Travel Tips

鈾ust wanting to come is good enough reason, I THINK.(*^o^*)
Whether you need a visa or not and how long you can stay will depend on which country you come from. (Hold a passport from.)
Take a look at the MOFA site:
"A. Nationals of Countries and Areas with Visa Exemption Arrangements with Japan".
*scroll down a bit
http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/...
This will tell you if you need a visa and how long you can stay for.
Example, if you come from the USA, you may visit Japan for up to 90 days without applying for a special visa.
Other than that, just wanting to come, having a ticket, a place to stay, the time and some money and you're set.
Good luck, hope this helps and have a great time here in Japan!鈾?br /> 鈽咰heck these sites for other useful visa info:

Maybe defining your interest and reason why do you want to go, and after that doing some research. For example if you want to see some famous shrines, to check the famous shrines and their history, their specifics, legends connected with them...This makes the trip 10 times more exiting.
if you're just travelling like for vacation, you can stay for 3 months or something without like a big visa.
