Japan is a great country to travel in. A tourist visa will suffice for most countries, and there are two international airports to which you can fly, in addition to a substantial number of national airports.

There is a railway system that spans the entire country for which you can get a Japan Rail Pass. With this pass you can travel on almost any train from Japan Rail (JR) except the Nozomi bullet train and night trains.
