About Japan Trip Info

What we cover

Japan Trip Info covers places to explore, food to try, festivals to experience and practical ways to travel around Japan. Start with our nine regional overviews, explore Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka by neighbourhood, or plan a slower stay in Hakone, Kusatsu, Kinosaki and Beppu. Our hotel and ryokan guides present a selected range of stays.

Research method

Our guides draw on information from tourism organisations, attractions, festival organisers and transport operators to explain places, local food, culture and ways to travel. For hotel and ryokan guides, we use hotel-operated pages to research bath types, room categories and arrival information. These are researched guides, not first-hand stay reviews.

Opening hours, event schedules, transport, room plans, prices and policies can change. Check the relevant official source before travelling, and confirm the intended booking with the hotel or seller.

Editorial illustrations

Selected guides use labelled AI-generated illustrations. They explain travel choices and do not depict specific hotels or their amenities.

Affiliate disclosure

Links labelled “Affiliate link” may earn Japan Trip Info a commission when an eligible booking is completed. Other booking links do not earn this site a commission. We do not guarantee the lowest price; the hotel’s own site is provided for comparison.
