    Kitakata is in the Fukushima Prefecture, North of Japan in the middle of the island, between Fukushima (Pacific Ocean coast) and Niigata (Japanese See coast). Is a quiet and small town famous for his great Ramen, a noodle soup.

  4. Chinzan-so

    Chinzan-so ("Camellia Mountain Estate") is the former estate of Prince Yamagata, a Meiji-era politician. Its expansive manicured grounds are enveloped by the hustle-and-bustle of the Tokyo's ultra-urban surrounds, and stepping through the gates is like stepping back in time 100 years.

  5. Daigo-ji

    All too often I'm a little disappointed with Kyoto's tourist attractions. They tend to be crowded, over-sign-posted, and somehow lacking in soul.

  6. Umeda Sky Building

    The observation deck of this quirky office tower has the best views of Kansai's most populous city. Go just before sundown, and watch as the city slowly comes alive.

  7. The Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farm Houses

  8. Japantown

    No, it’s not like Tokyo. And yes, it’s actually a shopping mall.

  9. Yodogawa river

    Huge and calm great river going through Osaka, originating from the north. One of the symbols of the city as important festvals and fireworks take place every year on its banks.

  10. Hikone-jo

    Located in the city of Hikone, on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa in Shiga prefecture, the castle is its centerpiece and symbol. Hikone-jo, 彦根城, (“jo” means “castle” in Japanese) is designated a National Treasure, only one of four castles in Japan to bear this distinction.
