Fuji Safari Park
With a 65 metre Elephant pool built just this year and a chance to pet cub lions, Fuji Safari Park is Japan’s go-to place for animal lovers. Giraffes, lions, tigers and more rare wildlife can be seen at the safari park that lies at the foot of Mt.Fuji
Experience Buddhist Temples
Sens?-ji is an Ancient Buddhist temple in Tokyo, which is one of the most renowned in all of Japan. Thousands travel to the temple and walk through Nakamise-d?ri each year, which is a walkway to the Temple containing many traditional shops and eating places.
Visit century old castles
Stand in awe of the mesmerising Japanese architecture which dates back 100s of years. Nagano is where you can explore the 16th century Matsumoto Castle, which is Japan’s oldest. Matsumoto is one of Japan’s finest examples of their expansive history.
Legendary cuisine
From a classic sushi dish to handmade noodles, Japan is home to a variety of gorgeous local delicacy. Whether you’re in a posh restaurant or a street market, the food is simply exquisite.
Visit one of the three great gardens of Japan
Head on a path with nature by travelling to Kenroku-en, one of Japan’s three great gardens. Undisturbed acres combine together to create a transcending experience of relaxation.
Go far, go fast
The Bullet Train is one of the fastest trains in the world with speeds of up to 200mph. Japan’s island linking railway network is unlike any other and it’s a must use if you’re planning on travelling around Japan and its islands.
Once in a lifetime festivals
Japan is a festive country at heart, which takes pride in the changing of the seasons. From Kagoshima’s summer festival, which is bursting with colour to Sapporo’s amazing snow festival. Wherever you go in Japan you will find inspiring events around the year!
Bamboo Forest Sagano (Kyoto)
The picturesque bamboo forest in Sagano is a fine example of how Japan’s beautiful surroundings have inspired the world. If you’ve ever seen the Chinese film House of Flying Daggers, which has a scene in a bamboo forest, you’ll know just how stunning it can be.
