Japan Travel FAQs
A trip with Royalairtrip allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to visit, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.
Can I travel to Japan without a visa?
Citizens of 70 countries now get visa free travel including those from America, Australia, Canada, and most European countries. If you are a citizen of one of those countries you may take a visa free trip for up to 90 days without any prior application or documentation required. It is always advisable to check the latest entry requirements well before your departure date as visa policies can occasionally change. For citizens of countries not included in the visa exemption list a tourist visa can be applied for through the nearest Japanese embassy or consulate. Royal Air Trip provides complete and up to date visa guidance to all clients well before their departure.
How long should I spend in Japan?
For a complete visit covering main attractions and special experiences a 10 day trip is ideal. If you are short on time 7 days in Tokyo and Kyoto gives a full and satisfying representation of this extraordinary country. For those with more time available a longer trip of around two weeks opens up wonderful additional possibilities including eating your way through Osaka, enjoying a traditional onsen experience in Hakone, marvelling at the poignant peace memorials and beautiful parks of Hiroshima, heading north to the stunning wilderness of Hokkaido, and countless other unforgettable experiences. Royal Air Trip designs flexible itineraries perfectly suited to your available time and travel interests throughout this magnificent destination.
When is the best time of year to visit Japan?
Spring and autumn are the most recommended seasons offering two of the most visually spectacular natural phenomena found anywhere in the world. Dreamlike cherry blossoms painting entire cities in delicate shades of pink and white herald the arrival of spring while the extraordinary autumn foliage transforming landscapes into breathtaking canvases of red, orange, and golden yellow makes September to November equally magical. Summer brings vibrant festivals with traditional dancing, refreshing sea breezes, and spectacular fireworks celebrations that create wonderfully energetic memories. Winter offers a completely different kind of magic with pristine powder snow perfect for world class skiing and a peaceful serene beauty that reveals a deeply authentic and unhurried side of this remarkable destination. Royal Air Trip helps you choose the perfect season.
What is included in a private Japan tour?
Inclusions vary depending on your personal preferences and travel style but typically cover comfortable accommodations, private transportation arrangements, guided sightseeing, selected meals, and carefully curated cultural experiences tailored specifically to your interests. Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed to balance iconic highlights with authentic off the beaten path discoveries that most standard group tours never include. We provide clear and detailed proposals so you understand exactly what is included before confirming your trip giving you complete peace of mind throughout the entire planning process. Royal Air Trip specialises in creating perfectly personalised private touring experiences that feel genuinely unique and deeply memorable for every single client we work with.
Is it necessary to change the Japanese Yen?
Although UnionPay and JCB credit cards are widely accepted with a 3 percent fee at major hotels, shopping centres, and restaurants carrying local currency remains strongly recommended throughout your visit. Most street shops, smaller restaurants, and traditional establishments strongly prefer cash payments and coins are absolutely essential when visiting shrines and using the ubiquitous vending machines found on virtually every street corner. ATMs for exchanging currency are conveniently located at international airports allowing you to withdraw local currency immediately upon arrival. Alternatively Post Office ATMs, Citibank ATMs, and the internationally friendly ATMs found in every 7-Eleven convenience store throughout the country provide reliable and easy currency access. Royal Air Trip advises all clients on the smartest money management strategies for their itinerary.
