You always wanted to travel the land of cherry blossoms and the rising sun, but not sure when to go? This is the best time to visit Japan<\/strong>.\u00a0This year Japan is on my hotlist. I personally believe Japan is somewhere everyone should visit. From tranquil bamboo forests<\/strong> to skyscrapers and serene temples<\/strong> to neon arcades, it is like nowhere else on the planet.\u00a0Its locals are ultra polite, the food is incredible and an effective transport system. You love the combination of glorious bewilderment and ease of travel.<\/p>\n

Japan has too much to offer, but where should you start? Here we have selected some best places to\u00a0visit in Japan. I have also included some favorite things to do in each place, where you should stay, and\u00a0how long to spend there.<\/p>\n

Before taking you to the best places where I have information for travel lovers. When you are in\u00a0Japan, you need a Japan Rail Pass<\/em> to travel to different places. It is specially designed for the visitors that allow them to travel on any train for 90 days.<\/p>\n

1. Hakone<\/h2>\n

In Hakone, Mount Fuji<\/strong><\/a> is one of the favorite places to visit in Japan, but this can sometimes be hidden by\u00a0clouds.
\nThere are many places you can see from the mountain, but Hakone is easy to reach, and there is a\u00a0number of other things to do in this area in case you are out of luck with a sighting.
\nWhen we were lucky that day, Mount Fuji emerged from the clouds, and it was magical. Visiting Hakone is also fun because you can enjoy the different sights on different modes of transport, like a cable car, pirate boat, bus, and train.<\/p>\n

2. Takayama<\/h2>\n

Takayama<\/strong> is a gorgeous small town on the edge of the mountains and one of the best places to go. I loved\u00a0wandering the historic center full of colors, traditional wooden houses, shrines, bright red bridges, and\u00a0neatly shaped trees.
\nWhen you come to visit Takayama, don\u2019t miss wandering the old town in the early morning, buying fruits, visiting Hida Folk Village<\/strong> to see traditional houses, and yes, cycling<\/strong> through the countryside.<\/p>\n

3. Tokyo<\/h2>\n

Tokyo is the ultramodern counterpart of Japan<\/strong> if Kyoto is the heart. Here you will find noisy arcades, skyscrapers, youth fashions, busy pedestrian crossings, and many incredibly delicious restaurants. Tokyo is also considered the home of some weirdest activities with its sensory-overload shows to themed cafes, and cos-play go-karting to arcades. On your visit to Tokyo, don\u2019t miss eating in its small restaurants, gazing at the night skyline, attending crazy fashion shows, and visiting Disney sea.<\/p>\n

4. Kyoto<\/h2>\n

If you feel you only have time for one Japan destination, make it Kyoto. This is traditional Japan as you\u00a0imagined it with its bright colored kimonos, wooden teahouses, shrines and temples, a forest of\u00a0bamboo, graceful tea ceremonies, and many more things.\u00a0Kyoto considered the one top Japan tourist spot, so when you visit it, make sure to visit the famous\u00a0temples early in the morning, strolling the Philosopher\u2019s path, and visiting Kurama-dera temple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
