A Few Words about Japan

Japan is a beautiful and fascinating country full of its own special Eastern charm felt clearly by every European who ever visited these hospitable islands. Since the Land of the Rising Sun had been isolated from the rest of the world for long periods of time, the Japanese people developed a fascinating distinctness, an unmatched sense of beauty, and enormous respect for their own history.

This is why a visit to Japan will be interesting for any European regardless of their gender, age, and confession. Thanks to the country’s rather large territory, every tourist may visit the very nook that corresponds with their mindset. What definitely sets Japan apart is its ideology based on the state religion: Shintoism, or “the way of the gods”. Visit this amazing world with the experts.

Advice from the Expert

Anna Kraskovska

JR Pass can be useful

Buying a JR Pass train ticket before you come to Japan is highly recommended, because you can’t get it when you are in Japan and you will overpay every time for every ride. It will work not only for Tokyo-Kyoto, for instance, but inside Tokyo on some of local trains

Anna Kraskovska

Do Not Talk on the Phone in Public Transport
Even though quiet talking on the phone is allowed in the streets of Japan, in public transport – subway, trains, buses – using phones is prohibited altogether. Any violation of this rule will lead to people’s disapproval.

Anna Kraskovska

Tips at Restaurants
In Japan, payment for service is strictly regulated. When going to a restaurant, it is sufficient to pay for the order. Tips are not welcome and, in some cases, may even be perceived as offensive.

Anna Kraskovska

Sort the Garbage
Trash cans are not common in Japan. The majority of them are found within the territory of railway stations. The country promotes waste sorting, and the cans are meant for different types of garbage. If you cannot find a suitable trash can along the way, it is best to throw out the garbage at the hotel.

Anna Kraskovska

You Can’t Photograph the Locals
In Japan, it is prohibited to take photos of people without their consent. This rule also pertains to the goods in stores and to museum exhibits. Prior to taking out your camera, ask the employees if making photos is allowed. Otherwise, it is possible to get a fine or even find oneself in a police station.

    I wanted to inquire about the feasibility and practicality of our travel plan. We are scheduled to arrive at Tokyo (HND) early in November, around 07:30. Our idea is to catch a train directly from the airport to Kyoto immediately upon arrival. We plan to spend 3 to 4 nights in Kyoto before returning to Tokyo for another 3 nights, and then fly back.

      I’m glad to hear about your travel plans!

      Your itinerary of arriving in Tokyo (HND) in early November at 07:30 and then taking a train directly to Kyoto upon arrival sounds feasible and practical. The train journey from Tokyo to Kyoto is efficient, and there are several options available, including the Shinkansen (bullet train), which provides a quick and comfortable ride between the two cities.

      Staying in Kyoto for 3 to 4 nights will allow you to explore and experience the rich cultural and historical attractions the city has to offer. It’s a great choice for immersing yourself in the traditional beauty of Japan.

      After your stay in Kyoto, returning to Tokyo for another 3 nights is an excellent way to experience the vibrant and modern side of the country. Tokyo is a bustling metropolis with a wide range of activities, from world-class shopping and dining to fascinating museums and entertainment.

      Overall, your itinerary strikes a good balance between the traditional and contemporary aspects of Japan, giving you a well-rounded travel experience.

      I hope you have a fantastic time during your journey. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience, and we will be delighted to make your trip unforgettable. We are committed to ensuring your experience is exceptional.

    Hello,

    I’ve been tasked with finding a sushi train or Kaitenzushi restaurant that can accommodate a group of 37 people for lunch. The challenge is to find a place in or near the Ginza district. While I understand that these restaurants are typically small and may not easily cater to such a large group, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for larger establishments that could accommodate us. Your assistance in this matter would be highly valued.

      Hello! Finding a sushi train or Kaitenzushi restaurant that can accommodate a group of 37 people in or near the Ginza district can be a bit challenging due to the small size of these traditional restaurants. However, I’ll do my best to provide some recommendations for larger establishments that might be able to cater to your group:

      Sushi Zanmai Higashi-Ginza (すしざんまい東銀座店): Sushi Zanmai is a popular sushi chain in Tokyo, and their Higashi-Ginza branch might have the capacity to accommodate larger groups. It’s a bit more spacious than traditional sushi trains, but it’s still recommended to call ahead for a reservation to ensure they can handle a group of 37.
      Kizuna Sushi Ginza (絆 銀座): Kizuna Sushi is known for its modern and stylish sushi train setup. They have a decent seating capacity, which might work for your group size. It’s advisable to contact them in advance to discuss your reservation needs.
      Magurobito Ginza (まぐろ人 銀座): This restaurant is famous for its tuna-focused sushi and has a slightly larger seating area than traditional sushi trains. They might be able to accommodate your group if you reserve in advance.
      Uobei Sushi (魚べい 銀座店): While Uobei Sushi is not a traditional Kaitenzushi restaurant, it offers a unique experience with sushi delivered via a futuristic conveyor belt system. They have more space available than some traditional sushi trains, so it might be worth checking with them regarding group reservations.
      Remember, regardless of where you decide to go, it’s essential to make a reservation well in advance, specifying the group size and any specific requirements you might have.
