If you're a Japan itinerary just looks like this, you are doing it wrong. And don't get me wrong, those places are great, but some of the best spots are just outside of the cities. Tokyo is right next to places like Niko, full of Grand Forest Rines and Waterfalls. Or Kamakura and Nanoshima, the chill coastal towns with beachside temples. Meanwhile Osaka has spots like Uji, Japan's much a capital, or the mountain top temple town of Koyasan. Or spots like Kobe, which yes, is where the beef comes from. But there's also way more to it than that, and know these spots aren't secrets, but they're a great place to start. If you want to see them for yourself, we're making guides to help you figure it all out. And the first ones out now, the links in our bio.
