Japan's Absolute Essentials

This collection spans Japan's diverse landscape, from the UNESCO-listed Shurijo Castle in Okinawa to the 13-meter bronze Great Buddha in Kamakura.

Misen and Lake Kawaguchi at the base of Mount Fuji. The list also features cultural hubs like the traditional Namiki Yabusoba restaurant, the vibrant Kabukicho district, and the seasonal floral displays of Hitachi Seaside Park.
