[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1038771, member: 34990"] 1) Nope - obviously google for your passports rules, but I didn't need to 3) I've not been, but everyone I know seems to fly - believe flights are very cheap. Though there is a ferry too. 4) I've not but I know someone who lives there and climbs once a year - looks tough but manageable. Not exactly a Mt. Kilimanjaro expedition, but tougher than a trip up Snowdon. 5) Very - As I mentioned above: Most stuff is in English as well as Japanese, everything is well signposted (and mostly colour coded), there are specific English speaking help counters in the large stations and there's a million and one websites (and apps) that will describe in minute detail how to get from place to place, which trains/platforms/tickets etc. Shinjuku station is the biggest/busiest train station in the world and I had zero issues using it at all (leaving it is another matter, though - never managed to leave at the correct entrance any time I used it). I bought a 7 day Japan Rail pass for when I went from Tokyo to Kyoto (it was similar price to the return bullet train ticket, but could also be used to get to Nara etc. so worked out cheaper overall). It was a breeze to buy at Shinjuku and even easier to use (just flash it at the kiosk next to the barriers and they let you through). [/QUOTE]
