Do I need a visa to travel to Japan?

Many countries benefit from short-term visa exemptions, but we recommend checking with your local Japanese embassy. Our team can guide you through the process!

What documents should I carry?

A valid passport is essential. We also suggest keeping a digital copy of your passport and travel insurance details for peace of mind.

Do I need any vaccinations to visit Japan?

No mandatory vaccinations are required for Japan. However, we recommend being up to date with routine vaccines and consulting your doctor before traveling.

What is the best time to visit Japan?

Each season offers a unique experience: that’s why we offer a wide variety of packages tours! We’ll help you choose the perfect timing based on your preferences.

How much luggage can I bring?

Most international airlines allow one checked bag and one cabin bag. Our private transfers and vans provide generous luggage space, so traveling comfortably is never a concern.

What about travel insurance?

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical care, trip cancellations, and lost luggage. This ensures peace of mind throughout your journey.

What currency is used in Japan?

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, though some smaller shops and rural areas may prefer cash.

Tipping is not customary in Japan. Exceptional service is already included in the price — a reflection of Japanese hospitality.
