What To Do In Japan: Tokyo, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kanazawa, Takayama, Nagano

[Music] Japan has four main islands eight regions and 47 Prix fictions if it's your first time visiting it's probably very hard to choose where to go so in this video let me show you some of the main places you can visit to get a taste of Japan and this time I went with all japan tours so let me show you how you can enjoy Japan in just eight days we start off our trip with the arrival at Narita International Airport and then travels through ten prefectures before departing and Osaka I won't be including the arrival and departure days so let's start off with day two in the morning we were picked up our English speaking Japanese tour guide and then we were taken to all the locations by a private tour bus at each location you arrive at the tour guide we'll explain a little bit about the area and what to do and then you will have free time to explore and wonder off yourself the first place we went to was a Saxa which is one of Tokyo's old traditional areas there are many things to do and see here including the tempo and the very popular shopping street which is food or street food and souvenirs Nathan Isidora tends to be quite crowded especially during daytime but if you just go one or two streets away from the Main Street you will find many other interesting shops with less crowd another favorite place of mine to go to is the isackson tourist information center where you can get a free view of Sky Tree and a bird's-eye view of the shops and temples don't forget to check out samhita pack especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom Ueno Zoo is a large public park next to no station in central Tokyo there are many things to do here from temples museums to zoos it's also one of the most popular places to see cherry blossoms and Tokyo with more than a thousand trees lining and central path for lunch we have ski Aki which is a very popular Japanese hotpot dish ski Aki consists of beef and vegetables cooked in a soy sauce and sugar soup base then you can dip it in the egg was optional folder makes it like 10 times better getting around by the private ballot to see views you usually can't see from the trains Meiji Shrine is just behind the busy Harajuku station and is a great place to go to be surrounded by nature and culture in the busy city the Imperial Palace is where Japan's imperial family lives although you can't enter the inside of the palace you can enjoy the contrast of the high-rise buildings among the traditional Japanese gardens Tokyo Tower is a symbol of Japan's post-war rebirth as a major economic power you can go up to its observatory and get a great view of Tokyo from the centre the hotel's reserved allocated and convenient locations in case you still want to explore some more after the tour ends [Music] Hotel buffet breakfast is included everyday so you can enjoy a variety of different foods in the morning everyone's here this morning come when I put my hair down today good morning you feeling better today how is everybody this morning I thought well we're gonna go to her cornet it's a reason area for Wawa's rifle yeah one of the main attractions in Hakone is riding the rope way up to a walk at any station to see the volcanic fumes so at the top of orga Donny you can actually get so you eat that you can longer pretty good the piece pack has a nice wide open space atmosphere and is another spot to see melt through G up close for lunch we had deep-fried pork cutlet to make the sauce you have the ground the sesame seeds and add a sweet tonkatsu sauce to it [Applause] but another thing have you noticed that so you know it's good rather than taking just a ton of photos of the famous Mount Fuji learn more about the history and the story behind it at the world heritage centre lake kawaguchi is the main lick out of the five lakes so enjoy the peaceful sounds of the water ripples and Mount Fuji right in front of you [Music] I really can tell Wow this room is huge it's bigger than my room back at home the hotel was so nice they even had a Japanese hot springs which I love to go to after a long day [Music] we are going to take a one and a half hour ride through the countryside and mountains to go to Matsumoto castle which is one of the twelve original castles in Japan next we were off to Takayama which is a city located amongst the Japanese Alps but before that we grabbed lunch up in the mountains for lunch we had a Japanese set which included fresh vegetables picked from the local area after arriving in Takayama the first thing you feel when entering this town is the traditional atmosphere it has pajama Jinja is the only traditional local government office still in existence when you wander around the inside you will show come across some interesting thing is not for you soon there are a lot of shops in this area where you can buy souvenirs and street food [Music] but I recommend trying out their specialty which is the raw beef sushi and the Japanese sake that I came up don't pour a lot for the main one this is what it looks like again it's huge after the hotel buffet breakfast we visited the Takayama money market the market was right next to the Riverside which gave it a very peaceful and local atmosphere I found many interesting stores here like this calligraphy store and a shop that sold marshmallow eggs but I must try at the market is the fresh and sweet next we headed up the mountains to see the world heritage-listed Shirokov oh here you can see the gaashah style farm houses and even though it was early spring there was still a lot of snow on the ground and on the houses however you can enjoy different scenic views all year round for lunch we had a Japanese set meal including soba noodles tempura fried chicken and noodle next we headed to Kendrick Wien in Kanazawa which is one of Japan's top three beautiful gardens this park is also beautiful and spring with the blooming cherry blossoms next we experienced a bullet train ride from my beretta Kyoto which can reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour after having some free time at Kyoto station to eat dinner we got dropped back at our hotel they don't need to bids but maybe I can sleep on wine and mess up the other one two more bids the bidder in the morning we visited the famous kiyomi's a temple is known for its wooden stage that is 13 meters above the hillside below no say there's a kid that needs to move keep going you're still good you're older keep going okay bend down and touch it to the left [Music] we just finished the kimono show and this show goes on every hour
