Must try: Ramen (Tonkotsu, Shoyu, Miso), Sushi and Sashimi, Okonomiyaki (Savory cabbage pancake), Takoyaki (Octopus balls), Wagyu Beef, Matcha everything

Slurping your noodles is not rude; it actually shows the chef you are enjoying the meal and helps cool the broth. And again, absolutely no tipping.

FAQs

Is the JR Pass still worth it for Indian travelers?
Honestly, no. After the 70% price hike in October 2023, it rarely pays off unless you are taking a bullet train every single day. Buy point-to-point tickets or look into regional passes instead.
Can I survive in Japan as a strict vegetarian?
It’s tough but doable. The biggest enemy is 'dashi' (fish stock), which is sneakily in everything, including miso soup and soy sauce. Download the HappyCow app, learn the phrase 'Watashi wa bejitarian desu' (I am vegetarian), and rely on Indian restaurants, Buddhist temple food (Shojin Ryori), and convenience store egg/plum onigiris.
Do I need to know Japanese to get around?
In Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, English signage is everywhere. However, locals don't speak much English. Google Translate (camera feature) is your best friend for menus and signs.
Are tattoos really banned in Japan?
Yes, mostly. Tattoos are historically associated with the Yakuza. If you have them, you will likely be turned away from public onsens (hot springs), pools, and some gyms. Look for 'tattoo-friendly' onsens or book a private bath (kashikiri).
How much walking is actually involved?
A lot. Expect to walk 15,000 to 25,000 steps a day. Public transport is great, but stations are massive. Leave the fancy heels at home; pack your absolute best, broken-in walking shoes.
Where are all the public dustbins?
There aren't any. Following the 1995 sarin gas attacks, bins were removed. You are expected to carry your trash with you and dispose of it at your hotel or at convenience stores.
Should I carry cash or rely on cards?
Japan is rapidly digitizing, and cards/Apple Pay work in most city stores, but cash is still king for street food, small ramen shops, temples, and rural areas. Always carry around 10,000-20,000 Yen in cash.
Is Japan too expensive for Indian budget travelers?
It's cheaper than Europe or the US right now due to the weak Yen. If you eat at konbinis (7-Eleven/Lawson), stay in hostels or capsule hotels, and avoid the Shinkansen, you can easily survive on ₹5,000-₹6,000 a day.
