To get a rough estimate of Japan as well as information sharing Japan Tourism self-sufficient, you can read the following article of I Go.
Japanese travel so when?
Best time to visit Japan's cherry blossom season in early April (or maybe earlier in March, each year is different), and red leaf season (autumn in Japanese) about the calendar in November. Travelling Japan you should go carefully, quality rather than quantity. Normally you should take about 7 to 10 days for a trip to Japan, with the prominent tourist destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Mount Fuji and many other places if more time.
Book flights to Japan
There are many carriers to Japan, but an important note before buying airline tickets that is: you should definitely get the Visa Japan before, because there airfares without Visa will not alright . Visa is generally valid for 3 months from the date of granting of visas. Some airlines, such as:

  • Air Asia, the low-cost carrier. Fares sometimes only about 6 to 8tr for a return flight. The downside is that to transit more, sit waiting for long flights.
  • Vietnam Airlines, the super promotional price cheapest roundtrip is about 12tr, nonstop.
  • JAL and ANA firms, two Japanese airlines have also or promotions but also about $ 500 ++ cheap then. But the quality is too great.

In addition, many also choose China Airlines and Cathay Pacific but must transit, do not fly straight.
One problem in particular when air travel and foreign travel in general. You should purchase travel insurance, in some cases lost flying toys are reimbursed from insurance. You should also find out more about this problem when traveling abroad.

Detailed information on travel visa you read on the site of the Japanese Consulate: http://www.hcmcgj.vn.emb-japan.go.jp/vn/visa/dulich_v.htm
If the visa through the service company, you will have to comply with their request as:

Travel Japan
Japan is also quite broad and has many impressive attractions. I go introduce some impressive destination that you should arrange to schedule it in.
Kyoto
Kyoto was the capital of Japan and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. Now it is the seventh-largest city in Japan with a population of 1.4 million people. Over the centuries, Kyoto was once destroyed by wars and fires. But because of its historic value, the city has been dismissed from the list of the Atomic bomb during World War 2. The city thus retains plenty of temples and priceless historical buildings, still exist to this day.

Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji, which is 3776 meters high, is the highest mountain in Japan, like the highest mountain peak of Fansipan Vietnam so. This is a volcano is worshiped as a sacred mountain for centuries. Mount Fuji is an active volcano, was the most recent operation took place in 1708. Mount between Yamanashi and Shizuoka provincial boundaries, and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on sunny days.
One easy way to view Mount Fuji is from windows speedboat from Tokyo for Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo go to Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best spot to watch the Fuji is around Shin-Fuji station on the right hand side of the boat.
Osaka
The city has a population of 2.5 million, Osaka is the third largest city and second most important in Japan. It is also the economic center of the Kansai region for many centuries.
In the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi chose Osaka as the location for his castle, and the city may have become Japan's capital if Tokugawa Ieyasu had not destroy the descendants of Toyotomi. After the death of Hideyoshi government moved to Edo (Tokyo).
Central Osaka is divided into 2 parts: the north and south of Minami Kita. A retail area is located in the Umeda Kita, Triangle Park and Amerikamura in Minami. Minami is also home to the bridge and Shinsaibashi shopping district Ebisubashi. Downtown center, including courts and banks, is located in Yodoyabashi and Honmachi, between Kita and Minami. Osaka is known for bunraku (traditional puppet theater), kabuki theater, and Manzai, a modern form of comedy. Also tourist attractions in Osaka's most Oska Palace, with a large courtyard outside the palace, surrounded by the beautiful cherry blossom tree.
Tourism Tokyo
Tokyo is Japan's capital and most populous city in the world. It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, covering 23 wards downtown and many municipalities, towns and villages west of the city center. Izu Islands and Ogasawara is also a part of Tokyo.
Prior to 1868, Tokyo was called Edo. A small town in the 16th century castle, Edo became the political center of Japan in 1603, when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had become one of the most populated cities in the world. With the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the emperor and the capital moved from Kyoto to Edo was renamed Tokyo ("Eastern Capital"). Most of the area of ​​Tokyo was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and 1945 strikes.
Today, Tokyo is an option for shopping trips, entertainment, culture and dining. Have to say, while in Japan you can not skip Tokyo, because it represents a modern Japan and prosperity.
Takayama
Takayama is a city in the mountainous Hida region of Gifu Prefecture. The city is often called Hida-Takayama, to distinguish it from other places named Takayama. Takayama still retains many traditional features such as a few other Japanese cities, streets and buildings are quite old.
