## What is Naruhodo?

Naruhodo is the Japan travel guide your well-traveled friend would give you: practical, honest, and straight to the point. No generic tourist fluff. No ads. No account required. Just the tips you actually need.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND

• Before You Go - eSIM setup, cash tips, apps to download, what to pack, and what to book in advance.
• Getting Around - IC cards, Shinkansen, JR Pass math, regional passes, airport transfers, and navigation apps that actually work in Japan.
• Accommodation - Capsule hotels, ryokan etiquette, business hotels, coin laundry, and how to send your luggage ahead.
• Where To Go - Beyond the big three: Nara, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, day trips, and hidden gems.
• Culture & Etiquette - Train manners, shoes off, onsen rules, chopstick etiquette, tipping (don't), and where to find trash cans.
• Useful Phrases - Survival Japanese with pronunciation, from ordering food to asking for help to emergencies.

WHY NARUHODO?

• Curated, not crowdsourced — every tip is personally written and tested.
• Works offline — no internet needed. Perfect for when you're underground on the Tokyo Metro.
• Set your trip dates and get timely reminders about what to prepare.
• Bookmark tips to build your own quick-reference list.
• Clean, minimal design: no clutter, no dark patterns.
• No ads. No tracking. No account. Just helpful advice.

Whether it's your first trip to Japan or your fifth, Naruhodo helps you travel smarter and more confidently.

Naruhodo in Japanese is なるほど - "I see. Now I understand."
