Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Japan

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Japan?

    A week in Japan is a whirlwind! To make the most of it, focus on one or two regions. For a classic experience, spend a few days in Tokyo, exploring iconic sights like the Meiji Jingu Shrine, the Imperial Palace East Garden, and the vibrant Shibuya crossing. Then, take the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto, immersing yourself in its ancient temples like Kiyomizu-dera and Fushimi Inari-taisha, and experiencing the Gion district's traditional charm. Alternatively, explore the modern architecture and trendy shops of Osaka before heading to Nara to see its friendly wild deer in Nara Park.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Japan?

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Japan?

    A month allows for a much more in-depth exploration! You could follow the classic Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka route but spend more time in each location, delving into museums, local markets, and day trips to nearby areas. Consider extending your trip to explore other regions like Kanazawa, known for its Kenrokuen Garden, or Hiroshima, with its poignant Peace Memorial Park and Museum. For nature lovers, a trip to the Japanese Alps or exploring the stunning landscapes of Hokkaido are fantastic options. You could even island hop in the southern regions.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan?

    Churaumi Terrace, Give Higashi Nakano and Scallop Beach Condominium are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan.

  • What currency is used in Japan, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency. ATMs are readily available, especially in cities, and most accept international cards, though some may charge fees. Seven Bank ATMs are particularly convenient for foreign cards.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Japan?

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in Japan?

    Kamakura, with its iconic Great Buddha statue at Kotoku-in Temple and the beautiful Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, offers a tranquil escape near Tokyo. Hakone, nestled in the mountains, provides stunning views of Mount Fuji and opportunities for onsen (hot spring) experiences. For a more traditional experience, consider the charming towns of Takayama or Kanazawa.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan?

    The best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan are Matsuishi King Deluxe 202, Viale Jurakumawari and Ten Apartment Hotel.

  • Which areas in Japan are best for an extended stay?

    Kyoto is ideal for those who appreciate traditional culture and serene temples. For a more modern experience with easy access to nature, consider the Kansai region encompassing Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. Those seeking a slower pace of life might enjoy the countryside regions of Tohoku or Kyushu, offering opportunities for hiking and exploring local crafts.
  • Is Japan safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Japan is generally considered very safe for solo travellers, including women. However, standard precautions for solo travel should still be observed.
  • Which region of Japan is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The Kansai region, encompassing Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, enjoys a relatively mild climate throughout the year, although it can get hot and humid in summer. The Setouchi region, along the Inland Sea, also benefits from a pleasant climate.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Japan?

    Report the loss immediately to the nearest police station. They will provide a report, which is necessary for obtaining a replacement passport from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate immediately for assistance.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Japan special?

    Japan boasts many festivals! Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in spring is a nationwide celebration, while the autumn leaves create a stunning backdrop for many events. Shichi-Go-San, a festival for children, takes place in November. Setsubun, a bean-throwing festival to ward off evil spirits, is celebrated in February. Many local festivals, matsuri, are celebrated throughout the year, each unique to their region.
