Know before you go

Japan tips

Practical tips for Japan, from entry rules to what to eat. General guidance for a Philippine traveller — rules and prices change, so confirm the latest before you fly. Need a hand with the visa or tickets? Our team is glad to help.

Entry requirements

Tourist visa required

Philippine passport holders need a Japan short-stay tourist visa before travel — our ticketing desk can guide you through the documents. Passport valid for the whole stay. No vaccinations are required.

Money

Yen (¥); carry cash

Cards are widely accepted, but Japan still loves cash — keep some for small shops, shrines and buses. Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card for trains and convenience stores. Do NOT tip; it can cause confusion. Budget roughly ₱3,000–5,000 a day for meals and extras.

Weather & what to pack

Cool at Mt. Fuji; check your month

Tokyo is mild in spring and autumn, hot and humid in summer, and cold in winter; Mt. Fuji’s fifth station is always chilly and windy. Bring layers, a warm jacket for Fuji, comfy walking shoes and a compact umbrella.

Getting around

Trains run on time

Japan’s trains and subways are punctual and reach everything; tap in with a Suica or Pasmo card. Google Maps gives exact platforms and times. Your package includes airport transfers and coach transport on tour days.

Language

Japanese; some English

City signs are bilingual and staff are helpful, though spoken English is limited. Useful words: Konnichiwa (hello), Arigatō (thank you), Sumimasen (excuse me). Google Translate’s camera reads menus for you.

Culture & etiquette

Quiet and orderly

Keep phone calls off the trains, avoid eating while walking, queue neatly and take your rubbish with you. Remove shoes where indicated, bow slightly in greeting, and never tip — a little politeness is deeply appreciated.

Safety & health

Among the world’s safest

Crime is extremely low and lost items are often handed in. Tap water is safe to drink. Emergencies: police 110, ambulance and fire 119. Carry your passport, as it is your official ID while in Japan.

Connectivity

Pocket Wi-Fi or eSIM

Rent a pocket Wi-Fi or buy a Japan eSIM for reliable data; free Wi-Fi exists but is patchy. Handy apps: Google Maps, Google Translate, Japan Travel by Navitime, and your Suica in Apple or Google Wallet.

Must-see sights & food

Mt. Fuji, Shibuya, sushi

See Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi, Tokyo’s Sensō-ji temple, the Shibuya crossing and Yokohama’s bay. Eat sushi, ramen, tempura and okonomiyaki — and grab snacks from any convenience store.
