Canals, tulips, windmills, and world-class museums. Amsterdam's unique culture, cycling infrastructure, and liberal atmosphere.
Visa-free for Japanese passport holders (up to 90 days in Schengen area).
Dutch is official. English is spoken at near-native level by most Dutch people — one of the highest English proficiency rates in the world.
Excellent rail system (NS). OV-chipkaart for all transit. Cycling is THE way to get around — rent a bike. Trams in Amsterdam.
Highly cashless. PIN (debit) preferred over credit cards. Contactless everywhere. Some places don't accept credit cards at all.
Maritime climate (mild, rainy). Tap water safe. Watch for bikes — they have right of way. Amsterdam's Red Light District and coffee shops are legal but have rules.
