Hi 👋 I’m Tamra, a top Australian journalist and news reporter on Australia’s number one breakfast show, Sunrise.

With 13 years of experience traveling the globe for my work, I’ve developed unmatched research skills, which means I know exactly how to hunt down the best things to do, the smartest ways to get around, and the ultimate travel hacks to make your trip seamless.

Of all the countries I’ve visited, Japan is by far my favorite. But I also know how stressful planning a trip here can be.

With so much to organize - train tickets, accommodations, must-see sights, hidden gems - it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. I made plenty of mistakes on my first trip, and I created this guide to make sure you don’t have to.

Inside, you’ll find over 80 must-do experiences, handpicked places to stay, and, most importantly, itineraries that maximize your time so you don’t waste a second. Japan is one of those places where you need to hit the ground running or risk missing out on its top sights.

The number one struggle for most travelers? Booking train tickets. I’ve included a step-by-step guide to help you navigate Japan’s train system like a pro. PLUS my ultimate money-saving hack that’s even better than the JR Pass.

If you want a trip that’s smooth, efficient, and packed with unforgettable experiences, this guide is for you. Let’s make your Japan adventure stress-free and unforgettable! 🚄✨
