Our Touch, your Travels…

This is a preview of the full content of our Japan’s Best app.

Please consider downloading this app to support small independent publishing and because:

  • All content is designed for mobile devices and works best there.
  • Detailed in-app maps will help you find sites using your device’s GPS.
  • The app works offline (one time upgrade required on Android versions).
  • All advertising (only present on Android versions) can be removed.

The app will also allow you to:

  • Add custom locations to the app map (your hotel…).
  • Create your own list of favourites as you browse.
  • Search the entire contents using a fast and simple text-search tool.
  • Make one-click phone calls (on phones).

Tipping

Not in Japanese culture

10 yen

Tipping is not practiced in Japan. In fact, it can cause discomfort and confusion if you do - you might find someone chasing you down the street to give you your change when you’ve actually given them a tip!

A service charge is often added on to the final bill in restaurants.
