Do I need a visa to fly from Tokyo to Osaka?
It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same Tokyo → Osaka flight can face completely different entry rules. Check the destination country’s official immigration site or your foreign-ministry travel advice for your passport, and do it before booking: some destinations require a visa obtained in advance, others issue visas or waivers on arrival.
How many bags can I take on flights from Tokyo to Osaka?
Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (All Nippon Airways, Go One Airways, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa and others) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
