Top Tips

Thanks to our perfect partners Intrepis, we've put together some of our favourite things for you to see and do in Japan.


Top Tip
1 Hiroshima is a bustling metropolis with a tragic history and a
visit to the ruins of the A-Bomb Dome building, one of 11 structures left
partially standing after the nuclear bomb blast on 6th August 1945, leaves
a horrifying reminder of the destruction of nuclear war.
2 Travelling by Shinkansen (bullet train) is an absolute buzz,
reaching speeds of up to 270km per hour!
3 In the hot spring region of Hakone, take a boat across Lake
Ashino-ko followed by a picturesque cable car journey over the surrounding
mountains. You may be lucky to sneak a peek at a postcard view of Mt Fuji
looming in the distance.
4 While in Tokyo, head to the Shinjuku region and visit
'Omoide-Yokocho' - an alley lined with wooden shacks selling Yakitori &
cold beer. A fantastic remnant of post-war Tokyo - stop by around 7pm for some
nostalgia!
