Japan Travel Info
Japan promises a fascinating blend of tradition and innovation. Expect cultural intricacies and fascinating etiquettes to navigate. You’ll find less English speakers than in many destinations, but unmatched hospitality. The overall climate is mild, but each season and region has its quirks and highlights. Northern Hokkaido sees heavy winter snow, while southern Okinawa is subtropical. Sakura and fall leaves are highlights, while typhoons are seen in the humid summer. Locals book far in advance, so if you’ll travel on a weekend or visit the biggest attractions, take care your chosen ticket is not sold out.
