Travel Tips

Currency: JPY Time Zone: Japan Standard Time (UTC +9:00) Language: Japanese

Hello, glad to hear about your upcoming tour to Tokushima, Kochi, Ehime, and Kagawa. Here are some travel tips for your journey.

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit these Japanese provinces is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). This is when the weather is mild and pleasant, and the scenery is spectacular due to blooming cherry blossoms in spring or fall foliage in autumn.

Route and Accessibility:
You can reach Tokushima by plane from Tokyo, or by trains and buses from Osaka or Kobe. Kochi, Ehime, and Kagawa are easily accessible by trains, buses or domestic flights within Japan. Japan has an excellent public transportation system and renting a car is also an option, however, keep in mind that driving is on the left side of the road.

Accommodation and Booking:
You can find a range of accommodations from budget guesthouses to luxury hotels in these provinces. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak travel seasons such as cherry blossom season or autumn colors season.

Clothing and Essentials:
Comfortable clothing according to the season is advised. Take a good pair of walking shoes, and an umbrella or raincoat as rain can be unpredictable. Also, don't forget your camera, power adapter (Japan uses Type A or B plugs), and any necessary personal medications.

Health and Safety:
Japan is widely recognized as a safe country with a low crime rate. However, it's always smart to keep an eye on your belongings and use common sense. No specific vaccines are required for Japan. If you have dietary restrictions, it may be helpful to carry a translated dietary requirement card to show at restaurants.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Japanese people are polite and respectful. It's important to respect their customs such as removing your shoes before entering a home or certain traditional places like temples. Talking loudly in public places is considered rude. If you visit temples or shrines, follow the etiquette such as cleaning your hands before praying.
