About Japan for visitors

Japan attracts visitors seeking both ultra-modern cities and ancient temples — Tokyo's neon-lit districts, Kyoto's garden walks, and a countryside obsessed with seasonal perfection. The experience spans bullet trains, kaiseki dinners, and everything designed to make you comfortable as a foreigner.

Tokyo's Haneda (HND) and Kansai International (KIX) near Osaka dominate arrivals. Immigration runs like clockwork with English signage throughout; the main wait is usually the customs queue, especially if you've bought duty-free items.
