Trip to Japan
A trip to Japan is sure to be a totally unforgettable adventure. But Japan is a country where the flow of people on the streets does not weaken not for a minute, and therefore it is important to know the peculiarities of the country's transport system..
Aircraft
The internal airline network has a huge number of routes, and is served by more than 90 airport complexes.
Urban transport
The most convenient way to travel around the cities of Japan is the subway. The fare depends on the distance of the station you need..
Vending machines selling tickets can be found at almost all stations. Control is carried out by electronic controllers. Remember that tickets on the Japanese subway are checked not only at the entrance, but also at the exit.
Bus routes exist in all cities, but using this method of transportation is quite problematic if you are completely unfamiliar with the language of the country. But if you still take the risk, then you can pay for the trip even when you get off the bus..
The next option is a taxi. Here everything is already a little simpler, and therefore it is the taxi that is in special demand among tourists. Taxi drivers can deliver you to any address if it is written in English. It is not so difficult to catch a taxi driver in a moving stream of a car. The identification signal of a free car is a red paw burning in the left corner of the windshield. It will not be superfluous to know that the minimum payment is taken for the first two kilometers of the journey. If you are stuck in a traffic jam or are moving very slowly, there is also a special time rate..
If you wish, you can rent a car. The service is available in all major cities. The main condition is the presence of a driver's license issued in accordance with international standards. Since road signs are written exclusively in Japanese, self-driving can be quite problematic. It must also be remembered that left-hand traffic is accepted in the country..
Highways are the highways Tohoku, Tomei, Meishin, connecting large cities on the Pacific coast. The most convenient way to get to the port you are interested in is by high-speed train.
The islands can be reached by boat and ferry. The main routes pass through the following islands: Awaji; Sedo; Omishima; Fimeji-Fakuda and some others.
Trains
The total length of the country's railways is about 23 thousand kilometers. Railways in Japan are among the best in the entire civilized world. By train, the Japanese quite often get to work, and therefore the carriages are unusually comfortable..
You can travel by purchasing regular tickets. But if your plans include active movement around the country, then it is best to buy a train ticket.
