Japanese public transportation is world-renowned – during our month in the country, we definitely learned why. Apart from taking a van ride to the airport on our way out (offered by our hotel for free, otherwise we wouldn’t have) we spent our entire time in the country without using a car – it just wasn’t needed! Pretty much every corner of the country is accessible through a mix of buses, trams, subways, and trains.
As an example, we’re highlighting one of our Japanese travel days in this video. On this morning we woke up in Osaka, and ended up on the banks of Lake Kawaguchiko at the base of Mt. Fuji. This was about a half-day trip involving local trains, a high-speed Shinkansen train, and a bus ride. A long journey for sure, but getting around was quite efficient – as you’ll see here. Enjoy!
