Japan's Hidden Gems

Explore Japan’s offbeat destinations, from the Kengo Kuma-designed Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center to the historic Kōchi Castle, one of the country's few remaining original wooden fortresses. This collection includes the quirky TOTO Museum in Kitakyushu, the bronze Great Buddha of Takaoka, and artistic installations like the Regent in Olives on Shodoshima. Natural wonders like the low-tide sandbar of Kibou no Michi and the colorful shisha statues at Yoneko-yaki Pottery highlight the country's diverse regional culture and landscapes.
