Budget travel in Japan - tips and info thread


Bros:
What is a good month to see the autumn leaves?

Generally north and higher elevations, it will be late Oct.

South like Tokyo will be mid Nov.
 

Thanks bros
I always thought it was going to be earlier...
I just have to convince my other half that it's safe to go back...
There are so many places I love to visit..

I like to get out of Tokyo, and see the small towns and cities..
 

some places have been declared off-limits dues to seismic activity...

1. Owakudani (Hakone)

2. Okama crater (Yamagata) - lol i was just here last year
