Japan Travel Guide 2026: Flights, Suica Card, Best Time & Golden Route #travelwithdimaak

Here are a few tips most travellers don’t know:

✈️ Book flights at least 6 months early to get the best prices
🛫 1-stop flights are usually cheaper than direct flights
🗾 Follow the Golden Route → Tokyo → Kyoto → Osaka
🗓 Plan your cities, attractions, restaurants & shopping before booking hotels
✈️ Haneda Airport is closer to Tokyo (20 mins) than Narita (1+ hour)
📅 March–May is peak season, hotels are expensive
💰 June is one of the best months for budget travel

🚆 Once you land in Tokyo, get a Suica Card — it works for trains, buses, taxis, and even convenience stores.

Planning ahead makes your Japan trip smoother, cheaper, and far more enjoyable.
