Rest of Japan
There is much more to Japan than just Tokyo and Kyoto. Head just 90 minutes out of Tokyo and you are transported into a different pace. Hakone National Park, created by nearby Mt. Fuji’s repetitive volcanic activity is renowned for it’s hot springs and spas. A stay in a Ryokan (traditional Japanese Inn) is an exclusive and unique experience. Explore Lake Ashi to see the up-side-down Mount Fuji reflected in the waters and enjoy the Komagatake Ropeway, traveling above Hakone’s most thermally active area. For a historical fix travel to Hiroshima visiting the A Bomb Dome and Museum offering an informative insight into the devastating events surrounding the attack on the city in 1946. A short ferry journey from Hiroshima lays the picturesque island of Miyajima, also known as Itsukushima. As the ferry approaches the island a red Shinto shrine appears to float on the sea. There are numerous temples, shrines and cobbled, narrow alleys to explore whilst wild deer can be found on every corner.Suggested itineraries
