Most travelers from countries like Canada, the U.S., the UK, Australia, and EU nations don’t need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days). Just bring a valid passport! Always double-check with your local embassy before traveling.

Japan is amazing year-round, but spring (March–May) for cherry blossoms and autumn (October–November) for colorful leaves are especially popular. Summer is great for festivals, while winter is perfect for snow sports and hot springs.

Japan can fit most budgets! You’ll find everything from budget hostels and street food to luxury hotels and fine dining. Excel Trips keeps it affordable by including transport, stays, and experiences in our group tours.

Absolutely! Japan’s public transport is world-class—trains are fast, clean, and always on time. Excel Trips includes all transport in our tours, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

English is spoken in tourist spots and big cities, but not everywhere. Signs and train stations usually have English translations. Our local guides help bridge the gap and make your trip super smooth.

Everything! Must-tries include sushi, ramen, takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), tempura, and matcha desserts. Japanese food is super tasty, fresh, and usually very affordable.
