Visiting Japan with a misdemeanor for paraphernalia Hello all, in June 2025 I plan on visiting Japan for two weeks. However, when I filled out the visit Japan immigration custom form, I saw a part where it asks about criminal history. In 2015 or 16, I did get convicted for possession of paraphernalia, but not any specific drugs (Marijuana, narcotics, etc). Is this something that can be denied? Sh…

Japan advice: Where to stay after Kyoto and Kameoka? (Nature oriented) I’m planning a stop in Kyoto and then Kameoka. I have 2-3 days more that I’d like to tag on at a nature-oriented location where it’s easy to do day hikes (I don’t do multi day hikes or backpacking). I won’t have a car so it needs to be accessible by public transport from either Kameoka or Kyoto. Any ideas? I love hills/mountains a lot but nice l…

Recommendations for Provincial Japan My family and I are planning a trip to Japan. We’re still a couple of years away but planning is half the fun. There is my wife and I (mid 40s) and our kids who will be 14 and 10. We will have about 3 weeks total. I also know enough Japanese to be polite and order food and beer. Hopefully I will have expanded this before we travel. The thing is …

Baseball in Japan This is my first post on Reddit. We are travelling to Japan in April. I’ve enjoyed viewing the many posts and suggestions from others. This may seem silly but my wife and I are big baseball fans. We thought it might be a hoot and a break from the regular sightseeing to go to a baseball game while in Tokyo. Has anyone been to a professional game …

Do mixed-gender onsens in Japan require males to be naked? I read on a Japan travel blog that mixed-gender onsens/hot springs require men and boys to be completely naked while women and girls can wear a full body wrap towel. Is this true or is it nonsense? submitted by /u/Budget_Enthusiasm_43

Japan Immigration Disclosure I am travelling to Japan next year. This year, in Australia, I was arrested for drug possession. Given the amount I was found with was deemed to be for personal use and I am a first time offender, I was found guilty, but without conviction (AKA section 10). This means I was put on a “conditional release order” which is a 12 month good behaviour…

How soon can I visit Japan again? Hi! I’m from the Phillippines. I got a multiple entry Japan visa, and I just came back to the Philippines from a 10-day vacation trip to Japan. Is it true that I would need to wait for at least 1 month before I can come back to Japan again? This was according to my sister and brother-in-law, who travelled to Japan recently as well. I’ve search…

My cousins invited me to stay with them in Cyprus (they live there) for April. However, in April, I wanted to go to Japan.

Cool spots to layover/stop at between Japan and Australia Hello all! I’m an American currently in Japan and some friends in Melbourne invited me down to stay so I’m going to take them up on their offer and change my flight home to go visit them instead before going home. Flights there are pretty cheap so I’m mulling over stopping at some places on the way for a night or two that would be fun, but have …

They currently don’t have a Japan itinerary but are working on getting one setup fo…

ZIPAIR – LAX to Japan Hi!! I found a really good deal on ZipAir and was in the process of choosing my seats in economy. I read that sitting exit is best but all exit seats are taken (understandably so), for those who have flown ZipAir, what would you say the second best seats are? I was thinking the row right behind the emergency exit since folks in front will have m…

What focal lengths for winter photography in japan? I’m heading to Japan in Mid January, and wanting to experience winter scenery in Japan. Definitely will see some snow in hokkaido where we’ll be going skiing in niseko, and sight seeing around sapporo. We’ll also be travelling to kinosaki onsen, ine, amanohashidate, kyoto – where there might be less chance of snow, but still possible. It would b…
