Destination according to region

While places in the same region also tend to be somewhat similar due to the similarity in climate, environment, every place is unique and has its own culture and tradition. Needless to say, it is also easier to get around cities that are geographically closer to each other making it easier to fit many places you should consider visiting within your busy time schedule.

Kanto Region

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.
