Japan makes for one of the top destinations for solo backpackers to visit in Asia. There is a considerable growth in economy and innovation in Japan that makes for a truly unique experience for such a small island of land. Favorite for tourists from across the globe, Japan is home to a bustling population that is consistently on the go, perfect for restless globetrotters looking to make the most of new cultures that offer 24/7 excitement and activity. Solo guests here tend to feel very safe and respected as a result of the kind and traditional culture. Dressing is a combination of reserved and professional, but the community is sure to be open-minded to foreign styles, and a vast majority are fluent in English or other languages, making for an inclusive culture. Public transportation is affordable and efficient, although a little crowded, and sure to take visitors to top spots such as the Tokyo Skytree or Kyoto. Now that you know all about the wonders that Japan has to share with solo travelers, the next option offers a very comfortable communal feel for people concerned about being alone and will be sure to make those nerves go away in no time.
