Complication of transportation is always one of the problems that Japan travelers would face.
In this article, I will recommend 2 applications to install to travel around Japan.
Google Maps
I believe many of you have it already on your phone.
Google Maps is one of the most used / installed mobile apps in the world.
You can search hotels near your location or restaurants with customer reviews etc.
It is very convenient to check the nearest station of the spot where you want to go.
You can see how to get to the place on Google Maps (by walk, train, car and taxi), but I have another apps to recommend you to install.
Japan Travel
On this apps, beneficial information for Japan travelers, for example, search functions for shopping spots, currency exchange spots and ATM spots etc. are provided as well as route search functions.
Also, you can book tickets for major sightseeing spots or transport on the apps.
What is more, you can check disaster information on the Japan Travel apps.
In 2011 when a big earthquake happened in northern Japan, it was hard for foreigners who don’t understand Japanese to catch the latest information or information about evacuation.
You can even search for free wifi provided near your location!
Ending
Those two apps above will keep you away from getting lost in Japan. On Japan Travel apps, there are many articles introducing sightseeing places in Japan, so you may find good place to visit.
