Where to visit in each prefecture of the Kanto region, great for day trips!Travel cheaply in Japan by visiting these amazing(mostly free) places and use the benefit of your JR pass!
Except for Tokyo many of the other Kanto regions don’t get as much attention as it should! Tokyo is great and all but if you really want to see Japan then just travel a few hours away from Tokyo and you can experience something totally different!
Don’t be a tourist, be a traveller :)

Exploring Shibamata - Tokyo Day Trip
Shibamata is an area outside central Tokyo with an older feel, Japanese street food and snacks, temples and a river to explore.
Shibamata has a completely different feel to the inner city. There are more traditional style Japanese shops and houses, small restaurants and we even found ourselves strolling through a quiet area where people live. It's a lot quieter than the big city but I really enjoyed seeing another side of life in Japan.

Can Kyoto be a day trip from Tokyo?
The answer is: yes
My opinion: don’t do it! You’ll ruin the cultural experience. Quit your job, stay longer do whatever you have to do to stretch it out for 3 days in Kyoto. Kyoto is not a city of only temples and shrines. It’s a city filled with things beyond a simple snapshot. Like FOOD!! Like ART! Like ... FOOD! (Did I saw that already?)
What route did I walk?

Transcript:
You're joining me in a very special city. Let’s start with my preconceptions: I expected Japan’s capital, and home to the world’s largest urban population to be over the top and really in your face, with neon lights and anime at every turn and i certainly wasn’t disappointed. The streets are lined with towering, multi-storey buildings, each filled with mind bending department stores and arcades, offices to some of the world’s biggest brands and restaurants serving the best food you’ll ever taste.
But despite all the apparent madness and chaos, spend a few days in Tokyo and it just makes sense. Here, efficiency is an art form. Japanese attention to detail is legendary, and it runs through everything, from food to public transport and urban planning. And yes, even the toilets.
This trip was an educational and weirdly enlightening experience. I’ve been lucky to visit a lot of amazing places making these videos, but Tokyo is in a league of its own.
So Tokyo, it’s big, it’s busy and it’s brilliant. As ever, let’s start with the airports.
Flying from the UK you’ll come into one of Tokyo’s two major international airports, Haneda or Narita. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that Tokyo is a really long way away, direct flights from Europe will take a whopping 12 hours for the nine and a half thousand kilometre journey.
So you’ve got Haneda airport which is roughly 13 miles south of the city, and then you’ve got 50 miles east. Fortunately, both are really easy to get to noisy noisy Tokyo. Here’s what you need to know.
From Haneda you have three main options, the airport limousine bus, a taxi or the monorail. The airport limousine takes between 30 and 45 minutes, stopping at most major hotels in the centre of town, with prices increasing for the night service between midnight and 5am.
A taxi should take about half and hour depending on traffic, with prices depending where you’re being dropped off. There’s also a 20% extra charge between 10pm and 5am.
However the quickest option is the airport’s dedicated monorail. It’ll get you into Hamamatsucho station in 13 minutes and from here you can connect to the circular Yamanote metro line to reach other parts of the city.
The metro runs between 9 and 7 on weekdays and then 9 to 5 on weekends and public holidays. That’s Haneda! Here’s what you need to know about Narita.
Narita is a whopping 50 miles east of Tokyo, so all of your transport options are going to take a while. The Airport Limousine bus and taxis runs from Narita but both will take anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to reach central Tokyo. Instead, take the JR Narita Express. It’ll whisk into town in a little under an hour, and with this being Japan, the trains are on time and super efficient.
A word of warning about getting home; if you’re flight’s on a Sunday, make sure you check the train times because there’s a reduced service. Check your departure time, and then allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport.
