Get Inspired: 3 Places to Go in Japan
While there are so many sites to see in Japan, we know you can’t see everything. We’ve picked our top three favorite destinations in Japan that are must-visit locations for your next vacation.
Tokyo: City of the Future With Deep Cultural Roots
Tokyo is the vibrant, pulsating heart of modern Japan, a city where neon-lit skyscrapers stand beside ancient temples. It’s an overwhelming but exhilarating experience that perfectly showcases Japan’s unique blend of tradition and innovation.
While there, make sure you check out Asakusa, which is Tokyo’s oldest temple. Then, for a complete contrast, head over to Harajuku, where you can dive into youth culture and fashion. Nearby is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku, where you can experience free panoramic views of the city.
And when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, experience a traditional Japanese garden like Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden for a peaceful escape.
Kyoto: The Heart of Traditional Japan
For over a thousand years, Kyoto was Japan’s imperial capital, and it remains the spiritual and cultural heart of the country. It’s a city of temples with exquisite detail, serene gardens, and traditional wooden teahouses.
While in Kyoto, take a stroll through the Gion District, which is the famous geisha district. The best time to go is the early evening, when you might spot a geiko (Kyoto geisha) or a maiko (apprentice geisha).
At Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), you can marvel at the stunning Zen Buddhist temple completely covered in gold leaf, reflecting beautifully over a pond. In addition, you can check out Fushimi Inari Taisha and walk through vibrant vermilion torii gates winding up a sacred mountain.
Mount Fuji: Iconic Natural Beauty
Mount Fuji is Japan’s tallest and most iconic peak, a majestic symbol of the country. The nearby Hakone area offers some of the best views of Fuji, along with relaxing hot springs and beautiful natural scenery.
The Hakone Ropeway, Lake Ashi cruises, or the Chureito Pagoda offer breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, especially on clear days. After, relax in a traditional Japanese hot bath, which is a deeply rejuvenating cultural experience.
