Japan

Language

  • The official language in Japan is Japanese.

Time Zone

  • Japan is 15 hours ahead of our Salt Lake City mountain time.

Electricity

  • The power plug sockets used in Japan are Type A and Type B.

Climate

  • Western Japan has very hot and humid summers (with temperatures sometimes reaching 35 oC or above) and moderate cold winters. Okinawa and Amami have a subtropical oceanic climate. These areas have hot and humid summers (with temperatures rarely reaching 35 oC or above) and mild winters.

Health

  • Medical insurance is recommended when traveling to Japan but not required.

Tips

  • Tipping in Japan is not customary. Indeed, as stated in many Japan travel guide, attempting to tip staff can be offensive. If you do try and tip in Japan, you will find in most cases that the tip is politely refused as tipping is not part of the Japanese culture and not expected.

Currency

  • The legal currency in Japan is the Japanese Yen. 1 US dollar is equal to 149.544875 JPY.

Transportation

  • Japan has an extensive and efficient public transportation system. The JR Pass is a cost-effective option for tourists traveling across the country by train, especially the Shinkansen (bullet trains). Be sure to book seats in advance during peak seasons.

Cash vs. Credit Cards

  • While credit cards are increasingly accepted in larger cities and tourist spots, Japan is still largely a cash-based society, especially in smaller towns and local shops. ATMs in convenience stores like 7-Eleven or Japan Post are the best places to withdraw cash using international cards.

Etiquette

  • Politeness is important in Japan. Always greet people with a bow, and avoid speaking too loudly in public spaces. It's also important to remove your shoes when entering traditional homes, ryokans, and some temples.

Public Transportation Etiquette

  • When using public transportation, avoid talking on the phone and keep conversations quiet. Priority seats should be left for the elderly, pregnant women, and those with disabilities.

Safety

  • Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Petty crime is rare, and you’ll find that lost items are often returned. However, always exercise normal safety precautions.

Waste Disposal

  • Japan has a strict waste separation and recycling system, but public trash cans are scarce. Carry a small bag with you to store your trash until you find a proper disposal area.

Cultural Norms

  • It is considered rude to eat or drink while walking. Take the time to sit or stand in designated areas to enjoy food from street vendors or convenience stores.

Seasons and Packing

  • Japan’s climate varies by region and season. Summers can be very hot and humid, while winters in northern areas can be cold with heavy snowfall. Pack accordingly and check the weather forecast for your travel dates.

Hot Springs (Onsen) Etiquette

  • When visiting an onsen (hot spring), you must wash and rinse your body thoroughly before entering the communal bath. Tattoos may still be frowned upon in some places, so check if they allow tattooed visitors.

Business Hours

  • Most shops and businesses in Japan operate from 10 AM to 8 PM. Many tourist attractions, temples, and shrines close by 5 PM, so plan your activities accordingly.

Japan

What is a ryokan (Japanese-style inn)? What is a futon bed?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn featuring tatami (woven straw) flooring. Guests typically sleep on a futon, which is a padded mattress laid directly on the tatami floor. Some ryokan may offer Western-style beds upon request, but availability isn’t always guaranteed.

Are vegetarian or special meals available?

Yes, vegetarian and special dietary meals (including allergy-friendly options) can usually be arranged if requested in advance.

Where should I exchange currency?

You can exchange money at airports, hotels, and ATMs, but airports are often the most convenient option. If you plan to withdraw cash, ATMs at post offices and 7-Eleven stores are reliable choices. Be sure to check with your bank about any international fees before traveling.

Is the water safe to drink in Japan?

Yes, tap water in Japan is clean and safe to drink. Travel insurance is recommended however. You can check that here.

Can I enter an onsen (hot spring) wearing a swimsuit or towel?

No. Traditional onsen require guests to bathe nude—swimsuits and towels are not permitted in the water.

When is the best time of year to visit Japan?

Japan is a year-round destination, and the best time depends on your preferences. Each season offers something unique, so consider factors like weather, crowds, and seasonal events when planning your trip.

Is cherry blossom season worth it?

Yes! Cherry blossom (sakura) season—typically from late March to early April—is beautiful and culturally significant. However, it’s also one of the busiest and most crowded times to visit.

What about fall foliage?

Autumn is another stunning time to visit, with vibrant fall colors and slightly fewer crowds than spring. It has become increasingly popular in recent years.

Should I avoid the rainy season, summer, or winter?

Not necessarily. Traveling in the off-season can mean fewer crowds. Early summer brings rain, summer can be hot and humid but lively with festivals, and winter offers excellent skiing along with peaceful sightseeing opportunities.

What are some of Japan’s best destinations?

“Best” depends on your interests, but Japan offers a wide variety of experiences—from modern cities to historic towns and natural retreats.

What are some interesting places to visit?

Cities like Osaka are known for their vibrant food culture and friendly locals, while Kyoto offers rich history and tradition. Kanazawa is famous for preserved districts and fresh seafood, and Mount Koya provides a unique spiritual experience with temple stays.

Where can I enjoy art and design?

Tokyo is home to world-class museums and galleries. Art lovers should also consider Naoshima, an island known for contemporary art, and Onomichi, a creative coastal town with innovative design projects.

Do I need vaccinations to visit Japan?

No specific vaccinations are required for most travelers entering Japan.

Do I need a visa?

Many nationalities can enter Japan without a visa for short stays, while others will need to apply in advance. Check the requirements based on your country. You can check those requirements here.

Are credit cards widely accepted? Should I bring cash?

Major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, convenience stores, train stations, and many restaurants throughout Japan, but some smaller shops, local restaurants, temples, and rural businesses may still only accept cash. Many travelers also use reloadable IC cards like Suica or PASMO for trains, subways, vending machines, convenience stores, and small purchases. ATMs are widely available, especially at convenience stores and post offices, so it’s best to bring both a credit card and some yen for smaller purchases or cash-only locations. 

Can I use my cell phone in Japan?

It depends on your carrier. Check compatibility and roaming fees before traveling. Alternatives include renting a phone, buying a SIM card, or using a pocket Wi-Fi device—available at major airports.

Will traveling be difficult without speaking Japanese?

Not necessarily. English is commonly understood in major cities and tourist areas, and transportation systems often include English signage. Basic gestures and a few key phrases can go a long way.

When is peak travel season?

Peak periods include New Year (late December to early January), Golden Week (late April to early May), and the Obon holiday in mid-August. During these times, prices rise and accommodations fill quickly.

What is a JR Pass, and how does it work?

The JR Pass is a cost-effective rail pass for foreign visitors, allowing unlimited travel on most Japan Rail (JR) trains, including many high-speed Shinkansen lines (excluding Nozomi). Passes must be purchased before arriving in Japan and activated once you’re there.

Can I use my phone and internet easily?

Check with your carrier beforehand. Many travelers choose eSIMs, local SIM cards, or pocket Wi-Fi for reliable internet access during their stay.

What are the Manners and etiquette?

Respect and politeness are central to Japanese culture. Remove your shoes when entering homes or places with tatami flooring, bow as a greeting, and be punctual. Follow local customs like keeping quiet on public transport, avoiding eating while walking, and taking your trash with you, as bins are limited.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

- Jose Ruiz

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

Absolutely loved my travel experience to Paris with Evolution 35. Everything was meticulously planned and well organized. Our tour guide, Pedro, was the best. We will definitely be traveling with them again.

- Tammy Cooper

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
