Namajapan coming to you this time not from Japan, but instead from a rooftop pool in Bangkok, Thailand!
Golden Week is coming up, the busiest travel time in Japan. Golden Week is a week with three national public holidays and most of the Japanese companies tell their companies to take the whole week off. For a lot of Japanese that is the only full week off in the year. As you can imagine, a lot of them use it to travel overseas or inside of Japan. A lot of people living in Tokyo still have family in other parts of Japan, so they also use the Golden Week for some quality family time.
If you want to travel cheap during Golden Week, there are a couple of tips for you.
The main tip is: Start your vacation before Golden Week and end it after Golden Week. Most of Japanese people don’t do that, so you can get flights to other countries for rates which are similar to non high season times.
Connected to this tip is: Go abroad!
If you want to travel in Japan: Everything will triple in price! From flights to hotels, everything will be expensive and crowded.
Everything…except Tokyo!
If you prefer to stay in Japan, go to or stay in Tokyo. It is the only time where Tokyo is almost empty. Things that usually have long lines won’t have any lines at all.
I hope this helps you guys to plan your Golden Week in 2019!
Greetings from Thailand 🙂
