Top places to visit in Japan

PokePark Kanto

The world’s first ever permanent Pokemon Park!

PokePark Kanto is a Pokémon themed trainers area that can be found in Tokyo’s amusement park Yumiuriland.
An unforgettable experience that recently opened in February 2026, PokePark Kanto features a 500 metre long nature trail with over 600 Pokémon can be seen living in their natural habitats.

An absolute must see for Pokémon fans all over the world!

Mt. Fuji

Located approximately 100km Southwest of Tokyo, Mt. Fuji is Japan’s highest peak. Also an active volcano, 3,776metres (12,389feet), Mt. Fuji is known for its nearly perfect conical shape. Not to worry, the last time Fuji erupted was in the 1700’s from 1707 to 1708.
Considered a sacred site in Japan, this UNESCO World Heritage site can be found in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.

Offering breathtaking views, particularly during sunrise, the hike to the top of Mt. Fuji is not particularly a difficult one. With the climb taking around 5-10 hours, it’s long and strenuous more than anything.

Climbing season is more popular during the months of early July to early September, with visitors ranging in the high 300,000’s.

Kyoto, Japan

Once known as the capital city of Japan, Kyoto is now known as the cultural heart of Japan.

Dive into Japan’s rich culture with iconic temples and shrines such as; The Kinkaka-ji (Golden Pavillion) – which is covered in gold leaf, and the Serene Zen Rock Garden at Ryoan-ji Temple.

Embrace yourself in the serene nature of the bamboo forests;

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

Known for its serene and iconic towering bamboo stalks and tranquil trails

Embrace the Spring Season with a walk through the Philosophers Path for the most beautiful cherry blossoms you’ll ever see.

A sweet stone path throughout the Northern part of Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, the Philosophers Path offers a quiet retreat of peace and relaxation. The best times to view the cherry blossoms is between the last week of March till around mid April.
