Is Japan worth the higher budget?
Japan is the trip Indians rank first on bucket lists for a reason: bullet trains that arrive to the second, cherry-blossom springs, Kyoto's 1,600 temples and Tokyo's neon — and it's more reachable than ever, with Japan's e-visa for Indians costing only about ₹1,700 and the weak yen making 2026 the cheapest Japan has been in decades.

Frequently asked questions
How expensive is Japan really?
Less than its reputation now: the weak yen means a good ramen meal is ₹600–800, metro rides ₹120, business hotels ₹6,000–9,000. The big costs are flights and rail passes — which the package locks in early.
Is Japan vegetarian-friendly?
Harder than Southeast Asia — dashi (fish stock) hides everywhere. Solutions: shojin-ryori temple cuisine in Kyoto, Indian restaurants in every city, konbini onigiri with checked labels, and translation cards which we provide.
When should I book for cherry blossom?
Flights and hotels 3–4 months out, minimum — sakura fortnight is Japan's peak. Late March in Tokyo/Kyoto is the classic window; the forecast firms up in February.
