​Relaxation

Most people travel to Japan with a vision that includes “experiencing the real culture.” Yet, they fail to realize that many true Japanese traditions live and breathe most authentically outside of Japan’s bustling metropolises.

If you’re looking to reconnect with nature and see something truly amazing, there are plenty of awe-inspiring sights you’ll be putting straight on your bucket list. From ice-blue pools in Hokkaido to the turquoise seas of Okinawa, with ancient forests and sand dunes in between, Japan holds myriad natural wonders. Although some may be more of a struggle to reach than others, they are all incredible displays of the power of nature that you’ll never forget.

Take onsen (natural hot springs), for example. The best onsen in Japan leave you in awe while you soak in a hot spring river or in the snowy mountains — and are usually out of the way. Japanese people take pride in the culture of relaxing in natural healing waters, just like the generations before them did. Leave your world behind to uncover this long tradition that remains sacred in Japan.
