me and my grandmother want to go to japan. we dont speak english, or know anyone in tokyo. This is our first time going and we dont know where the subway goes and how it works. Do u think it would be worth it for paying for a tour.(with food, hotel, etc included)
All hotels have pre-printed instructions / directions in Japanese and English.. so it is cake walk to move around.. you haven t mentioned what language you speak.. if it is similar to english, good! Else look for an all in tour. References :
If you prefer to go without a guide then Tokyo is definitely a place that you can get around without too much hassle. If you want to travel outside of Tokyo though, the need for Japanese gets higher the further you are from a major city.
In Tokyo, the train line signs and many other signs are written in English as well as Japanese and, in many cases, Korean. There are many resources online in English and if you get a good guidebook you re set.
You should take a look at the Hato bus connection I ve added the link below. They do lots of different tours both inside Tokyo and if you want to visit some of the surrounding areas. The tours are supported by English cruise air packages guides so communication isn t a problem.
In researching their tours, I found that all are very expensive, and practicallly every tour will leave to yourself to find your own way back to your hotel, even if there was a guide at the beginning of the tour. (They call this a course, which you have to pay for).
I took a JTB tour to Ryogukan, and found it necessary to travel cruise air packages to the other side of Tokyo to join the tour, even though my hotel was closer to the Sumo wrestling arena, then having to travel back to the arena because subway tickets were included in the tour price. Also, they do not pick up at major hotels.
Except for figuring out how much a trip on the subway costs, there are many English signs, and the train staff are all too willing to help. They all seem have had lessons in English numbers. References : Experience.
Somethings here are written in english, but japanese dont talk english, (so expect cruise air packages no help even if you find a nice japanese) in some cases the subway map is written on japanese so if you dont know even english how will you get help?.
