Discover our recommended places to go in Japan, from the crystal lakes of Hokkaido to the bright city lights of Tokyo

Japan’s efficient rail network makes it easy to travel right across the main island of Honshu. En route, you can compare and contrast high-tech Tokyo with cultural Kyoto, and discover the gardens of Kanazawa. On foot, you might decide to walk the 8th-century Nakasendo Highway or the trails of the pine-covered Japanese Alps. Head to the northern island of Hokkaido for wild national parks, including the wetlands of Kushiro-shitsugen. Further south, you’ll find the subtropical island chain of Okinawa with its white-sand beaches and coral reefs.

Our specialists can share their experiences of exploring Japan to help you choose the best places to visit.
