All articles filed in Japan

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.

ABOUT ME

Hi, there! I’m Gaelle and while visiting many of the 70+ countries I've travelled to, I have tried to avoid the crowds of tourists, handrail-flanked walkways and the 'stand here to take your selfie'. From solo travelling in Uzbekistan and marvelling at its intricate Islamic architecture to hiking through the jungle in Panama and enjoying stunning waterfall amphitheatres, all to oneself. I walk that extra mile and seek out the guidebook-alternative, yet never one bit less beautiful. Through this website I endeavour to share this experience and show you another path, the one less travelled—Welcome to my travel diaries, welcome to TheOtherPaths.com
