Blogs about Japan travel

I’ve been to Japan twice, and I loved every experience.

But, I wished I read about blogs about Japan travel before going.

Even when I went a second time, I was still learning new things.

Luckily, some bloggers and businesses provide all you need to know about the “land of the rising sun.“

JR Railpass Blog

The JR Pass Blog has valuable information for people going to Japan. For example, it talks about finding cheap flights and avoiding rush hour, which is a must-read before going to Japan.

JR Railpass is also where we bought our train tickets. Now, you can buy this before you travel, or you can buy it once you land. But, I recommend booking beforehand just in case you miss out.

Why buy JR Railpass? 

Well, the train is the main transport in Japan. There are taxis, but they can burn a hole in your budget. 

But I’m sure other bloggers will tell you all about them. So, I shouldn’t spoil it for you.
