Asked on October 4th, 2025Can I use Apple Pay on my phone to pay for most purchases in Japan
EuropamundoOperator•Written October 2025Yes, you can use Apple Pay in many places, especially in cities, transport, and chain stores. But keep cash as a backup for smaller shops or rural areas. Most shops accept credit cards, only small shop do not accept credit cards, so let's make sure you bring some cash.

Traveler•Written October 2025What date is the expiry date needed to fill out passport registration
- EuropamundoOperator•Written October 2025
The 'date of expiry' refers to the date when your passport will no longer be valid. You can find it on the photo page of your passport, usually near the issue date. So, when filling out the pre-registration form on the Japan website, enter the expiration date of your passport exactly as it appears.

Traveler•Written October 2025I am arriving on December 18 what transportation is available to the hotel
- EuropamundoOperator•Written October 2025
Transfers may be private or shared with other passengers/shuttle, and only one transfer is provided per booking. Keep in mind the transfer is included the day the tour starts or if you have pre nights with us. If you arrive days before, you may need an extra night. Transfers for Japan are shuttle, so we cannot collect you in the hotel if you arrive days before and book nights on your own.

Traveler•Written May 2025RE the Eternal and Traditional tour: what would be the size of the group? How would my wife be traveling? Bus or train or? She would need to get to Osaka from Tokyo
- EuropamundoOperator•Written May 2025
Typically, each bus accommodates around 45 - 65 travelers, and you would be part of a group on one bus. While there may be other buses on the same tour route, each group remains on their assigned bus for the duration.
