Popular Places to Visit on your Japan Trip

A top destination on Japan tour packages, Tokyo, Japan’s buzzing capital and a sprawling metropolis, offers a mix of culture, cuisine, and cutting-edge architecture. Explore iconic sights like the Imperial Palace, the elegant Nijubashi, and the towering Tokyo Skytree. On a clear day, catch a glimpse of the majestic Mount Fuji and head out to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. If you’re a fan of stationery, then Itoya, the world’s largest stationery store in Tokyo, Japan, is a must-visit.
Pro Tip: If you’re visiting multiple cities, get a Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) before you arrive for unlimited travel on bullet trains.

- A line to show staff: ‘Niku to sakana wa tabemasen. Dashi mo dame desu’, which means “I cannot eat meat, fish or fish stock.”
- Jain meals: Only a few restaurants serve food without onion and garlic, which is why these meals need planning ahead.
