Top 5 Best Places In Japan

Koya-san

Koya-san or Mount Koya is the most significant site in Shingon Buddhism, a group that has been drilled in Japan since 805 when it was presented by Kobo Daishi. It remains the home office for the group and the community that grew up around the sanctuary. The site of Kobo Daishi's tomb, this lush Mount Koya is additionally the beginning and completion spot of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Vacationers can experience the priest's life here as they are permitted to remain medium-term in the sanctuary.

Takayama

Takayama is an utterly gorgeous small town on the edge of the Japan Alps and one of the best less-visited places to go in Japan. I loved wandering the historic centre full of traditional wooden houses, colourful shrines, neatly shaped trees, and bright red bridges over the river.

There’s lots to do in the surrounding countryside and we could easily have spent longer than the two nights we had here.

In Takayama don’t miss:

Wandering the old town in the early morning before the crowds arrive

Buying delicious fruit from the morning markets

Snacking on mitarashi-dango (rice balls grilled in soy) from a street stall.

Seeing the extravagant floats at the Festival Floats Exhibition Hall.

Visiting the Hida Folk Village to see traditional thatched houses

KANAZAWA

The fundamental reason guests rush to Kanazawa is Kenrokuen Garden, thought about one of Japan's Three Great Gardens. Neighboring Kenrokuen is Kanazawa Castle. Close-by you will discover the flawlessly safeguarded Higashi Chaya-gai, the city's memorable teahouse and geisha locale.

Kanazawa is likewise home to the D.T. Suzuki Museum of Buddhist way of thinking, the Nagamachi Bukeyashiki samurai area, the clamoring Omicho Market, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, and Myoryu-ji (the Ninja Temple).

Naoshima

Formally part of Kagawa Prefecture, Naoshima is a little island in the Seto Inland Sea. In spite of the fact that it is a decent provincial escape from Tokyo, the island is most popular for its various present day craftsmanship historical centers, design, and figures. A considerable lot of these were planned by the outstanding planner Ando Tadao. A few spots to look out for are the Chichu Art Museum, the Lee Ufan Museum, and the Benesse House.
As you may envision getting to Naoshima is a major agony in the, blunder, posterior! You're going to need to initially advance toward either Uno port in Okayama Prefecture or Takamatsu port in Kagawa prefecture before you can get a ship out to the island. The ports themselves are hard enough to discover not to mention the island so plan for a long adventure and hope to remain medium-term in the territory.

Mount Fuji

Point of fact Japan's most conspicuous milestone, superb Mount (Fuji-san) is likewise the nation's most astounding mountain top, transcending 3,776 meters over a generally to a great extent level scene toward the south and east, and tall enough to be seen from Tokyo in excess of 100 kilometers away. Mount Fuji has for a considerable length of time been praised in craftsmanship and writing and is presently considered so significant a symbol that UNESCO perceived its reality social centrality in 2013. Some portion of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Mount Fuji is move by in excess of a million people each late spring as a demonstration of journey, which comes full circle in viewing the dawn from its summit. While some still start their move from the base, most of climbers currently begin from over the midway mark, at the fifth Station, bringing about a progressively reasonable six or so hour rising. Obviously, for some, essentially seeing the mountain from the separation, or from the solace of a speeding train, is sufficient to state "been there, done that."
