Kanto
22 destinations
Overview
The engine of modern Japan. Tokyo alone could absorb two weeks without repetition - from the neon labyrinth of Shinjuku to the quiet lanes of Yanaka. The wider Kanto plain contains Nikko's ornate mountain shrines, Kamakura's coastal Buddha, Yokohama's cosmopolitan waterfront, and the pilgrimage circuit of the Izu Peninsula. Mount Fuji sits at the region's edge, close enough for a day trip but better with a night.
Who it's for
First-time visitors who need the Tokyo baseline, urban explorers, pop culture and tech enthusiasts, and day-trippers who prefer a city hub.
