OSAKA

Brought to you by RAJ Service Support LLC – Your Trusted Travel Partner in Japan

Japan is a beautiful, safe, and organized country to travel through—but for first-time visitors, the cultural differences and logistics can be overwhelming. At RAJ Service Support LLC, we aim to make your land tour stress-free and memorable.

Here are some essential travel tips to help you enjoy a smooth, immersive experience:

1. Bring Your Own Trash Bags

Japan has very few public trash cans—even in major cities.

Tip: Carry a small plastic bag to collect your own trash during the day and dispose of it back at your hotel or at designated bins.

2. Carry a Reusable Grocery or Shopping Bag

Stores may charge for plastic bags, and Japan encourages eco-friendly habits.

Tip: Pack a foldable tote bag for daily shopping, snacks, or souvenirs.

3. Wear Comfortable Rubber-Soled Shoes

You’ll be doing a lot of walking—from temples and gardens to bustling train stations.

Tip: Wear non-slip, cushioned walking shoes or sneakers. Slip-ons are ideal for places where you'll need to remove shoes (temples, some restaurants, or ryokan inns).

4. Stay Connected with Pocket Wi-Fi

Internet access is essential for maps, translation, and bookings.RAJ Service Support offers complimentary Pocket Wi-Fi with select tour packages so you're never disconnected.

5. Book a Personal Driver for Flexibility

Public transport is great, but rural areas and personalized sightseeing are best done by car.RAJ Service Support provides private car service with a dedicated driver, so you can travel comfortably and flexibly—no waiting, no stress.

6. Travel With a Local Tour Guide

Having a bilingual guide can transform your experience from cultural insights to help navigating local etiquette. We offer professional, multi-lingual tour guides to give you insider knowledge and peace of mind during your trip.

7. Use an IC Card (Suica, PASMO, ICOCA)

For metro, trains, and buses, having a prepaid IC card is a game-changer.

Tip: RAJ can assist with setting up and loading these cards as part of your welcome package.

8. Carry Pocket Tissues & Hand Sanitizer

Some public restrooms may not have paper or soap.

Tip: Bring a few packs of tissues and a small hand sanitizer to stay prepared.

9. Have Some Cash Handy

Japan is still largely cash-based, especially in rural areas, small eateries, and temples.

Tip: Use international-friendly ATMs at 7-Eleven or Japan Post. RAJ drivers and guides can help locate them if needed.

10. Download Helpful Travel Apps
