5 most beautiful places in Japan to visit 

1 ) Nikko 

Nikko is a sanctuary town and UNESCO world legacy site in the mountains a couple of hours north of Tokyo and makes a cool retreat from the city. The zone is celebrated for its energetic pre-winter tones. 

The sanctuaries and altars with their vermillion doors and greenery covered stone lamps are dispersed on the lush slope. 

The principle fascination is Toshogu Shrine, a dazzling complex with in excess of twelve richly improved red and gold structures among colossal, old cedar trees. The groups can be overpowering, so thereafter head to one of the calmer altars.

Climbing up the mountain to the serene Takino sanctum 

Capturing the splendid red Shinkyo connect 

Chomping on dango (flame broiled rice balls on a stick) from a road slow down

You could visit Nikko as a roadtrip from Tokyo, however it merits going through an evening or two to investigate quite possibly the most wonderful spots in Japan including climbing trails, lakes, cascades, and underground aquifers.

For more character, you could remain in a customary ryokan with sees and outside onsen showers. Some profoundly appraised ryokans incorporate Nikko Hoshino Yado, Okunoin Hotel Tokugawa, and Hotel Shikisai. Discover more inns in Nikko here. 

2) Koya-San 

Koya-san (Mount Koya) is quite possibly the most fascinating spots with regards to Japan to encounter the customary side of the country. This disconnected and hallowed sanctuary town is situated in the woodland covered piles of Kansai and is perhaps the best spot to experience life as a priest by remaining in a shukubo or sanctuary dwelling. 

In the wake of meandering around the powerful Okunoin woods graveyard, we looked into our straightforward tatami room at the sanctuary, absorbed the shared onsen shower, and appreciated a flavorful shojin ryori veggie lover Buddhist supper. Toward the beginning of the day we were up right on time for the reciting and contemplation function with the priests. 

A sanctuary stay at Koya-san is an intriguing encounter and certainly justified regardless of the diversion from Osaka or Kyoto. 

How Long to Spend: 

1 evening. 

Where to remain in Koya-san: We remained in Haryo-in, the least expensive sanctuary convenience, yet it's very fundamental and I'd prescribe paying more to remain at one of the more customary sanctuaries like 1000-year-old Eko-in which gets brilliant surveys.

During the Edo time frame 300 years prior, Tsumago was a stop on the Nakasendo Way among Kyoto and Edo (presently Tokyo). You can climb part of this path to the town of Magome in around a few hours. Sadly, a hurricane forestalled us doing this, yet it should be a picturesque and simple walk.

with regards to the Edo-period environment, stay in a conventional ryokan or minshuku (an easier family-run hotel). We remained at the fundamental Minshuku Shimosagaya. Adjoining Magome has more decision including the spending plan Chaya Hotel or noteworthy Tajimaya. 

4) Nara 

Todaiji sanctuary in Nara, an absolute necessity do in Japan 

Nara was Japan's first perpetual capital and is loaded with noteworthy fortunes including numerous UNESCO world legacy locales. It's one of the top Japan attractions and makes a remunerating roadtrip from Kyoto to visit the sanctuaries and wild deer in Nara Park. 

The Daibutsu-cave (Hall of the Great Buddha) at Todaiji is the primary sight—it's the biggest wooden structure on the planet and nothing sets you up for the monstrous sight. Inside is the 15-meter tall gold and bronze sculpture of Buddha that traces all the way back to 751.
