NEW Best Ways To Get Around Japan!

Here are the New Best Ways To Get Around Japan!

Trains are the best way
Travelling by train is one of the best ways to get around Japan. They are fast, efficient and extremely reliable. The trains follow a strict schedule, regularly arriving and departing on time. With Japan’s vast rail network, the train can take you anywhere you want to go.

Buses help the wallet
If we’re looking at the most budget friendly way to travel, it has to be by bus. If you thought Japan’s rail network is good, I’d say their buses are even better. Simply because there are areas that a bus can go but not a train, and if you’re looking to travel to remote areas or different islands in Japan, the bus can take you there. Japan Railways also operates a network of highway buses in Japan although there are other operators such as Willer Express that you can check out for pricing and route comparisons.

Renting a car gives you flexibility
When looking at exploring Japan’s countryside, they are mostly only accessible by car, so renting your own vehicle gives you the most flexibility with your schedule. Most car rentals come equipped with a navigation system in English but I would advise to keep a connection to google maps if you can, or at least download the map before you drive. You never know if the mountain range you’re going to has coverage.

Of course, you can fly
To save the most time, you can choose to fly domestic between different cities in Japan. IT is often extensive, reliable and safe plus you get to cut down your travel times. You can sometimes buy tickets with up to 50% discount with Japan airlines or All nippon airways if you book in advance.
