Before You Go
Book Ghibli Museum tickets exactly 4 months ahead via Lawson convenience store ticket portal — they sell out instantly.
Secure sumo tournament tickets at tixcraft.com or through your hotel concierge — May basho runs mid-May in Tokyo.
Reserve kimono photoshoot in Gion at least 2 weeks out via Kyoto Kimono Rental Yumeyakata or Studio Maikoya.
Book halal sushi cooking class and matcha class in advance — search Airbnb Experiences or Arigato Japan tours.
Purchase a 7-day JR Pass before leaving home — it covers Shinkansen and saves roughly $150 vs buying in Japan.
Good to Know
Halal food is easier than expected in Tokyo and Osaka — search 'Halal Navi' app for certified restaurants near you in real time.
Carry some cash at all times — many temples, markets, and vintage shops in Kyoto and Nara are still cash-only.
May is peak season; book all hotels at least 6–8 weeks ahead, especially in Kyoto where good rooms vanish fast.
Vintage camera shops Map Camera and Shinjuku's Lemon Camera offer English service and international shipping if your bag gets heavy.
At restaurants, the phrase 'buta nuki de onegaishimasu' (no pork please) and 'halal desu ka?' are your two most useful food phrases.
Sumo morning practice (keiko) is free to watch at some stables in Ryogoku — ask your hotel to arrange access the night before.
Okinawa requires a full rental car day to see beaches north of Naha — book the car before landing to avoid sold-out counters.
