Japan is one of those places that just sticks with you – the first time you see Mount Fuji peeking through the clouds, or the buzz of Tokyo’s streets at night, or that bowl of ramen so good you’d fly halfway across the world for it again. Travelling here is like stepping into another world – one where ancient temples sit next to gaming arcades, and your train leaves exactly when it’s supposed to.

I’ve explored Japan’s big-hitting cities, found quiet corners in the countryside, soaked in hot springs, and eaten more convenience store onigiri than I can count. Whether you’re here for the food, the festivals, the culture, or all of it at once, these guides and tips will help you make the most of your trip.
