Don't schedule too much

While transportation is convenient when staying in Japan, it can sometimes take longer than planned due to things like navigating through train stations, crowds, and weather. Leaving free time will make it easier to deal with sudden changes or illness. Especially when visiting a region for the first time, limiting the number of places you visit in one day will give you more time to enjoy the area.

One source of information during your stay

It's a good idea to organize your accommodation, transportation, reservation number, insurance, emergency contacts, etc. without relying solely on your smartphone. Sharing this information with your family and companions and deciding who should check what in case of a problem will speed up your response.
