Before coming to japan

Hi I am planning a vacation trip to Japan. For 15 days with my wife and kids .
9yrs & 4 yrs old .starting from 13/3/17 to next 15 days . I am from India . What are things which are to noted other before travelling to Japan . I want to apply for visa & after that I can book my air tickets & hotel bookings .
Second I want to travel in bullet train for inter city transfers.wanted your help on this .

You can't book tickets for most shinkansen until you arrive in Japan. Only JR East allows bookings from outside of Japan, and they don't travel all over the country.

You'll also need to look into things like the Ghibli Museum and theme parks; Ghibli Museum tickets must be booked ahead of time, and for some theme parks tourists often prefer to pre-buy tickets online.

Visa, search google or check here http://www.in.emb-japan.go.jp/visa%20info.html

Itinerary - Check Japan Guide or other websites for more information

Which are the theme parks that are needed to be pre book sir . It will be of great help if you can provide information.

Firstly, don't assume we're all men here. I am female.

Secondly, it would probably be a better idea for you to first choose what you want to see and do, and then find out if it needs to be booked ahead of time. The Ghibli Museum is one I know needs to be booked ahead of time; Universal Studios and Disney are by choice (you can buy tickets at the gate), and other smaller ones may only have tickets available at the gate. Find out what you want to do first, research them, and find out for yourself if you need to book ahead of time.

Check out the main japan-guide website first.

Get an overview..work out the things you might like to do...put together a bit of a draft plan...and then ask some questions on the detail.

This forum is really helpful, but you need to have more specific questions in the first place.

Good luck with your planning...
