Japan Travel Guide - Information and Advice Japan Travel Guide Information and Advice Japan Pictures | Japan Map | Asia Map Outstanding holidays on every continent from Explore, the biggest adventure travel company in the world! Extensive worldwide travel options include the 'Shogun Tour' of Japan. Explore: Japan 'Shogun Trail' Tour | Central Asia Tours | South East Asia Tours | Free Brochure Request Japan Travel Guide, climate: Best: March-May, Sept-Nov. Worst: July, August [rains, heat, humidity] Beware Japanese holiday accomodation problems: New Year [Dec 29-Jan 6], Golden Week [April 27-May 6], O-bon [midsummer] Length of stay: Minimum worthwhile stay, not incl. flights: Tokyo only - 4 days Recommended: 2 weeks, Tokyo & Kyoto Festivals Guide: Feb Lantern Festival, Nara : 3,000 ancient lanterns are lit, with dance, at Kasuga Shrine Feb, Snow Festival, Sapporo, Hokkaido : gorgeous, massive ice/snow sculptures & 'let's get wrecked' ambience. March, Water Drawing Festival, Nara : Spectacular religious night festival with torches and chanting, at Todaiji monastery. Late March, early April, Hanami : Japan gets plastered under the cherry blossom trees. Date depends on flowering. May,Toshogu Shrine Festival, Nikko : a huge fancy-dress parade and sacred dance at a supremely beautiful shrine . July, Gion Matsuri, Kyoto : a parade of monstrous, wonderfully decorated floats. Also good for a few days before the parade. Mid-July to mid-August, O-Bon Festival nationwide : date depends on local council. Festival of the Dead, paper lanterns on water, candle ceremonies etc. Oct, Festival of Ages, Kyoto : massive historical dress parade. For some precise dates, more suggestions and information see: Exotic Festivals Japan Activities Guide: Walking and Hiking: Nikko, Chichibu and Hakone Parks are not far from Tokyo. Best during the week. Hiking and Climbing: Mt Fuji [3,700m] is a serious hike, esp. non-summertime. Hot Springs and Baths [Onsen] , esp. 'rotenburo' [outdoor pools] are fun, functional and authentic. Traveller warning - No soap in the pool! Skiing Dec-April. Nightlife is lively and colourful, if expensive, and it's totally ok to get reeling drunk and throw up on your neighbour's shoes. Unless he's American. Japan Star Guide: Monuments **** Shopping and souvenirs ***** Walkability ***** Food Quality and Variety ***** Value for Money **** Hotel Prices and Value ** Beaches ** Wildlife * Landscape ** Local People **** Architecture *** Safety ***** Nightlife and Clubbing ***** Health Problems ***** Museums **** Why Travel to Japan? This is a great, confusing, fascinating, crammed, funny country, full of contradictions - not least of which is the mix of ultra high technology with ancient traditions. There are few great 'big' sights, but lots of terrific little sights, from exquisite elevator ladies in department stores to leather-clad rockers in Yoyogi park to funky old wooden restaurants [Akachochin/red lantern] to weird capsule hotels... It's so safe that you'd have to pay someone to mug you , and teach them how to do it, though the current youth attitude is not looking good. The food is superb, varied and not necessarily expensive. Traditional hotels [Ryokan] are relatively cheap and interesting. Domestic travel systems are superb. Try the bullet train if you can afford it. Downside: - It's sometimes expensive, crowded and hectic. - There are plenty of dull, endless suburbs, hideous overhead powercables, concrete, concrete. - Quaint trad clothing like kimonos are rarely seen outside ceremonial occasions. - It's not tourist oriented , so comprehensible signs can be rare and ATMs often don't like foreign credit cards. Where to travel in Japan: 1] ***Tokyo. A huge, busy city with lots of action, big and little. See the Imperial Palace, Asakusa area, Ginza area, Yoyogi park on a Sunday afternoon, Shinkuku at night, Roppongi at night, Shibuya love hotels, Sumo wrestling, Kabuki [at Kabuki-za, Ginza?], Hama Rikyu Japanese garden. Tokyo National Museum? Disneyland? Little known factoid: the set designer for Blade Runner was inspired by Shinjuku. 2] **Nikko. A recreation area, with a sensational temple, a waterfall and some lovely walks. 2hrs by train from Tokyo. 3] *Hakone. Another favourite mountainous, rec and hot spring area, esp. in the autumn, with great views and a superb futuristic museum. 1.5hrs train travel from Tokyo. 4] ***Kyoto/Nara. Hundreds of elaborate temples, buddhas and zen gardens, tho' central Kyoto has the usual urban sprawl apart from the Imperial Palace. Also see a tea ceremony, Geisha, Katsura Imperial Villa [& gardens] and Himeji castle nearby. 5] *Hida-no Takayama. Very old, traditional, rustic town[aka Little Kyoto]. 6] *Nagasaki. A museum and park dedicated to the A-bomb, a fine recreation of old European homes in the south and a full-scale, lived in Dutch town in the north. 7] Hiroshima. The first bomb site, also with an excellent museum and park and Japan's #1 sight [according to locals], the 'floating' Itsuku Shima Shrine, in Miyajima, not far away. 8] Yokohama, Osaka, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Okinawa. Not worth travelling there unless it's for a festival or some special interest or you have lots of time.
