Popular Destinations in Japan
Tokyo
Tokyo is an enchanting capital that delights every visitor who comes across it for many reasons.
Some parts look futuristic and modern, with skyscrapers as tall as the eye can see, whereas you may discover some hidden streets and country where the homes are basked in a golden light and surrounded by dark foliage.
You can experience a wide range of art and culture in Tokyo, from the traditional anime feeling to old impressionist galleries; Tokyo has it all!
Make sure you sample local cuisine; it is to die for! Many people travel worldwide to try sushi in Japan, which is not to be missed.
Kyoto
Kyoto is a spiritual hub, a perfect place to walk around and be cleansed of the modern downers of daily city life.
With more than 2,000 temples and shrines, this city is a paradise of religious architecture and has incredible Zen Gardens where you can spend your time.
Despite being the cultural capital of Japan, Kyoto has a bustling nightlife and is full of upmarket bars and restaurants.
Relax after a night of drinking Sake in a traditional Japanese Bathhouse with a cup of green matcha tea.
Sapporo
Japan's fifth largest city, Sapporo, has everything to offer. Close to the Hokkaido Mountain range, which is perfect for Skiing and Snowboarding in winter, many like to stay here for a few days and then jet off to Niseko to enjoy the slopes.
Summer is the best season for Sapporo, as it hosts many beer festivals and food events!
In February, despite the cold, Sapporo's population doubles during the famous Snow Festival.
Osaka
Often dubbed the 'Soul of Japan, Osaka is more laid back and relaxed than busy Tokyo. A large city nonetheless, it is filled with hidden treasures that keep tourists returning for more.
Ensure you head to Universal Studios Japan, Osaka's waterfront, or the equally fascinating Osaka Aquarium.
Osaka also hosts an incredible castle with unique whitewashed colours.

Travel Risks in Japan
Due to radiation risk, do not travel to Area 3 near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. Consult a guide before travelling anywhere outside of commercial Japan.
Japan is a relatively safe country to visit; the locals are friendly, and the glitz of technology will make you feel secure in the cities.
However, keep an eye on your belongings and never leave them unattended, as there is always a risk of pickpocketing in built-up areas.
Be aware of credit card skimming and other monetary scams.
Japan is very safe for Women travellers; however, during rush hours, women should note that gropers hunt crowded trains. Luckily, many trains heading to the suburbs have Women-only cars. However, they usually look for Local Women (presumably, they are less likely to make a scene).
