Why Japan?
Japan is a destination that defies expectations at every turn. One moment you're walking through a 1,000-year-old bamboo forest, the next you're in a neon-lit metropolis with robots serving your dinner. This unique blend of ancient and futuristic makes Japan unlike anywhere else on Earth.
For Indian travelers, Japan offers an incredibly safe, clean, and efficient travel experience. The public transport is legendary, the food is an art form, and the Japanese hospitality (omotenashi) will leave you feeling genuinely cared for.

Remove shoes indoors, don't tip, bow when greeting, be quiet on trains, and don't eat while walking. Japanese appreciate when visitors respect their customs.
