Hoteler bei enger Gare
Save time by finding a hotel near a JR or Metro station. Big cities can require 20-30 minutes of walking to the nearest station. Once at a station, you're connected to Japan's entire train network.
Rent a pocket WiFi router
Free WiFi in Japan is slow and limited. Rent a portable pocket WiFi router that the whole family can share. Pick up and return at the airport.

Respect the Japanese culture
The locals are polite, quiet, clean and helpful. Don't throw trash on the street, don't tip, don't talk loudly on trains, stay in line, and don't push in queues.
Tipping in Japan
Forget tipping! In Japan, excellent service is the norm and staff are paid fairly. Leaving money can be seen as rude. A simple 'arigatou gozaimasu' (thank you) is all you need.
Expect to be rejected
While uncommon, some clubs and restaurants may refuse entry to foreigners. Most places welcome everyone. If rejected, it's likely due to limited capacity or language barriers, not you personally.
Tax-free shopping
Japan offers tax-free shopping for tourists. Look for the 'Tax Free Shop' sign. Spend at least ¥5,000 at one store. Keep your receipts for the refund at the airport.
Japan is safe to visit
Japan has a very low crime rate. Be aware of your surroundings at night in party areas. Know your evacuation route for earthquakes and consider travel insurance.
Amusement parks
Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, Fuji-Q Highland, Universal Studios, Sanrio Puroland, Ghibli Park, and Edo Wonderland offer unique experiences for all ages.
