In 2015, my friends and I booked round-trip tickets to Japan. It was a trip of a lifetime, but I was hesitant to take it because I knew Japan could be an expensive destination. While I knew there were ways to stretch my budget, it would still be pricier compared to other Asian countries I had visited. However, the thought of celebrating my birthday in my dream country and seeing cherry blossoms for the first time was so tempting, I couldn’t resist. This trip became the perfect start to planning my 10-day Japan itinerary.
Since that first trip, I’ve made it a tradition to visit Japan once a year. So far, I’ve explored 6 out of its 8 regions and visited over 20 prefectures. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll stop there! There are still so many places I dream of experiencing, and I’m so excited to plan my next adventure.
If you’ve just booked a trip to Japan but feel overwhelmed about where to start your planning, you’ve come to the right place! In this post, I’m sharing my 10-day Japan itinerary for first-time visitors. I’ve personally followed this Japan itinerary during one of my trips, so I can confidently say the sequence of activities is both practical and enjoyable!

Planning your Japan Trip: Things to know before you go
How to get a Japan Tourist Visa
Depending on your passport, it might be necessary to obtain a visa and other essential travel documents to enter Japan. Visit the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan for detailed requirements and the visa application process, if applicable.
For Philippine passport holders, getting a Japan Tourist Visa is pretty easy and cheap. First, you must complete the requirements set by the Japanese Embassy. Second, choose among the accredited travel agencies to lodge your application. If this is your first time in Japan, check out my detailed post about my Japan Visa Application.

📢 Announcement from the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines (as of January 13, 2025)
Due to the significant increase in the number of visitors from the Philippines, the processing time for tourist visa applications may take several weeks longer than usual. To avoid delays, applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their visa applications at least two months before their intended travel date.
How much does it cost to travel to Japan
I’ve been asked this question many times. So, let’s talk money. The currency in Japan is called Japanese Yen (JPY). Like other countries, prices depend on the season. The type of travel has a huge impact to your budget as well.
Based on my previous trips, I created this estimate for various budget ranges. If you are a budget traveler, you can manage with 10,000-20,000 yen per day. This covers all essentials like budget hostels, meals, and public transport.
For a more comfortable experience, consider a budget of 30,000-50,000 yen per day. This allows for business hotels, mid-range hostels or ryokans, more dining options, and paid activities.
For those seeking luxury, plan for 50,000 yen or more per day. This includes top-notch hotels in the city centers, diverse dining options, private transport, and activities.
Type | Accommodation | Food | Transportation | Activities |
Budget | JPY 2,000 – 5,000 | JPY 2,000 – 3,000 | JPY 500 – 1,000 | JPY 0 – 1,500 |
Mid-range | JPY 6,000 – 15,000 | JPY 5,000 – 10,000 | JPY 1,500 – 3,000 | JPY 1,500 – 10,000 |
Luxury | over JPY 15,000 | over JPY 10,000 | over JPY 3,000 | over JPY 10,000 |
The photo on the right shows my actual travel expenses from my recent Japan trip during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. My budget for the entire 11-day Japan itinerary, starting in Osaka and ending in Tokyo, was 120,000 pesos, but I ended up spending 113,712 pesos (USD 2,000 or JPY 311,000). Although exchange rates have fluctuated over the past few months, this should still be relevant. It can be useful if you want to see where the major portions of the budget go when planning a trip to Japan.

How to get to Japan
From the Philippines
Travelers from the Philippines can choose from several airlines that operate direct flights to Japan. Airlines like Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Jetstar, and All Nippon Airways (ANA) offer direct connections to popular Japanese cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.
Japan round-trip tickets can go for as low as PHP 3,000 (USD 60) during seat sale promos. To get these cheap flights, check any airline’s website (Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, Jetstar and AirAsia) during holidays (on or before 12 midnight). Make sure to follow their social media pages and sign up for their newsletter for seat sale announcements. I have also found cheap flights just by scouring Skyscanner whenever.
For my first trip in Japan, I got my tickets from Jetstar, which costs PHP 13,183.85 (USD 230) round-trip without baggage allowance. It was expensive, but worth it because the travel date was just in time for the sakuras. For my Japan itinerary in 2024 (Eras Tour in Tokyo), I got my tickets again from Jetstar, which costs PHP 15,000 (USD 270) round-trip with baggage allowance and seats selection.

From the US
For travelers from the United States, direct flights to major cities in Japan, such as Tokyo and Osaka, are readily available from various international airports. Major airlines like Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) operate frequent flights, offering convenience and accessibility.
From Europe
Travelers from Europe can reach Japan through direct flights from major European cities, including London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam. Airlines like British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa, and KLM provide efficient connections to cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Connecting flights are also available through various hubs, offering flexibility in travel options.
How to get around Japan
Japan’s railway map with god-knows-how-many different colored lines looks intimidating. However, the railway and bus systems in Japan are remarkably easy to master. And because it is so well-connected, there are very few places in the city that are not located close to a train station. Tokyo’s JR Yamanote line is a good example.
Essential Travel Apps
Japan Travel App by NAVITIME is an essential tool for navigating your trip. It covers all forms of public transportation, including Japan Rail (JR), subway lines, airlines, taxis, and ferry services. One of its standout features is the ability to filter routes based on the rail passes you have, helping you determine if your pass covers your planned journey. Don’t leave for Japan without it!
Another must-have app for your trip to Japan is Google Maps. But don’t just download the app, download the entire city map to your phone. This way, you can navigate easily while minimizing mobile data usage. I highly recommend doing this for every city you plan to visit. It’s a simple yet effective way to ensure you always have access to directions, even if your internet connection is spotty.

JR Pass
If this is your first time in Japan, you should know about the JR Pass. Minna, this is your ticket to see the entire country. This pass can be purchased outside/inside Japan and need to be exchanged in one of the JR offices upon your arrival. The ordinary 7 day Japan Rail Pass is currently priced at JPY 50,000 (PHP 19,800 or USD 350). Depending on your Japan itinerary, this can pay-off.
Hokuriku Arch Pass
Hokuriku Arch Pass is a rail pass similar to the JR pass. It also provides unlimited travel on JR trains (Hokuriku Shinkansen, limited express trains and local trains) between Tokyo and Osaka but via the less traveled Hokuriku Region. The pass is valid for seven consecutive days. For only JPY 30,000 (cheaper the JR pass), it stands out as a budget-friendly alternative for hassle-free travel in Japan. It would be of great value if you will do a round trip between Tokyo and Osaka via Kanazawa.
Shinkansen (Bullet Trains)
Traveling between Osaka and Tokyo, you should consider riding a bullet train. The Tokaido Shinkansen, covering over 500 km, is the most popular among the network’s 9 lines, connecting Tokyo to Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka at speeds up to 285 km/h. If you are not going to get a JR pass, opt for an individual Shinkansen ticket, granting access to the bullet train, including Nozomi (the fastest bullet train). For just $100, enjoy a swift 2-hour, 20-minute journey from Osaka to Tokyo.
Travel Tip: Book your bullet train tickets with Klook and get up to 5% off when you use my code PROJECTGORAKLOOK.
How to stay connected in Japan (important!)
Staying connected at all times will make navigating and exploring the country so much easier. Whether it’s looking up train schedules, translating signs, or finding the best restaurants nearby, having internet access is a game-changer. Here are a few options to consider for staying online:
- eSIM with Unlimited Data – With an eSIM, there’s no need to insert a physical SIM card into your phone, which means you can keep your original SIM active and still receive calls and texts from your home country, especially those important OTPs.
- Physical SIM Card with Unlimited Data – It provides reliable mobile data and is easy to use—just insert it into your unlocked smartphone. For added convenience, you can pre-order a SIM card through online booking platforms like Klook and pick it up upon arrival at your chosen airport.
- Pocket WiFi with Unlimited Data – Recommended if you’re traveling with a group or have multiple devices. You can easily book one online and pick it up at the airport upon arrival. However, I still recommend supplementing this with an eSIM or physical SIM card. In case your group gets split up for any reason, having individual connections ensures you can stay in touch and won’t lose access to the internet. Happened to me so I know! Lol!

Where to stay in Japan
Best Places to Stay in Osaka
- For Solo and Budget Travelers: Hostel Mitsuwaya Osaka is just a brief 6-7 minute walk from the metro station. It provides easy access to the city’s most famous attractions, and it has plenty of dining options around.
- For Couples and Small Family: Hotel Hiyori Osaka Namba Station is one of the best mid-range hotels in Osaka. The hotel is centrally located, just 1-2 minute walk from Namba Station. It’s also just 10 minute walk to Dotonbori.
- For Families and Groups: Mimaru Osaka Namba Station offers easy access to numerous attractions and dining options, all within walking distance from Namba Station and Nippombashi Station. This is a popular hotel chain in Japan known for their spacious rooms with comfortable living and kitchen spaces.

The Best Places to Stay in Kyoto
- For Solo and Budget Travelers: Piece Hostel Sanjo is located between Sanjo and Karasuma Oike stations. There’s a PiPPA bike rental, which is located right out front for those looking to explore Kyoto by bicycle. As a solo traveler, I can say it’s one of the best places to stay in for exploring Kyoto.
- For Couples: Sowaka is a luxury ‘ryokan’ located in Gion, one of Japan’s most enchanting locales. This hotel seamlessly blends the timeless traditions of a Japanese guesthouse with contemporary luxury.
- For Families and Groups: Mimaru Kyoto Station is one of the best hotels in Kyoto. This Mimaru property offers immediate access to diverse dining options, as well as train and bus connections to neighboring regions like Osaka and Nara. Their rooms provide ample space compared to typical Japanese hotels.
Best Places to Stay in Tokyo
- For Solo and Budget Travelers: Almont Hotel Nippori is just a short walk from JR Nippori Station, the station with direct airport access (Skyliner). Having stayed here before, I can say that it offers superb value at less than 13,000 yen for two. Their breakfast buffet is great!
- For Couples and Small Family: Shibuya Stream Excel Hotel Tokyu is located in Shibuya, the hub of business, fashion, and entertainment. This hotel provides direct access to JR Shibuya Station (3-minute walk), connecting you to Tokyo’s major attractions.
- For Families and Groups: Mimaru Tokyo Shinjuku West is a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station and 2-minute walk from the Washington Hotel airport limousine bus stop. They have spaciousrooms, making it an excellent choice for families. My previous stay with my friends (a group of four) was nothing short of fantastic so I highly recommend this hotel.
Japan Itinerary: Explore Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo in 10 Days
Top Tourist Spots & Activities in Japan

Mt. Fuji Day Trip from Tokyo
I highly recommend visiting Mt. Fuji to first-time visitors in Japan. Aside from the Fuji Five Lakes region, don’t miss the awe-inspiring view from Tenku-no Torii (Torii gate in the sky), a serene spot built for prayers to Mt. Fuji. Accessible by a short drive or a scenic 30-minute walk from Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, it offers a unique perspective of Japan’s highest peak.

Breakfast Tour in Tsukiji Market
As a frequent traveler in Japan, I highly recommend this experience for first-timers. Indulge in the freshest sushi, savor unique Japanese flavors, and witness the lively market atmosphere. It’s a culinary adventure that captures the essence of Japanese culture and sets the perfect tone for your day of exploration.

Visit Osaka Castle
If you’re a first-time visitor to the Kansai region in Japan, Osaka Castle is an essential stop. While the castle stands as a marvel, the surrounding parks are worth visiting especially during cherry blossom season or autumn. It’s a perfect blend of historical richness and natural splendor.

Tokyo DisneySea
One of the best things to do on your trip to Japan as a first time visitor is to spend a day or two at Tokyo DisneySea. I wasn’t a big fan of theme parks until I got to visit DisneySea in 2017 with my friends. The dialogue in performances, pre-show videos and such were in Japanese, so it might be confusing at first. Still, every attraction is worth going into!

Self-Guided Walking Tour in Kyoto
You should definitely add Kyoto in your Japan itinerary. If you have limited time, 2-3 days will give you a glimpse of the city’s timeless beauty and cultural richness. Lots of tourists flock Kyoto daily, so make sure to start really early. Better yet, book your hotel in Kyoto so you have more chances to explore the city when the day trippers depart.

Food Trip in Osaka’s Dotonbori
I am pretty sure you’ve seen all those TikTok videos about Osaka’s Dotonbori street. Some will probably say it’s too touristy, but for me, it’s a great introduction to Osaka’s food culture. If you book you hotel in Osaka, I suggest to spend all your evenings here. There are lots of food choices and shopping options here!

Maiko Transformation in Kyoto
One of the most memorable things I did in Japan was becoming a Maiko for a day. If you are curious to know what’s it like being one, then experience the traditional maiko makeover process inside a Maiko studio in Kyoto! Stroll through the streets of Kyoto in style while getting your picture taken. Channel your inner Sumire from The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House (Netflix) or Chiyo from Memoirs of a Geisha!

Kimono Rental in Kyoto
If Maiko Transformation is a bit too much for you, then wear a kimono while strolling around the historic streets of Kyoto! Most of the rental shops in Kyoto are near the temples or shrines so it won’t be a problem to get around on foot. You can avail a basic kimono package or go all out and have your hair and make up professionally done too.

Universal Studios Japan
If you are a Potterhead, then you should definitely include Universal Studios Japan in your Japan itinerary. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is inside USJ, so you should spend a whole day here. Tickets are from JPY 7,315 (JPY 7,900 with tax) per adult and JPY 5,000 per child ages 4-11 (JPY 5,400 with tax). A timed-entry ticket may be necessary for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter during peak season.
Where to Shop in Japan
Despite having a reputation as an expensive destination, Japan offers tax-free shopping for foreigners. Don Quijote, aka Donki, offers a wide range of stuff from pharmacy supplies to costumes. Daiso, with most items priced at 100 JPY, is a treasure trove spanning food, skincare products, and more. My personal favorite, Seria, offers a classy 100 Yen Shop experience with skincare, accessories, ceramics, and scrapbooking materials. For skincare and cosmetics, Japanese pharmacies are a must-visit, and thrift stores hold vintage treasures.
Where to Eat in Japan
Japan offers a wide variety of dining options for every budget and taste. As a first time visitor, you can prioritize the following:
- Japanese Wagyu is a must-try, so get them at top-rated wagyu places like Miyazaki-kan in Osaka or Ishida Steakhouse in Kobe.
- Enjoy sushi at kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi places) like Sushiro and Hama Sushi.
- Visit izakayas for small plates and drinks.
- Explore street food markets such as Dotonbori in Osaka.
- Get gourmet meals and specialty desserts at Depachika (department store food halls).
- For long train rides (bullet trains), get ekiben (bento boxes) at train stations.
Of course, Japanese convenience stores (konbini) should absolutely be a part of your Japan itinerary. I always start and end my day at a konbini to grab affordable and delicious snacks or essentials. Here’s a tip: stick to 7-Eleven. They consistently offer the best selection, from fresh onigiri to desserts. While FamilyMart and Lawson are decent alternatives, in my experience, they just don’t measure up to the quality and variety that 7-Eleven provides.

With this Japan itinerary, is a Japan Rail Pass worth it?
If you are going to follow this Japan itinerary (arriving in Osaka and departing in Tokyo or vice versa), then JR pass will not pay off. If you are going to different prefectures within a week (multiple bullet train rides), then it may be worth it. I highly suggest coming up with an itinerary first then calculate your train ticket costs using the JR pass calculator.

Which pass is useful for this 10-day Japan Itinerary?
For Osaka and Kyoto
I recommend using an IC card (like Icoca, Suica, or Pasmo) along with day passes such as the Osaka Amazing Pass (Osaka e-Pass) and Kyoto Sightseeing Pass. These make getting around super easy and cost-effective. If you’re planning to venture from Osaka or Kyoto to Kobe, Himeji, Nara, or Mount Koya, the Kansai Railway Pass (formerly the Kansai Thru Pass) is a great option. It provides unlimited travel on non-JR trains and subways and can be used on non-consecutive days.
For Osaka to Shirakawa-go then Tokyo
Consider getting a Hokuriku Arch Pass if you’re making a round trip from Osaka/Tokyo. It costs 30,000 yen and provides unlimited rides on JR trains, which can be a great value. If you’re ending your journey in Tokyo, you can book individual tickets for the JR Thunderbird Limited Express and the JR Hokuriku Shinkansen at the station or online.
For Tokyo
If your accommodation is near a subway station, the Tokyo Subway Ticket is your best bet, covering all Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines for 24, 48, or 72 hours. If you’re closer to a JR station, go for the Tokunai Pass (JPY 760) for unlimited rides on local and rapid JR East trains within the 23 Special Wards of Tokyo. However, I still recommend getting an IC card such as Suica, Icoca, or Pasmo in case you need to take a train not covered by your pass.

Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know Thank you.
sure! feel free to share my post with your group 🙂
May I ask why you opt to not include Nara park in your itinerary?
Japan is a beautiful country
Thanks so much for sharing this article, I enjoyed reading, Japan is beautiful country.
Waah! Mommy you found my blog! 🙂 Download nyo po yung excel kasi nandun lahat ng expenses namin. Also, use Hyperdia to calculate transpo costs. PM nyo lang po ako if you have questions. Miss you mommy! ^_^
How to download the excel file po?
Hi can i ask copy of that excel file please.. It will help me really on our preparations. thank you
Hello Ivy Mae. I don’t have an excel file for my 2024 trip. I only have TravelSpend, which I have posted in the above section “How much does it cost to travel to Japan” 🙂
Milet! We're planning to go there next spring. Good thing you have this blog as my guide from expenses to practically everything!
You definitely should visit Japan soon! It's a different world out there! You'll find lots of places to do #OOTD pose, which I think you will love! ^_^
I’m loving you blog. Beautiful pictures and you look super cute in that outfit. Gah. Japan. I haven’t seen it. 🙁
Aww sayang naman! Why not try this coming autumn? I bet it would be magical with all the maple leaves 🙂 And they say autumn season is less crowded compared to spring 🙂
nakakainggit! we were suppose to travel to japan too with my inlaws but unfortunately, we were unable to make it in time, we lacked time with the preparation of docs. I love your harry potter adventure! im a fan too but im more excited to see hp than the cherry blossoms. hehehe
Great post, very informative!
Thanks for sharing this helpful info.
I’m glad you find it very informative 🙂
Watch out for it! ^_^
hope to see your blog post of shirakawa-go soon 🙂
Glad this will help Edelweiza! 🙂 It's actually best to go now or just reserve Japanese yen because the exchange rate favors PHP compared to previous years. Last year, 7-day JR pass costs around 13-14K and now it only costs 11K. 🙂
Thank you for this! I want to go to Japan also (but not in the very near future) and this very detailed and informative budget guide will surely help me plan for it. 🙂
Wow that’s great! Though there are so many tourists in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I bet you will still have a wonderful time! 🙂
sis! super helpful! we’re planning our japan uss too for harry potter haha! 🙂
I love the graphic detailed of the budget! Galing! Cute ng mga keychains! So kawaii!
Wow! Very detailed! Bookmarked for future reference. 🙂
Shirakawa-go is one of the highlights of our trip. I actually had no idea this village existed if not for Japan Guide website. And when I saw your pictures of the Winter Light-up, I got excited and determined to include this in our itinerary. This part was the most challenging to plan but it was easier than I expected when we got there. 🙂
Hi Milet! 80K for the whole trip is not bad at all, considering all the places you’ve visited! Looking forward to reading your travel entries! 🙂
Hello Milet! I’m so happy that you included Shirakawa-go and Takayama on your itinerary. Not a lot of travelers visit those places! I can’t wait to see you post soon!
