Japan stretches for about three thousand kilometres, from the snowy forests of Hokkaido to the coral beaches of Okinawa. In a single trip you can see a sacred volcano, wooden temples more than a thousand years old, castles, thatched mountain villages and some of the biggest and most modern cities on Earth. Here are the most beautiful places in Japan, region by region, with puzzles from every one of them.<\/p>\n
The best places to visit in Japan<\/strong> are Tokyo, Kyoto, Mount Fuji, Nara, Osaka, Hiroshima and the island of Miyajima, Himeji Castle and the Japanese Alps with Shirakawa-go and Takayama; for nature, add Hokkaido, Nikko, Yakushima and Okinawa. Spring, from late March to early April, and autumn, from late October to early December, are the most beautiful seasons.<\/p>\n Tokyo is the heart of the largest urban area in the world, yet among its towers you will still find quiet shrines, old temples and gardens. Start in Asakusa at Senso-ji, the city’s oldest temple, walk under the forest of Meiji Jingu, and look across the moat to the Imperial Palace, built on the site of the shoguns’ Edo Castle.<\/p>\nTokyo<\/h2>\n
