The good news, public transport is still flawless and there are tons of free shrines, gardens, and scenic spots to explore.

Starting March 2026, Kyoto will introduce a new tourist lodging tax, with luxury stays adding up to ¥10,000 per night. 💸
Hotel prices are rising nationwide as tourism hits record highs, and the JR Pass — still the easiest way to explore Japan — has seen a major price update since 2024.
Even everyday costs like food and transport are slowly increasing, but there are still endless free shrines, gardens, and scenic viewpoints waiting across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Mount Fuji.
Travel smart, budget early, and enjoy Japan in 2026 — a year when exploring this country will feel more meaningful than ever. 🗾
