Japan is a small country packed with diverse landscapes, amazing food, and cities where even adults feel can feel like kids.
Where to begin?
Japan is known as a chain of islands found in the pacific and formed by volcanic activity. To the north they have cold winters and warm summers, and in the southern islands they have temperate winters and hot summers. Japan's popularity as a tourist destination has been steadily climbing until it recently skyrocketed. Having been there myself, I understand the hype. I was blown away by the mix of modern and traditional architectures, the kindness of the people, and the public transport alone is an epic experience. There's a charm to be felt as you walk through both the big cities and the quaint villages, akin to being in a movie.
What is there to do?
I wholeheartedly believe that you could spend a year in Japan and not see all that it has to offer. So let me give you some highlights.
There are several theme parks for families and enthusiasts to visit. From Disney to Legoland, there's even a park for fans of the Ghibli films.
You can visit gardens throughout the year kept in the traditional Edo style. The blooming flora is constantly changing, especially in the spring and autumn. Hunt for the perfect photos amongst the cherry blossoms, wisteria, baby blue eyes, and bamboo forests.
Being an archipelago of volcanic islands, Japan's landscape is dotted with hot springs. Relax in a Japanese Onsen or see how the local people harness the steam to cook meals. For more physical activity, hike mountains and once active volcanoes or walk the Kumano Kodo trail.
The sprawling cities of Japan offer days of exploration. Go shopping (tax free options available for tourists), find holes in the wall to dine at like locals, make your own pair of chopsticks, wrestle with sumo wrestlers, and visit their many museums, shrines and temples, the list goes on.
Why choose me?
If you've attempted to make in itinerary for Japan, you know just how overwhelming it can be. I completely understand, I've been there too. I have hands on experience booking excursions, modes of transport, and navigating around the complex subways and trains. I've wandered through the streets of Japan, finding their secrets, just like you're about to do. So let me use my knowledge and expertise to help craft the perfect vacation for you.
