What it does
Travel Japan is the Japan National Tourism Organization’s visitor website. Regional guides, suggested itineraries, seasonal reading and practical transport information sit alongside accessibility, brochure and visitor-support resources.
Separate the journey into three decisions: where to go, how to move between places and what to do there. JNTO’s regional guides and itineraries address the first; its rail, bus and car-rental sections provide routes into the second.
For a first visit, use the first-time information before adding specialist interests such as architecture, food or traditional stays. The site has separate resources for accessibility and travelling with a disability, which are better starting points for particular requirements than a general highlights page. Brochures and tourist-information-centre links provide another way to continue the research. Keep seasonal reading tied to the dates you actually intend to travel.
