Transportation

Japan is known for its efficient and timely public transport system, with an extensive rail network covering metropolitan areas and the vast majority of rural areas.

Whether you choose to travel by rail, using a combination of the Shinkansen (bullet train) network and local trains, or by utilising a growing number of budget air carriers offering domestic flights across Japan, travelling across Japan has never been easier.

Rest areas known as “Michi-no-Eki” (highway services) are frequent across all major Japanese highways and are known for their range of food, clean toilet/shower facilities and many offer the ability to stay overnight.
