Japan can be overwhelming and overcrowded, especially at high-season. Travelers in Japan often find themselves confused and lost, and so they miss so much of what this incredible country has to offer. These tips will help you cope better as a family, and save a lot of time, effort, ragged nerves, and frustration:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Book everything in advance-<\/strong>\u00a0Large parts of Japan are overcrowded a lot of the time, so many establishments are completely booked out. That extends to more than just the obvious hotels and flights, but also to museums (such as the Hayao Miyazgi\/Ghibli museum in Tokyo), other theme\/amusement parks, and trains.<\/p>\n

For trains, even if you a railway pass (which is highly recommended <\/a>to buy online before you even get to Japan), you should still book you place in advance. The general rule is that when you get to a new city, if you know how many days you’ll be there, go and book your place on the train to the next city that same day. If you don’t know how long you’ll stay, or where you’ll go to next, do it once you decide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Carry a few plastic bags with you-<\/strong> In Tokyo<\/a> there are no trash cans in the street, so travelers often find themselves with nowhere for their trash.<\/p>\n
