Travel Helpers for Japan

I'm Japanese & have lived in Tokyo.

If I have enough time , I can guide around Tokyo to you.
I'm an office worker......so enough time is important.

we are planning to travel to Japan for 2 month in July and August and looking for all helpful tips. What regions the best to visit this time of the year? What is the best way to book reasonably priced accommodations? It any free walking tours in the large cities in english? What is the best way to get to stay in the monastery and get to the not very touristy places?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

During the past few years of regular travel to Japan, we have seen and helped many tourists struggling with some of the travel basics, simply because Japan is a very unique country and sometimes presents the unexpected. We have also talked to many people who would love to travel to Japan, but are put off by perceived difficulties with language, transport logistics and thinking it is an expensive country to visit.

We spent a month travelling through this beautiful country and can give you tips on how to make every penny go further.

I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama 4 years and travel to Japan every year since 2008.

- Bar hopping info in Yokohama

Greetings! I've lived in Japan now for ten years and every day I find that there are new things to discover and appreciate about this amazing country. I've been to 30 of Japan's 47 prefectures and have visited over 60 hot springs, most of which I hope to feature in upcoming blog posts. If you're planning a trip to Japan, I'll be happy to share with you my recommendations and answer any questions you might have. Happy trip planning!

I have travel through Japan before

I have lived here for 3 years so I may or may not be helpful.

Have lived in Japan for 2 years. Can help with tips from Tokyo to Yakushima (southwestern Japan) and any where in between.

Spent over 3 months travelling around Japan, including Tokyo, Nagoya, Nara, Kyoto, Kobe,Hiroshima,Osaka, Nagano, Fuji. Spent alot of time in Tokyo so know the city very well and have alot of friends livign there so can offer any advice needed

was an exchange student in Japan (Gifu prefecture) for one year and travelled quite extensively throughout that period.

I can help you anything if I can about Kyoto. I'm Japanese and live in Kyoto.
I know about Kyoto very well.
If you have any questions, inquire me

considering that im from japan and have lived there for 15 yrs, i think i could help you with pretty much everything. ive been to most of the prefectures. there may be a few that i havent been to, but im pretty confident that i know a lot about the country. so dont hesitate to contact me.

I've lived in Nagoya for a year and done heaps of travelling, usually on a budget. Don't waste any of your holiday time in Nagoya but ask me about off the beaten track places and how to get discount tickets!

Spent several weeks travelling across Japan in October 2006. Fascinated by the country!

I live in Tokyo so I can give you up-to-date information on places to visit and fun things to do in Tokyo. This includes bars, clubs etc. I can also give tips on how to hitch-hike in Japan which will make your trip far more enjoyable and cheaper!! I'm pretty experienced in hitch-hiking!!

I am currently living in Japan and have been here for six years. I am most familiar with the Kansai area but have done a lot of traveling around Japan, including Okayama, Hiroshima, Okinawa, Gifu, Nagano, Wakayama and Mie prefectures. I am happy to help out with travel advice or if you have any general questions about Japan.

I was an exchange student. Japan is a country where foreigners are still called Gaijin (literally person from the outside) so culture shock can be unbelievable for even the most outgoing students. However, the Japanese people are the warmest and most appreciative to those same "outsiders" who make any effort to cultivate a learning for their culture. There are still people in the country who have never met or seen a real live white person, but if you speak even a tinge of the language, they will invite you into their homes and treat you like royalty. I would be happy to share my experience or give any advice...:)

If you have any questions about life in Japan or about Japanese culture, I might be able to help!

All things Shizuoka (eels, melons, tea, Fuji Q roller coasters, blowfish...), fun things to do in Kyoto, going to school in Japan, and getting around Japan with minimal hair pulling. I've also been studying Japanese for about 4 years so I can give some language/culture pointers for foreigners abroad.

I have lived in Japan for more than eighteen years (as of 2007).
I have lived in Tokyo, Nagoya; Okazaki (historical 'suburban' city in Aichi-ken); In Hikone (small town), located near famous Lake Biwa; and now in the deep countryside--so I have experienced many different facets of daily life in Japan.
If you have any questions, I may be able to offer some ideas. Thanks--and bon voyage!
