Japan Has Changed | Top 9 New Things to Know Before Traveling to Japan in 2025
Japan is becoming one of the hottest travel destinations right now! In October 2024, Japan welcomed 3.31 million international visitors—a 31.6% increase compared to last year and a 32.7% rise from pre-pandemic 2019. For 10 consecutive months, Japan has hit record-breaking visitor numbers for those months.
With this surge in tourism, Japan has been undergoing some major changes that will definitely affect your trip—some good and some challenging.
On the positive side, new international flights have started in the Kansai area, exclusive bus passes for foreign tourists have been introduced, and Tokyo Metro now offers multilingual services at all stations!
But there are also some challenges you should know about. For example, certain services no longer accept cash, travel congestion during neighboring countries’ holidays is increasing, and some ferry routes to Japan have been suspended.
That’s why, in this video, I’ve summarized the top 9 new things you need to know before traveling to Japan in 2025.
This video is packed with tips and updates to make your trip smoother, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
