Paris-Osaka en train + ferry et visas English translation pending
Tout d'abord, bonjours a tous!
j'ai trouvé ce forum en cherchant des prix interressant pour faire Paris Tokyo en avion, et voila qu'avec tous vos récits de voyages vous m'avez donné envie de me lancer pour la grande aventure! je compte partir cet été de Paris, rejoindre Moscou en bus (via eurolines), prendre le transsiberien puis le transmogolien direction Beijin, Shangai puis prendre le ferry jusqu'a Osaka...je compte faire quelques escales au lac Baikal, à UB, et prendre le temps de visiter un peu la Chine...
comme c'est la première fois que je me lance dans une telle expédition, je suis un peu perdu au niveau des visas, mais surtout je ne me rend pas bien compte du temps ni de l'argent (or billets de train) nécessaire pour réaliser ce voyage.
j'ai lu que l'été n'était pas la meilleure période pour prendre le transsib sans réserver au préalable (bcp de passagers), mais j'avais dans l'idée d'acheter mon billet directement à la gare centrale en arrivant a Moscou...ca vous parait faisable ou c'est de la folie? 🤪 .En plus, la plupart des sites de réservation ne proposent pas la classe platskartny...(sauf les sites en russe mais là je suis complètement paumé 😕 ).
j'aimerai bien boucler les préparatifs (visas + billets) d'ici la fin du mois mais ca me semble un peu cho..
si vous avez des infos ou des suggestions n'hesitez pas a m'en faire part, cela pourrait m'ôter certains doutes de la tête...🙂

Sud du Japon et Corée du Sud en avril 2006 English translation pending
Salut,
Je me suis décidé à retourner au Japon en avril 2006. Et comme je connais deja Hokkaido, Tokyo, Kyoto et les environs, je me suis dis que je pourrais faire une autre partie du Japon ... en l'occurence le Sud. Et comme la Corée du Sud c'est pas loin, pourquoi ne pas rajouter ce pays au programme.
Voici les choses qui m'interessent actuellement: retourner à Tokyo quelques jours passer dire bonjour a mon frere qui travaille près de Nara Hiroshima-Miyajima Shikoku Kyushu pourquoi pas Okinawa Corée du Sud (la je sais pas encore trop quoi faire)
Malheureusement je ne disposerai "que" de 21 jours, et je ne pourrai pas tout faire. Et c'est aussi un peu le casse-tête pour trouver un itinéraire correct (un bon ordre des choses en fait). Seule quasi certitude, je prendrai le ferry ou le beetle entre Fukuoka et Busan. Je me pose aussi l'intérêt du JR pass, du japan air pass, du korean pass ...
Je voulais savoir si des gens parmi vous avaient fait ce genre de voyage. Qu'est ce que vous me conseillez: 1) a voire 2) quel itinéraire pour voire le maximum de chose (mais sans faire du tourisme a la japonaise :-) )
Merci d'avance

Bonjour
L'année dernière je suis parti 3 semaines au Japon. J'ai visité Hokkaido, Tokyo, Nikko, Kyoto et ses environs, Himeji et Okayama. J'aimerais y retourner l'année prochaine, et faire Tokyo et le sud du Japon. Ensuite je voudrais passer kks jours en Corée. C'est un projet qui n'est pour l'instant qu'à l'état d'ébauche. Je recherche actuellement des bons plans pour le transport. En effet je recherche une bonne solution pour trouver un billet d'avion le moins cher possible avec comme trajets: une ville de France (strasbourg de préférence) comme départ, arrivée a Tokyo, puis une ville du Japon (par ex Fukuoka) - Séoul, puis Séoul Paris. Donc 3 voyages. Mais je ne sais pas du tout ou me renseigner pour trouver un tel billet pas cher. Peut-être existe-t-il une meilleure solution?

Bonjour les voyageurs,
Où puis-je trouver des billets d'avion pas chers pour un A/R Tokyo-Séoul ? Une amie japonaise me parle 200-300 EUR le billet. Ca me parait exhorbitant pour une si petite distance. N'existe-t-il pas l'équivalent de nos charters européens ?

Chine: Problème billet retour / immigration? English translation pending
Bonjour.
J'ai donc prévu d'aller en chine fin novembre, puis de rebondir aussitot voir mon fréro à Tokyo. Je vais donc prendre un AR : Paris->Pekin Tokyo->Paris
Par contre, Impossible de trouver sur internet des billets raisonnables Pekin->Tokyo (pour le 6decembre). J'ai donc contacté une agence (ctrip) chinoise qui me le fait à pas cher du tout (meme vol pour 178€ au lieu de 455€). Par contre ils n'envoient pas les tickets par la poste ! :( (à retirer sur place)
Questions : 1) L'immigration chinoise vont-il me laisser passer sans billet retour pekin->paris avec uniquement un Tokyo->Paris (pas sur du tout çà) 2) Si tel n'est pas le cas, une confirmation (email de l'agence) peut-il faire l'affaire ? (à défaut de vrais tickets)
Merci de votre conseil :)

Planning summer 2026 fireworks in Japan
I’m traveling to Japan with a young adult with autism (ASD) from July 28 to August 8, following a pretty classic route: Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I’m looking for a schedule of the most spectacular fireworks displays during that time. So far, the dates for the major *hanabi* events aren’t available online yet. If anyone has them, I’d really appreciate it if you could share!
Tips for a one-month solo trip itinerary in Japan?
Hi everyone, I’m Julien!
This summer, from late June to late July, I’m planning a one-month solo trip to Japan—my first time!
I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on the itinerary I’ve put together to explore this amazing country.
Here are the routes I’m considering:
**Option 1: More mountain and nature-focused**
Tokyo: 8 nights, with day trips to Nikko and maybe the Izu Peninsula Kawaguchiko (Lake Kawaguchi/Mt. Fuji): 1 night. The place looks stunning, but I’m worried Mt. Fuji might not be visible due to the weather Kyoto: 6–7 nights (including a trip to Nara) Osaka: 1–2 nights, where I’d like to drop off my things to make the Kumano Kodo easier Kumano Kodo: 3 nights—an experience I haven’t seen much elsewhere, but I thought it sounded really interesting Hiroshima: 2 nights Miyajima: 1 night Takayama: 3 days Kanazawa: 3 days (From what I understand, the Osaka–Takayama–Kanazawa–Tokyo route is convenient for transport) Tokyo: 1 night (return)
**Option 2: More varied but a bit vague in parts**
Tokyo: 8 nights Kyoto: 7 nights (+ Nara) Osaka: 2 nights Kobe + Himeji: just passing through—I’m not sure if it’s worth a night Naoshima: 1 night—still pretty unclear for me Takamatsu: 2 nights. An interesting city, but I’m not sure how long to stay Shimanami Kaido: biking from Imabari to Onomichi, then heading to Hiroshima Hiroshima: 2 nights Miyajima: 1 night Kyushu road trip (Aso + onsens + Fukuoka): 5 nights (also pretty vague—I could fly from Fukuoka back to Tokyo) Tokyo: 1 night
**Option 3: More balanced/simplified**
Tokyo: 8 nights Kawaguchiko: 1 night Kyoto: 7 nights (+ Nara) Osaka: 2 nights Koya-san: 1 night Kumano Kodo: 3 nights Takayama: 3 nights Kanazawa: 3 nights Tokyo: 1 night
A few key points: I haven’t made any reservations yet, except for the flight tickets. I know my plans are too packed and will need to be adjusted. I’m specifically looking for advice on which stops to cut or shorten.

Buying Train Tickets in Japan from Canada
Hi there,
I’ll be traveling to Japan this coming August. We’ve finalized our itinerary and booked our flight tickets. Now I’m at the stage of buying train tickets for the few segments we’ll need to cover:
Tokyo - Hakone
Hakone - Kyoto
Kyoto - Osaka
Osaka - Tokyo
Here are my questions:
a) Is it possible to buy train tickets for these segments from Canada?
b) If so, which website should I use to do this?
c) And if it is possible, will we be able to print our tickets from Canada?
d) If it’s not possible, where in Tokyo should I go to buy these tickets when I arrive?
Thanks a bunch,
Mario Séguin Québec, Canada

Undecided on 19-day Japan itinerary including Kyoto
I'm planning a 19-day itinerary in Japan this summer.
For a first trip, Kyoto seems like a must. For the rest, I'm torn between:
- Matsumoto, Takayama, Kanazawa for 5 to 6 days
- Kyoto 4 days
- Nara 2 days
- Koyasan 1 day
- Hakone/Mount Fuji 2 to 3 days
- Tokyo 3 days
Or dedicating the first 6 days to Kyushu.
Maybe there’s less traditional Japan in Kyushu compared to the Japanese Alps? Maybe Kyushu is less crowded? Thanks for your thoughts!

Flight ticket prices for Japan in autumn
Hi,
I was thinking of going to Japan in October, but the prices are currently insane—direct flights from Paris to Tokyo are around 1600-1800 €! Is it always like this, or is it just because I’m planning too far ahead? Thanks
Different departure and arrival cities in Japan
Hi,
I’m planning a 20-day family trip to Japan in June 2026.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on arriving in Tokyo and departing from Osaka (or vice versa)—not using the same airport for arrival and departure.
I’m convinced it’s much more comfortable and avoids retracing our steps by train across Japan, but I get the feeling flight costs skyrocket.
Thanks for your input! :)
Best regards,
Joelle

Itinerary for Major Asian Capitals
Hi there,
We’re thinking of spending 3 weeks in Asia this fall to visit some of the major capitals on this vast continent. We’d like to get a (very rough) sense of just how fast Asia is moving compared to what we see in the West (we’re from Quebec). For now, our very preliminary list includes Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore. There are obviously plenty of other options—Seoul, Shanghai, etc.
What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Kyoto and Osaka Itinerary for a First Trip to Japan
hi everyone, and first of all, I wish you all a happy new year and good health!
This coming October or November, we’re planning our first trip to Japan. The only downside is we’ll only have two weeks off.
For this first visit, I’m thinking of sticking to the Kyoto and Osaka area… saving Tokyo for another trip. Do you think that’s a good choice for a first-time visit?
I’ve put together a little itinerary below to get some feedback from those in the know. I’m only counting the days we’re actually there, not travel days.
Day 1: Kyoto Ginkaku-ji – Philosopher’s Path with stops at a few shrines temples Eikan-dō and Nanzen-ji visit to the Samurai Ninja Museum in the late afternoon
Day 2: Kyoto Fushimi Inari (allow 4 hours for the hike through the park) visit to Sanjūsangen-dō temple Shōseien garden participate in a tea ceremony
Day 3: Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera temple stroll through the historic district up to Kennin-ji temple visit Kennin-ji temple Yasaka-jinja shrine and Gion district in the late afternoon return to the hotel via Pontochō Street
Day 4: Kyoto visit Kinkaku-ji and Nijō Castle visit the Imperial Palace gardens end the day in the shopping streets (Shibkyogoku and Teramachi, among others)
Day 5: Kyoto Arashiyama area Togetsukyo Bridge, walk along the river, visit the Bamboo Forest explore the area up to Otagi Nenbutsu-ji temple
Day 6: Kyoto hike from Kibune to Kurama
Day 7: Kyoto day trip to Nara (full day)
Day 8: stroll around Kyoto before heading to Osaka
Day 9: Osaka Katsuo-ji temple, then head to Minoh Falls and hike back via the Minoh Trail end the day in the Osaka Castle area
Day 10: Osaka Himeji Castle and an afternoon in Osaka
Day 11: Osaka Osaka and return to the airport in the late afternoon for the flight home
Do you think this itinerary is doable? Are some days too relaxed or too packed? I was thinking of adding a trip to Lake Biwa and Uji, but in that case, I’d have to cut some things. Are those places worth dropping some of the planned spots? And if so, which ones would you recommend cutting or shortening?
Thanks in advance—I’m all ears for both positive and negative feedback! stephane

Three beautiful weeks during the Japanese autumn
I’m sharing our three-week trip to Japan from late October to mid-November 2025. There were four of us—my partner and a couple of friends.
I’ve traveled often with my friend Christian (Bolivia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Namibia, Laos), but this time our partners joined us.
The rough itinerary:
Arrival in Tokyo. Visiting Shinjuku/Shibuya districts + day trip to Kamakura
5 days in the Japanese Alps, from Matsumoto to Kanazawa (via Kamikochi, Hirayu Onsen, and Takayama)
5 days in Kyoto
Nara, Osaka, Koyasan
Return to Tokyo (Asakusa district), with a day trip to Nikko
We booked our flights well in advance (9 months ahead): the flight cost 1086 € per person. Compared to over 2000 € if we’d booked for the same dates just 3 months prior.
For accommodations, we mostly used Booking.com. The onsen was booked via Japanican, and in Kyoto, we stayed in an Airbnb.
We also made 5 train reservations a month in advance on Klook or directly on the train’s website.
Day 1: Departure from Brussels (October 24, 2025) Early morning takeoff at 6 AM to Munich (1.5-hour layover) with Lufthansa, then a 12-hour flight with ANA, arriving the next morning at 7 AM at Tokyo Haneda.
Day 2: Arrival in Tokyo Airport formalities were quick. The eSIM we bought before leaving activated as soon as we landed (10 GB plan with Saily—more than enough for our mobile internet needs, mainly Google Maps and Google Translate). We’d received 4 ICOCA cards from our neighbors, which we loaded with 15000 ¥ each. We took the Keihin train, then the Yamanote Line. It’s easy to navigate since everything is in English, and each station is announced on scrolling displays in English too.
We got off the Yamanote Line at the station just after Shinjuku because it’s easier to exit that massive station with our luggage. So we ended up in Shin-Okubo, right in the Korean district. A 10-minute walk took us to Villa Fontaine Hotel. A great hotel, well-located north of the Kabukichō district. The room even seemed bigger than we’d expected.
It was 15°C, but it rained—and kept raining on and off all day. Belgian weather, basically.
We went for a walk in Shinjuku Gyoen Park. Not as pretty in the rain, but the big greenhouse was interesting.

Then our first ramen (hearty and for 1000 ¥—pretty much the price of all our ramen during the trip). We headed back to the hotel since check-in was after 3 PM. Shower and relax before going out for dinner. Dinner was barbecue at Shichirin Yakiniku Anan (1700 ¥ each—good and cheap). Ordering via tablet wasn’t easy, but luckily it was in English.
We ended the evening with a stroll through Kabukichō before a well-deserved sleep.

Off-the-beaten-path itinerary for our second trip to Japan
Hi there! After a wonderful trip in 2024, we’ll be heading back to Japan at the end of July 2026 to reunite with our daughter, who will have been there for a few months.
Last time, we did a route: Tokyo – Japanese Alps – Kyoto – Osaka – Hiroshima. This time, we’ll have 10 days to ourselves before our daughter joins us for a full week. We’re thinking of spending 2 days in Tokyo and 1 day at the end of the trip for shopping.
We’re looking for ideas for a route (by train and bus) that’s a little off the beaten path, especially avoiding the most touristy spots like the best-known temples in Kyoto. Our favorite spots in 2024: Kanazawa, Takayama, and Miyajima Island. We love temples, gardens, and would love to explore the nature, which looks incredible.
Thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions!

Where can I find the best views of Mount Fuji?
Hi there,
We’ll be doing a self-drive trip using public transport in May 2026.
On Day 6, we’ll arrive in Hakone by train from Tokyo in late morning. We’ll spend the night in Hakone before heading to Kyoto.
The main goal of this stop is clearly the view (no hiking) of Mount Fuji, not so much exploring Hakone, where the sights seem limited. I’ve read on the forum that the view is great from Gotemba, but it also takes a good hour by bus to get there. And, apart from that view, there’s nothing else to see in Gotemba!
So, I’m not sure what to choose. Any thoughts? Or alternatives to suggest? Maybe some spots in Hakone or Gotemba for a great view?
Thanks in advance.
We’ll be doing a self-drive trip using public transport in May 2026.

Looking for feedback on Southeast Asia road trip itinerary
Hey everyone,
I’m planning a road trip through Southeast Asia with my girlfriend starting in mid-January 2026, and I’m torn between two possible itineraries.
The goal of the trip is to explore the region before catching a flight to Tokyo at the end. The main difference between my two options is the order in which I’d visit Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.
👉 Itinerary A: Paris > Thailand (Chiang Mai) > Southern Thailand > Malaysia > Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap in Cambodia > Cambodia > Southern to Northern Vietnam > Flight to Tokyo

👉 Itinerary B: Paris > Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) > Southern Thailand and Bangkok > Cambodia > Southern to Northern Vietnam > Flight from Hanoi to Vientiane (Laos) > Laos > Northern Thailand > Flight from Bangkok to Tokyo

Initially, I thought about doing Malaysia > Thailand > Laos > Vietnam > Cambodia, but after looking into it, it’s tricky to get to Tokyo from Cambodia—there’s no direct flight.
My questions: - Which of these itineraries seems the most logical/smooth in terms of transportation? - Which one do you think offers the best overall experience? - Do you have any other route suggestions or visit orders?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! 🙏

Second trip to Japan: what itinerary for July-August?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning another trip to Japan next July-August (three and a half to four weeks). We were lucky enough to visit the country back in 2012 and explored Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, and Miyajima Island.
This time, we’d like to spend a few days in Tokyo again and then discover other regions and cities. I really want to see Himeji Castle and Naoshima Island, but I haven’t decided on the rest yet.
Since we’ll be in Japan mostly in July (three weeks) and a bit in August (first week), I’m also thinking about the weather, which seems more favorable in the north (northern Honshu and Hokkaido), though the south (Shikoku, Kyushu) is tempting too.
I’d love to hear your advice on an itinerary, keeping in mind that we love variety—some history, temples, nature, and big cities.

Digital nomads: Bangkok tops destinations for 2025
According to a recent study, Bangkok ranks first among the top 100 global destinations for remote workers in 2025. The Thai capital stands out for its excellent value for money, solid infrastructure, and high satisfaction levels among digital nomads.
Dubai, London, Tokyo, and Nakhon Ratchasima (in Thailand) complete the top 5, each catering to different priorities (safety, connectivity, cultural vibrancy). The study also highlights the cost-of-living gaps between cities: from Weligama (Sri Lanka), very affordable, to New York, the most expensive.
Social media engagement and visitor return rates are also becoming key indicators for assessing a destination’s appeal to nomads.

Tips for my second Japan trip itinerary
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to return to Japan for 15 days in April. This will be my second trip there. I’m starting to think about my itinerary.
I arrive in Tokyo in the evening and will spend one night there before taking the train to Hiroshima. I’ll stay in Hiroshima for 2 nights. Then, I’m heading to Kyoto (there are still so many beautiful things I want to see there), and I think I’ll stay for 3 nights. I also want to go back to Nara to visit the Pink Temple (probably in the morning before heading back to Kyoto).
And after that? I’d like to return to Hakone to try and catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji (I didn’t see it last time—it was cloudy). I’m thinking of staying one night there, probably in Odawara.
And then? I’ll head back to Tokyo and take the train to explore the surrounding areas and spend the day at some sites?
While in Tokyo, I want to visit Yokohama. I went to Kamakura last time and really loved it, but I don’t think I’ll go back.
I’ll end my trip in Tokyo, with my second-to-last night at the Muji Hotel and my last night near the airport.
That’s the plan so far—I’m open to your suggestions and itinerary tips!
Thanks in advance.

Car rental in Fukuoka and Okinawa
Hello,
My wife and I are spending July in Japan: 10 days touring Kyushu Island, 5 days in Okinawa, 1 day in Osaka (for the World Expo), 3 days in Kyoto (which we’ve already visited), and the rest in Tokyo.
I’m reaching out to see if you have any car rental agencies to recommend in Fukuoka (ideally at the airport) and in Naha (either in the city or at the airport).
Thanks in advance!
Jean Claude
