In Osaka, Nakanoshima Museum of Art and History Museum will not be crowded ... in Kyoto, Shimogamo Shrine and Kanji Museum will be the same way. The Kyoto Railway Museum is fun and not too crowded but the children always take over the hands-on displays.

Enjoying our 7 week trip around Japan, planning a 9 day self drive around Kyushu over golden week and hoping we can get away from the crowds by NOT going anywhere near capital cities… so far driving around as opposed to taking a train which has been really good… have seen so many amazing places south of Nara this last few days. Have enjoyed your videos and some have been very helpful. Dave, Australia.

I would still be hesitant to go during golden week, but you make a good argument about longer hours. Although for me, I can’t stay up late unless I’ve been in Japan at least a week anyway. Business rush hour traffic on non-holiday weekdays is unpleasant too.

4:45 Be patient and flexible. I found it useful when looking up train routes to make sure it’s a line with frequent trains and that I’m not waiting on (or barely missing) a once-per-half-hour express or commuter train. Most metros arrive every 5 to 7 minutes at busy times, so these are usually better options, especially when it’s not the first leg of the trip.

Well, I have to extent my stay to April 4th due to airline reasons. But I haven´t sceduled anything for my time in Japan anyway, so I just keep watching all the people buzzing around or leave the town I may be at that time to visit a place somewhere else.

@@NinjaMonkeyguy To keep it short: Hotels might get expensive, so look for cheaper ones or pay the price if you want to stay in a specific hotel. I got a good offer for the first weekend in Hachioji, but had to pay a little bit more than planned around the second one because I wanted to stay near the bus terminal in Hiroshima for my flight back home. The Shinkansen got more crowded, espcially around the Saturday before the 29th, so book your seat in advance. I didn´t, so I had to cancel my plan and reserve a seat on the Komachi for Sunday. No problem there if you don´t really have a strict plan you have to follow and so I went sightseeing in Tokyo instead. Got another good offer for an APA Hotel in Osaka for the first have of the Golden Week, less than 13.000 Yen for two nights and from there it was back to Hiroshima. All in all I don´t see why you shouldn´t visit Japan during Golden Week, you might miss some nice festivals and events. Yes, the trains get crowded Yes, some sights are closed Yes, some hotels get more expensice But I had a good time being there

@NINJAMONKEYGUY, My trip to Japan, successfully completed, I'm back home and back to work to pay for my next trip... to Japan, LOL, really. I would like to thank YOU very much for all the incredibly useful information and the answers during the Q&A and other videos. You are THE BOSS. It all went smoothly thanks to the information provided by you, I visited amazing places thanks to your advice. Japan, I fell in love, with the country, but especially with the people. I was very nervous and anxious before my trip, especially for the language barrier, it was all nonsense. If no English, google translate, but the Japanese, are always willing and always very kind and welcoming if you approach with the right attitude. Snow in Takayama, not a cloud on Fuji san, amazing tours in Tokyo and Kyoto, great weather for the F1 race in Suzuka and to make it even better Sakura in Tokyo on the last day. Only thing missing was yelling NINJAMONKEY!!! but it all went excellent in great part thanks to your guidance, information and advice. THANK YOU!!!

Quick answer,... yes. You can reserve a time to be on the ride ... school begins in April so I think if you go during weekdays, it will probably be less crowded (except for all the foreign tourists) ... I guess if this is important to you, maybe go on a rainy weekday in June.

I've heard that it was pretty hot in japan during October/November last year. Is this every year the case or was it a one time thing? Having around 20-25 degrees Celsius during that time of the year would be a pretty good reason for me to visit. Last year I went during summer and it was waaay to hot. I usally really enjoy hot weather but Jesus last summer in Japan was definitely to much
