My TOP Japan Travel Tips πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅

Soaring buildings and bright lights are probably on your mind when you think of Japanese cities.

And whilst that is also true, not far ahead you will find temples hiding in tranquil bamboo forests.

You’ll find dense jungles, craggy mountains, and sparkling lakes. You might even find a tropical paradise with white sandy beaches too πŸ˜‰

Deciding where to stay in Japan will depend on what you're looking for.

Well, you're in luck, because we've got a handy guide which will help you decide which places to visit on your trip.


Things You Can't Miss πŸ‘€

You've probably heard of capsule hotels, maid cafes, robot shows and all kinds of crazy things Japan has to offer.

There are a lot of wild experiences and beautiful sights in Japan, so it might be tough to fit everything into your itinerary.

Some of my fav include:

  • Temple hopping in Kyoto
  • The bowing deer in Nara
  • Eating proper okonomiyaki in Osaka
  • The lakes around Fuji
  • ​Staying at a Ryokan​
