Discuss local guidingGetting here & getting around
Start with your arrival and departure cities. Then choose the most sensible connection for each part of the route.
Compare domestic flights with the full door-to-door journey. Airport transfers also need time.
Consider rail for city-to-city travel. Check the actual stations, passenger documents and available services.
Use local transfers for arrivals and day trips. Scenic areas may have their own shuttle arrangements.

Your questions, a little clearer
Check passport, entry and transit requirements for your nationality and itinerary before booking. Use the relevant official authorities for current requirements.
Choose the region and experience together: northern snow, city walks and garden visits follow different seasonal rhythms.
Compare rail between connected cities with flights for distant regions. Plan luggage, station transfers and local journeys together.
Plan a mix of payment options. Keep a cash back-up for smaller establishments and confirm card acceptance where it matters.
Save addresses in Japanese and agree meeting points clearly. Tell us where local guiding would add the most value.
