Japan
The country of Japan – so much to see and do, you will just leave wanting more. Visiting Japan was one of my first major trips outside the country and one I will never forget. The culture, the sites, the food – it was all so different from anything I have experienced before. Based on the trip I took, I have put together three itineraries and varying lengths that will take you around the country.
Below the itineraries you will also find several guides that will go more in depth about certain excursions and activities that you can take part of during your time in Japan. Have fun out there and feel free to reach out with any questions!
