7 of Japan's Natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites
-
- In total, Japan is home to 34 national parks, which can be found across the archipelago from Hokkaido to Okinawa. But only a handful have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites for their natural beauty and biodiversity. In this article, we’ll introduce you to seven of them, including what you can expect to see, how to get there and where to base yourself while visiting the national park. Shiretoko National Park Shiretoko National Park Encompassing most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of Hokkaidō, Shiretoko National Park is one of the most remote regions of Japan. It features unspoiled landscapes, a variety of wildlife (including a large population of brown bears) and is one of the southernmost places in the Northern Hemisphere to see drift ice. Hiking trails wind through its temperate and subalpine forests, which are dominated by Erman’s birch, Sakhalin fir, and Mongolian oak, as well as to the Kamuiwakka Hot Falls from which warm spring water cascades. Due to its remote location, Shiretoko National Park is difficult to access independently, so it’s recommended that you visit with a tour or hire a rental car. The closest railway stations are JR Shari Station and JR Shiretoko Shari Station, with buses connecting from both stations to the national park. Shiretoko National Park [Access] From Memanbetsu Airport in Hokkaido, take the Shiretoko Airport Liner bus for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Hokkaido Kushiro Airport to JR Kushiro Station, then change to JR Kushiro Main Line to JR Shiretoko Shari Station (about two hours), followed by the Shiretoko Line bus (one hour). Nikko National Park Nikko National Park Much easier to access is Nikko National Park, which encompasses mountains, lakes, waterfalls, wetlands, and marshes in the Kantō region. It sprawls across four prefectures - Tochigi, Gunma, Fukushima, and Niigata - and was designated as an imperial park in 1911. Aside from its spectacular scenery which can be explored on a network of hiking trails, Nikko is also famed for its historic Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site. That include the Nikkō Tōshō-gū which most of the shrine complex seen today was renewed in the 17th century and Rinnō-ji that was said to be built in the 8th century. Autumn foliage in Nikko National Park are particularly impressive, so does the 97-meter-high Kegon Falls and the twin cascades of Ryuzu Falls. Also, not to miss in Nikko are the sparkling waters of Lake Chūzenji, which is backed by the 2,486-meter peak of Mount Nantai. Nikko National Park [Access] If you have a JR pass, take the Shinkansen(bullet train) from Tokyo Station to Utsunomiya Station, then change to JR Nikko Line which takes about 2 hours in total. Alternatively, you can ride the Tobu Railway's Limited Express from Asakusa Station and change at Shimo-Imaichi Station before continuing on the journey to Nikko Station (total ride is about two hours). Ogasawara National Park Ogasawara National Park While the Ogasawara Islands, a chain of volcanic islands are technically part of Tokyo, they lie around 1,000 kilometers south of the city in the Pacific Ocean. Only the two largest islands, Chichijima (Father island) and Hahajima (Mother Island) are inhabited. Following U.S. occupation during World War II, the archipelago was returned to Japan in 1968 and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011. Ogasawara National Park’s subtropical islands are home to several endemic species, including the critically endangered Bonin flying fox and the Ogasawara snake-eyed skink. The surrounding waters provide habitat for humpback whales and dolphins, as well as green sea turtles and a variety of tropical fishes. Highlights of visiting the islands include snorkeling on the coral reefs, seeing sea turtles laying their eggs on the sandy beaches (during the breeding season only) and soaking up the views of Futami Port from the top of Mount Asahi. Ogasawara National Park With no airports on the two largest islands, Chichijima and Hahajima, transportation to the those islands are only possible by ship. About once a week, the Ogasawara Maru ocean liner departs from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier and stays in Chichijima for three nights. It departs from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier at 11am arriving at Chichijima the next day at 11am. And makes the return journey departing the island at 3pm, arriving at Tokyo Takeshiba Pier around 24 hours later. If you’re planning to make the trip, the total journey takes five nights and six days. The timetable may change so its best to check its official webpage from here. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park One of the most popular national parks in Japan for both locals and visiting tourists is undoubtedly Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. It centers around the iconic peak of Mount Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes, as well as comprising Hakone, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Shichito Islands. Rather than being a single area, the park is a collection of dispersed tourist sites that encompass a variety of natural features - hot springs, coastlines, mountains, lakes, and more than 1,000 volcanic islands. Highlights of the national park include hiking to the top of Mount Fuji to see the sunrise across Japan and photographing the cherry blossoms along the shores of Lake Kawaguchi. Impressive views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from the hiking trails of the Owakudani Valley while there are magnificent panoramas of the Izu Shichito Islands from the rugged Cape Irozaki. Several picturesque waterfalls also dot the national park, including Kawazunanadaru Falls and Shiraito-no-taki Falls. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park [Access] About two hours onboard the JR or Fujikyu train from Tokyo to the Mt. Fuji area; about two hours onboard the Odakyu Limited Express train to the Hakone area; about three hours onboard the JR Limited Express Odoriko to Shimoda on the Izu Peninsula. Yoshino-Kumano National Park Yoshino-Kumano National Park Stretching from north to south across the Kii Peninsula, Yoshino-Kumano National Park is gradually increasing in popularity with tourists due to its Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. The park encompasses Nara, Wakayama and Mie prefectures and includes the summit of Mount Yoshino, which is famed for its thousands of sakura trees that ignite in pink and white during the cherry blossom season. Highlights of Yoshino-Kumano National Park include the UNESCO-listed Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, which is one of the three Kumano shrines accessed on the Kumano Kodo. Rather than being a single trail, the Kumano Kodo is a network of pilgrimage trails that have been accessed for more than 1,000 years by devotees as a religious purification rite.Aside from its picturesque natural landscapes and pilgrimage route, the Kii Peninsula’s surrounding coastline is fast becoming a leading dive destination in Japan, with a rich diversity of corals and tropical fish flourishing under the influence of the Kuroshio Current. Yoshino-Kumano National Park [Access] Take the Kintetsu Limited Express from Kyoto or Osaka for about 90 minutes. There are various ways to reach the trails of the Kumano Kodo, with Kumanoshi Ekimae accessible in around 3 hours 30 minutes by express bus from Nagoya. Setonaikai National Park Setonaikai National Park Setonaikai National Park is the biggest national park in Japan, encompassing parts of the mainland and the Seto Inland Sea between the Chugoku and Shikoku regions. It’s home to one of the country’s most famous cycling routes - the Shimanami Kaido highway - which connects the park’s various islands across a network of bridges. Beginning in Onomichi City and passing through several charming towns, it extends over 60 kilometers and offers cyclers sweeping views across the Seto Inland Sea. Setonaikai National Park Highlights of the Setonaikai National Park include hiking to the ancient worship center of Mount Misen and taking in the views of the Bisan-Seto Strait from the Goshikidai Plateau. Coincide your visit with low tide to walk between the Karanijima Islands and photograph the famed “floating” torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, one of Hayashi Gahō's “Three Views of Japan”. You can experience the Naruto Whirlpools (which are Japan’s fastest) by boat or from the Naruto Bridge, with pleasure cruises also exploring the natural scenery of the Kanmon Straits between Kyushu and Honshu. Yakushima National Park Yakushima National Park Encompassing parts of the Ōsumi Islands, Kuchinoerabu-jima and Tanegashima, Yakushima National Park is a spectacular protected area in Kyushu’s Kagoshima Prefecture. It’s famed for the Yakusugi, a Japanese cedar that’s more than 1,000 years old, as well as the Jomonsugi, the oldest and largest among the old-growth cryptomeria trees in Yakushima. Daiousugi cedar and Mount Miyanoura (1,936m), which is the highest mountain in central Kyushu has been designated as one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, is also something to take a note of. When it comes to wildlife, Yakushima National Park is home to the endangered Ryukyu flying fox and its own subspecies of Japanese macaque, while loggerhead sea turtles visit seasonally to lay their eggs on the beaches.The best way to explore Yakushima National Park is by foot with one of the local tour operators. Single-day and multi-day trips are available taking you to the highlights of the national park, without having to worry about public transport logistics. Yakushima National Park [Access] About 40 minutes by plane from Kagoshima Airport or about two hours by high-speed ship from Kagoshima Honko Port.

Nikko: Ice hiking in the hidden valley
-
- Nikko is not all about World Heritage Site like Nikko Toshogu Shrine! It is also home to a vast park across Tochigi, Fukushima and Gunma prefectures with a total area of 114,908 hectares including mountains, waterfalls, marshlands and forests. Out of the many falls in Nikko, there is a hidden narrow ravine, the Unryu Keikoku or the “Cloud Dragon Valley” which lies in the depth of the mountains of Nikko where its rare icefalls can only be seen for few weeks in winter. Its spectacular view of 100 meter wide ice wall and as high as 10 meter icicles are a true beauty of nature that can only be reached by hiking. Unryu Keikoku “Cloud Dragon Valley” Unryu Keikoku is a generic name of the ravine that starts halfway up Mt. Nyhohozan, one of the three main mountains in northern part of Nikko. It is on the headwater of Inari river hidden in the depths of the ravine in the unexplored area and to get there, there are no clear hiking trails. Entrance to the “unknown” world of the hidden Unryu Keikoku Many of us might have heard of Kegon no Taki (Kegon Waterfall) one of the most famous Nikko’s falls located at Nikko National Park.However, did you know that there is a breathtaking waterfall in the hidden depths of Unryu Keikoku with spectacular view when it's frozen in winter?It's a winter wonderland with multiple frozen waterfalls creating thousands of hanging icicles and wide ice walls enough to do ice climb, attracting many experienced hikers and ice climbing enthusiasts. ©NaturePlanet Frozen meets flowing, going over the river to head to the falls ©NaturePlanet Ice climbing over the icefalls Unlike Kegon Waterfall where there is only a single fall, Unryu Keikoku has various forms of falls and each one is different and unique in its appearance in winter. In the deepest area of the ravine lies the main waterfall, Unryu waterfall (Unryu-baku) which looks like a dragon going up into the sky. ©NaturePlanet Close up of the Unryu waterfall (Unryu-baku) and its view from a distance Once entering the ravine, Tomoshirazu waterfall will come into the sight. This is literally translated as “I can’t be bothered about my friends” in the sense that its trail is narrow and dangerous that you have to mind your own business and couldn’t be bothered to help your friends. ©NaturePlanet Tomoshirazu waterfall Tsubame Iwa (sparrow rock) with giant icicles in the arena With the increased number of hikers, the mountain trails have been paved a lot but there is no “correct” way to get to the icefalls. Therefore, at your own risk, hikers can hike up in anyways like taking a detour by going up the hill instead of taking the winding icy trail. 12point crampons, better to have more points to keep you safe and easier to tackle the steep valley walls Winterwonderland hike Icicles and the river flowing beneath it Its trailhead is located about 20-minute drive from Nikko Station and is entirely covered with ice and snow. Therefore, all hikers must bring three types of sacred artifacts: crampons, helmets and trekking poles, for safety reasons. Overall hiking is about 10km, between 5 to 6 hours, with approximately 400m of elevation gained and lost during the hike.The icefalls are hidden in the depth of the ravine and as you get closer to the falls, the trail will get even more icy so putting on crampons is a must. There are many places to take photos with the falls, however, watch out for sudden fall of rocks and icicles from above. Ofcourse, there are no toilets and convenience store to pick up food and drinks in between the hike, so don’t forget to pack well. Solo hike or Tour There are two ways to go hiking, one is going alone and the other is to go on a tour. Like going “into the unknown”, the icefalls are in the depth of the ravine in the hidden region. Unless you are familiar with the area and are experienced hiker with all the appropriate gears, we recommend you to take the tour. There are a couple of tours that specialize in this icefalls. Say hello to these two wonderful guys, Korosuke and Koudai. Korosuke (left) Kodai (right) They specialize in outdoor activities in Nikko and the nearby regions all year round, from hiking to kayaking to many more. These two experts will take you to the fall safely. Depending on the levels of the participants, the route may change, however, if you a good hiker with strong legs, they will take a detour by going up steep snowy hills. If you join their tour, participants can rent crampons, helmets, and trekking pole for free, so all you need is to wear warm, waterproof hiking clothes and good hiking shoes with backpacks filled with lunch and water. Sneakers and jeans are prohibited. If you want to know more about the tour, contact them at http://www.nature-planet.com/ If you are ready to join this adventure, book directly through here https://en.activityjapan.com/publish/plan/1584 Korosuke in the front followed by his tour guests Required Equipment Waterproof hiking shoes, water, lunch, sunscreen, warm clothing layers, warm hat, rain wear, a backpackHelmet, crampons and trekking pole is a must (if you go on a tour, they have rentals) Access The only way to access the trailhead from Nikko station or Tobu Nikko station is unfortunately by cars only.

From Tokyo, there are several ways to go to Nikko and Tobu Nikko station by train.①From Tokyo Station Note of caution, there is no bullet train (shinkansen) that goes directly to Nikko.

2020 February Best Events in Japan
-
- While the temperatures are still quite cold, February is an appealing season in Japan as the winter chill slowly releases with the onset of spring’s warmth. To help you plan a travel itinerary during February, we’ve put together a short guide to the unique events that will be taking place across the country. Setsubun and Ehomaki (節分と恵方巻) Setsubun and Ehomaki The day before spring arrives is marked throughout Japan by Setsubun, which translates as “seasonal division”. This festival originated as a time to cleanse from the previous year and drive away evil spirits for the year ahead. A highlight of the festival is a ritual known as mamemaki or “bean scattering” when roasted soybeans are thrown out the door of a house or temple while saying “Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!” (Demons out! Luck in!”) If you want to participate in this purification practice, head to Sensoji (Asakusa), Zojoji (Tokyo) or Naritasan Shinshoji (Chiba). Setsubun is also marked by the eating of Ehomaki sushi rolls, which are sold at convenience and department stores across the country. These long sushi rolls are filled with seven different ingredients to represent the seven gods of happiness (Shichifukujin) and should be eaten facing the year’s lucky direction. Zojoji Temple Ehomaki Hokkaido: Sapporo Snow Festival (さっぽろ雪まつり) Sapporo Snow Festival Held every year in February, the Sapporo Snow Festival is the largest of its kind in Japan and attracts more than two million visitors. The heart of all the action is Odori Park, which extends through the heart of Sapporo, with live music and gi-gantic ice sculptures that are beautifully illuminated at night. If you want to see the stunning ice and snow sculptures that have been entered into the festival’s official contest, head to the Susukino area, or enjoy the family-friendly snow slides and attractions set up in Tsudome. In 2020, the Sapporo Snow Festival will take place from February 4-11. Sapporo Snow Festival Sapporo Snow Festival Akita and Tochigi: Kamakura Festival (かまくら祭り) Yokote Kamakura Festival Famed for its igloo-like snow houses (known as “kamakura”), the Kamakura Festival dates back more than 400 years and in 2020 will be held in two locations. The Yokote Kamakura Festival (横手かまくら祭り) will be held in the southeast of Akita Prefecture while the Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival (湯西川温泉かまくら祭り) will ignite this charming onsen town in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture. Countless small and large kamakura will be set up and illuminated by candles at night, transforming both locations into a magical winter wonderland. Aside from the kamakura, the event features a range of other activities, including snow rafting, kamakura making experiences and delicious local foods. The Yokote Kamakura Festival 2020 will take place on February 15 and 16 in the city of Yokote while the Yunishigawa Onsen Kamakura Festival 2020 will take place from 31 January to 1 March 2020.

But the most famous celebration is the Mito Plum Blossom Festival (水戸の梅まつり) of Kairaku-en in the city of Ibaraki Prefecture, Mito. Considered one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, Kairaku-en was created during the Edo period and features around 100 different varieties of plum blossoms. During the festival, you can see around 3,000 trees in various hues of light pink while enjoying the fragrant perfumes. Aside from enjoying the plum blossoms and drinking powdered green tea, the festival will hold outdoor koto performances, guided nighttime walks and fireworks shows. The Mito Plum Blossom Festival 2020 will take place from late February to March 31.Read more:Mito Plum Blossom Festival 2020 Mito Plum Blossom Festival Rape Flower Blossoms Season Rape Flower Blossoms Season February is also marked by the blossoming of bright yellow rape flowers, which occur in various locations across Japan. One of the most famous spots is along the Isumi Railway in Chiba, forested landscapes and fields of rape flowers. Soak up the rural landscapes of the Boso Peninsula on a 26-kilometer-long journey between Ohara Station and Kazusa-Nakano, passing historic stations that date back to 1912.

6 of the best places to see wild monkeys in Japan
-
- When the Japanese speak of ‘monkeys’, they are usually referring to the native Japanese Macaque, also known as the Snow Monkey for its origins in Japan’s frozen northernmost regions. With both its face and posterior are a distinctive shade of pink, it is characterized by frequent mischievous behavior. Known here as the nihonzaru (‘Japanese monkey’), so fond are the Japanese of the species that dedicated parks have sprung up across the country, where visitors can encounter this living national treasure in natural surroundings. Here are six of the best. Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Jigokudani Monkey Park is the source of those world-famous photos of Japanese Macaques bathing in natural hot springs. Located in the Japanese Alps town of Yamanouchi, it is the only place in the world where this spectacle can be marveled at. Surrounded by forest and especially captivating when snow-capped from December through March, the park was created in the macaques’ natural habitat of a dormant volcanic region (Jigokudani literally means ‘Hell Valley’), with the inhabitants free to come and go as they please.Though essentially ‘wild’, the Jigokudani monkeys are well used to gawping homo sapiens and so go about their lives paying little attention to tourists. A small visitor center gives an English-language lowdown on the group’s alpha male-ruled hierarchy.Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano Osarunoyama Monkey Park, Nikko Osarunoyama Monkey Park, Nikko The historic city of Nikko is closely associated with simians: it is here that the legend of the three wise monkeys originated. It’s a perfect location then for Osarunoyama Monkey Park, or ‘Monkey Mountain’ as it is informally known.The park, accessed via ropeway from the onsen resort town of Kinugawa, consists of a mountain plateau where dozens of macaque families go about their lives in a leisurely style, sunning themselves and taking in the impressive view. Article: Monkey Mountain of Nikko Awajishima Monkey Center Awajishima Monkey Center This attraction lies by the southeastern coast of Awajishima island in the Seto Inland Sea. Here a 300-strong macaque posse, which is cared for both humanely and ethically, scurries around the spacious grounds and gathers atop elevated ‘rooftops’ specially created for simian socializing. Non-aggressive and friendly, the monkeys happily share their domain with a number of roaming deer.Awajishima Monkey Center Article: Where to Go in Awajishima Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Over on Shodoshima, on the eastern side of the Seto Inland Sea, awaits the mountainside Choshikei Monkey Park. This is another fenceless location, where several hundred macaques freely come and go. What has them flocking here daily is a highly scenic space with a view out to sea, and plenty to keep them occupied including wooden climbing frames, tyre swings, rock pools, and an abundance of trees to monkey around in.Choshikei Monkey Park, Shodoshima Article: Where to Go on Shodoshima Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Yet more cheeky macaques, roughly 120 of them, reside at this park situated in historic and picturesque Arashiyama, a 15-minute train ride from central Kyoto. Here the monkeys enjoy acres of land, rich in trees, grass, and rocks, surrounding the hill of Iwatayama itself. Many of them make the trek up to Iwatayama’s peak for a superb view over to Kyoto, as can visitors: for humans, it’s roughly a 30-minute hike. One neat aspect of this attraction is the way it turns the traditional zoo format on its head: while the macaques roam free, visitors who wish to feed them must do so from within a special cage!Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto Arashiyama Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita The entirety of this 628 meter-high mountain, sat by Beppu Bay between hot spring resort Beppu and the city of Oita, forms a nature sanctuary dedicated to the ubiquitous Japanese Macaque. A bus from Oita Station will take you to the park entrance, and from there you can either walk up to where the monkeys reside, which can get a little steep, or instead take a dedicated monorail. Aim to be there at either 12 noon or 3pm: these are the main feeding times, when hundreds of hungry nihonzaru gather to keenly fill their bellies.Mount Takasaki Monkey Park, Oita Article: Oita's Monkey Park ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa is a Secret Sightseeing Spot
-
- There are many exciting places to visit in Tokyo such as theme parks and famous shopping areas. However, being just a 2 minute walk from Shinagawa Station, one of the best options for those with limited time for sightseeing is Shinagawa's “Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa”. If you have a bit of time to spare before heading back to your hotel, it’s also a great place to drop in on your way home from other sights, and is especially well-suited to those with children as there is plenty in the theme park for kids to enjoy. About Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa The Aqua Park is easy to find, simply exit via Shinagawa Station's Konan Exit, cross the pedestrian crossing and take a short stroll up the hill. Not only is it close to Shinagawa Station, but the park and the surrounding tourist area of Shinagawa lies within a business district, which is relatively quiet compared to the endless crowds in the more touristy parts of Tokyo. Dolphin party where you can ride 6 kinds of sea creatures The Aqua Park is located in the corner of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, within an entertainment city of sorts containing attractions such as bowling alleys, food courts, and movie theaters. Although the aquarium is located in the center of Tokyo, it’s not the biggest aquarium in the city, but what it lacks in size is made up for by its fancy, artistic design and spectacularly decorative light shows. The romantic atmosphere of the Shiny Starry Bar NAKED STAR AQUARIUM-Christmas in the Starry Sky Bright Sky Street, a collaboration of starry sky ornaments and marine life Definite highlights of Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa are the thoroughly entertaining productions that incorporate seasonal changes into exhibits and shows, based on the concept of a fusion of sound, light, video and creatures of the sea. A fantasy space wrapped in a starry sky called Jellyfish Ramble Within the Immersive Illumination you can experience a fantastic sensation which feels as if you were lost in a sea of light. It’s where state-of-the-art technology and the sea world merge to create wondrous fantasy. The cute figures on the glittering magic carpet The only place in the world to see the Dwarf Sawfish The natural light illuminated underwater tunnel Wonder Tube What’s the main attraction of the aquarium? It’s the only place in the world to see the unique sawfish known as the Dwarf Sawfish in captivity. Compared to normal sawfish (which can also be seen swimming alongside the dwarf sawfish in the aquarium), the dwarf sawfish is smaller and far cuter.The sawfish can be found in a romantic underwater tunnel, illuminated by natural light, called the “Wonder Tube”. You’ll be able to see the graceful movements of the fish swimming around as you stroll through the wondrous 20 meter long tunnel. Only place in the world to see the Dwarf Sawfish! At Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa, you’ll be able to see around 10 different types of rays, including the Alfred Manta (Nanyou Manta), which can only be seen in eastern Japan. Opening hours until 10:00p.m. Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa Japanese aquariums generally close at a relatively early time, but Maxell Aqua Park stays open until 10:00 p.m. nightly. Maybe instead of a late movie, try out the Aqua Park next time for a different experience before heading home to bed. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Where to go in Japan: A History Lover’s Guide
-
- The best way to really appreciate Japan's diverse and fascinating story is to go beyond the history books and really immerse yourself in the local culture. From ancient pottery towns to countryside farmhouses and quaint inner-city neighborhoods, here are some of the best. Nikko Edomura, Tochigi Nikko Edomura, Tochigi If you like your history with a little extra fun, then be sure to book a trip to Nikko Edomura. It’s a small town recreated in the true to live image of the Edo Period. Also known as Nikko Edo Wonderland this unique amusement park is part adventure playground, part history lesson, and part living museum all rolled into one. It’s the perfect place to visit if you’re traveling with the family, or want an immersive, hands-on way to learn about this fascinating moment in Japan’s history. As well as functioning stores, display shop fronts, and interactive attractions, the park is home to a Haunted Temple, complete with spooky, Japanese spirits, an illusion room, and a challenging Ninja Trick Maze. Fushimi, Kyoto Fushimi, Kyoto A town overflowing with history and sake, Fushimi in Kyoto Prefecture, is where samurai legend Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Momoyama Castle, establishing the area as a political and economic center. To best enjoy the city, take a cruise along the Uji Canal which runs through the heart of town, before stopping off at the iconic Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum. This brewery dates back to the Meiji Period. Here you can still admire some of the original equipment used for old-style sake brewing. But, even better you can sample some of the area’s finest sake, a concoction that’s been perfected over centuries. Takehara, Hiroshima Takehara, Hiroshima Sometimes referred to as ‘Little Kyoto,’ Takehara is a city with plenty of similarities, but a culture and history that is uniquely its own. Located in Hiroshima Prefecture, Takehara’s history was an affluent one; the town was once home to families working in the salt trade business. Once many of them got rich they built their impressive Edo-era (1603-1868) homes. When all the money dried up, the history and legacy of the Takehara was almost forgotten, however luckily city fathers and local NPOs intervened to preserve the heritage of this architecturally stunning old town. Shirakawago, Gifu Shirakawago, Gifu Nested deep in the Hida mountains of central Gifu Prefecture lives one of Japan’s most picturesque preserved towns, Shirakawago. Shirakawago is a village of gassho-zukuri, thatched-roof farm houses built during the Edo-era. What makes gassho-zukuri so special is its unique architecture, they feature high sharp roofs to protect from snow piles, and high ceiling space - which was once used to house silkworms - and beams that looks like two hands clasped in prayer. If you’re interested in discovering how the people in mountain villages in Japan lived all those years ago, then be sure to add a stay in Gifu to your itinerary. Tokoname, Aichi Tokoname, Aichi Pottery is one of Japan’s most influential crafts, and one of the best places to explore its legacy is by making the trek to Tokoname, an ancient kiln town in Aichi Prefecture. Boasting over 1,000 years of pottery history it’s practically a living, breathing, ceramic museum. Tokoname has a few pottery walks that weave their way through the city. For a completely immersive experience, it’s recommended you pick the longer, four-kilometer course, ‘B’ which will take you through the rustic old kilns, past the old black walled factories and to the town’s INAX Live Museum and the Tokoname Tounomori Museum. Yanesen, Tokyo Yanesen, Tokyo If you don’t have time to leave the city, but still want a taste of old-Japan, then hop on the Yamanote city loop line, and jump off at Nippori JR Station. A short walk from the station is where you’ll find an area the locals call Yanesen. Located in the northeastern corner of Tokyo, Yanesen is the casual name given to the three neighboring shitamachi (‘downtown’) neighborhoods of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi. The quaint, ramshackle shops of Yanaka are today home to an eclectic community of local food stall owners, artisans, and contemporary independent cafes galleries housed in building seemingly frozen in time. It’s an area that managed to avoid any significant damage during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the bombings of WWII, and an excellent example of what downtown Tokyo once looked like. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.
