Quick travel checklist for Japan
If you’re planning a trip, here are short, useful pointers: check visa requirements early — many nationalities can enter visa-free but rules change; travel in spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (foliage) for the best weather; book trains in advance for long-distance travel and look into the JR Pass only if it matches your itinerary; carry a little cash — some places still prefer it; and download a simple translation app for menus and signs.
For safety, Japan is generally low-risk, but watch for weather advisories during typhoon season and learn basic emergency numbers. If you’re doing business, set meetings well ahead of time, be punctual and respect local customs. Those small steps make trips smoother and meetings more productive.
How we source stories: we monitor official announcements, regional bureaus, trusted local outlets and international wires.
