Japan is an extremely futuristic country with well-preserved cultural integrity. This is where bullet trains and robots coexist with century-old shrines and culture. Japanese food and art is renowned world over, and the country boasts a stunning natural scenery as well.
Hokkaido: The northernmost of Japan’s main islands, Hokkaido, is known for its volcanoes, onsens and ski areas at its four excellent national parks – Daisetsuzan, Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu, Shiretoko and Akan. The island’s main city Sapporo is the fifth-largest in the country and makes a perfect base to explore the island’s mountains and hot springs. The annual Snow Festival is a major attraction in the city. The city of Hakodate is known as the southern gateway to the island and popular for the stunning views from Mount Hakodate. Niseko is the superstar of Hokkaido’s long list of ski-resorts.
Kyushu: Kyushu, Japan’s third-largest island is home to Nagasaki, the second city that was annihilated by atom bomb, where you will find numerous monuments and memorials. Like Hiroshima, Nagasaki is also a thriving city today. Kumamoto city is known for its 17th-century Kumamoto castle and the landscaped Suizenji Garden. The stunning Takachiho Gorge – a picturesque gorge with a beautiful waterfall is another highlight of the island.
