Japan Has 25 Sides. Most Tourists Only See Three.

A bullet train with a 24-second average delay. A ryokan that has been operating for 1,300 years without a single break. A beef so marbled its fat melts below body temperature. A mountain Japan classified as cultural heritage — not natural — because it means too much to be just a landscape.

This is Japan. And most people who visit only scratch the surface.

In this Travel List video, we take you through 25 places and experiences that show why Japan is unlike any other country on Earth — from the 10,000 red gates of Fushimi Inari to the micro-bars of Golden Gai, from a sacred mountain where you can sleep inside a Buddhist monastery to the most technically perfect piece of fast food ever invented.
