Getting Around Getting around Japan can be an experience in itself.
Japan has one of the world's most highly developed transportation systems.
The rail service alone covers almost all possible destinations. In addition, there is a national highway service and domestic air service. Public transportation such as buses and taxis provide connections twenty four hours a day in the cities, while ferries link up Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe with the main ports of Hokkaido and Kyushu. Railways Trains in Tokyo are always punctual. They zoom into the stations at 1.5-minute intervals during peak hours, a perfect example of the efficiency of the Japanese.
