Kamakura
Place
Explore ancient temples and serene gardens in this coastal city. Take the scenic Enoden train for stunning ocean views, especially on the left side towards Enoshima. Combine your visit with Enoshima for a perfect day trip.
Nagoya
Place
While Nagoya itself can be skipped by some, it's the gateway to the magical Ghibli Park. Plan your visit around the park and secure tickets two months in advance. Explore local culinary delights like Hitsumabushi.
Shirakawa-go
Place
4.5
Marvel at the iconic gassho-zukuri farmhouses, unique for their steeply sloped thatched roofs. Visit in winter for a magical snowy landscape or in spring for lush green views. Book transportation in advance, especially during peak season.
Takayama
Place
Wander through the beautifully preserved old town with its traditional wooden merchant houses. Sample local street food like Hida beef skewers along Sanmachi Street. It's also a great base for a day trip to Shirakawago.
Kobe
Place
While famous for its beef, Kobe offers more than just wagyu. Explore the charming Kitano district with its historic foreign residences or visit the scenic Kobe Port Tower. If solely for beef, great wagyu can be found in other major Japanese cities.
Enoshima

Discover the mystical caves, botanical gardens, and panoramic ocean vistas of this charming island. Climb to the Enoshima Sea Candle for breathtaking 360-degree views. Enjoy fresh seafood at the local eateries.
Ghibli Park
