Japan: The Ultimate Two-Week First Trip
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Japan is a country of beautiful contrasts — neon megacities minutes from ancient shrines, and bullet trains gliding past snow-capped peaks.
The golden route
Dazzling Tokyo, the temples and bamboo groves of Kyoto, and food-mad Osaka — linked by the effortless shinkansen.
Good to know
Buy a Japan Rail Pass before you fly, carry an IC transit card and some cash, and slow down — Japan rewards a deeper, calmer trip.
