Kanto Region (関東地方)

The Kanto region, centered around Tokyo, offers a combination of bustling urban life, serene mountain getaways, and stunning subtropical islands. Tokyo itself is a vibrant city that seamlessly blends traditional and modern lifestyles. However, before heading off to explore other destinations like Kyoto, it’s worth taking the time to discover the onsen resorts, pristine mountain valleys, beautiful beaches, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and cultural treasures that Kanto has to offer. Within easy reach of Tokyo, cities like Yokohama, Gunma, Saitama, and Ibaraki boast rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The volcanic Ogasawara Islands provide a unique subtropical escape, with diverse wildlife and crystal-clear waters. Kanto’s culinary scene is equally diverse, with a wide range of global cuisines available in restaurants catering to all budgets.
