Japan is the land of contrasts – technology, tradition, temples, teriyaki and tea. The fascinating variety of the country captivates and seduces. Japan is known to be a melting pot for history and present. The country is a leader in technology and fashion, while it is filled with beautiful mountains, parks and hot springs.

In spring, the beautiful cherry blossoms bloom and in the fall the country is filled with the beautiful shades of the trees in green and orange. Sushi is sold both in street cafés as well as in fine restaurants. Pick out the items on a regular basis, or order in other classic dishes like sashimi, tempura or soba. Slurping is considered a sign of good appetite and that the food tastes great!

Amazing versatility in Japan

Japan’s regions are all different in nature and offer different experiences. Hokkaido to the north with its snowy winters and open spaces. Tohoku with skiing, as well as hot springs. Kanto houses the major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. Chubu in the middle of Japan is home to the Japanese Alps. Kansai produces half of the country’s business. Chugoku is the rural area while Shikoku is famous for Buddhist pilgrimage. Kyushu is rocky and has good surfing beaches.

Frequently asked questions about Japan

Do I need a visa to travel to Japan?

No, citizens of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark do not need a visa for short tourist stays up to 90 days (2025). You must have a valid return ticket and a passport that remains valid throughout your stay. Immigration may ask for your travel plans or proof of accommodation upon arrival.

When is the best time to visit Japan?

It depends on what you’d like to experience:

  • Spring (March–May) is ideal for seeing cherry blossoms (sakura).
  • Autumn (September–November) offers beautiful fall foliage and pleasant temperatures.
    Summer can be hot and humid, while winter is cold but popular for skiing, especially in regions like Hokkaido.
What should I expect from Japanese food and culture?

Japan is famous for its refined cuisine, ranging from sushi and ramen to okonomiyaki and tempura. Vegetarian options exist but may require some planning.
Culturally, Japan blends the ultra-modern with deep tradition—you’ll find tea ceremonies, temples, sumo wrestling, as well as futuristic cities and cutting-edge technology.
Social etiquette is important: for example, bowing instead of handshakes, avoiding phone calls on trains, and removing shoes indoors.
