Essential Travel Tips for Indian Tourists Visiting Japan

Punctuality:

Be prepared for Japan’s renowned efficiency. Familiarize yourself with the extensive network of trains, buses, and subways. Consider purchasing a JR Pass for convenient travel between major cities to make your travel smooth

Cash vs. Cards:

While credit cards are gaining acceptance, carrying cash is still recommended for smaller purchases and local eateries. ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas.

Respect the culture:

Be mindful of Japanese customs. Learn about bowing, a gesture of respect. It’s customary to take off shoes indoors and avoid loud noises in public areas like trains and libraries. Tipping is generally not expected, a simple “ありがとうございした (Arigatou Gozaimashita)” – meaning “Thank you very much” – suffices.

Language & communication:

While English proficiency is improving, basic Japanese phrases will go a long way. Downloading translation apps or carrying a Japanese phrasebook can be helpful for everyday interactions.
