Japan Tour Packages
Japan is an island nation in East Asia where ancient tradition and modern life sit side by side. Neon-lit cities, peaceful temples, cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji make it one of the most memorable trips you can take from Nepal.
Mount Fuji
Why Visit Japan?
In Japan, modern life meets ancient tradition. Start your day on Tokyo's busy Shibuya Crossing, speed across the country on a bullet train at 300 km/h, and end it in a peaceful temple garden in Kyoto. Everything is clean, on time and carefully done, from the train timetables to the way a shopkeeper wraps your gift.
The most popular first trip is the "Golden Route": Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka, all linked by fast trains. Spring cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are the most beautiful times to visit, but every season has something to love.
Many Nepalis live, work and study in Japan, so Nepali restaurants and familiar food are easy to find. Japan costs more than Southeast Asia, but a well-planned trip keeps costs down. Passion Tour And Holiday Service can plan your hotels, rail travel and visa documents to suit your dates and budget.

Things to Do on Your Japan Holiday
Build your Japan trip around the experiences you enjoy, from temple walks to bullet train rides.

Watch Fuji from Lake Kawaguchiko or the Chureito Pagoda viewpoint, ideally with a night by the lake.
Ride the Bullet Train
Travel between cities on the shinkansen at up to 300 km/h, after crossing Shibuya and seeing Tokyo from above.
Feed the Deer and Eat Your Way Around
Feed the bowing deer in Nara Park, then eat your way along Dotonbori in Osaka.
Stay in a Ryokan
Spend a night in a traditional Japanese inn and relax in an onsen hot spring.
Time It with the Seasons
See cherry blossoms in spring or autumn leaves in November, and add a day at Tokyo Disneyland or Universal Studios Japan.
Japan Travel Guide for Nepali Visitors
Prepare the essentials before departure and check current official requirements close to your travel date.
Entry and Visa
Nepali citizens need a visa to visit Japan. There's no visa on arrival, and applications go through VFS Global in Kathmandu. A tourist visa allows a stay of up to 90 days, subject to approval. You'll usually need bank statements, flight and hotel bookings, and a day-by-day itinerary. We'll help you put your documents together.
Weather and Timing
Japan has four seasons, with cold winters and hot, humid summers. Late March to early April is cherry blossom season, and November is best for autumn leaves. These are the busiest times, so book early. June is the rainy season, July and August are hot and humid, and typhoons can arrive in late summer. Golden Week (late April to early May) is very crowded.
Money and Getting Around
Cash is still common, though more places now take cards. ATMs in 7-Eleven stores accept foreign cards. Convenience store meals and set lunches help keep costs down. Trains are fast and always on time: use a Suica or Pasmo IC card in cities, take the shinkansen between cities, and check whether a rail pass is worth it for your route.
Etiquette and Culture
Tipping isn't done and can cause confusion. Take your shoes off where you see a step up at the entrance. Keep your voice down on trains and don't talk on your phone. Some onsens don't allow tattoos.
Plugs and Packing
Japan uses Type A and B plugs (two flat pins) at only 100V, so bring an adaptor and check that your chargers support 100 to 240V (most phone and laptop chargers do). Pocket Wi-Fi and eSIMs are easy to get. Pack warm clothes in winter and comfortable shoes, as you'll walk a lot.
Food Tips
Try sushi, ramen, tempura, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, Japanese curry rice and matcha sweets. Vegetarian food is harder to find, because many dishes use dashi (fish stock), but Kyoto's shojin ryori is traditional Buddhist vegetarian cooking. Almost every city has Nepali-run Indian and Nepali restaurants, and convenience stores (konbini) are great for cheap, good-quality meals.
