14 destinations in Japan
Fukuoka, Japan
Japan’s friendliest big city: yatai street-food stalls steam along the canals, Hakata ramen queues form at midnight, and ferries and flights make Kyushu feel like an open gate.
Hiroshima & Miyajima, Japan
Peace Memorial Park’s solemn silence sits a short ferry from Miyajima, where the vermilion torii of Itsukushima Shrine appears to float on the tide at high water.
Hokkaido, Japan
Japan's northernmost island where world-class powder snow, wildflower fields, and onsen hot springs create year-round beauty. A paradise for skiers, hikers, and food lovers.
Kamakura, Japan
A seaside shogun capital of temple trails and the Great Buddha, where cedar paths lead to coastal cliffs and day-trippers from Tokyo thin out after sunset.
Kanazawa, Japan
Kenrokuen garden, gold-leaf craft, and preserved geisha districts give Kanazawa the polish of Kyoto without the crowds—especially in snow-dusted winter.
Kyoto, Japan
Japan's ancient capital, home to over 2,000 temples and shrines, traditional geisha districts, serene bamboo groves, and perfectly maintained zen gardens.
Mount Fuji & Hakone, Japan
Japan’s sacred cone rises above Hakone’s volcanic lakes and onsen towns, with ropeways over sulfur vents and clear winter mornings that frame Fuji perfectly.
Naoshima Art Island, Japan
A Seto Inland Sea island remade as an open-air museum: Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkin on the pier, Tadao Ando concrete galleries, and ferry hops between art islets.
Nara, Japan
Japan’s first permanent capital still feels ancient: free-roaming deer in Nara Park, the colossal Buddha of Todai-ji, and lantern-lit Kasuga paths after dusk.
Nikko, Japan
Ornate Toshogu shrines glow under cedar canopies, while waterfalls and highland lakes turn Nikko into a mountain escape just north of Tokyo’s plain.
Okinawa, Japan
A subtropical archipelago where turquoise waters, coral reefs, and unique Ryukyuan culture create a tropical paradise distinct from mainland Japan. A place of longevity and natural beauty.
Osaka, Japan
Japan’s kitchen city: neon canyons of Dotonbori, takoyaki smoke, castle grounds, and a blunt, funny energy that contrasts Kyoto’s polished quiet.
Takayama & Shirakawa-go, Japan
Morning markets and sake breweries in Takayama’s old town lead into the UNESCO gassho farmhouses of Shirakawa-go, steep roofs built for heavy Hida snow.
Tokyo, Japan
A megacity of micro-neighborhoods where ancient temples sit beside neon-lit streets, world-class cuisine ranges from street food to Michelin stars, and tradition meets cutting-edge innovation.
