The Beauty Of Japan
Tokyo is a blended mixture of traditional Japanese culture and pop culture. Skyscrapers, parks, gardens, temples, shopping, and various foods. Tokyo is one city with many more inside. So jump on the railway, subway, monorail, bus, or taxi and stroll around in this beautiful city.
A lot of people believe we only find one true love in our lives. But what they don't realize is that we can have several lives.

Yokohama
In the south part of Tokyo, we have Yokohama. It's a popular place to live, with both China town and Minatomirai as popular spots to visit. You can also stroll around in their own city center or take various ferries to see another view of Tokyo.
The Picture on the left is taken in Nara. You can easily go there if you are in either Kyoto or Osaka (~1 hour). Most famous for their deer walking around freely, but you can also enjoy beautiful temples, gardens, and much more.
On the right, we have Kōtoku-in, in Kamakura. You can enjoy various temples and small stores here. Kamakura is the closest beach town to Tokyo and use to be crowded in the summers when people come to visit both the traditional culture and the beach.
Wherever You Live Is Your Temple, If You Treat It Like One.

Okinawa
I have only been to Miyako-jima, but what a beautiful place. Rent a car, beach hop, and don't forget to try the delicious Okinawan foods.
Looking forward to my next visit.
Hakone
Mountain area with great nature, hot springs, ferrie, and a cable car. You could do a day trip from Tokyo, but I would recommend staying over one night or taking a pit stop here on your road trip down to Shizuoka.
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Izu
Another hot spring area with great nature. Here are you also surrounded by white sands and blue oceans. Perfect for a weekend road trip from Tokyo.
Japan is an island with most Japanese people living there. This together with a well-kept architecture and culture, sets you up for a real experience.
Thank you.
