Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Rent a car when traveling in Japan, especially with a small child, to carry all your stuff and have flexibility.
βœ“Use IC cards or credit cards for parking payments, as many lots use honor systems with cameras and machines.
βœ“Visit attractions early to avoid crowds, as seen with the chairlift on Mount Omuro.
