Japan has streamlined its visa process for indian travellers with the introduction of evisas. here's your quick guide to the hassle-free application process..

Indian passport holders no longer need to carry a physical visa sticker to travel to Japan. From April 1, Japan began issuing eVisas to Indian travellers. The much-awaited Japan e-Visa programme allows anyone to apply for a visa electronically through Japan Visa Application Centres operated by VFS Global. This programme allows visitors to enter Japan for up to 90 days for tourism purposes.

The e-Visa process requires travellers to present a 'visa issuance notice' on their mobile device upon arrival at the airport. It's important to note that internet access is required for this process. Any format other than a digital visa issuance notice, including PDFs, photos, screenshots or printed copies, will not be considered valid.

What are the eligibility criteria

Citizens and residents of the following countries and regions are eligible: Brazil, Taiwan, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Cambodia, Saudi Arabia, USA. Additionally, Indian citizens and foreign nationals residing in India are also included in the eligibility criteria. Residents of these countries or regions, with exceptions for those exempt from short-term visas, can apply for an eVisa through the Japan e-Visa website.

How to apply

Here's a step-by-step guide to the application process:

Step 1: To initiate the application process, individuals should access the official website of the Japan Visa Application Centre, managed by VFS Global, by visiting https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/jpn/.

Step 2: Choose the "Temporary Visitor Visa" option and review all visa requirements carefully. Download the application form, fill it out accurately, and print it. Ensure all fields are completed. Additionally, prepare photocopies of the required documents for the single-entry short-term tourism visa.

Step 3: Schedule an appointment to submit your application at the Visa Application Centre. Once booked, you'll receive a confirmation email for your appointment, which will include the letter of appointment.

Step 4: Submit your completed visa application form at the center during your appointment. Then, wait for an email notification informing you when your decision is ready for collection. You can track the progress of your visa application online using the reference number provided on your invoice or receipt. Approved applicants for the eVisa will receive an electronic visa instead of a physical visa sticker. However, travelers are required to show a "visa issuance notice" on their mobile devices upon arrival at the airport.

Step 5: At the airport check-in, display the "visa issuance notice" on your device. The travel agency will furnish a "Visa Issuance Notice" inclusive of a two-dimensional barcode.

Japan reopens: 5 things to know for travellers

By Condé Nast Traveller

After shutting its borders down to international arrivals in April 2020, Japan is finally completely open to foreign travellers from 11 October. In December 2021, border restrictions were relaxed but only for specific categories of travellers like students, business travellers and those arriving on compassionate grounds. Starting today, the Japanese government has announced the resumption of individual travel for tourism, and the elimination of the daily cap of 50,000 arrivals. Here are five things you need to know.

5 things to know about Japan’s reopening

Before you travel.

You will either need a valid vaccination certificate or a negative pre-departure COVID test (taken within 72 hours prior to departure) to enter Japan. Your vaccination certificate should show that you have received three doses of a WHO-approved vaccine (both Covishield and Covaxin are accepted). You will also need to fill out a questionnaire about your travel history before arriving in the country. You will need to answer questions about flights , accommodation in Japan, countries you have visited in the past 14 days and contact details.

Install the MySOS app to answer the questionnaire and register your vaccination certificate or negative test. The screen will turn blue when all your information is submitted and the authorities’ review is complete and red if there’s a problem with your application. If you apply at least six hours prior to your flight’s scheduled arrival time, your review will be completed before you arrive. You can show this to authorities at the airport and show the QR code at Immigration and Customs at the airport.

Visas for Indians

The suspension of visas which was issued in December 2021 will be lifted from 00.00 JST on 11 October, 2022. So, if you hold a valid visa, you can travel with it. While arrivals from some countries can avail visa on arrival facilities, Indian travellers need to apply for a Japan visa prior to their travel. You can apply for your Japan visa on VFS Global. You will no longer need an Entrants, Returnees Follow-up System (ERFS) certificate—a COVID tracking system previously used by Emergency Assistance Japan—and VFS will begin processing all tourism, business, employment, single, double and multiple entry visas . Previous multiple-entry visa holders whose visas are valid (3 years/5 years) will also be able to travel.

Covid protocol in Japan

When in Japan, you don’t need to wear a mask indoors or outdoors when you are about 2 metres away from others. However, it is advisable to wear a mask in crowded areas like public transport or shopping complexes. In case you experience COVID-19 symptoms when in Japan, contact the Japan Visitor Hotline . The government recommends getting travel insurance that covers medical expenses related to COVID-19 before you travel to Japan. You will have to bear the cost quarantine if you test positive for COVID-19 in Japan.

VietJet Air, Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines fly from Delhi to Japan in November, via Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. One way tickets start at Rs28,478.

Japanese cuisine offers a wide variety, with must-try dishes including sushi, sashimi, ramen, tempura, udon, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, kaiseki (traditional multi-course meal), miso soup, tonkatsu, and matcha-flavoured sweets. Each dish showcases unique flavours and culinary artistry.

Japan introduces e-Visa for Indian tourists: Top 5 places to visit in the island country

Japan is a country that has something for everyone, from bustling cities to serene countryside, from ancient temples to modern technology. with the introduction of e-visa, now is the perfect time for indian tourists to plan a trip to this beautiful island country..

Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, is a must-visit for any traveller. This bustling metropolis is a perfect blend of old and new, with its traditional temples and shrines sitting alongside modern skyscrapers. One of the main attractions of Tokyo is the Shibuya Crossing, known as the busiest intersection in the world. Other must-visit places in Tokyo include the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and the famous shopping districts of Ginza and Harajuku.

Known as the cultural capital of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and traditions. It is home to numerous temples, shrines, and gardens that give visitors a glimpse into Japan's past. The most famous attraction in Kyoto is the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its iconic orange torii gates lining the hiking trails up to Mount Inari. Other must-visit places in Kyoto include the Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji), Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and Gion district where you can spot geishas walking around.

Osaka is Japan's third-largest city and is known for its vibrant nightlife and delicious street food. It is also home to some of Japan's most famous tourist attractions such as Osaka Castle, which dates back to the 16th century and provides stunning views of the city from its observation deck. The Dotonbori district is a must-visit for food lovers, with its endless array of street food vendors and restaurants. You can also visit Universal Studios Japan, one of the most popular theme parks in the country.

No trip to Japan is complete without a visit to Mount Fuji, the country's highest mountain. Located about 100 kilometres from Tokyo, Mount Fuji is an active volcano that has become a symbol of Japan. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is clear and you can catch a glimpse of the iconic snow-capped peak. You can also hike to the summit, but it is recommended to do so with a guide.

Hiroshima is a city that holds immense historical significance for Japan. It was devastated during World War II when it was hit by an atomic bomb. Today, it serves as a reminder of the horrors of war and promotes peace and reconciliation. The Peace Memorial Park and Museum are must-visit places in Hiroshima, where you can learn about the city's tragic past and pay tribute to its victims.

A 12-Day Detailed Itinerary For Japan Under ₹80,000 Trip Cost

I was always fancied by Japan in multiple ways. And after having been enticed by its culture and food through videos for over a year, I finally decided to experience its intrinsic culture in person. From a truly delectable traditional cuisine to the awe-inspiring Bullet train, it is amazing how Japan has managed to tie tradition and modernity with a single thread. It’s a perfect place for solo travellers, friends, couples and even families. Despite the language barrier, Japan surely knows how to mesmerize you. 

So, if you’re someone who has been fascinated by Japanese culture, or if you’ve grown up watching Anime, then count me as your friend! I am Yogita Chainani, a travel lover, and I went for a 12-day trip to Japan along with my sister in April 2019. We went to Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara, and this is how we planned our trip at ₹80,000. Here is our itinerary for Japan. 

Things To Keep In Mind While Planning A Trip To Japan

Flight Cost: We were tracking the flight costs for over a month before finally booking it. We booked the flight tickets through SkyScanner, and the return flights cost us ₹ 26,000 per person. 

Visa: When it comes to Visa, the process was quite simple. We paid ₹500 per person for a single entry visa, which was valid for a month.

Also Read: Japanese Visa for Indians, Indian Passport: Types, Application Fee, Form, Requirements And Visa On Arrival

Stay: Keeping the budget in mind, we chose to stay in a hostel over a hotel. For Tokyo, we booked the DEN hostel, which is nestled in the Kanda area of Tokyo and is around 50 minutes from Haneda airport. While travelling for 6 nights and 7 days, we paid ₹10,000 per head, which is decent for the quality of the place. In Kyoto, we booked the Len Kyoto hostel, and for 4 nights and 5 days where we paid ₹8,000 per head. As for Nara, we made a day trip, so we didn’t have to make any bookings. We used the HostelWorld app to book both the hostels. 

Transfers: Travelling in and around Japan is expensive. Hence, to save up on the travelling cost, we had bought a Japan Rail Pass for ₹18,000. The pass covered most of our travel expenses in the country. Right from local JR lines to selected Bullet train rides, everything got covered with this pass. Apart from this, for private buses and metros, we spent an additional ₹5,000 per person. For transfers from the airport to the hostel in Tokyo, we took a limousine bus, which cost ₹650 per person. 

Food: We set a budget, and roughly spent ₹4,000 (₹2,000 per person), which is about 6000 Japanese yen on food per day. Sometimes it was a bit more, and sometimes it was less. So, our overall food cost was ₹ 20,000 per person, which also included drinks. 

Best Time to Visit Japan: Japan is known for its Cherry Blossom season and if you intend to visit this futuristic country, then plan your trip between March-May. Not only March to May, but September to January is also an ideal time to visit Japan. The weather is quite pleasant, humidity is low, and the cold climate makes it easy for travellers to explore the place throughout the day. I travelled to Japan in April, and here’s my 12-days, day by day itinerary.

We boarded the 11PM flight from Terminal 2- Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai to Singapore Changi Airport, from where we took a connecting flight to Haneda Airport, Japan. We flew with Singapore Airlines, and I must say, it’s my favourite. The flight from Mumbai to Singapore was about 5 hours and 40 minutes. We had about an hour and 10 minutes of layover in Singapore, and the flight from here to Haneda was about 7 hours and 30 minutes. After reaching Haneda airport, we cleared our immigration, activated our Japan Rail Pass and took a limousine bus to reach Tokyo. The bus ticket cost us ₹630 per person. 

We checked in the hostel, DEN, on Day 1 and passed out immediately. The next day, we woke up early with the faint rays of the sun, got ready and spoke to our hostel manager, who guided us to the nearest metro station. Kanda metro station was at a walking distance from the hostel. On our way, we grabbed some hot coffee, sandwiches and a bottle of water from a nearby Seven-Eleven. These are convenience stores that are open 24×7. 

I must say Seven-Eleven is a hit in Japan, and right from a cup of Joe to hearty Ramen meals, you can find everything at an affordable rate. After sipping some coffee, we took a train to Harajuku station. Our first spot of the day was Takeshita Dori, which is located at a walking distance from Harajuku. 

Takeshita Dori will take you one step closer to the famous Japanese Pop and Kawaii Culture. Right from street artists to a plethora of picturesque cafes and side stalls, Takeshita is a street that you cannot miss. And while you are there, don’t forget to try the delicious crepes. From Chocolate to Bacon Crepe, there are tonnes of options to choose from. We had a lip-smacking crepe at Santa Monica Crepe, and it was worth every bite.

After spending a good 2-3 hours in Takeshita Dori, we explored the Harajuku area of Tokyo. For lunch, we kept it light and ate some Mozzarella Sticks from a roadside stall while sipping on some famous Japanese bubble tea. At around 5PM, we headed to the famous Meiji Jingu Shrine, which is known for its unmatchable beauty. The entry to the shrine is free, and the entrance from the massive Torii gate for this shrine will inevitably transport you to a different world.

After getting bewitched by the spellbinding magnificence of this shrine, we made our way back to Harajuku. We went for dinner to Cafe Lagoon in Harajuku and ended our night on a merry note. Post that- we headed back to our accommodation. 

For us, Day 3 was all about exploring the culture of Japan. Hence, we decided to explore the Asakusa area of Tokyo. We grabbed some coffee from Seven-Eleven and headed to Kanda station to board a metro for Asakusa. We got down at Asakusa station and walked for 10 minutes to reach the pristine Sensoji Temple and I can never forget that sight. Sensoji is one of the oldest temples in Japan, and the entry to the temple is free. 

We walked around the temple, observed the locals for a while and headed to Nakamise Dori, which was just 2 minutes from the Sensoji Temple. 

Nakamise Dori is known for its local cuisine, souvenirs shops and also gives you a stellar view of the Tokyo sky tree. By the time we finished exploring the street, it was already lunchtime. So we gave local Japanese cuisines a try and savoured some red bean, Hello Kitty Pancakes and Ramen in Nakamise Dori.

Post that, we headed straight to the Tourist Information Center of Japan, which again was a short walk from the temple. Tourist Information is also famous as an observatory. The entry to the observatory was free.

We bought some coffee from the cafe and observed the magnificent Tokyo skyline from the top. It was around 6:30 pm, and we decided to explore more of Asakusa. We manoeuvred around the area and headed back to the hostel by 12:30 am. 

After spending three glorious days in Japan, Tokyo had already become home. We woke up with lots of excitement, chit-chatted with our fellow hostellers and ventured out to visit the famous and the most luxurious street of Japan, Ginza. Right from Louis Vuitton to Prada, you’ll find all the high-end stores in here. We shopped a bit from Gap and Adidas, we got some top-notch quality products at insane prices.

After exploring Ginza, we went to Shibuya. While Shibuya is known for the world-famous Shibuya Crossing, it’s also known for Hachiko Statue, the beautiful Yoyogi Park and theme cafes. We explored the area, spent some time at Yoyogi Park and by that time, it was already evening. So we headed straight to witness the iconic Shibuya crossing- a crossing where hundreds of people – and at times thousands of people – cross at a time, coming from all directions at once.

Once done enjoying the Shibuya crossing, we shopped a bit from Zara and Forever 21 and headed to TGIF in Shibuya. We ate, shot some pictures for the gram and enjoyed the nightlife in Shibuya. 

On day 5, we decided to take it a bit slow. We chilled in our hostel for a while, interacted with fellow travellers from London, South Korea and Canada, and left the hostel at around 1PM for Shinjuku. We visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, which again is a famous observatory in Tokyo, and on a clear day, you get to witness the sight of Mount. Fuji from the observatory.

The entry to the observatory was free. We spent some time appreciating the majestic Tokyo skyline and then explored Shinjuku for a while before catching a bus for Akihabara.

If you love Anime and arcade games, then Akihabara is for you. I wanted to win at least one Dragonball toy, but I couldn’t, hard luck!  After the gaming session, we went to the famous Yodobashi Camera centre in Akihabara and shopped for some Bluetooth headphones. We ended the night by eating pizza, ramen and sipping some sake in Akihabara. 

This was the day when I shopped till I dropped, and I am not kidding. I had researched about outlet malls in Tokyo and had decided to buy things from there itself. The outlet mall was on the outskirts of Tokyo, but the ride was completely worth it. We boarded a train for Mitsui Outlet Mall at Tokyo Station and got down at Kaihin-Makuhari Station. From there the outlet mall was at a walking distance. There was a 60% off deal going on for all items in the mall. I treated myself to a Michael Kors wallet at flat 90% off.

We spent around 8 hours in the mall, and in the end, we were too exhausted to go anywhere else, so we ate something at McDonald’s, and headed back to our hostel.

It was our last day in Tokyo, and we wanted to make the most of it. We explored our neighbourhood, went to see the Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower.  For us, we didn’t buy a ticket for the observatory since we had already enjoyed a free view of the majestic skyline from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in Shinjuku. We visited a few cafes, tried some Matcha Ice Cream and headed back to the hostel.

The time had arrived to bid adieu to the vibrant city of Tokyo. With heavy hearts and a bucket full of memories to cherish for eternity, we checked out from our hostel, brought some snacks for our train ride and headed to Tokyo Station. And finally, we boarded the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto.

It was a smooth and pleasant ride, and guess what – the bullet train had wifi too!

We reached Kyoto at around 5PM, and from there caught a bus for Kawaramachi- the area where our hostel was. It was 6 pm when we reached the hostel, we checked in, freshened up, spoke to our roommates and headed out to explore the Kawaramachi area of Kyoto.

For dinner, we ate some food at the hostel bar and called it a night. 

After exploring the nightlife and pop culture of Tokyo, it was time to experience a mellow version of Japan by exploring its former capital, Kyoto. We had planned a list of things, and hence we ventured out at 7.30AM itself. 

We grabbed a bite from the nearby Seven-Eleven and headed straight to the salient Arashiyama’s Bamboo Forest. The forest is both locally famous and world-renowned and the entry is free.

From dense forests to cherry blossoms to throbbing autumn Kyoto colours, Arashiyama was a visual delight during this season. We explored the tranquil forest area and visited a few other spots in the nearby locality.

Post that we headed to the famous Nishiki Market. Almost 400 years old, this place is a fresh food market and is lined with over a hundred restaurants and shops. The market was lively and allowed us to taste Japan’s culinary culture at its finest. After savouring some food and drinking some OG bubble tea, we headed back to our hostel, which was at a walking distance from the market.

We left early and headed to Fushimi Inari. This place is known for its tunnels of more than 10,000 closely-spaced orange torii gates that wind over the hills of Mt. Inari beyond the entrance to the shrine.

One can also dress like Geisha and explore this beautiful place. We went a bit late to this place and couldn’t grab good pictures.  But if you want to take some fab shots for the gram, then try visiting this place as early as possible.

After getting spellbind by the captivating beauty of this place, we headed to the famous Gion district of Kyoto. We manoeuvred around and got to know more about Geisha culture while exploring some beautiful alleys of Gion district.

We celebrated our time in Kyoto by tasting some Japanese beer and absorbed the traditional culture on the banks of Kyoto’s scenic main waterway. Post that, we went to the famous Pontocho Alley, where traditional culture and Geisha still thrive.

It was officially our last day in Kyoto. And since we were short on time, we boarded a train to Nara, which is known for its slow-paced life. On the way to Nara, we enjoyed the sight of the beautiful fields and quaint villages of Japan.

We visited the famous Kasuga Grand Shrine and also explored the old  Nara market. After exploring the streets of Nara for a few hours, we headed back to Kyoto. Post that, we ate something, packed our bags and slept early that day. 

We checked out of our hostel in Kyoto and headed to Kyoto station. We caught our bullet train for Tokyo station. After reaching Tokyo station, we again took an Airport liner for the Haneda Airport terminal. We spent the final few hours at the Haneda airport before bidding goodbye to the exalted country of Japan. 

Things I haven’t included: I went a bit crazy with shopping, so haven’t included the detailed pricing for the same.

Final Thoughts on Japan:

Japan has been exceptional in distinct ways. Just in 13 days, this country managed to give me the memories of a lifetime.

Japan will always have my heart. It is a country that taught me language is just a medium of communication. And people can still help each other without knowing the language. The amicable town of Kyoto made me fall in love with the culture, while Tokyo made me feel livelier than ever.

Things To Remember: 

We wanted to visit Robot Cafe, but couldn’t, because we didn’t know that the tickets had to be booked online at least 15 days in advance. So if you intend to visit Robot Cafe, book your tickets in advance. 

If you are planning to go in March or April, do carry a thick jacket and an umbrella with you. The weather gets unpredictable at times, and you don’t want to freeze in the cold. 

We visited Japan in April, which is also a month where people across the country get a one-week holiday, it’s known as their Golden week. Hence, we skipped crowded cafes and Disneyland. 

People in Japan are warm, helpful and kind. So when in doubt, always ask for help! 

Lastly, do not litter on the streets and trains; it’s highly looked down upon. Also, if possible, avoid taking calls on the train- it’s considered a bit rude.

Can Indians apply for a Japan visa on arrival?

Indian citizens cannot apply for a Japan visa on arrival. Japan does not offer visa-on-arrival facilities for Indians and, therefore, requires you to apply for a visa on Atlys or directly at an application centre.

Japan visa requirements for Indian nationals

When you start your visa application online, ensure you have the following:

A valid passport : An Indian passport valid for at least 6 months after departure.

Passport copy: A copy of your passport's front and last page, arranged to fit on a single page.

Photos : Two recent passport-sized photos with a white background.

Required documents you need to submit at the embassy:

Passport : Provide copies of all your past and current passports. Your physical passports must be presented.

When applying for your visa, it is crucial to apply within the correct jurisdiction based on your residence in India. Atlys will facilitate submitting your application to the appropriate Japan Embassy/Consulate in Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai, depending on your passport jurisdiction.

The concept of passport jurisdiction refers to the requirement that your visa application be processed by the embassy or consulate that serves the area where you live. It's not possible to submit your application to an embassy other than the one designated for your region, and doing so will result in a visa rejection.

Atlys will submit your passport and documents to the correct jurisdiction based on your home address.

After Living In India All My Life, I Moved To Japan. This is My Story

It's impossible not to thank your lucky stars when such a massive opportunity knocks on your door; the opportunity to start making your travel memories and kick-starting your backpacking experiences from a place that has been capturing the fascination of millions of travelers around the world - Japan!! I still remember the indescribable feeling of joy and excitement I felt when I was asked to move to Japan and work from there, thereby giving me my first taste of life as an expatriate. So undoubtedly there were a lot of firsts and a lot of lasts, each contributing to the travel philosophies that I have been harboring ever since. But after all these years of backpacking across multiple countries around the world, I do realize that Japan is an entirely different world as viewed through the eyes of a traveler, just rushing through the country in a few days, than a person who is living in the society deeply enriched by interesting customs and traditions. So how much does an Indian feel at home when living in Japan - here are few of my personal experiences to help you understand that.

1. It's more than just a bunch of islands

Travel guides fail to see beyond the common stereotypes about Japan being a group of beautiful islands with lots of historic sites. Undeniably these are some of the most prominent and popular aspects of this nation, but this common stereotype is precisely the reason why I believe Japan is entirely different when experienced as an expatriate than as a backpacker.

In Japan you can find almost all the geographical landscapes that you can find on earth, even little deserts!! Ever heard of The Tottori Sand Dunes , anyone?

Tottori Sand Dunes

If you though these were Arabian sand dunes, you need to know so much more about Japan!! (c)NationalGeographic

In winter there are also hundreds of ski areas you can enjoy. In fact, the ski village of Zao in Yamagata prefecture is one of the few regions in the world where you can see Snow Monsters - unique snow deposit patterns on high altitudes!!

Yamagata Prefecture

Who said monsters aren't real? - Yamagata, Japan

There are thousands of points of interest other than Kyoto , Mt. Fuji or similar spots you can find on the guidebooks. I bet you’ll never forget what you can find in the Kushiro’s wetlands , which are rarely mentioned as one of the Hokkaido ’s view points. These are the kind of places you can easily get to know when you are living in Japan and talking to locals regularly.....did I say talking to the locals?

2. Language is the key - to everything

You might get lucky with sights like these when you get lost on a trail...or maybe not!! (c)Divas

Japanese language, though being as challenging as it is, is the key to survival in this island nation. During my initial days in Japan I have been lost on hiking trails, resorted to randomly selecting food from the Japanese menu in small street food shops and trusted Google translate to help me choose groceries from the local shops - all because I did not know how to read or speak in Japanese. As a backpacker I could easily navigate around these challenges, but doing it on a daily basis was definitely not practical.

Unless you want to restrict your social experiences and interactions to a handful of compatriots or native English speakers, I cannot stress on the need to learn Japanese enough before you come here. Even while travelling, having a basic knowledge of Japanese language and culture will dramatically influence your travel experiences here. Even simple things like choosing what to eat becomes challenging when there is no English-speaking help around, especially when you are a vegan or vegetarian - which brings me to my next point.

3. Look out for what you eat

When in Japan, appearances are often deceptive!! (c)Divas

While in Japan, I was around a lot of vegetarian and vegan Indian colleagues of mine, which made me aware and sensitive to the issues they faced. If you are under the impression that you have at least french-fries to give you company, then think again. It is really common to find almost all food items, unless you are 100% sure about it, cooked in fish oil or oil from other non-vegetarian sources. What may seem like a dish made up of only vegetables in first glance could probably contain non-vegetarian sauces or cooking oil. Therefore, your options are drastically reduced if you are a vegetarian living in Japan - unless you intend to cook all your meals by yourself. In contrast, I being a non vegetarian and sea food lover was in food haven for the time I was living there!!

A vegetarian delight, indeed!! (c)Chie Takemoto

But don't lose heart!! Shojin ryori , traditional Buddhist cuisine, is one of the most popular and delectable vegetarian cuisines you can easily find in Japan. Even the largest of restaurants review websites in Japan now has a category for Shojin Ryori. Japan also has a wide variety of excellent pasta on its menus, with a wide range of sauces. Japanese fruit and vegetables are often prepared in interesting ways to add an element of excitement - try a simple vegetable salad, for example. Also, good sushi shops can create a vegetarian menu for you if you ask beforehand.

I found this link really useful when selecting vegetarian dine-outs. Hopefully you will find it useful too!!

4. Default solo-travel mode - ON :

No matter how may times you have seen or heard about the smiling, cheerful and ever-so-helpful Japanese locals on online travel guides or videos, a few days is all it takes to understand that things are a little different from what you experience at first glance. Given how seriously Japanese feel about their social obligations, their caring and cheerful nature is their honest effort to present their best behavior during a social exchange, which does win your heart over.

Perfectly happy in their perfect personal spaces - difficulties of social assimilation in Japan (c)LiveJapan

However, the more time I spent in Japan the more I realized that assimilation and social integration here is so much more difficult, in-fact almost non-existent, as compared to other countries around the world. More often than not I was yearning for casual conversations with a local over topics as simple as weather or food!! If you think you have made friends with a local, more often than not the reality is substantially different from those in other countries. Japanese locals are generally less honest and open than what you may expect from a typical friend, preferring to keep things to themselves more often than not. That's one of the reasons why most of the English-speaking expats usually search for Gaijin pubs - pubs for foreigners, unless you are happy living in isolation. (I know generalization serves no great purpose, but some observations were glaringly obvious for me during my stay.)

Insider Tip : Given the impetus Japan is now giving to "mandatory" learning of English language, you will come across a lot of young dynamic Japanese locals who would be more than happy to practice their spoken English on you - and it works best when you have alcohol and food to give you company!! Wait for the night to descend over a weekend in a pub, let the inhibition meter drop down a few notches and now you can engage in truly exciting, sometimes memorable, conversations with the locals.

5. It's really, really safe here!!

You can be almost sure nobody is touching your belongings while you are away!! (c)KawasakiSnowCool

There were a lot of good things about living in Japan: safety, low crime rates, cleanliness and convenience to name a few. I have spent late nights on railway platforms and have seen female commuters wait patiently for the last subway on a deserted platform alone, without ever facing safety issues. Most Japanese are extremely honest as well - I once left my phone on a coffee table without realizing it and the person sitting next to me literally ran over to return to me when I left the store!! I still remember my first night in Japan when I got off the airport bus at the bus stop in the outskirts of Tokyo. Amidst the chaos of the city around me, I had lost my way around the streets even before I knew it. In that moment of panic I had approached two teenagers, with a small hope they might know about the hotel I had to reach. I will never ever forget that night - for they walked almost a mile leading the way, turning back every once in a while to make sure I was following them correctly and only left my side once I had checked into the hotel and taken the room key from the reception!!

It's very easy to let down your guard and ignore the impulses of common sense when living in such a safe and honest society, but that's a mistake many expats do and end up in isolated and rare unfortunate incidents. Growing up in India, we already have a very powerful social gauge built into us which you must keep handy when in tricky situations or circumstances where you have to trust the locals. The good thing is that you can keep the gauge on its minimum setting - worked wonders for me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can very well imagine, having had the privilege of living and observing such an intriguing, colorful and culturally rich society from such close quarters is definitely one of the most cherished moments of my life. More than the landscapes and the thrill of living in a country which is on the bucket list of many, Japan played a really prominent role in kick starting my backpacking journey and transforming my ideas about travelling in general. Needless to say, you need not think twice about spending some time in this island country - it will transform the way you look at the world!!

When is Eid al-Fitr 2024 and how is it celebrated?

The three-day festival celebrates the completion of the fasting month of Ramadan by Muslims across the world.

As a new moon was not sighted on Monday evening after Maghrib prayers, Muslims in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries will fast one more day, completing 30 days of Ramadan. The first day of Eid will then be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10.

The first day of Eid al-Fitr is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon marking the start of the month of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar.

Lunar months last between 29 and 30 days so Muslims usually have to wait until the night before Eid to verify its date.

Other countries follow independent sightings.

When the sighting has been verified, Eid is declared on television, radio stations and at mosques.

How do Muslims celebrate Eid?

Traditionally, Eid is celebrated for three days as an official holiday in Muslim-majority countries. However, the number of holiday days varies by country.

Muslims begin Eid day celebrations by partaking in a prayer service that takes place shortly after dawn, followed by a short sermon.

On their way to the prayer, which is traditionally held in an open area, Muslims recite takbeerat, praising God by saying “Allahu Akbar”, meaning “God is great”.

It is customary to eat something sweet before the prayer, such as date -filled biscuits known as maamoul in the Middle East. This particular festival is known as the “sweet” Eid – and the distribution of sweets is common across the Muslim world.

Muslims usually spend the day visiting relatives and neighbours and accepting sweets as they move around from house to house.

Each country has traditional desserts and sweets that are prepared before Eid or on the morning of the first day.

Children, dressed in new clothes, are offered gifts and money to celebrate the joyous occasion.

Girls and women in many countries decorate their hands with henna. The celebration for Eid begins the night before as women gather in neighbourhoods and large family gatherings for the application of henna.

In some countries, families visit graveyards to offer their respects to departed family members right after the morning prayers.

It is common for Muslim-majority countries to decorate their cities with lights and hold festivities to commemorate the end of the fasting month.

Eid amid the onslaught in Gaza

For some 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza this Eid, this will be the first Muslim religious holiday after more than 33,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks. With little food aid, and very limited water, Gaza’s Eid al-Fitr will be mired in destruction amid the continuing attacks.

What are common Eid greetings?

The most popular greeting is “Eid Mubarak” (Blessed Eid) or “Eid sa’id” (Happy Eid). Eid greetings also vary depending on the country and language.

The video below shows how people say Eid Mubarak in different languages around the world.
