WELCOME TO MY JAPAN TRAVEL BLOG!
Where to go once you’ve made it to Tokyo?!
I’ll give you ideas for places to visit by train or bus to help you plan your route through Japan!
Shrines with red torii gates, temple gardens with classic Japanese landscape, historic castles, a former samurai walking route, the bullet train… and more to experience so-very-Japan things!
Things to do in Tokyo
To plan your days in Tokyo, see the Tokyo tourist map!
Moving on from Tokyo
The classic route is to go from Tokyo to Kyoto. And then further away are Hiroshima and Himeji.
Instead of going directly from Tokyo to Kyoto, you can take the New Golden Route of Japan which is basically a detour through Central Japan to historic Japanese towns, as well as to the Japanese Alps!
Or, still follow the classic shinkansen bullet train route from Tokyo to Kyoto, but make a stop at one of the shinkansen train stations along the way!
Or, to see a lot of different places in a short amount of time, do a 7-day Japan itinerary with a JR pass.
You can also do the Mount Fuji climb to experience more of Japan.
For a less traditional route, you can head to Northern Japan.
Day trips from Tokyo
From Tokyo, you can do a day trip to Kamakura, to Hakone, to Odawara, to Enoshima, to Yokohama, to Chiba, to a Japanese baseball game, or to Tokyo Disney!
