芦ノ湖

箱根神社

Perched on the misty shores of Lake Ashi, Hakone Shrine is best known for its striking vermilion torii rising from the water and its centuries-old cedar-lined approach. Visitors can wander the tranquil paths, offer prayers at the historic shrine, and enjoy sweeping views of the lake and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.

大涌谷

Owakudani is a dramatic volcanic valley formed about 3,000 years ago when the Hakone volcano erupted; today its steaming sulphur vents and hot springs create an otherworldly landscape to explore. Visitors can smell the sulphur, watch clouds of steam rising from the ground, and snap striking photos of the rugged valley and surrounding peaks.

箱根

Hakone is a scenic escape in Kanagawa where steaming onsen, misty volcanic valleys and lakeside views of Mount Fuji meet. Ride the mountain railway and ropeway, cruise Lake Ashi past a vermilion torii, visit quirky open-air museums, then relax in a traditional ryokan for the full restorative experience.

富士山

Towering at 3,776 meters, Mount Fuji is Japan’s iconic peak — a must-see backdrop for photographers and a bucket-list climb for hikers who want to catch the famous sunrise (goraiko) from the summit. In addition to seasonal hikes, visitors can explore the Fuji Five Lakes and Hakone hot springs, or simply admire the mountain’s perfect cone from nearby towns and viewpoints.

河口湖

Set at about 800 metres at the foot of Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchiko offers sweeping, postcard-perfect views and the longest shoreline among the Fuji Five Lakes. Stroll or cycle the lakeside paths, take a tranquil boat cruise or linger in a café to watch cool summer light or the often-icy, photogenic winters unfold.

東京タワー

Rising above Minato since 1958 and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower’s white-and-orange lattice reaches 332.9 meters and offers sweeping city views from its observation decks. Visit for panoramic photo ops, seasonal illumination shows after dark, and the lively shops and cafés tucked beneath the iconic structure.

東京スカイツリー

Rising 634 meters above Sumida, Tokyo Skytree is Japan’s iconic, record-setting tower and a top spot for breathtaking city views. Ride the high-speed elevators to glass-floored observation decks, enjoy restaurants and the Solamachi shopping complex at its base, and stick around after dark for dramatic nighttime illuminations.

浅草寺

Senso-ji is Tokyo's oldest temple and the spiritual center of Asakusa, known for the Kaminarimon gate, Nakamise shopping street, and the main hall dedicated to Kannon.

明治神宮

Nestled in a peaceful forest in bustling Shibuya, Meiji Shrine honors Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken and offers a calm retreat from the city. Stroll beneath towering torii gates, admire rows of ceremonial sake barrels, glimpse Shinto rituals, and write your wishes on ema as seasonal festivals animate the grounds.

渋谷スクランブル交差点

Stand in the middle of Shibuya Crossing and feel Tokyo’s pulse as up to 3,000 people surge across the intersection on a single green light, framed by towering billboards and neon. It’s an iconic, must-see moment—perfect for people-watching, grabbing a photo from an overlooking café, or simply soaking in the city’s kinetic energy.

新宿御苑

Shinjuku Gyoen is a peaceful green oasis in the heart of Tokyo where traditional Japanese landscaping meets English and French garden styles, born from an Edo-period residence. Wander beneath famous cherry-tree avenues in spring, picnic on wide lawns, and enjoy seasonal blossoms, tranquil ponds and skyline views any time of year.
