Samurai Castles: Japan, being one of the oldest nations in the world, is well renowned for its ancient history; including the feudal era of the samurai, a class of military officers and servants ruled by feudal lords. Their history remains well-preserved in Japan, as various samurai castles remain scattered throughout the country.

These castles are open to the public and they are great tourist destinations, as they offer insight into Japan’s thousand-year history.

Tokyo: In Japan, there are many things to do, and Tokyo is the best place to experience the variety it has to offer. You can visit Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Tower, an observation deck overlooking the whole city, or Ueno Park. You may also visit Odaiba, an artificial island in Tokyo Bay providing high-tech entertainment. There are malls, sushi bars, and science museums where visitors may interact with robots.

Tokyo Imperial Palace: While in Tokyo you can also visit the Imperial Palace, home to Emperor Akihito. The Imperial Palace carries with it much history, as it is home to the oldest continuing monarchical house in the world. Each day thousands of tourists come by and visit the elaborately ornate palace.

Hot Springs: When you are done exhausting your options in the city you may travel to one of Japan’s many hot springs. Manza Onsen, located in South-Western Japan is one of the best hot springs the island has to offer.
