Personal Recommendations from the Team
Activity Guide
Still looking for inspiration on what to do in Japan? We've put together our favorites for Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
Japanese people love order and planning. Therefore, it is very important to book your tickets and activities in advance. You don't want to find out upon arrival that everything is fully booked.
In the blog, you'll find classics (teamLabs, Skytower, or Nintendo Museum) as well as cultural experiences (tea ceremony).
JR Pass All Japan
Would you like to explore Japan by train? With the JR Pass Japan, you can use almost all trains and ferries throughout Japan. As often as you like. Perfect for your trip.
You can secure 7 days at the best price for 280 Euros (cheaper than on-site) at GetYourGuide*. Do you need 14 or 21 days? No problem!
Unsure if it's worth it? You can find more information about available trains and the process here.
Internet in Japan
Secure an eSIM data package for Japan conveniently with our partner Saily. Avoid falling into a cost trap with your mobile provider – Japan is usually not included.
Data packages are available from 3 Euros. They start at 1 GB and go up to unlimited data. Exactly what you need for your trip to Japan.
With our voucher code "DRIVEDOCS10" you receive an additional 10% discount.
Book recommendation to get you excited
You've planned and booked your trip? Our recommended read "Abroad in Japan" by Chris Broad is perfect for getting acquainted.
Chris, a young teacher from England, begins his career in rural Japan.
The book is perfect for getting to know Japanese culture and its peculiarities. It's an entertaining read and includes some tips for your trip.
Car Rental in Japan
In our experience, you not only get the best prices at Check24, but also the best conditions (included kilometers, insurance, ...).
We had very good experiences with Nissan and Orix in Tokyo and Okinawa.
Be sure to check if dropping off the car in the same city is worthwhile and look for free cancellation. You can save money with these two points.
Hotel recommendation from the team
Do you want to play it safe when booking a hotel? We have put together our personal recommendations and would like to share them with you.
The DriveDocs Japan Team has already tried out several hotels in Japan themselves. Whether downtown Tokyo or rural Fujiyoshida.
