What to Do in Japan?

Tips and places from personal experience

A quick intro. Masha Brish and I have been traveling to Japan since late 2012, with eight trips so far. We absolutely love this country, and people often (not really) ask us: What is there to do? Here’s our answer:


Getting Started


When to Go

Don’t go to Japan in the summer — it’s *super* hot. Spring, autumn, or winter are the best seasons. October, November (red maples), December, and January are all good. April is great. In May you might hit Golden Week — and end up standing in the shinkansen aisle.

Money

Don’t forget a physical card. Apple Pay is accepted more often now, but not everywhere. Have some cash in yen with you. There's a myth that airports have the best rates — not true. I recommend Oiran Japan, Ninja Money Exchange, and Sakura Exchange for exchanging money.

Transport

Japan has an amazing train system with shinkansen, subways, and local trains that take you almost anywhere — and for places you can’t reach, there are ferries. Taxis are expensive. Uber exists, but it’s usually faster to just hail a cab (pay with cash or card).

Where to Stay

Usually, rooms are small, but not always. Ryokans give you a real authentic experience — you have to stay in at least one! There are hostels, and also capsule hotels (not really for families). We’re now fans of the Hoshino Resorts chain.

Navigation

You can trust Google Maps: it helps you plan routes, check train schedules, see which platform your train leaves from, and much more.

JR Pass

Since October 1, 2023, prices have gone way up — so whether it’s worth buying is a big question now. Here’s the link to buy it online.

On Your Phone

We always buy an eSIM in advance for internet, for example at Airlalo.

$3 bonus with promo code
NIKITA8199


On iPhone, you can set up a Suica or Pasmo transport card in the Wallet app and top it up with Apple Pay. It’s handy for subways, trains, taxis, vending machines, and payments up to 20k yen.

Packing

  • Bring a large empty suitcase (or buy one there, at Muji).
  • An adapter for your gadgets, or buy a universal adapter.
  • A thermos or get a nice Kinto tumbler (for hot tea from vending machines).
  • A backpack for walks.
  • A food container.
  • Buy a clear umbrella there (a big win if you don’t lose it and manage to bring it home).

Earthquakes

Within the next 30 years, a massive (M8–M9) Nankai Trough earthquake may hit. Just in case, install the NERV app. There’s also a helpful live stream from TeeFive on YouTube. In January 2024, in Takayama, we were seriously rocked by waves from the Noto peninsula while we were sleeping in a hotel. It’s both scary and thrilling.

Toilets

Japanese toilets are a life-changer. Pros can instantly find the flush button, sensor, or lever, and even adjust the intensity and temperature of the bidet spray. Toilets are free, spotless, and everywhere.

Language

English is enough for most situations. It’s nice to learn a few words: konnichiwa (hello), arigatou gozaimasu (thank you), and sumimasen (excuse me). Use ChatGPT for everything — from taxi instructions to translating handwritten menus.

Smoking

You can only smoke where smoking is allowed. Indoor smoking rooms can be found in hotels and on the upper floors of shopping centers. Sometimes you’ll find rare public ashtrays and smoking zones on the street, but the main rule: if you see a Japanese person smoking, just stand next to them and smoke. Also, vape juices here are sold without nicotine at all.

Trash

This is important. Walking around the city, you’ll barely see any trash bins. Don’t put bento boxes in the bottles-only bins by vending machines. You can throw out trash at any convenience store by the register, or just take it back to your hotel.

Etiquette

Always respect queues, don’t blow your nose in public, and don’t point with your finger. Take off your shoes before entering some places. On public transport, speak quietly and don’t eat anything (in shinkansen, eating is totally fine). Be polite — always use both hands to give or receive money or documents. Don’t try to open taxi doors yourself — the driver does it for you. Tipping isn’t customary.

Jetlag

Try to stay awake until at least 9pm on your first day. It takes me almost a week to fully adjust, but waking up at 5:30am is kind of awesome. You get to catch the sunrise.

Outlets

Bring an adapter, or better yet, buy a powerful universal charger with multiple ports (Muji has great ones). Actually, check your cords drawer at home — you might already have a suitable plug for Japan.

How Long to Stay

Minimum a week, but two is better. No matter how long you go for, it’ll never feel enough, and you’ll never want to leave.

About Food

This is a country all about food. There’s a lot of it — it’s accessible, tasty, and actually pretty healthy, at least when it comes to traditional cuisine. (It’s also very easy to overeat!)

Eat

  1. Sip on some rich ramen.
  2. Learn to properly unwrap a couple of onigiri.
  3. Have a crispy okonomiyaki (a cabbage pancake with various fillings) for breakfast.
  4. Buy a box of bento and drinks for your train ride.
  5. Enjoy a cheesy taiyaki with Kewpie mayo out on the street.
  6. Dip veggie tempura into hot fish broth — with chopsticks, of course.
  7. Eat a bowl of donburi with eel (unagi donburi) or ikura — absolutely amazing.
  8. Devour some gyudon (beef bowl).
  9. Buy the biggest box of soft Tokyo Banana sponge cakes and go wild.
  10. Find a sweet omelette roll tamagoyaki in your bento.
  11. Grill your own meat at a yakiniku restaurant (with the fan hose for your smoke, naturally).
  12. Make a mess with strawberry mochi and whipped cream from FamilyMart.
  13. Sweat from spicy katsu curry or chicken curry rice.
  14. Throw mushrooms, sprouts, meat, and more into your broth for classic shabu-shabu.
  15. Try octopus balls takoyaki.
  16. No offense to nutritionists: eat fluffy pancakes with maple syrup and have a black coffee.
  17. Take a bite of dorayaki (red bean pancakes) filled with azuki paste.
  18. Finally, eat some sushi and sashimi (especially tuna and eel with mayo, torched with a blowtorch!).
  19. Matcha ice cream.
  20. Everything with matcha!
  21. At night, make yourself a Cup Noodle in your hotel and eat it naked at the edge of your bed, watching the rain outside.
  22. Out of curiosity, try a yakisoba-pan hot dog — with noodles inside.
  23. McDonald’s here is actually fine; MOS Burger is no longer recommended.

Drink

  1. Drink chilled sake (nihonshu) — especially dry types like Junmai, Tokubetsu Junmai, Kimoto, or Yamahai. Best without added spirits and not too sweet. Remember: good sake is never heated. And before that, don’t forget to chug a bottle of Ukon no Chikara!
  2. Crack open cans of Asahi, Kirin, or Sapporo on the shinkansen.
  3. Explore the endless variety of hot and cold drinks from vending machines.
  4. Chew on some genmaicha — green tea with roasted rice.
  5. Go to Starbucks without your laptop and get a matcha latte. Closer to Halloween, grab a pumpkin latte — with your laptop, of course.
  6. Drink the legendary isotonic Pocari Sweat.
  7. Take a shot of some beauty collagen drink — why not?
  8. Be happy you can have Yakult again.
  9. Try ramune from a cool bottle with a glass marble inside — at least once.
  10. Make a face at the taste of amazake.
  11. Brew yourself a drip coffee in the hotel.
  12. Drink tap water (turns out it’s not always good — in public toilets it can taste very chlorinated).
My Walk Kit (Nikita’s choice):  Ukon no Chikara, onigiri, Ozeki “hobo sake” in a cup, Calorie Mate, and a bottle of water.

Tokyo 東京

A city made up of cities — it’s impossible to see everything. Honestly, it’s just the best.

Hakone 箱根町

︎On the map

It’s all about a ryokan with hot spring water and, if you’re lucky, an amazing view of Mt. Fuji. This is a perfect spot to catch your breath after busy days in Tokyo. Don’t forget to get a local pass at Odawara Station. It’s a great stopover before heading to Osaka or Kyoto.

  1. Ride the mountain tram and take in the views
  2. Check into a ryokan, relax in the hot springs, walk around in a yukata and slippers, eat fish, rice, and miso soup for breakfast (it’s even cooler if you have your own private ofuro on your balcony)
  3. Grab a cheese hotdog at Shake&Dog at Gora Station
  4. Take the ropeway to Ōwakudani Station, smell the sulfur, try a black egg, and snap a pic of Mt. Fuji if you’re lucky with the weather

  8. You can zoom across the lake by private boat straight to the Torii of Peace at Hakone Shrine
  9. Wander around The Hakone Open-Air Museum
  10. Just chill


Osaka 大阪 

︎On the map
The charm is hidden away from the main train station Shin-Osaka. It’s a city I didn’t fall in love with immediately. To me, it feels a bit more like Moscow — fast, lively, sometimes chaotic.

  1. Wander around Tsutenkaku Tower in the Shin Sekai district.
  2. Have breakfast like Agent Dale Cooper in the smoky Cafe Tsutenkaku near the tower.
  3. Stroll around Dotonbori with its giant crabs and fish signs.
  4. Sit and giggle on the yellow Ferris wheel at Don Quijote Dotonbori.
  5. Pop into the neon-lit Tamade supermarket in the evening.
  6. Visit Super Mario Land (yes, it’s real!).
  7. Flip through bug books at Nakanoshima Children's Book Forest.
  8. Everyone takes a trip from Osaka to Nara to feed the deer. There are cool temples, but honestly, too many tourists and deer for my taste — your call.
Hotel Tip
E-stay Ebisu (pros: washer, mini-kitchen, spacious room, reasonably priced. Cons: slightly complicated self check-in via iPad in the lobby). In general, hotels in Osaka are cheaper.

Kyoto 京都

︎On the map
From Osaka to Kyoto, it’s just a 15-minute shinkansen ride.

  1. As soon as you arrive, go up to the observation deck at Kyoto Station.
  2. Have pancakes for breakfast in the super old-school Colorado Coffee where you can smoke indoors.
  3. Head to the Rankyo Gorge, rent a rowboat for an hour, and sip matcha latte at the beautiful % Arabica.
  4. Walk to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove.
  5. Check out the park with the impressive black pagoda at To-ji Temple.
  6. See the Golden Pavilion (be ready for crowds of tourists — also, fun fact, Steve Jobs was photographed here with his daughter).
  7. Wander through Gion — the oldest geisha district (don’t take photos of geisha).
  8. Drop by Umekoji Park, check out the aquarium with jellyfish and dolphins, and the railway museum where you’ll hear train whistles all around.
  9. In the evening, get lost in the Nineizaka area, famous for traditional crafts, cafés, and shops.
  10. Once you’re tired from walking, stumble into a sake bar — have a drink and a bite.
Hotel Tip
OMO3 — a small hotel not far from the main station, with a self-service mini-café and laundry on the first floor.


Naoshima 直島

︎On the map

Until the 1980s, this was just an unremarkable fishing island—until genius, billionaire, and philanthropist Seiji Tsutsumi and his colleague Soji Yamanaka decided to turn it into a cultural hotspot. Later, another genius, architect Tadao Ando, joined the project. Now, it’s an incredible place. Truly.

You can get to the island by ferry from Uno Port. Stock up on snacks at 7-Eleven first—the island doesn’t have many stores.

  1. Crawl inside the iconic pumpkin at the pier and eat curry rice in the glass pavilion at the Marine Station.
  2. Swim at the beach (September is still warm).
  3. Wait for someone to finish taking pictures with the pumpkin, then take your own—and photograph the pumpkin again.
  4. Absolutely visit the public bath Naoshima Bath "I︎湯" (if it’s open) and pick up some souvenirs.
  5. Rent a bike (near the ferry terminal) and explore the island by bicycle.
  6. Visit all the houses of the Art House Project (especially Minamidera).
  7. Puff out your cheeks next to the fiberglass bubbles at Naoshima Port Terminal.
  8. Grab a hot eggplant pizza to go at Luke's Pizza & Grill.
  9. Hop on the stones around Naoshima Hall.
  10. Stop by the tiny Ando Museum.
  11. Listen to the rustling of mirrored balls in the Valley Gallery.
  12. You’ll find James Turrell and tons of other amazing works in the Chichu Art Museum.
  13. The Lee Ufan Museum will impress architecture fans, while the exhibits are for true art connoisseurs.
  14. Stand next to the giant balls at Seaside Gallery.
  15. Have a Jäger at Little Plum.
  16. Admire the silhouette of Ozuchi island (we call it Kuchikashima).
  17. Watch the sunsets.

Splash out Stay in a museum room at Benesse Art House and treat yourself to a Michelin-course dinner while dying of jetlag.
On a budget Rent a room from a local grandma. Or just crash in a yurt or try living in a trailer.

Teshima 豊島

︎On the map You can get there by passenger boat from the Miyanoura pier (a bit to the right of where the ferries from Uno arrive). Once you land, rent an e-bike and head straight for the stunning Teshima Art Museum.

Shodoshima 小豆島

︎On the map
Compared to Naoshima, it’s a giant. The whole island—and the ferry—is all about olives. Seriously, everything is about olives. We quietly celebrated New Year’s 2020 here at Kairo. Not much else to say about this place, honestly.

Takayama 高山市

︎On the map

You can reach Takayama by train from Nagoya, passing through incredibly scenic gorges and river valleys. The town itself is small, full of traditional low-rise Japanese neighborhoods, and packed with cafés. It’s a great place to stroll around before heading off to a mountain ryokan.

  1. Don’t miss the crafts exhibition at Takayama Station.
  2. Walk the old street Sanmachi Suji with its workshops and the oldest sake breweries (tasting is a must).
  3. Stroll all the other streets too.
  4. Have a hearty lunch at Takumiya Yasukawa.
  5. Get your cup photographed (and drink it) at the specialty street coffee shop Koma Coffee.
  6. Stay at a ryokan with hot springs.
  7. Try the local Hida-gyu (飛騨牛) beef sushi.
  8. Check out retro toys, signs, arcade machines and more at the Takayama Shōwa-kan Museum.
  9. Take a bus to Shirakawa-go to see the unique gassho-zukuri houses with thick thatched roofs.
  10. Grill meat over charcoal at Suzuya Restaurant.


Other Cities


Kanazawa

︎On the map Come here for the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (honestly, it's worth sacrificing a day for the museum, you can take a train from Osaka)

Nagoya

︎On the map Usually we just zip right through. Spent one night there and immediately ended up in some alcohol den straight from the station. Haven’t explored much, but there’s definitely stuff to see

Okayama

︎On the map
City remains unexplored. We usually just stay overnight here so we can catch the morning ferry from Uno to Naoshima

Yakushima

︎On the mapYou can get to the island from Kagoshima. The forests here inspired Ghibli’s "Princess Mononoke." We arrived with a fever and a cold, so didn’t see much

Sapporo

︎On the map
The city itself didn’t leave a strong impression. The most amazing place outside the city is the Hill of the Buddha park, designed by Tadao Ando

Toya-ko

︎On the map
It's awesome to stay on the shore of this volcanic donut-shaped lake. Watch the fireworks (they’re every day here). Take a boat to the island in the center of Lake Toya and walk in the forest. Before leaving, visit the Toyako Visitor Center to learn about the area's geology

Kobe

︎On the map
Kobe is wonderful, from the mountains to the bay. Start with the mountain—there’s the Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden. The subway in Kobe is super cozy. Honestly, the whole place just feels really nice. Gotta come back here

Hiroshima

︎On the map We purposely skipped the main attraction of the city. Instead, we enjoyed the parks, climbed a mountain, and saw amazing views from a Buddhist stupa

Nagasaki

︎On the map
Cool city, I need to remember what we actually did there

About Onsen

Let’s clarify right away: not every public bath is an onsen. If the water comes from underground, naturally hot, that’s an onsen. If it’s just tap water, it’s a sento. Still, regardless of water source, etiquette rules in public baths are the same.
 
  1. Don’t show up super drunk
  2. First, take off your shoes and put them in a locker, then you can grab a towel
  3. Women’s and men’s areas are marked by a red noren for women, blue for men
  4. You’ll get two towels: a small one and a big one. Leave the big one in the locker for later. Take the small one with you
  5. The most important, fundamental, absolute rule: wash yourself thoroughly first
  6. There are cubicles separated by partitions with a stool, a basin, a shower head, and a set of shampoos
  7. The small towel becomes your washcloth. After washing, rinse it well in the basin and wring it out
  8. Now you can get in the water
  9. You’ll find different baths: herbal, sulfur, even electric ones (I avoid those). The real bliss is sitting outside, especially if it’s raining or snowing
  10. Get into the water slowly
  11. You can put the small towel on the side of the bath, fold it neatly, or put it on your head
  12. If you get too hot but don’t want to get out, sit on the edge with your feet still in the water
  13. Keep quiet or talk in a low voice. Don’t dip your towel in the water
  14. In the men’s area, some guys walk around with the towel covering themselves
  15. Benches, stools, sides of the bath—anything your clean butt touches should be rinsed with water after. There are little dippers for this
  16. After the sauna, you must shower again
  17. Some places have Finnish saunas or hammams. There you should either rinse your spot with water or use special mats to sit on
  18. After you’re done, no need to wash off again. Don’t rinse off the minerals—the minerals keep working on your skin
  19. Wring out your towel and get the excess water off your body.
  20. Don’t go dripping onto the sacred tatami or even regular carpet in the changing room—that’s really not cool
  21. In the changing room, you’ll find hair dryers, sometimes cotton swabs, combs disinfected in special boxes, aftershave lotions, tonics for your face and hair
  22. Otsukaresama! (You did well!)
  23. If they sell towels with cool prints, it’s a great souvenir
Restrictions

Most baths don’t allow tattoos. If you have a small one, you can buy special flesh-colored patches to cover it.

Not all baths allow kids.
Check ahead, especially if you have a really small child.

What to Bring Back

  1. Sake in a beautiful barrel, glass, or Tetra Pak
  2. A few packs of furikake rice seasoning

Tax Free
Always carry your passport. For purchases over 5,000¥ in large chains, you can get Tax Free right at the register

Powerful Lifehack The shop doesn’t accept Apple Pay and you don’t have a card, and your purchase is under 20,000? Load money onto Suica or Pasmo

Buy a book about the place you visited (especially at museums), instead of magnets or other useless stuff
