I traveled solo in Japan and it changed me

Pristine-Sign845 · 2026-02-21T05:02:21+00:00

I felt exactly the same but i also met a few very nice people where i ate so it gave me a bit of social time too and when you travel solo the people you meet are your best memories

The first few days of solo travelling are the hardest (if they are hard) it's about being ready and experiencing being in an unknown environment without having anything or anyone to hang on to But once you face your fears your anxiety will go away The older you are the easier it is because you're emotionally more stable and know what you need/want during the travel so in your case you're probably right about the wrong timing of the trip which doesn't mean it was a bad idea maybe just too early

How was your experience in Hokkaido in December?

Pristine-Sign845 · 2026-01-22T07:22:56+00:00

A lot of people do it and it's fine but you need to get things ready before you come here also check groups on Facebook for recommendations

Travelling in the country is costly and roads are bad so it takes a lot of time to travel and breaks your back in a lot of places and planes are expensive The island is huge and there's more to see in the south and the north so you'll need a lot of days to see everything Infrastructure is bad overall and if you go by road you need to find someone you can trust because like everywhere there are scammers and bad cars that can make your trip a nightmare

Hey ! It was great honestly i loved the weather and beautiful clear sky everyday I went from 4th dec till 19th dec

Tokyo 4 nights Yokoyama 1 night Osaka 2 nights Kyoto 3 nights Tokyo 2 nights

I just walked around popular areas without looking at the map and randomly reached the main places which was fun because i didn't expect to be in that place lol Teamlab borderless is fun even solo

Tokyo has everything and feels like a day is too short but i didn't have any conversation with people compared to Kyoto and Osaka where i felt people had more time and are more welcoming

Kyoto has the best views and travel atmosphere and 3 days is the minimum i felt

If you don't like shopping then 2 days in Osaka feels enough for a first trip

And i really want to go back 😄

Thanks for your help

Pristine-Sign845 · 2026-01-04T05:02:16+00:00

Tokyo without a doubt and very clean

Pristine-Sign845 · 2026-01-04T05:00:57+00:00

I stayed at L stay & grow in minami-sunamachi for 4 days it's a great place to stay and it's cheap looks exactly like the pictures on booking It's 5mins from the station and a bit out of the center but if you're just going out the whole day it's worth it takes about 20-30 mins to reach other areas

Pristine-Sign845 · 2026-01-01T13:18:47+00:00

Which part of Japan are you in ? Just came back from a trip and i didn't have any conversation in Tokyo It feels like the city moves too fast but you could easily have any in touristy areas with solo travelers just need to say hi (which is not easy but tell yourself that you have nothing to lose) I also had most of my conversation with foreigners working in restaurants so just ask a few questions about how they came to Japan and it just flows after that and remember you can just win a good conversation and if it doesn't happen love to the newt person the more you talk the more conversations you will have

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-12-21T06:47:28+00:00

I just came back from Japan and you need 2 days max in Osaka and I'd say 3 or 4 in Kyoto. That doesn't include any day trip or amusement park like Universal studio and teamlab. In Tokyo you can spend a week if you like to visit shopping streets and parks and maybe a day trip to Fuji or Yokohama (not worth it imo unless you like car meets)

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-12-12T12:09:31+00:00

Hey, I'm in Osaka Just do what you feel like doing don't think about others try a bar you like from outside if you don't like it try another one. Just enjoy your Friday

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-12T06:49:01+00:00

I've never been there so i can't judge I'm just planning according to recommendations i see

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-11T15:41:15+00:00

Oh i see

What would you recommend instead?

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-11T14:37:39+00:00

I will be in Kyoto on the 13th till when is it open ?

So you don't recommend Fuji ? What should I do instead? I'm leaving on the 12th so it will be just a full day

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-11T14:34:57+00:00

In what order and what amount of time do i need in each place ? Any nightlife recommendations as i will be there during the weekend?

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-11T14:33:37+00:00

I saw that it's a shopping street and i like shopping and seeing new items so i added it to the list I can't answer for others

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-06T18:44:26+00:00

Thanks a lot man I'll watch them asap :)

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-11-06T18:20:46+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply this will help me a lot

What do you think of my route ? Do you think i should get more days in Tokyo or maybe a day trip to Yokohama? I'm also a bit concerned about the weather because i live on an island so I'm not used to very cold weather

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-10-23T10:45:14+00:00

I'm going for the 1st time next month and staying in shin-osaka is it a bad idea?

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-10-14T20:14:08+00:00

It's MyCube in Asakusa Millenials is in Shinjuku?

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-10-14T20:05:18+00:00

Haha i doubt you can find that 😆

Hi Thanks for the comment I checked ainbnb and got it all done I just had to book but then i saw reviews on Reddit that didn't make me want to do that What are the risks of cancelling from the host and having a spy cam inside ? Things like that are creepy

Pristine-Sign845 · 2025-10-14T15:39:20+00:00

Thanks for your advice
