Japan is like no other place in the world. From ancient towns full of shrines and temples, bowing deer and Geisha, to bustling technology-filled cities, with bright lights, skyscraping towers and even Godzilla.

We spent an incredible three weeks exploring the main island of Honshu, specifically the Kanto Region, Kansai Region and Chugoku Region, and the smaller island of Shikoku, and believe us when we say you will never get tired of exploring Japan!
Our Top Picks in Japan
See the shrines and temples everywhere you go, as they are all so different from one another, being sure to get a Goshuin at each one.
Eat everything! From incredible street food to cosy ramen joints to vending machine drinks and 7/11 snacks, you can’t go wrong with food in Japan.
Stay at Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto for some of the best views across the city from the rooftop bar, and Miyajima Seaside Hotel for a traditional Ryokan with views across the inland sea and friendly deer that roam the grounds.
