Do I need a visa to enter Japan?
Citizens of many countries (e.g., the U.S., Canada, EU countries, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore) can enter Japan without a visa for short-term stays (usually up to 90 days) for tourism.
Please check with the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan: www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html
What should I pack?
On all our tours, we primarily use Japan's fast and efficient public transportation system. However, that also means you'll be responsible for carrying your own luggage, often through busy stations and onto trains.
For your comfort and convenience, we strongly recommend packing light.
Please also ensure that your suitcase's total dimensions (width + height + depth) stay under 125 cm, as this is the maximum size allowed for luggage on the shinkansen (bullet train) without a special reservation.
