Japan has it all. It is a shame I was not able to explore more, but I’ll surely be back as often as I can.The food was superb, I cannot get enough of Japanese food. I wish to try the Nakasendo trail one day and I hope you guys from Travel Ladies can join me. :)
Posted: November 27, 2023Experienced: April, 2017The people were lovely and I felt much more safe there than where I currently live. The food was excellent and incredibly affordable with lots of vegan options as well, which I struggle to find in the country where I live. The only problem was the language barrier was mostly resolvable with Google Translate.
Posted: November 25, 2023I visited Japan in the autumn of 2018 and it was an amazing experience! I travelled with my partner at the time and I did part of the trip solo. I visited several major cities during my 3 week trip (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nikio, Takayama) and all of these cities are worth a visit if you have the time. Pubic transport is very efficient and probably the best way to travel around the country. If you plan to stay in Japan for more than a few days, getting the Shinkansen pass is a must. It is only available for tourists (not for Japanese residents) and it will allow you to get to different cities on the Shinkansen as many time as you want to during the duration that you have purchased (7 days, 14 days 21 days…). Food is also amazing and this include the food that you can get from the convenience stores (seven eleven, Lawson). During the solo part of my trip , I found the country very safe and the locals are very friendly and welcoming! Overall Japan is an amazing country to visit and I highly recommend it as a top solo destination!
Posted: November 19, 2023Japan is the only country I did a full solo trip in. I felt extremely safe. I did a day trip to Kyoto from Osaka and loved how close they were together. I also went to Hiroshima and was really moved by the museum about the a-bomb. There's also a cool floating shrine near the city. Also did Fukuoka and liked it.
Posted: October 3, 2023I was in Japan solo for two weeks and visited Tokyo, and Kamakura (the Great Buddha is definitely more impressive than the largest one in Nara). I also made a brief stop in Yokohama to see Chinatown, then went on to Nikko, Mount Fuji (a little trekking), Hakone, and the wonderful Kyoto. In between, half a day in Nara and an evening in Osaka. I felt very safe.
Posted: September 29, 2023I traveled solo to Japan and it was my first international solo destination. I fell in love with the country and the people. It is by far the safest and the most beautiful country I have ever seen. The people are extremely warm and even though they do not know English, they are always ready to help you.
Posted: September 27, 2023I visited Japan solo for 10 days and it was great. People are so friendly, easy to get around, and extremely safe. It was a birthday last minute decision and it was such a great trip. I flew into Tokyo, then took the train to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, back to Tokyo then went to Kamakura.
Posted: September 27, 2023I had a JR pass when I went to Japan and had the freedom to explore the country. The transportation system is very efficient. Google Maps works everywhere. I had no issue navigating. Japanese people are the nicest people and are always happy to help. Tokyo is incredible at night. I traveled solo and didn’t join any group tours during my time in Japan.
Posted: June 22, 2023Japan is amazing for solo travel. The people are amazing. They are so kind and so welcoming, and even though fluent English isn't common, especially outside of the major cities, the people will do their best to communicate with you. I always feel safe while traveling here - I feel safer walking the streets alone at 3 in the morning than I do walking the streets in my own hometown. Plus the country itself is so beautiful and has something for everyone. I cannot recommend traveling to Japan enough.
Posted: May 19, 2023I have travelled solo to Japan and I had a great time. The country is beautiful and safe. The public transportation system there is outstanding, extensive, and efficient. The English-speaking tourist offices in cities, usually in train stations, are very helpful.
Posted: May 1, 2023Japan is very safe. Lived there for 2 years, and walked and rode trains everywhere. In Okinawa, for one year, I drove, hiked, and swam all over the island, mostly alone. No hassles or issues from anyone.

I love meeting new people and can converse quite comfortably! I’m from Singapore and currently live in Kobe, Japan now for more than a year now and might say that I know Kobe better than most who live here 😄 I love exploring and discovering new places, and going for really long walks. Catching sunsets is definitely one of my favorite things to do. :)

I’m in a relationship and 31 so not into the big party scene but still wanting to meet friends and have a drink here and there! I am open to hostels just want to make sure it’s the right fit for me! Also any travel recommendations for Japan are welcome! I’ll be there for 2 weeks!
Posted: December 14, 2022I don't mean to be rude at all, just am wondering. For those who have visited Japan. Do Japanese speak English in general? I mean to foreigners. Any tips?
Posted: November 19, 2022Hotel suggestions for Japan? Traveling Tokyo (1 week) , Kyoto (4 days) and Osaka (4 days). Our group is 7 but we are breaking up lodging so my group is 3. looking for somewhere decently priced.
