Culture and customs.
Japan is a multifaceted country made up of many different cultures, rituals, and traditions influenced by Confucianism (introduced in AD285), Buddhism (introduced in AD552), and Shintoism (Japan’s ritualistic native religion). The rise of technology and international trendsetting has also played a part in the culture of Japan today as the younger generation embraces fashion-forwardness, online personas, and high-tech gadgets.
This is in direct contrast to the Confucian-influenced, old-school Japanese culture that the older generations still live by, with a larger emphasis on modesty, respect, and discipline. This can sometimes cause conflict between the two demographics, however, there are still some traditions that are considered sacred regardless of age – tea ceremonies, bowing, kendo, geisha, and sumo.
Visit ancient temples and walk history-laden pilgrim routes on our 8 day Koya-san & Kumano Trek.
History and government
Japan has had an interesting past with its ancient history, pre-modern history, and 20th-century history all influencing the country we all know and love today.
Ancient history
While there is evidence the archipelago has been occupied by humans for around 35,000 years, what we know now as ‘Japan’ began to take shape about 1700 years ago as disparate tribes started to unify.
Pre-modern history
Over the centuries, Japan has alternated between feudal, empirical, religious and government rule, with each period birthing different styles of art, architecture and spirituality. Buddhism and Confucianism, introduced in 552 BC and AD 285, respectively, both proved massively influential on the class structures and governance of pre-modern Japan. You can still visit and stay in many Buddhist temples in Japan today.
20th century
It’s difficult to discuss the emergence of modern Japan without talking about WWII. During the war, the Empire of Japan used aggressive military tactics in an attempt to expand its reach and control in Asia and elsewhere. In response, the US Army instigated a strategic bombing campaign that included the notorious use of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The result of these attacks was mass human and structural devastation.
These bombings, along with depleted armed forces and the looming threat of invasion from the Soviet Union, led the Empire of Japan to surrender unconditionally to the Allies in September 1945.
The ‘Empire of Japan’ became ‘Japan’ as part of the extensive terms of surrender, and the nation faced the prospect of rebuilding and reinventing itself in the second half of the 20th century.
Reflect on the historic and sobering sites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki while on a 24 day Ultimate Japan tour.
After WWII, Japan found its feet operating as a free-market economy based around the manufacture and export of automobiles and electronics, experiencing particularly rapid growth between 1960 and the late 1980s. The late 20th century saw the country emerge as an economic superpower, and with that came the flourishing of several cultural sectors, such as the arts and cuisine.
Experience Japan's historic sites on a 13 day Land of the Rising Sun tour.
Top places to visit in Japan
One minute you’re walking through a former black-market quarter, the next you’re paying your respects at a 1400-year-old temple. Eclectic Tokyo is an essential part of any visit to Japan.
Wander through the streets of Tokyo on our 12 day Classic Japan tour.
If you’ve ever eaten at a sushi train restaurant, you’ve got the underrated city of Osaka to thank! The motto in this city is 'kuidaore' which roughly translates as ‘eat until you drop’ . You can consider that a (friendly) order.
Experience Osaka on our 12 day Japan Family Holiday.
The home of temples, palaces and the Gion district (where geisha live and work), Kyoto is also where you’ll find the famed Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.
Spot Geisha in Kyoto on our 9 day Japan Express tour.
4. Kanazawa
A great place to see a slice of old Japan, with classic sculpted gardens, a restored Old Town and well-preserved architecture from a variety of eras.
Explore Kanazawa on our 11 day Cycle Japan tour or on our 10 day Essential Japan adventure.
5. Hiroshima
Most travellers visit Hiroshima to see the Peace Memorial Park, constructed around the hypocentre of the atomic bomb that destroyed the city in 1945. Follow this up with nearby Miyajima, a tranquil island where tame deer roam the streets.
6. Yudanaka
This quaint resort town is best experienced in the winter, when snow coats the normally evergreen trees and Japanese macaques come down from the mountains to bathe and groom each other in the steaming natural hot springs of Jigokudani (Hell Valley).
Geography and environment
Japan is an archipelago of more than 6000 islands located in the Pacific Ocean in Asia . The main islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. Lying on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan is prone to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity. The most famous volcano, Mount Fuji , is also Japan's highest peak and only 100km from Tokyo.
Japan has plenty of forested, mountainous terrain that is unsuitable for agriculture and development, so much of the population lives in the coastal cities. This has led Japan to become one of the most densely populated countries in the world and the majority of its inhabitants are used to living in very small spaces, with a heavy reliance on public transport.
Although life is fast-paced and crowded in cities like Tokyo and Osaka, rural areas typically feature low-density, traditional housing and a slower pace of life surrounded by greenery such as lush forests and plenty of moss-covered boulders.
Traverse mountains, cycle coastlines and meander through forests on a 12 day Japan: Hike, Bike and Kayak tour.
Shopping in Japan is fun but expensive, so be sure to have a budget for souvenirs planned in advance! In cities like Tokyo, there are loads of quirky stores and funky galleries showcasing the works of independent fashion designers and gadget creators. From the outlandish to the kitsch, you're guaranteed to find loads of colourful clothing and edgy art that you won't be able to find elsewhere.
If you’re planning to bring back leaf tea or any other perishable or edible items, it's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand, in particular, have strict quarantine laws.
What to buy
- Kimonos This quintessential Japanese souvenir looks great hung on the wall as an interesting decorative piece. If you plan on wearing one, make sure you do so respectfully and learn the correct way to fold the garment.
Paper lanterns, kites and fans Japanese paper goods make great, relatively inexpensive souvenirs. Choose from high-quality, traditionally-made kites or delicate rice paper lanterns.
Electronics Shops in Japan are bursting with the latest tech gadgets. Just be sure to check that they are compatible for use at home.
Fashion Have fun with the amazing diversity of popular street culture fashion available in Japan. Vibrant, brash and sometimes bizarre – find something that no one back at home will be wearing.
Anime and manga paraphernalia Another inexpensive gift option, even for people who can’t read Japanese. Pick up a book, magazine, t-shirt or print from one of Japan’s many anime and manga stores
Festivals and events
If you want an adventure with a point of difference, consider planning your travels to coincide with these popular festive events in Japan.
Sapporo Winter Festival
Held every February since 1950, this festival features hundreds of statues and ice sculptures, snow slides and mazes, regional food and artistic performances. Winter in Japan is truly amazing, and the Sapporo Winter Festival is a magical way to celebrate.
Hadaka Matsuri
Head to Okayama to watch thousands of men wearing nothing but loincloths vie to touch the chosen 'naked man'. It may look like a bizarre male-bonding exercise but it's actually a historic cleansing ritual dating back thousands of years. Dates change yearly.
Fuji Rock Festival
Held annually in the stunning surroundings of the Naeba Ski Resort, this outdoor music festival is huge and draws in big-name acts and local bands Thousands of music lovers flock to Naeba for three days of camping, music and partying in the summer months.

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip.

Is tipping customary in Japan?
Tipping isn't customary in Japan and is not expected – in fact, it will sometimes be considered impolite. Some inns or ryokans may leave a small envelope in your room where a small gratuity can be left for housekeeping staff.
What is the internet access like in Japan?
Internet access is excellent in Japan, with one of the most developed high-speed internet networks in the world. Internet cafes and wi-fi hotspots are easily found in most cities and major towns.
Can I use my mobile while in Japan?
Mobile phone coverage is excellent in Japan but be aware that talking loudly on your phone in public places (like in train carriages) is frowned upon. You will be expected to hide your mouth behind your hand if you must take a call in public. If you want to use your mobile phone, ensure global roaming is activated before you arrive (but be aware of the fees this may incur).
What are the toilets like in Japan?
In Japan, toilets range from high-tech bidets to standard western-style flushable toilets to squat toilets, which are still common outside the city. Sometimes you may need to pay for toilet paper, which can usually be purchased from a vending machine nearby.
Can I drink the water in Japan?
Drinking water from taps in Japan is considered safe. For environmental reasons, try to use a refillable water bottle rather than buying bottled water. Major cities often have water fountains in train stations.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Japan?
Major credit cards are accepted by some stores; however, Japan is still very much a cash culture and as such, some places may not accept credit cards. Ensure you carry enough cash to cover purchases.

What is ATM access like in Japan?
ATMs are common in Japan but unfortunately many of them don't accept foreign-issued cards. However, you can access cash from non-Japanese bank accounts via the Cirrus and Maestro systems at all post office ATMs around the country, as well as ATMs at 7-Eleven convenience stores.
When is the best time to travel to Japan?
March, April and May are excellent months to holiday in Japan and, as a result, are the busiest. The weather is usually fine and beautiful cherry blossoms are in full bloom. September, October and November are also great months to visit Japan on holidays, as the days are warm but not humid and the autumn colours are out. Winter, while cold, offers great conditions for skiing, snowboarding, going to snow festivals and admiring the stunning mountain scenery. The summer months can be quite humid, but tourist areas are generally quieter and there are many fun festivals and fireworks displays to enjoy.
What is the weather like in Japan?
- Spring (March to May): temperatures range from 10 to 20°C, with conditions getting sunnier and clearer towards the end of the season.
- Summer (June to August): temperatures range from 21 to 32°C depending on where you are. It’s warmer in the south than in the north. You can expect some rain in June, and it can get quite humid towards the end of the season.
- Autumn (September to November): temperatures range from 7 to 20°C. The humidity starts to calm down in September, but days stay warm until October. Nights can be chilly.
- Winter (December to February): break out the coats, temperatures during winter range from 0 to 15°C. The mountains and the north experience snowfall .
How safe is Japan?
Japan is generally safe and is rated among the safest countries in the world. Reports of crime such as theft are very low and travellers are often stunned by the fact that locals leave belongings unaccompanied in cafes and bars (though we certainly don’t recommend it!).
Is Japan safe for LGBTQIA+ travellers?
LGBTQIA+ travellers shouldn’t have any issues visiting Japan with violence, outright hostility or overt discrimination extremely rare. However, Japan’s older generation still holds conservative values when it comes to LGBTQIA+ sexuality and non-binary gender expression, especially those that live in regional areas.
Same-sex relationships are considered legal in some districts (such as Tokyo); however, same-sex marriage hasn’t been legalised yet. Public displays of affection are often frowned upon, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation so keep that in mind when you’re out in public.
For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.
Is Japan accessible for travellers with disabilities?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
The needs of travellers with mobility issues, including wheelchair users, are considered in the infrastructure in major cities. Train stations have lifts (elevators), wide turnstiles and (for the most part) raised platforms so that wheelchair users can glide onto the train without being assisted. Sidewalks in Japanese cities are sometimes sloped towards the road, which can make travelling a straight line difficult for wheelchair users or people with vision impairment.
It is common practice in Japan to remove shoes when entering a home. Wheelchair users should carry something to wipe down their wheels in respect of this custom. Apply the same logic for other mobility aids such as canes.
Ryokans and other traditional accommodation can be difficult to navigate for people with limited mobility, but accessible hotel options are plentiful in the major cities.
Travellers with vision impairment may find the tactile yellow strips that guide the way to various places in train stations helpful, though please note that there is no barrier between the train tracks and platforms.
If you have a battery-operated hearing aid, it’s a good idea to bring extra batteries or familiarise yourself with the Japanese equivalent of the batteries it takes.
If you do live with a visual, hearing or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.
What should I wear in Japan?
Summer months can be incredibly hot and sticky, so loose, lightweight and breathable clothing is essential.
Spring and autumn can be crisp and cold, so you might want to pack thermal layers in addition to your coat and boots.
Outside of Hokkaido and the mountains, the winter temperatures in Japan are manageable as long as you have regular cold-weather clothes like a good coat, pair of gloves, a winter hat and a scarf.
The style of dress common for women in Japan may be a little more covered up than you are used to, particularly outside the major cities.
Packing comfortable trousers is essential as you may find yourself sitting cross-legged on the floor during your stay.
What are some common phrases/words I should learn before my trip to Japan?
Having a basic understanding of the language and culture of the country you're visiting can go a long way when it comes to, not only communicating efficiently but your overall trip experience as well. Some common phrases you need to learn are:
- 'hello' - Konnichiwa
- 'good morning' - Ohayō
- 'thank you' - Arigatou Gozaimasu
- 'please' - Onegaishimasu
What religions do they practice in Japan?
There are two dominant religions in Japan - Shinto and Buddhism. The majority of Japanese people practice both simultaneously, however, there is a small number of the population that practise other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam.
What are the best places to visit in Japan?
From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the peaceful nature of the Japanese Alps, there are plenty of bucket-list destinations to include on your itinerary of Japan. We know it's hard to see everything but here are a few of our favourite places to visit in Japan:
What are the best things to see in Japan?
Japan isn't short of spectacular attractions to wander through and fascinating historical landmarks to marvel at but it's pretty hard to do it all on your trip to Japan. So you don't miss the things you simply have to see, we've put together a short list of parks, temples, and monuments worth visiting. Happy exploring!
- Hiroshima Peace Park
- Cherry blossom trees
- Osaka Castle
- Himeji Castle
What should I eat in Japan?
Food lovers, including vegetarians and vegans , will be more than satisfied with the variety and quality of Japanese cuisine. With a focus on fresh, seasonal produce that is prepared meticulously and presented beautifully, dining in Japan is a memorable experience.
What drinks should I try in Japan?
From craft beer to sake, Japan has plenty of tasty liquids to keep you hydrated throughout your travels.
How do I stay safe and healthy while travelling?
Intrepid takes the health and safety of its travellers seriously and takes every measure to ensure that trips are safe, fun and enjoyable for everyone. We recommend that all travellers check with their government or national travel advisory organisation for the latest information before departure:
From Australia?
Go to: Smart Traveller
From Canada?
Go to: Canada Travel Information
From the UK?
Go to: UK Foreign Travel Advice
From New Zealand?
Go to: Safe Travel
From the US?
Go to: US Department of State
The World Health Organisation also provides useful health information.
What is it like travelling on a small group tour?
Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or you’re about to embark on your first trip, travelling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organising amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), travelling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.
Does my trip support The Intrepid Foundation?
Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partners Eden Reforestation Projects and World Bicycle Relief. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

What does a holiday by Shelley Brice look like?
Life-changing experiences in Africa.
“One cannot resist the lure of Africa “ Rudyard Kipling. Wild animals don’t sleep in and neither will you. Nothing will ever prepare you for the breathtaking excitement of seeing a wild elephant up close or the sound of a lion’s roar in the depths of the night. Your African itinerary will deliver both fast-paced moments of adrenaline as well as contrasting moments of serenity, candlelit dinners, massages and tranquil sunsets; your chance to simply 'be'. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reconnect and Africa is a sure thing if you want to gasp, appreciate and be humbled.
Trace the footsteps of the great explorers on an Antarctic adventure.
Prepare to be impressed. Towering icebergs, King penguins, serene picturesque landscapes and air purer than anywhere you have ever been.There’s a multitude of ways that you can visit this once in a lifetime location. From traditional Russian icebreakers, luxury expedition vessels, ships, helicopters and submarines – this destination will move you by her beauty, scale and power. If you’re someone who wants just that little more and can’t remember the last time you gasped at what lay before you, then redefine the term 'adventure' and put Antarctica high on your list of travel priorities.
Travel to Italy like a God.
Oh Bellisimo. Italy is to be experienced it by design, not by guidebook. With my years of expertise and your aspirations, let’s fashion an Italian sojourn tailored specifically for you. I’ll get you to experience all the good things off the beaten track and will have you maneuvering the crowds like Michael Schumacher. I know how best to make all the moving pieces fit seamlessly. Not that I will do it alone. I’ve found my flock and work collaboratively with locals who love what they do and do it astonishingly well. So whether it’s a stay in a beautiful Masseria in Puglia, a coastal retreat in the seaside fishing village of Camogli or a romantic escape - Italy will have you spellbound in her magic.

Great travel is as much about connecting with destinations that inspire you, as it is about connecting with the right people.
Experiences.
I craft meaningful travel experiences by getting to know you and how you want to see the world. My flair for creating client’s travels is based on using a very simple formula; I listen to your interests and dreams, share my ideas, ascertain your budget and handcraft a personalised itinerary.

With over two decades of experience in the travel industry, my extensive network runs deep. The relationships I have cultivated over the years allows me to unlock each destination and grant my clients access that most travellers don’t know exist.

As an experienced professional, clients benefit from my unbiased and trusted advice, inside knowledge and my ability to cut through the overwhelming options and find your perfect experience.

Shelley has been our personal travel advisor for many years. We have followed her through her career and utilised her expertise because she is simply the best at what she does. Whether it be a short local holiday or significant overseas holiday spanning weeks or months, we would not consider using anyone one else but Shelley to provide us with the guidance and security that she offers. When traveling with a family overseas, having such a helpful, knowledgeable and skilled advisor is priceless.

The Land Down Under is open for business.
The world of travel has changed forever, and continues to change on a daily basis.No-one would ever have believed that in our lifetime we would be experiencing a global lockdown of our Australian borders, both nationally and internationally. We have been forced to slow down and come to terms with what that really means to us. We may never take the freedom to travel for granted ever again. What did travel mean for You? Beautiful memories, unleashing your adventurous spirit, creating incredible friendships or simply the time we look forward to all year, as a means of escaping one reality for another. Australian's by nature are an adventurous bunch, perhaps it's our isolation that leads many of us yearning for the experience of other cities and cultures. Do we really have to deprive ourselves of an amazing travel experience? There is a world of opportunity right here in the land down under, that you may have not even thought about.

Do we really have to deprive ourselves of an amazing travel experience? There is a world of opportunity right here in the land down under, that you may have not even thought about. In Western Australia for example, heading north will see you experience landscapes that rival some of the best in the world. We have the huge sandstone cliffs and river gorges of Kalbarri National Park only a few hours travel from Perth. A little further north, if you like hiking then you will love the walking trails and the spectacular gorges of Karijini National Park. A fresh water swim is a must here - don't worry there are no crocs ! The Kimberley region in my opinion is the most idyllic, beautiful and isolated landscapes that you simply must put on your travel bucket list. By land or by sea the experience will never leave you but linger a lifetime in your heart.
