The Ultimate First-Timer’s Guide to Visiting Japan 🇯🇵 | Travel Tips You NEED to Know!

So, you’re finally doing it. You’re going to Japan. Whether you’re dreaming of sushi in Tokyo, temples in Kyoto, or just trying to survive the futuristic toilets, this video is your ultimate guide for visiting Japan for the very first time. Expect culture shocks in the best way. Japan is clean, quiet, and respectful. Like next level respectful. People don’t eat while walking. No one talks loudly on trains, and don’t even think about tipping. It’s actually considered rude. Oh, and shoes off. Always, especially in homes, temples, and even some restaurants. Cash is still king. Yes, it’s the land of robots and vending machines that sell everything, but don’t expect to pay for everything with your card. Many places still only take cash, especially in smaller towns. So, hit up a 7-Eleven ATM. Yes, 7-Eleven is basically your best friend in Japan. Learn these three phrases. You’ll thank us. Even if you don’t speak Japanese, learning these will win hearts. Kiwa, hello. Thank you, Sumi Masen. Excuse me. Sorry, can I get past? Say these with a smile and you’re golden. Get a JR pass. But don’t just wing it. If you’re planning to bounce between Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and beyond, grab the Japan Rail Pass before you arrive. It’s a lifesaver. But also, plan your routes. You don’t want to waste it riding a local train three stops to the next ramen shop. Speaking of ramen, you slurp it loudly. Forget your table manners in Japan. Slurping your noodles isn’t rude, it’s encouraged. It shows you’re enjoying your meal. Bonus, it cools the noodles and brings out the flavor. Slurp away. Get ready for the best convenience stores in the world. 7-Eleven Lawson and Family Mart aren’t just for snacks. We’re talking full-on meals. Rice balls, curry, cold noodles, fresh coffee, even fried chicken. Some of the best food you’ll eat in Japan is behind a glass counter at 1:00 a.m. Don’t miss these musto experiences. Ride the bullet train. Visit an onsen hotspring bath. See a sumo match or practice. Sleep in a capsule hotel. Cross Shabuya. Scramble. Visit a themed cafe. Robot owl maid. Your pick. When to go and what to avoid. Spring is cherry blossom season. Beautiful but crowded. Autumn gorgeous and less busy. Summer is hot and humid. And golden week, late April, early May is travel chaos. Plan accordingly. Respect the rules, even the unwritten ones. There are a lot of invisible rules in Japan. Don’t talk on your phone in public transport. Don’t point and never stick your chopsticks upright in rice. It’s a funeral ritual. Be mindful and you’ll be welcomed with open arms. Final tip, you’ll fall in love with Japan, so take it slow. It’s tempting to rush through everything, but Japan is best experienced at a slower pace. Wander through alleyways, sit quietly in a shrine, get lost in a tiny isizakaya. Trust us, these are the moments you’ll remember. Still excited? You should be. Japan is one of the most magical, safe, and unforgettable places you’ll ever visit.
