Japan Travel Guide

Japan has long been on our Must-See list of countries and the first time we wanted to go there was in 2011. Sadly, less than two months before we were supposed to go there Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami which caused the Fukushima catastrophe. After waiting for several years, we fulfilled our dream and went.

Getting around in Japan, for somebody who cannot speak or read Japanese, has some challenges, but is doable. Japanese people are very friendly and polite, but many either don’t speak English or are too shy to speak English. Street addresses in Japan are not necessarily logical or in chronological order in Japan. Nevertheless, we found that google maps is reliable. So, for me, the time I took to prepare for this trip was significantly longer than normal. And it paid off. 

With this guide, we like to help you prepare for your trip so that you can make Memorable Moments on a relaxing vacation!
