Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Shinkansen (Bullet Train) makes it quick easy to access beautiful and interesting destinations which would usually be too far away to consider for a day trip from Tokyo. Japan has some of the most picturesque mountain and lake landscapes on the planet which you can admire from a lofty perch on aerial cable cars and ropeways – a few of the best areas include Tateyama, Hakone and Lake Kawaguchico. Everywhere you go there beautiful temples and shrines to visit and towns like Atami and Hakone offer visitors a chance to partake of a traditional onsen (natural hot spring baths). Do not miss the chance to see the country’s best collection of ancient buildings, temples and shines in Kyoto or to see cherry blossom time at the foot of Mount Fuji.
