a0150_000002 a0006_002413

Buying one of these cards will save you a large amount of time and hassles.

Most visitors here would agree that the one of the first things they have struggles with is buying tickets for public transport.

Most people use public transport to get around as having a car is considered a luxury in Japan due to the costs associated with vehicle ownership.

Buying yourself a Suica or Pasmo card will save you a significant amount of money travelling around Tokyo, as well as time and stress in buying your tickets.

You can purchase one of these cards for 500 yen from any train station.

It is relatively straightforward to purchase these after clicking on the English button on the top right hand corner of the screen.

You can charge these cards with a minimum of 500 yen credit.

For more information in relation to these very handy travel cards in Japan, click here and visit the JR Suica website. Alternatively, visit the Pasmo website, click here.

Looking to relax and unwind in Japan?

Most people visiting Japan think that Japan is a concrete jungle. However, Japan actually has a wide variety of things to do and see if you are a nature lover.

Here are 3 places to check out if you’re looking to relax and unwind near Tokyo for all those nature lovers out there!

1.

Why not visit Gankoyama Tree House Village and try out Village Housing in Japan! Located in southern Boso, Chiba, this was actually one of the first tree house villages in Japan, dating back to 1998! It’s perfect if you would like to learn a little about how the locals in Japan live their eco-friendly lifestyle. Not only will you be able to unwind, and as they say ‘co-exist with nature’, you will also be able to have some fun along the way.

For more information, visit their website at: http://www.gankoyama.com/

2.

Try the historically lovely area of Karuizawa. Known to many of the locals as Japan’s premier resort area, Karuizawa is best to visit during summer time. Fun fact for you, John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, used to take their family along to Karuizawa every summer so it has to a destination to try out! In particular, they would visit a particular bakery while on vacation. For more information, visit http://www.french-bakery.jp/ One of Japan’s most premier resorts is also located in Karuizawa called Hoshino Resorts.
