Travel Off the Beaten Path to Northern Japan

Most people travel to Tokyo and Kyoto when they visit Japan. But you can beat the crowd and experience authentic Japan by going off the beaten path to the lesser-traveled parts of Japan. On this 12 day trip in February, we started in Tokyo but then traveled to up north to Sendai – Zao – Hakodate – Sapporo – Hachinoe – then back to Tokyo. We used a 🚅 JR Rail Pass to travel using only trains and buses.
