Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Buy your ticket and travel to confirm, whether Japan is the Japan that you imagined.

Fushimi Inari is a vast shrine complex consisting of five shrines sprawled across the wooded slopes of Inari-san. It is one of Japan's most popular shrines and is the head shrine for some 40,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout the country. The walk around the upper precincts of the shrine is a pleasant day hike. It is also very eerie in the late afternoon and early evening when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air.

Nishiki Market is a place where locals go to buy ingredients for Kyoto cuisine. It is narrow and can get crowded, so it is best to visit early or later in the afternoon. Many stores give out free samples, but it is considered impolite to eat while walking. You should also ask before taking pictures.

iii. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

The bamboo grove is most atmospheric near Ōkōchi Sansō villa. Since the grove is free to enter, you can just chilling and take some pictures. If you prefer less crowded bamboo forest, remember to visit early in the morning or on a weekday.


3. Mt Fuji: Best for views and pilgrimages

Mt Fuji is an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring mountain, especially when seen up close. The perfectly symmetrical cone-shape of the mountain is something that many people admire, and the views from the summit at dawn are simply magical.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage up the mountain as part of a centuries-old tradition. For those who don't want to make the climb up Mt Fuji, there are other less-daunting peaks nearby that offer just as spectacular views.

Whether you're interested in exploring the country's natural beauty, learning about its fascinating culture, or simply indulging in its delicious food, Japan is sure to offer an unforgettable experience.
