@kelly.today: Don’t get me wrong, Tokyo is still worth visiting at least once, but if you want some alternative options, there are plenty of places to explore in Japan beyond the major cities. Here are just a few of some of my favourite spots I’ve visited after several trips to Japan. 👉🏻 📌 A few things to know before your trip: 🗓️ Research the best season to visit — and check for festivals or events you’d like to experience. 🍴 Make restaurant reservations in advance (especially for popular spots!). 🛍️ Create a shopping wishlist to save time & avoid impulse buys — or grab my Japan Shopping List Notion template (linked in my bio). 🚅 Not driving? Check if the JR Pass is worth it for your route — it’s one of the best ways to get around efficiently. You can use the JR Pass Calculator to see if the route options are covered by the pass. 💭 If you’ve been to Japan, what’s one place you’d recommend or would revisit? 📷 Photos edited using my Fujifilm Lightroom presets (linked in my bio) #japan #asia #traveltiktok #bucketlist
