Helpful links for travelers to Japan

Did you miss cherry blossom in Japan in the spring? Autumn is also beautiful season out there.

Autumn
Here are some links to help you prepare for your trip to Japan:

Miscellaneous

JNTO Official Japan National Tourism Organization . You can get a lot of information, maps, small vocabularies from nearest office.
japan-guide
This is was main web site I used for preparation of my trip to Japan. There are a lot of useful information about various sightseeing places on the site. Also it has a forum, where you can get answers to all your questions.
Nipponia On this site it was events calendar grouped by month, but design was changed and it became difficult to find what you need.
Frommers You probably know this travel guide and it is not such different from other travel guides, but there is good forum on the site with lots of information.
Hyperdia
One of most useful websites and you definitely will use it for independent trip to Japan. On it you’ll find the route and the timetable of the railway and the aviation of Japan.
Japan Rail Pass If you already checked your route with Hyperdia and know how much it will cost your journey in Japan it may be worth to buy JR Pass to safe on your trips by train.
Hostels I used this site to book most of my accommodation as it lists not only hostels but also other cheap accommodation options.

    There’s a lot of things to learn about Japan, specifically, the places, rules and other important matters. This will make travelers familiarize the country and learn the basics, or else you’ll get lost. Great info and heads up! These links are very helpful for first-timers like me.

  5. Will keep this bookmarked for my trip to Japan, don’t know when that is but its in a near future I think.
