Strongly recommend Fushimi Inari shrine if you’re in Kyoto as well. It’s not one of the big tourist trap destinations in the city – it’s more a place that locals or Japanese tourists would go – and as such it’s not all roped off and guided all the way around so you can wander it much more leisurely. It is up the side of a mountain though, so traveling the whole trail is a fair hike with a lot of stairs.
Also while I’m glad I’ve been to the Hiroshima Peace Museum, that place is harrowing and I don’t think I’d ever want to do it again.
Such a wonderful place to holiday. This is a great list but the best stuff is probably found on the way to and from the big sights.
I would also recommend some of the serenely beautiful mountain hikes on offer.
I agree. I recommend a hike up Mount Misen, found on Miyajima. You can also take a ropeway, but the hike up and down is awesome.
Not gaming news.
Not a website that posts exclusively gaming news
No love for Kyushu…
Unfortunately not many get there, but there is so much to see. Fukuoka is a great city, the hot springs of Beppu, Mt Aso, the canal towns of Saga, the 99 Islands off Sasebo, Nagasaki city (both for the A-Bomb memorials and the Portuguese history), the beaches of Miyazaki, Sakurajima. Worth a visit.
Highly recommend Meiji Jingu Shrine just off Harujuku Station
Getting hammered in Golden Gai and then going to Shinjuku batting center at 3am is probably my #1, but also the Takayama area and Shirakawago are really lovely.
