Tokyo Travelling in Japan during Golden Week - how bad is it?
Posted: Fri July 4, 2008 05:20 AM UTC
Hello,

I just discovered that the two weeks my friend and I are planning to be in Japan next spring (April 18 - May 3, 2009) overlap part of Golden Week (April 29 - May 5).

Would staying put in Tokyo during that period make things easier (since I assume people are leaving the city and going to the countryside)?

Does all accommodation become more expensive at that time, or just the big hotels?

Can we still have a good time or will every attraction and public transport be packed? What if we're just visiting around Tokyo?

I haven't booked any plane ticket yet but want to do it soon because I'll be flying on reward miles. I'm planning to fly back to Canada on May 3. Thanks.

Thanks Keti. I will definitely see other places than Tokyo. I just meant spending the period April 29 - May 3 in Tokyo (since I'm leaving from there anyways) so I'm not using trains or changing accommodation during Golden Week. :-)
