Japan

    Japan is perfect for all types of travelers. There is so much to see and do, you can easily spent a few months here. Getting around is easy, but can quite expensive. I would recommend to purchase a JR railpass. Some of the best backpacker hostels are in Japan. They are perfect for meeting new travel friends and finding budget tours. Japan is a great country for independent travelers. Don’t forget to check out the ‘Make a Plan’ section on this blog for loads of general backpacking tips. Are you ready for your Japan adventure?
