1. The icon of Japan, Mount Fuji is a must-see tourist attraction in Japan. Around 100-kilometres from the capital of Tokyo, it is best reached by bus. In traditional Japanese culture, this snow-topped, cone-shaped mountain is one of the ‘Three Holy Mountains’. Having inspired countless artists with its perfect symmetry, it is still an important site of pilgrimage today for followers of Shinto and Buddhism. The highest peak in Japan, most visitors head directly to the Subaru Fifth Station to enjoy up-close views of the mountain. On the other hand, the most inspiring panorama can be enjoyed from Lake Kawaguchiko. Alternatively, if you travel from Tokyo to Kyoto by bullet train on a clear day, the views of Mount Fuji are spectacular!
2.You cannot go sightseeing in Tokyo without visiting the area of Harajuku, one of the top tourist attractions in Japan. Here you’ll find a world of pop culture, boutique shops and all things kawaii. Lovers of anime and manga will be in their element, whilst the fun-filled streets of Harajuku are sure to put a smile on the face of even the most sceptical traveller! Takeshita Street is at the heart of Harajuku. The busiest and brightest street in the city, Takeshita is filled with quirky shops, themed cafes and restaurants. If you want to experience Japanese pop culture in all its glory, Takeshita is one of the most unmissable tourist attractions in Japan. Be sure to visit on a Sunday to see locals dressed up in their cosplay outfits!
