In most hotels, restaurants, and train stations in big cities, there are English-speaking staff members. If you meet someone who doesn’t understand English, they’ll often try to communicate using gestures — which can be quite fun and interesting!

We recommend staying at least one week. If your flight arrives in Tokyo, you can spend about three days exploring Tokyo and nearby areas, then take a high-speed train (Shinkansen) to Kyoto or Osaka. There are many wonderful cities and towns to visit, so it’s a good idea to plan your itinerary in advance.

The one-way fare from Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen (high-speed train) is about JPY 14,000, approximately USD 90 (2025). We recommend purchasing a Japan Rail Pass, which can be more convenient and economical than buying single tickets.

Of course! While sushi and sashimi are traditional Japanese dishes, most Japanese people eat them only occasionally. There are many delicious cooked dishes such as ramen, okonomiyaki, and yakisoba, as well as a wide variety of other foods — so don’t worry!
