With good food, beautiful sceneries, rich culture, four wonderful seasons to enjoy, and of course, its highly-acclaimed established public transport network, travelling Japan on your own can be really enjoyable. You can get by easily with basic knowledge of the Japanese language; don't worry even if you don't know Japanese language at all because Japanese are generally helpful and friendly -- with body language and a smile, you'll be able to get help whenever you need. 

 

In this section, we share with you travel advice and recommendation for usual sightseeing spots which travel agencies don't usually bring you to. Sometimes, even locals or Japanese themselves don't even know these gems. Feel free to drop us a note if you need more information and we'll try our best to answer them.

 

Japan is made up of 8 regions, which comprise 47 prefectures. The Legend lists the prefectures under each region.
