6GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT JAPAN
Japan is an island country in East Asia located in
the Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of the Asian
continent.
The country’s name means "origin of the sun" and Japan
is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun". It consists of
an archipelago made up of almost 7000 islands. The four
largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku,
which make up about 97% of Japan's land area and are
often referred to as home islands.
The country is divided into 47 prefectures in eight regions. The population of 127 million is
the world's tenth largest, of which 98% are ethnic Japanese with 90% of people living in cities &
9% in the countryside. Almost 14 million people live in Tokyo, the capital of Japan & the Greater
Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world with over 38 million people. The
majority of people who claim to be religious follow Shintoism or Buddhism but there is complete
religious freedom in Japan and a number of minority faiths are also represented.
Archaeological research indicates that Japan was inhabited as early as the Upper
Paleolithic period (10,000 – 50,000 years ago). The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese
history texts from the first century AD. Influence from other regions, mainly China, followed by
periods of isolation, particularly from Western Europe, has characterised Japan's history.
From the 12th century until 1868, Japan was ruled by successive feudal military shōguns who
ruled in the name of the Emperor. Japan entered into a long period of isolation in the early 17th
century which was ended in 1853 when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to the West.
After nearly two decades of internal conflict and insurrection, the Imperial Court regained its
political power in 1868 through the help of several clans from Chōshū and Satsuma and
the Empire of Japan was established.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victories in the First
Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War
I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of
increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937
expanded into part of WWII in 1941 which came to an end in
1945 following the Japanese surrender.
Since adopting its revised constitution in 1947, during the occupation by the Supreme Commander
for Allied Powers, the sovereign state of Japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary
constitutional monarchy with an Emperor and an elected legislature called the National Diet. The
current Prime Minister is Shinzō Abe, who is also Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.
Japan is a member of ASEAN, the UN, OECD, G7, G8, and G20. It is considered a great power
and its economy is the world's third-largest by GDP. It is the world's fourth-largest
exporter and importer.
Japan benefits from a highly skilled and educated workforce & has one of the world's highest
proportion of citizens with a tertiary degree. Although it has officially renounced its right to declare
war, Japan maintains a modern military force. It has the world's eighth-largest military
budget used for self-defense and peacekeeping roles & is ranked as the world's fourth most-
powerful military country in 2015.
7Japan is a highly developed country with a very high standard of living and Human Development
Index. Its population enjoys the highest life expectancy and third lowest infant mortality rate in the
world, but is experiencing issues due to an aging population and low birthrate. Japan is renowned
for its historical and extensive cinema, influential music industry, anime, video gaming,
rich cuisine and its major contributions to science and modern technology.

VISAS & PASSPORTS
Australia & New Zealand have a visa waiver agreement with Japan. This means that nationals of
both countries can visit for tourist purposes and stay for up to 90 days as long as we hold a
passport which remains valid during our stay and that we do not receive any income while there.
MONEY
As of April 2020 : AUD$1 = 69Japanese Yen 1 JPY = AUD$0.015
We strongly recommend that you CHANGE YOUR MONEY INTO YEN BEFORE ARRIVING IN
JAPAN - the equivalent of AUD$750 in CASH per person should be sufficient to cover most of
your expenses.
Please note that some Japanese merchants, restaurants & hotels do not accept credit cards. Also,
changing money can be difficult & ATM machines that are compatible with foreign credit cards or
debit cards can be scarce in some rural areas. This is changing now, but to avoid any possible
problems, you may wish to plan to pay for out-of-pocket expenses using small denominations of
local currency.
INSURANCE
Travel insurance is compulsory. We recommend you purchase your policy at the time of booking
your tour as deposits are non-refundable. Please provide us with copies of your insurance policy in
advance. Check your policy’s coverage for such items as unexpected cancellation, consequential
damages, medical evacuation, age and pre-existing conditions.
HEALTH & INOCULATIONS
Participants need to have a good level of fitness and be able to walk 3kms and climb steps
unassisted. If you usually use a fold-up alpine stick when walking longer distances, please bring it
along.
Please advise us of any medical conditions, allergies or special requirements on your booking
form. If you have any serious pre-existing conditions, we may ask you for a medical certificate.
In light of the corona pandemic, for your own peace of mind we recommend you continue to wash
& sanitize your hands regularly, maintain a sensible social distance & wear a mask if desired.
Although no specific inoculations are required for entry, please consult your GP about any personal
medications you may require and to ensure that your routine vaccinations are up to date.
ETIQUETTE
Etiquette is very important in Japan. For example, should you use soap in a traditional Japanese
bath? As a visitor, when should you bow? Is it considered impolite to eat all the food on your plate?
