Visiting Japan is one of the most exciting things you can do in your life. Unfortunately, it’s such an exciting activity that there’s often not enough time to do all of its amazing activities. However, there are certain attractions that are better than others, or at least more popular. If you’re there on a limited-time schedule, here are three things to do that we recommend.
Kyoto’s Bamboo Forest
If you find forests mystifying, you absolutely must visit the bamboo forests of Kyoto. It’s the kind of thing you’ll see nowhere else in the world, and you’ll likely never forget it.
Mount Fuji
Don’t miss Japan’s iconic peak, Mount Fuji. Whether you view it from afar or hike to the summit, its snow-capped outline against the blue sky is nothing short of breathtaking. Nearby lakes like Kawaguchi and Ashi offer serene boat rides and stunning landscapes as well, making it a very well-rounded experience.
Tokyo’s Culinary Delights
Specific attractions aside, you can’t go to Japan without doing your taste buds a few favors. Tokyo is a food lover’s paradise, and you need to take advantage of it. From sushi at Tsukiji Fish Market to ramen in local shops, you really can’t go wrong.
