First time in Japan?
Is Japan easy for first-time visitors?
Yes — Japan is one of the easiest countries for first-timers: safe, punctual and superbly signposted in English. The learning curve is mostly trains and etiquette, and our itineraries handle both. Start with the 7-day plan.
Can tourists see the JDM / Daikoku PA car scene?
Yes, but not on foot — Daikoku PA sits inside a highway interchange with no pedestrian access, and it can close without warning. The reliable way in is with locals: see our Daikoku PA guide or join the Daikoku JDM Night Tour.
How many days do I need in Japan?
Seven days covers Tokyo plus a Fuji or Kyoto side; fourteen days does the full Golden Route comfortably; twenty-one lets you add Hiroshima, Kanazawa and the countryside. Car enthusiasts: our 7-day JDM Golden Route is the sweet spot.
