Start planning JapanItchy is grounded in your actual trip — dates, budget, and itinerary — plus general local knowledge like this, so you're not starting from a blank search bar.
Many passport holders (including the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia) can enter Japan visa-free for short tourist stays.
Rules vary by nationality and change over time — always confirm current requirements for your passport before booking.
Japanese Yen (¥). Japan is more cash-based than it looks — carry some, even in cities. IC cards like Suica or Pasmo cover trains, buses, and convenience stores.
Not customary, and can come across as confusing rather than generous. Good service is simply expected — it's already reflected in the price.
The rail network is the backbone of a Japan trip — Shinkansen (bullet trains) between cities, dense subway systems within Tokyo and Osaka. A JR Pass can be worth it for multi-city itineraries.
A few common bases for a first Japan trip — ask Itchy to build any of these into a full itinerary.
Ask for a day in Kyoto, and this is the kind of thing that lands in your itinerary — not just a list of ideas in a chat window.
Search, ask, and plan — all in one place, for a one-time $19.99. No subscription, no ads, no booking commission.
