Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Japan

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Japan?

    A week in Japan is a whirlwind, so focus on one or two regions. For a classic itinerary, spend a few days in Tokyo, exploring iconic sites like the Sensō-ji Temple, the Meiji Jingu Shrine, and the Imperial Palace East Garden. Then, take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto, visiting Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine with its thousands of red gates, Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Consider a day trip to Nara to see the friendly wild deer in Nara Park. This balances city exploration with cultural immersion.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Japan?

    Among the short term rentals in Japan, One Room Guest House Bivot 3, Marubeni Hongawa Building 402 602 801 and Longvacation Okinawa 307 are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Japan?

    A month allows for a more in-depth exploration. Start with Tokyo and Kyoto as above, but add more time to explore their diverse neighbourhoods. Then, branch out. Consider visiting Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, a poignant reminder of history. Explore the ancient castles of Himeji and Osaka. Head north to experience the natural beauty of Hakone, with its views of Mount Fuji and volcanic hot springs, or further north to explore the Tohoku region's stunning scenery and onsen (hot springs). For a different pace, explore the charming streets of Kanazawa or explore the unique culture of Okinawa.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan?

    Churaumi Terrace, Give Higashi Nakano and Scallop Beach Condominium are the best short term rentals with a pool in Japan.

  • What currency is used in Japan, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Japanese yen (JPY) is the currency. ATMs are readily available, especially in cities and tourist areas. Most ATMs in convenience stores like 7-Eleven and FamilyMart accept international cards, though some may charge fees. Seven Bank ATMs are particularly convenient for international cards.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Japan?

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in Japan?

    Kamakura, with its iconic Great Buddha statue and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, offers a blend of history and coastal beauty. Hakone provides stunning views of Mount Fuji and opportunities for hiking and onsen relaxation. Kanazawa, a city rich in culture and history, boasts well-preserved samurai districts and beautiful Kenrokuen Garden. These locations offer a charming escape from the larger cities.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan?

    The best short term rentals for families and kids in Japan are Viale Jurakumawari, Ten Apartment Hotel and Teioh Nishi Shinsaibashi.

  • Which areas in Japan are best for an extended stay?

    Kyoto is excellent for its rich culture and history, offering numerous temples, gardens, and traditional crafts. The countryside areas of Tohoku and Kyushu offer a slower pace of life, stunning natural scenery, and opportunities for hiking and onsen experiences. Okinawa, with its subtropical climate and unique culture, is also a good option for a longer stay.
  • Is Japan safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Japan is generally considered very safe for solo travellers, including women. However, standard precautions like being aware of your surroundings and avoiding walking alone in poorly lit areas at night should still be observed, as in any country.
  • Which region of Japan is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The Kansai region, encompassing Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, enjoys a relatively mild climate throughout the year, although it can be hot and humid in summer. The southern island of Kyushu also offers pleasant weather for much of the year, with warmer temperatures than the mainland.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Japan?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. They will issue a report, which is necessary to obtain a replacement passport from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate as soon as possible to begin the process of obtaining a replacement passport.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Japan special?

    Japan boasts many festivals. Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in spring is a nationwide celebration. Summer festivals, such as the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, feature elaborate floats and processions. Autumn brings the beautiful koyo (autumn leaves) and various harvest festivals. Winter sees the illumination of temples and shrines, creating magical atmospheres. Many smaller, local festivals also take place throughout the year.
