are there any specific customs or traditions to be aware of in Japan?
Yes, bowing is common as a greeting, and removing your shoes before entering homes and some restaurants is customary. Public transport is generally very quiet, so keeping your voice down is appreciated. Tipping isn't expected and can even be considered rude. Chopsticks etiquette includes not sticking them upright in rice and not passing food from chopsticks to chopsticks. Learning a few basic Japanese phrases will enhance your experience and show respect for the culture.
What are the best places to stay with a pool in Japan?
Is driving in Japan considered a good option for travellers?
Driving in Japan can be challenging for visitors due to narrow roads, complex traffic systems, and the fact that driving is on the left. Public transport, including the extensive and efficient Shinkansen (bullet train) network, is generally a far better and more convenient option for travellers.
What are the best places to stay for families and kids in Japan?
What are some popular festivals in Japan that attract visitors?
The country hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. Some notable examples include the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, a month-long celebration with elaborate floats, and the Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori, featuring giant illuminated floats. Smaller, local festivals offer unique cultural insights, often featuring traditional music, dance, and food stalls.
What are the best pet friendly places to stay in Japan?
Which region in Japan is known for having the most favourable weather?
There's no single region with consistently perfect weather, as Japan experiences distinct seasons. However, areas in the southern Kyushu region tend to have milder winters and warmer summers compared to the northern regions of Hokkaido and Tohoku.
What are the best places to stay with parking in Japan?
Which parts of Japan are ideal for a week-long holiday?
A week allows for exploring a couple of regions. Combining Tokyo and Hakone offers a blend of city life and natural beauty. Alternatively, exploring Kyoto and Osaka provides a deeper dive into ancient culture and modern city life. For nature lovers, a focus on the Japanese Alps or the Kansai region might be ideal.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Japan?
For a short trip, focusing on one major city is best. Tokyo offers countless attractions within easy reach, while Kyoto's compact historical centre is easily explored in a weekend. Osaka is another excellent choice, with its vibrant atmosphere and culinary delights.
