JapanTravel

I arrived in Japan yesterday and have been really enjoying Shinjuku so far. Tonight while walking back to my hotel I ended up going through one of the adult entertainment areas. While walking alone, a man approached me asking if I was okay and if I wanted anything. I said no and...

I’ve finally decided I’m going to Japan, sometime between September and December, for over a month. Planning to backpack around solo and trying to figure out a realistic budget (not including flights). Would love suggestions for cheap but clean and decent places to stay. Hotels,...

Looking at booking a flight from Milan to Tokyo Narita with Air China, with a stopover in either Shanghai or Beijing. There have been reports of Air China cancelling some flights to Japan, and it’s unclear if those cancellations are already reflected in the current booking...

Just got back and wow… I loved it. But I wish I had relaxed way sooner. Japan is not a checklist country. I tried to optimize every hour at first. The best moments weren’t the big “must see” spots. They were wandering down random side streets and stumbling into tiny restaurants...

Arriving March 5 around 5am after basically 23 hours of travel with 2 stops. East coast to west coast to Japan. I’ll be fried. My loose plan was to hit First Cabin to freshen up, then head to my capsule hotel and drop bags before 10am check in. I know most things won’t be open...

Our flight is scheduled to land at Haneda at 10:15pm on a Friday in April. Our hotel is about a 32 minute train ride from the airport and located right near the station. The hotel has a midnight check-in cutoff, so we’re trying to figure out if this is realistically doable. We...

I just discovered something pretty stressful and I’m still trying to figure out what to do. A few months ago I booked roundtrip tickets to Japan for me and a friend through Priceline. When I first paid, there were a bunch of weird separate charges showing up on my card like $27,...

I recently lost my job and realized this might be the first time in years that I actually have time to travel. I’ve never really done much traveling before because of school and work, but I’d love to finally visit Japan for about a week sometime in the next month. Most of the...

I’ll be landing at Haneda around 1AM for a trip to Tokyo and staying near the Tokyo Station area. From what I can see, most of the trains and buses have already stopped running by then. The only options I’m seeing are taxis or airport transfers and they seem pretty expensive for...
