Overseas Visitors to Japan often mention that Japan is THE cleanest and safest country in the World. And we at Experience Japan Travel would tend to agree.
There is very limited crime and the majority of any lost and found items are returned to their owners. Even if there are no cars or lights, people will not Jay-walk!
Besides the cleanliness of Japan, Overseas Visitors will without fail mention that the Japanese are extremely kind and go out of their way to make sure you are not lost or see that you get on the right train.
Therefore, Japan is high on the list of countries you can visit where you don’t need to get stressed out, once you are here. But even so, Japan is country where Japanese is the predominant language spoken.
Sure, you may be able to book a hotel or an airflight to Japan through the internet.
Sure, you may like to decide on what do to once you arrive. However, reality is a little different.
Experience Japan Travel staff often see Overseas Visitors simply walking around in circles trying to find which is east, west, south or north.
We often see people walking around in crowded Tourist spots just following the Traveler in front.
We see people literally running for their Shinkansen (Bullet Train) with just seconds remaining simply because Tokyo Station is just overwhelming.
It is also heartbreaking when we see the teenagers of Families starting to become too tired of walking to that “not so well located” hotel which ends in a family fight on the street.
Of course, if this is your Travel Style, we are sure it can be most fulfilling.
However, a Holiday is meant to be experiencing a new culture with a little bit of relaxation on the way. We want everyone to enjoy this special country.
However, if you are wanting to search and experience deeper into Japan and its culture and history there are uncountable “other” locations to see. Most Overseas Visitors don’t realize these locations exist and end up participating in very commercial experience where there is not one Japanese person, but just travelers from abroad.
Experience Japan Travel want you to see the “must see” locations, but also have the chance to experience the “Real Japan”. We want to show you more!
Even if it isn’t Experience Japan Travel, it is highly recommended that people use a Travel Agent for your planning of a Japan Trip. After all, even if Japan is THE safest and friendliest country in the World, the Japanese people are not so confident in speaking English and Japanese is the predominant language.
Japan may be an island country and the size of California, or roughly the same size as Germany. However, the more local you go in Japan, the less people will be trying to converse in English. If you are wanting to access these authentic locations, you ideally should converse with a Travel Agent. Without connections, without pre bookings, there are many experiences or locations you cannot access.
In a “difficult to communicate in English” country like Japan, and if you are travelling without the help of a Travel Agent, it may be difficult to get the right treatment if you fall ill or are caught up in an accident.
Experience Japan Travel can respond and support when a problem like this occurs.
In the past, when a client had a dental problem in Hokkaido, Experience Japan Travel was able to support and find an English Speaking Dentist within an hour, even during the public holidays.
After a client fell and broke his hip, Experience Japan Travel was there to help with hospitalization, travel insurance advice, and even were translating with in the surgery room. Not to mention the aftercare for this client and the extra accommodation needed for his Wife.
When the hotel staff could not find an English Speaking clinic, Experience Japan Travel staff took a female client to an obstetrics and gynecology and translated by speaker in the next room.
A broken arm, swollen gums, and the lost items, Experience Japan Travel will support and respond when ever it is possible.
Make your Japan Trip as memorable and stress free as possible. When ever possible, it is highly recommended to use a Travel Agent.
