Transport
Tokyo: How do I make my way to the starting point? Are transfers included? This will depend on which city you arrive at.TokyoTokyo is serviced by two major international airports, Narita and Haneda. Youโre welcome to take a taxi to the hotel, but these tend to be quite expensive. Thatโs why, the best way to reach our hotel is by train. You can purchase tickets from the counter at the airport. And the journey will take you 1-2 hours.Osaka The Kansai International Airport in Osaka is around 45 minutes away from our hotel by bus. And the best way to get there is by bus, thatโll drop you off close to our hotel. You can get your tickets at the counter. We donโt recommend getting a taxi since they tend to be quite expensive.
Others
Nara: Do I need a visa to enter Japan? Generally, not. Most of our travellers can get a visa on arrival in Japan. But your visa requirements can change according to your citizenship (and also according to the length and purpose of your visit). We always recommend that you check out our visaguide for more information. Nara: What is the currency used in Japan? The currency (that can buy you some unbeatable authentic sushi) in Japan is the Japanese Yen (ยฅ). Nara: What is the best time of year to visit Japan? Japan sure is magical all year round, but the best time to visit will depend on what youโre looking for. Want to spot Mt Fuji? Head to Japan in June/July โ and hang around for the firework festivals too. Wanna experience Japanโs winter vibes and even hit some of the spectacular ski spots? Book our Japan Winter Wonder trip between November - March. April to May is when youโll catch the cherry blossoms, and autumn (August - November) is a great time for colourful leaves and cooler weather. Nara: What should I wear in Japan? Dress for comfort first! As a traveller here, youโll be most comfortable in loose-fitted clothes, made from a light and breathable fabric. Winter in Japan can be as cool as 1-7ยฐC, so you may want to bring some warm clothes if youโre here between October and April. Nara: What is the tipping culture in Japan? Tipping in Japan is generally not accepted. Although itโs slowly becoming more common within the tourism industry, tipping isnโt much of a custom in Japan. In lots of restaurants, youโll pay upfront before you eat and wonโt be expected to leave a tip as you leave โ Japanese hospitality workers are even known to turn tips down. The same goes for bus and taxi rides. In shops, you may be given your change using a tray, but this isnโt an indication to leave a tip (as it might be in other countries). Nara: Are service charges included in the bill at restaurants in Japan? Even though tipping is rare in Japan, it is common for a restaurant to add a service charge to your bill. This will usually be to the value of 10-15%, and youโll find that itโs issued on arrival. I.e. served with your appetiser. Tokyo: Step into this live video game of a city and see Nakamise Street, Sensoji Temple, Meiji Temple, Harajuku and the Shibuya Crossing. Kyoto: Tea houses. Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The Golden Pavilion. Geishas. Itโs all so surreal. Youโll feel like youโve wandered into a film set. Kyoto: Walk through the endless path of orange torii gates, kindly ask Inari for good luck and then you might want to sample a fortune cookie.
Accommodation
Cool and comfy 3-star hotels are the name of the game throughout our week in Japan.
Meals
3 Breakfast (B) Nara: How much spending money do I need for one week in Japan? When you travel with Contiki, your accommodation, in-country transport, and some breakfasts are included with the cost of your trip โ so when it comes to budgeting, you only need to worry about how much shopping youโll do in Tokyo! Average prices for Japan include:Museum tickets: ยฅ1,000 - ยฅ2,000 ($7 - $15) Sushi meal: ยฅ2,500 ($19) Noodles/Ramen meal: ยฅ600 - ยฅ1,200 ($4 - $9) For a rough estimate, weโd recommend budgeting a minimum of $80USD per day.But please remember that these prices subject to change!
