Japan is a fascinating destination where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. Whether you’re drawn to the majestic beauty of Mount Fuji, the peaceful atmosphere of Kyoto’s temples and shrines, or the immersive digital art exhibitions of TeamLab in Tokyo, Japan is full of wonders waiting to be discovered. Many day trips from Tokyo, such as Kamakura, Nikko, or Mount Mitake—offer a unique glimpse into the country’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
Each season brings its own magic: spring enchants with cherry blossoms, while autumn dazzles with the vibrant colors of momijigari (autumn leaf viewing). Discover traditional villages like Iyashi-no-Sato or Boso no Mura to step back into Japan’s past, or explore lesser-known gems like Sawara, often called the “Little Edo.”
Each article in this section invites you to explore Japan differently, through spectacular landscapes, cultural treasures, and unforgettable experiences.
