📌 This place was a bit hard to reach without a car, so I ended up booking a day trip tour to reach this spot in Japan. If you like the link to the tour comment 'link' and I'll send it to you.

What happens when you skip Tokyo 🇯🇵✨️ S What happens when you skip Tokyo 🇯🇵✨️

Skipped Tokyo this time and wandered somewhere quieter — a place filled with old streets, rivers, and peaceful shrines. It turned out to be one of my favourite day trips from my summer in Japan. ✨

If you’ve been dreaming of exploring beyond the usual cities, I’ve put together my 3-week Japan itinerary — a guide to hidden gems, lesser-known towns, and scenic day trips that capture Japan’s slower side.

💌 Comment “itinerary” below and I’ll send you the full guide with Google Map links, local tips, and booking links for activities.

✨ Should you skip these places in Japan? 🌿🎏🇯🇵 

When I look back on my four trips to Japan, the moments that stand out most aren’t from the cities but from the times I explored lesser-known areas. 

The quiet trails, the slower pace, the natural landscapes—it’s such a contrast to the neon lights, skyscrapers, and crowded streets that many first-time travellers picture when they think of Japan. While Tokyo and Osaka are all incredible in their own right, stepping beyond them opened up an entirely different side of the country that I’ll always treasure.

This past summer, I had the chance to visit some of those places, and it reminded me just how much beauty there is waiting beyond the well-worn paths.
