With its gracefully symmetrical shape and distinctive snow-capped summit, Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest mountain and a true national symbol – as well as a popular hiking destination in mid-summer.
This relaxed provincial capital in the south of Japan is famous as the site of one the country’s ‘Three Great Gardens’, or Nihon Sanmeien.
Bisecting the island of Honshu, the Japan Alps are the scenic highlight of the Chubu region and the perfect antidote to the headlong rush of the nearby cities.
As well as serving as a handy base for trips into the Japan Alps National Park, Takayama boasts a wonderfully well preserved old town dating from the prosperous Edo period of the 18th and 19th centuries.
It’s hard to imagine a contrast more stark than that between Tokyo and the bucolic villages of Shirakowa-gō, in northwest Japan, where hamlets of pretty thatched houses nestle amid one of the country’s most idyllic rural landscapes.
A feast of old-world Japanese architecture nestles under the cryptomeria trees at Nikkō, where some of the country’s former Shoguns were enshrined in richly carved tombs and temples.
The Japanese capital’s every bit as fast-paced, jam-packed and fashion-obsessed as its reputation suggests. But it’s also one of the world’s most eclectic cities, with a traditional, contemplative flipside to its modern face.
