Any tips on traveling to Japan on my own?
I am planning to go to Tokyo for a week or so sometime during winter.
- beach weddings in Thailand
So let’s see some tips on traveling to Japan on your own.
Japan is known as one of the most polite to visitors. It is also a safe place to travel as Japan has low crime rates compared to the other parts of the world. You might want to visit Japan on your own due to some reasons such as you don’t have any partners or you have to feel travel by your own thus you have to consider some tips while you travel.
The most important thing that you must keep in mind is your own safety as you are traveling on your own. Make sure you bring your own first aid kit in your bag if you got any injuries while traveling. You might want to bring any protective tool but don’t bring dangerous weapon as you might face problem at the airport.
There are many large companies provide flight to Japan, so choose the most suitable flight for you. Set a specific day for your trip so you can save your budget for your travel plus you have to maintain your budget alone. There are many companies that provide online booking for flight to Japan. Gather enough information and compare prices between different companies in order to get the best results.
The streets of large cities in Japan are generally very busy and slow, so I guess traveling by train is the best way to enjoy your travel in Japan. The best way to get around is by using Japan Rail (JR) system. You must book the Pass before leaving your home about three months before you plan to travel. When you have your own Pass, you are free to travel almost anywhere in Japan.
Traveling on your own means that you have to communicate with the local people by yourself as there is nobody assisting you. You have to learn Japanese language – the basic one at least. If you are looking for Japanese language course, you can do so by taking short Japanese language class, learning through the Internet & friends or buy a software program such as software or videos.
The large amount of variation in climate in Japan provides interesting experiences for travelers especially the outdoor lovers. Only some part of Japan might cost you more expensive budget for foods, accommodations and services so make sure to choose the best one that suits you needs and budget.
And don’t forget to get your travel insurance!
Hope these tips help you in traveling to Japan on your own.

This will make it easier for you to travel around at various play-off destinations. Instead of going online, it is much better to check them out through travel agents. Cheap international flights to Asia like in countries such as Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, India and some other part of the Middle East have discount.
I’d recommend to plan a visit in Japan very thoroughly beforehand. Especially because of the language difficulties. Even if the traveler tries to learn Japanese before the trip, it will be difficult to aktually talk to the people. Therefore, one should be secure about the route to travel, the tickets, booked hostels/hotels etc.
I looked at http://www.jrpass.com site, is this the right thing for a Japan Rail Pass like you mentioned?
Thanks!
one day i will save up on go on that bullet train!
First aid kit is always a first priority when you are traveling alone along with mobile phones
How will provide travel insurance? I never have the benefit of travel insurance. How can I apply to travel insurance?
I would like to know which is the best part of Japan to visit..I wonder if having 15 days staying only in Tokio or going also to the northern part of the island that someone told me is by far the best.
Great tips for visiting Japan! I’d recommend a quick translator for communicating with the locals. I think they have apps for smartphones that will do just fine for this sort of thing.
Japan is a must to visit – beautiful country/
I will go to Japanese language class first before i travel alone. Japanese are very hospitable. Look at this sites(http://www.sihanoukville.info/)this will help you about good and cheaper travel.
Thanks for sharing this. I am planning to go to japan to look for antiques. Just want to say have a nice trip to everyone. Take care!
What a great blog! If you find some time, how about some tips for flying internationally for the first time…and by yourself! I’m flying to Istanbul in August and have never left the country. I’m a little nervous!
Thanks!

I have never visit Japan before.I love to visit Japan one day..hope so
I am planning this tour on my own for such a long time. Usually I prefer to stay longer than just a week holiday. Living and learning different cultures in my hobby. Japan is my dream and I hope my first trip there will be in the next couple of months.
Japan is a beautiful country.
Thank you for the advice!I have just prepared to travel Japan!
Thanks for sharing information…Japan is really a good place to visit…
traveling to japan on our own just keep in mind your own safety first and dont bring any dangerous weapon as you might have to face problem.
Traveling to place where you find language change need to be take care for communication etc , I had a bad time once in France , when i was alone there for the first time. Thanks
Japan is such a dainty place. it will really interest those who are enthusiastic to learn of new cultures and the traditions of other nations. but then again if you miss the summer sunshine, you can always go to cancun….
I am definitely going to add some of the attractions in Japan to my blog after reading this article ! Great work!
How do you know to get well along with japanese? Just say “HI!”. It is not the same meaning with “hello” or “how are you doing”, but “yes”. Lol, they are totally a sort of people who need confirmation from others.

Amelian is right. Watch your back when traveling solo. I don’t know about carrying weapons though. You may have some problems going through customs. Perhaps get some pepper spray. All in all, traveling with a buddy may give you more peace of mind when it comes to your security.
yes, it is true, you should watch your back when you are travelling in other countries. nothing is more important than safety.

I agree that Japan is one of the most beautiful country in the world. The tips can e helpful but as what other commentators commented, studying Japanese on line is a lot different from actual conversation to Japanese. If you want to go to Japan I suggest to plan it thoroughly beforehand. Asking advice from travel agencies is a good idea.
Wow this is a brilliant idea. I have heard about the ancient structures in Japan and I am very interested to see them. However, it could be hard for me to interact or to communicate the other Japanese because of the language barrier. Thank you for the tips anyway. I’m looking forward to visit Japan.
Thanks for the useful information on Japan, especially timely as me and my family are thinking about a trip there early next year.
Been to japan 2 times alone, and Got to agree to everything that you wrote here. Thumbs up!
I have never visit Japan before. So I am looking forward to seeing Japan soon.
Japan is an extremely safe country to travel on your own. Although the language barrier is a bit of a problem, the people there will bend over backwards to try and help out.
Japan is an exotic and beautiful travel destination that is worth traveling to. I like the people of Japan very much. They are hardworking.
my daughter (23 yrs) is gg Japan on her own this December and i’m worried sick of her … please advise.
