Holiday like anything when you are in Japan! This is the nation where millions of people come to fulfill their dreams. The country has thousands of travelers throughout the year. Almost all of us dream of holidaying at least once in our lifetime in Japan. This wonderful place has lots to offer to its people and not only its people but for all. Once you visit this place, you will know how vast it is. There are many small towns, villages, and cities in Japan itself. You will be perplexed until you are aware that you have to go.

Japan is an island in the Pacific Ocean with dense cities, imperial palaces, mountainous national parks, and thousands of shrines and temples. So, while planning your trip to Japan, here is a list of shortlisted places to simplify your travel. For more ease, look for Japan Tour packages that will take care of your entire vacation. These places are a must-visit while in Japan.

  1. Mount Fuji—yes, the famous Mount Fuji is in Japan. Not many know that this mountain is also a registered heritage site with UNESCO. So, all the excursionists and travelers gear up to climb and trek this most beautiful mountain in the world.
  2. Ride a Shinkansen—this is the speediest monorail in Japan. It can cover hundreds of kilometers in a few hours, and you can travel from one city to another in hardly a few hours. This is normally called Japan’s bullet train. Despite traveling at speeds of over 200 kilometers an hour, in its 50 years of history, there has never been an accident or death, making it famous worldwide for its safety. How about enjoying the Japanese scenery from a Shinkansen?
  3. Learning about Tokyo’s Otaku culture—Tokyo has become a sacred place for “Otaku” worldwide in Japan. Because this city was originally developed as an electric town ( you will be surprised to learn this town’s history), electronics are famous here. For all electronic lovers, this place is the best place to buy imported electronics. I must suggest that an electronic momento from an Otaku is a must.
  4. See Hanami – isn’t the name extraordinary? You must be wondering what exactly Hanami is. This is that time of the year in Japan (March-end to April), where the cherry blossoms bloom to their complete nature, and people from far distances visit this place just to view the blossoms of the tree. These cherries blossom at night and are surely a great and soothing sight to be seen. Now you know why we call it a cherry blossom?

These are a few things you should do/see/visit while enjoying a long weekend in Japan.
