I am 61 and hopeless with apps. It is a PDF, it opened, that was the whole thing.

Jacques
EXCELLENT — 4/5
Four stars and not five only because I wanted more on Hokkaido. For Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka it is exactly what it says it is.

Day 6 is a lot of walking if you are not fast. I split it over two days and it worked fine.

I have bought two of these before and they were recycled blog posts. This one has the train lines and the fares.

Todoroki Valley. Twenty minutes from Shibuya and we were the only people there.
Karim

I read the next day on the train every morning. No signal needed, it just opens.

Fourteen days and we never crossed the city twice. That alone was worth it.
The honest question
Why pay for this when YouTube is free?
Fair. Someone asked exactly that under one of our videos. Here is the difference, laid out plainly.

Asked under our videos
The four questions we get most.
Can you manage in Japan with only English?
In the cities, yes. It gets harder on regional trains, in small restaurants and at pharmacies. The essentials section covers the phrases and apps that matter.
Is 14 days enough?
Enough for Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and two day trips without rushing. The route is built in city blocks, so days 1-7 stand alone as a complete trip.
What does a day actually cost?
Between 6,000 and 11,000 yen depending on the day - hotel, transport and food included. Every day carries its own budget line.
The best parts of Japan are far from Tokyo.
Agreed - which is why 42 of the 50 places sit outside the Tokyo region, each with the train and the fare to get there.
