“Is it wise to get to japan during golden week? Is it way more expensive, busy etc”

Visiting Japan during Golden Week, which is from April 29 to May 5, might not be the best idea. It’s a busy time! Most Japanese get this week off, so they all plan to travel then. What this means for you is that trains, like Shinkansen, and planes fill up fast and are hard to book. Plus, places like hotels charge more than usual. Roads are super crowded too, making travel tough. If you really need to come during this time, maybe because you have friends in Japan you want to see, then go ahead. Otherwise, it’s probably better to pick a different time for your trip when it’s less busy and cheaper.
