Suit of Armour, Prague, Czech Republic

The one thing we (Indians staying in Japan) love about this country is it’s cultural roots that are being passed on from generations and their young generation still holds the roots of their culture.
If you enjoy traveling, fine living, and luxury, then Japan is definitely a place you should consider visiting. The Land of the Rising Sun has the most extraordinary contrasts between ancient culture and luxurious life style. From traditional gardens to expensive accommodations, from spectacular historical landmarks to the famous shinkansen; Japan has it all.

These are few reasons we have penned down that make Japan a “must” for any travel enthusiast & why we fell in love with Japan -

1) Polite customer service

When in Japan, it’s almost unnerving how polite customer service is in Japan. The way they customize you order or guide you with the food menu or even bowing several times talking with you gives the feel of true culture they possess.

2) Feel safe all the time

Japan is one amongst those countries you feel safe walking back home after work or midnight parties. Tourist safety is something you need not worry in Japan.

3) Convenience of convenience stores

Convenience stores really are convenient in Japan. You can pay your bills, withdraw money, buy a freshly prepared lunch, and pick up emergency beauty supplies in less than five minutes. Don’t even get me started on their ice cream & coffee selection. In large cities, convenience stores are on basically every corner and in the countryside and are placed strategically.

4) Availability of vending machines

Japan has the highest vending machines per capita.

Walking out hot sweaty summer or chilling winter, the only things that comes to rescue is vending machines. The majority of these vending machines sell drinks (hot drinks in the winter; cold drinks in the summer) and sit in well-trafficked areas.

5) Efficient Public Transport for Tourists

being able to commute all around the city and country by train. We really appreciate the punctuality of trains in Japan. Localaites and Travelers travel mostly by local trains and the Shinkansen, and those trains are never late, not once! unless there is some weather or safety check.

5) Know Japan with no Japanese

Yes, you heard it right!! The world’s myth on traveling japan circles around one thing that you can’t travel Japan without the language but you can see all the sign boards around in English and above all, the information desks all have English speaking assistance. Some people may not be fluent, or may be shy at first, but you will soon notice that people’s friendliness and willingness to communicate fully compensate for the lack of fluency in English.

6) Budget Travel 

Though Japan is often perceived as an expensive travel destination, actually there are a wide variety of budget accommodation options, transportation passes and sightseeing discounts, which help to make Japan an affordable destination for even the most budget conscious traveler.

7) See the 4 Seasons of Japan

The Land of Japan is richly endowed with nature and has beautiful mountains, trees, rivers, lakes and seas, which show distinctive beauty in each season. In spring, trees begin to bud and cherry blossoms bloom. In summer it is hot and people enjoy water sports. In autumn, trees turn red and yellow, painting the mountains in autumn color. In winter snow falls so that sports such as skiing can be enjoyed.

8) Take a dip in Onsen

Onsen, or hot-springs, one of the blessings of nature, can be enjoyed throughout the year. Taking a bath at an onsen will be the most comforting experience for you. Japan’s unique natural beauty will give visitors an unforgettable experience. Just follow the bath procedure at the onsen location and come out as refreshed as you ready for another trip.
