Things to Look Out For
The Japan Rail Pass maths
If your trip runs Tokyo–Kyoto–Osaka and back, a 7-day JR Pass usually pays for itself in two bullet-train legs. But it must be bought before you land, and it doesn't cover the fastest Nozomi shinkansen. Reserve seats at the station the morning you travel; the green-car upgrade is worth it on the longer runs.
Carry cash, and coins
Japan still runs on cash far more than its reputation suggests. Temples, small restaurants, and the vending machines that line every street want yen, not cards. The 7-Eleven ATMs take foreign cards reliably when bank ones won't. Keep a coin purse; the 500-yen coin is worth more than most notes back home.
Shoes, silence, and slurping
Shoes come off at the threshold of homes, temples, and many restaurants. Wear socks without holes. Trains are near-silent; phone calls draw stares. And the one place to be loud is over a bowl of ramen, where slurping is not rude but expected. It cools the noodles and tells the cook you mean it.

Plan Your Timing
Japan rewards the shoulder seasons. Late March to May brings the cherry blossom moving north. Kyoto and Tokyo peak around the first week of April. Followed by warm, clear weeks into May. October and November turn the maples of Kyoto and Nikko deep red, the country's other great colour season. July and August are hot and humid, with a rainy spell in June and typhoons possible into September; the deep winter is cold and clear, fine for the ski country but quiet in the cities.
