JAPAN TOP 5 PLACES TO VISIT - FORGET KYOTO & OSAKA! | The Tao of David
Are you planning a trip to Japan in 2017? Looking for things to do in Japan? Kyoto and Osaka are great locations for a short trip in Japan, however they are extremely touristic locations. In this video I tell you my Top 5 Places to visit in Japan!
I've been to Japan twice, for 3 weeks and 5 weeks, therefore I was able to visit a wider variety of locations for longer - I appreciate not everyone is able to do this. However, if you do have time, I would recommend considering the following areas! Forget Kyoto and Osaka! (but of course, Tokyo is a must!).
Here's First World Traveller's JAPAN TOP 5!
Nagasaki - Japan can be a daunting country to visit. Nagasaki is an ideal location to get your bearings - it's a small city possible to walk around or get the Nagasaki tram for 160 yen. Things to Do in Nagasaki include the Atomic Bomb Museum and Hypocenter, Mount Inasu and Gunkanjima (Battleship Island).
Kawaguchiko - Locates to the north of Mount Fuji close to Fujisan, Kawaguchiko is the ideal location if you want to spend more than just a day trip from Tokyo, in the Fuji area. Visit Mount Fuji, Aokigahara Forest or even climb Mount Fuji!
Kobe - Things to Do in Kobe are awesome! Nunobiki Falls, Cherry Blossom close to Shin Kobe station, the Disaster Reduction Institution (learn about the story of the 1995 Kobe Earthquake), Chinatown, and of course sample Kobe Beef!
Takayama - Located close to the Northern Japanese Alps (Hida Mountains), Takayama is small town Japan at it's best, with a fantastic Old Town, Morning Markets, Shrines, various walks and of course the amazing hida Beef, which you can try in the form of burgers, sushi, skewers, ramen and many more!
Aso - Want to visit a Supervolcano? Aso is located on Kyushu, probably my favourite area of Japan, easily accessible from Kumamoto, Nagasaki or Fukouka. Stay at Aso Base Backpackers, and visit Mount Aso itself, one of the world's largest and most active supervolcanos. Another thing to do in Aso is visit the Aso Volcano Museum - AWESOME!
