Independent Travel
Japan isn’t inherently difficult in terms of infrastructure, transport, accommodation, precautions, or general organisation. However, it’s true that the country can be quite "disorienting", especially culturally, for Western tourists visiting the region for the first time. In short, as an independent destination, it’s best suited to beginner or slightly experienced travellers.
