    FAQs about Exoticca's Vacation Packages to Japan

     

    When is the best time to visit Japan?

    arrow-icon

    The best time to visit Japan is April (cherry blossoms) and November (fall foliage): these months are most popular for scenic beauty and pleasant weather.

    If viewing Mount Fuji at its most beautiful is your wish, December and January is the best time.

    Why is Japan so popular?

    arrow-icon

    Japan’s popularity has many sources, from its rich cultural history to modern achievements. This country is famous for its friendly people, phenomenal cuisine, stunning scenery, and art. The list of reasons to love the Land of the Rising Sun is endless.

    How many days is enough to see Japan?

    arrow-icon

    Exoticca's travel experts recommend at least two weeks for Japan tours that’ll allow you to fully enjoy the country’s offerings. 

    Is Japan affordable to tour?

    arrow-icon

    Japan can be pricey, but it all depends on what you do while there. While some aspects of traveling there are costly, the value of the experience more than compensates. The services are top quality, and the island nation is worth every cent.

     

    What is Japan’s number one tourist attraction?

    Tokyo is the number one tourist attraction for annual visitors, but the best destination is subjective. Many prefer the natural beauty of Hakone or the cultural charms of Kyoto. These are certainly stops to include on Japan tours.

     

    Do US visitors need a visa to go to Japan?

    No, US visitors do not need a visa to go to Japan. Tourists from the United States can enter Japan visa‑free for up to 90 days.


    What is the cheapest month to travel to Japan?

    January and February are usually the cheapest months to travel to Japan, excluding New Year holidays.


    Where should I go on my first trip to Japan?

    Exoticca’s Japan experts recommend to follow the Japanese “Golden Route”: Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima.


    Do Exoticca Travel Packages to Japan include flights?

    Yes, all Japan travel packages by Exoticca include flights from one of the main US airports.

     

    Do all the Exoticca Japan packages include meals?

    Exoticca Japan travel packages include some meals, only, not all of them. The most typically included meal is breakfast, but there also some lunches and dinners in iconic places included in some tours. Please refer to the package pages for all the details about the included meals.


    From which US cities do Japan Tours depart?

    Exoticca’s Japan tours depart from major US cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, and more.


    How much does a trip to Japan cost?

    A trip to Japan costs between $1,599 and approximately $9,000 per person, all‑inclusive, depending on the time of the year and the amount of days. A 10‑day trip typically costs $3,000–$5,000 per person, including flights, accommodation, food, transport, and attractions.

    Is it better to fly or go by train in Japan?

    Within Japan, it is better to use the train than the airplane in most cases. The Shinkansen train is faster and more convenient for most domestic travel.


    Should I go to Osaka or Kyoto?

    You should go to Kyoto if you like culture and temples; you should go to Osaka if you prefer food and nightlife experiences.


    How much cash should I bring to Japan?

    We recommend bringing around ¥3,000–¥6,000 (equivalent to 20 to 45 USD) per day in cash; Japan is still cash‑friendly, especially in rural areas.

    Use both cash and card. We recommend using cash for small purchases and cards for hotels and big shops.


    What is the best way to travel around Japan?

    Using the train is the best way to travel around Japan. Japanese trains are fast, reliable and extensive. Consider buying a Japan Rail Pass.


    Can a woman travel to Japan alone?

    Yes, a woman can travel to Japan alone, as it’s one of the safest countries for solo female travelers. Exercise normal precautions, as the US authorities recommend.
