Do you have any tips on traveling in Japan?

Anywhere is fine, but I know this is not helpful answer. I just insist you shouldn't do superficial trip, like hopping here and there during a couple of days.

Anywhere is fine, but I know this is not a helpful answer. I just insist you shouldn't take superficial trips, like hopping here and there for a couple of days.

1. "Answer" is a count noun, so use an article to quantify it.
2. This is a more appropriate verb for "trips"; say either this or "go on a trip".
3. For general ideas, use plural nouns.
4. Use this to indicate the duration of time.
Let's start with traditional and historical places. What do you recommend, and what can we do there?

This is one of the cliche of trip in Japan, still, Kyoto and Nara are must place unless you haven't visited before.

自然な表現

This is one of the cliches of trips in Japan, still, Kyoto and Nara are must-see places unless you have already visited   .

1, 2, 4. If there is more than one, use the plural form.
3. "Must" does not express anything--must what?
5. "Unless" already means "except if".
6, 7. The verb is in the perfect tense, which means that the action happened in the past until the present, so adding "before" is not necessary.
I haven't, and I'm excited about it indeed. What about food? I would like to try something authentic. What do you recommend?

You can eat lots of good food at affordacble price anywhere. So I recommend you not to go restaurants for tourists but local.

1, 4. If there is more than one, use the plural form.
2. The conjunctions "and," "but," and "so" cannot be used to begin a sentence, so connect them to the previous sentence with a comma or omit them.
3. Use this to indicate the destination.
I would like to try that. Where can I experience rich nature in Japan? What season is the best for it?

Nagano prefecture is one of the mountain areas. I think you can enjoy climbing. And I swear spring and autumn are the best season of Japan. You haven't better come in summer season. It's so hellish. Every summer, I doubt myself whether to survive or not this time as well.

Nagano prefecture is one of the mountainous areas. I think you can enjoy climbing.    I swear spring and autumn are the best seasons in Japan. You hadn't better come in the summer season. It's so hellish. Every summer, I doubt that I will survive the season.

1. Use an adjective to describe the noun.
2. The conjunctions "and," "but," and "so" cannot be used to begin a sentence, so connect them to the previous sentence with a comma or omit them.
3. If there is more than one, use the plural form.
4. Use this to indicate the location.
5. "Had better" is the proper form when expressing a strong suggestion.
6. "Season" is a count noun, so it requires a determiner.
7. "I doubt" already expresses uncertainty, so adding "whether ~ or not" is redundant.
Okay, I will try to avoid visiting during summer then! Do I need to bring a lot of cash, or are cashless payments accepted widely? I want to do some cultural activities, too. Is there are that you would recommend?

jjapan is unexpectedly cash country,but you can pay with credit cards most place 0ff course, so I recommend half cash.

自然な表現

Japan is unexpectedly a cash country, but you can pay with credit cards in most places. Of course, so I recommend bringing some cash.

1. This is a proper noun, so capitalize the first letter.
2. "Country" is a count noun, so use an article to quantify it.
3. Use this to indicate the location.
4. If there is more than one, use the plural form.
5. Spelling
6. "Half cash" does not express anything specific, so use this instead.
