With a number of shrines, including the iconic Fushimi Inari, and a host of museums, including the Kyoto International Manga Museum, days are fascinating in Kyoto. The geisha district of Gion also draws tourists.
The bustling capital city of Tokyo has a skyline dotted with incredible skyscrapers. The parks of the city are well maintained and beautiful and Tokyo holds a host of iconic places within its boundaries. The Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world, is overwhelming to witness and should not be missed. Close to the crossing in the district of Shibuya itself stands the bronze statue of Hachiko, the dog who waited for his human till his last breath.
Recognised for its stunning night view, Sapporo in Hokkaido is an unmissable addition to Japan tour packages.

The representative tower of Tokyo is modelled on the Eiffel, but is 13 meters taller than its inspiration. It is the world’s tallest self supported steel tower, and has an observation deck offering a bird’s eye view of the city. Patrons can visit the cafe in the tower and enjoy the view along with a cup of tea. At night, the tower lights up and is a sight to behold.
One of Japan’s most revered shrines, Todai-Ji temple is a landmark of Nara, and was the head temple of all Buddhist Temples in the country. The massive main hall of the temple holds one of the largest idols of Buddha in Japan. The temple lies close to the deer park of Nara, and often the deer venture into the temple premises.
The symmetrically shaped active volcano of Mount Fuji is one of Japan’s most famous landmarks. Visitors can attempt to climb it in July and August, and there are many other viewpoints for the other months. When visibility is nice, Lake Ashi in Hakone is one of the best places to see Fuji.
