What you'll find here
Guides to Japan's 8 regions and 47 prefectures, the towns worth a stop, protected local foods, traditional crafts, Japan Heritage stories, the week's weather and what each season brings.
There are tools to plan with too: a quiz that matches you with a prefecture, search, a map, and My trip, where you save places and get a card in Japanese to show your taxi driver.
How we check facts
Before a page goes live, its facts are checked against official sources such as prefecture tourism boards and transport operators.
