A focused prep guide for first-time travellers to Japan — the culture, etiquette, transport, money, and small daily habits that make the difference between visiting Japan and actually getting it.
Get notifiedSee featuresThe features that make Before You Go to Japan useful day-to-day.
The etiquette that matters in real-life situations — restaurants, onsen, train, convenience stores. Not encyclopaedic; just what you actually need so you blend in.
Train and bus mechanics: IC cards, JR Pass arithmetic, the right pass for your route, how to read a Tokyo station map without panic.
Money in Japan — when cash is essential, where cards work, how to get yen at decent rates, what to budget realistically.
Small daily habits — bowing depth, queueing precision, garbage discipline, voice volume. The stuff that signals you've thought about the country, not just visited it.
Built for the people who'll actually use it, not for tick-box procurement.
Designed for daily use, not enterprise checkbox compliance. The features that matter, none of the ones that don't.
