​Kanto Area

The Gateway to Japan and Much More
Most people will come to Kanto for the capital of japan, Tokyo but the region has other talents that are well worth setting aside some time to explore. Kanto consists of the Tokyo metropolitan area and the prefectures of Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Gunma, Ibaraki, and Tochigi. Most people who visit Kanto will stay in the Tokyo area, but the region has plenty of sights to see that are good day trips from Tokyo or overnight adventures.

In Kanagawa, southwest of Tokyo is the ancient capital of Kamakura, with dozens of beautiful shrines and temples hidden among the wooded hillsides. Also in Kanagawa, the onsen resort town of Hakone sits on Lake Ashi with some locations having commanding views of nearby Mt. Fuji. North of Tokyo in Tochigi is Nikko, with its extravagant shrines and mausoleum dedicated to the former shogunate Tokugawa family and the natural beauty of Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls. Nikko is magnificent in late November when the autumn colors light up the forests. Though the other prefectures also have a plenty of attractive tourist spots.
