TokyoTokyo Population: 15 million
Tokyo Is one of the largest cities on the planet. It vibrates with energy and vitality. One`s pulse quickens with the pace and noise of this gargantuan city. It isn`t a place to relax in. It is a shoppers paradise, a place to party or savor the food of any country of the world.
Travel in Japan would not be complete without a trip to beautiful Nikko and Kegon Falls. The falls are where many have reputedly seen ghosts. I have heard many stories
Another part of the Kanto plain where Tokyo is situated is the prefecture of Kanagawa. Kawasaki, Sagamihara, Atsugi, Fujisawa, and Yokohama are all in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Hakone
Is a beautiful spot surrounded by mountains and having an extinct volcano for a lake. Volcanic activity is in evidence at many places in the area as are fantasic views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding mountains. Well worth a visit to get a more natural perspective on Japan.
In southern Kanagawa lies Odawara at the foot of the picturesque Izu Penninsula. Odawara is an old castle town with moats and gardens surrounding the castle. Mount Fuji: Japan`s Sacred PeakNot far from Tokyo sits Mount Fuji, which lies near the Odawara area. If you want to climb her, you will need to go to Gotemba in Shizuoka Prefecture.
KamakuraWas once Japan`s capitol. It is now a quieter historic city in Eastern Kanagawa, along the Shonan Coast. Kamakura boasts many interesting temples, good hiking and a nice beach and town.
Kamakura is a great place to spend a day or a weekend. There are many examples of Japanese culture in Kamakura and Kyoto. When I go home to Canada people often ask me about interesting facts about Japan and
the culture of Japan.
Travel in Japan: Kyoto Is one of Japan`s must see cities! It is the most historicalof Japan`s cities and for many years her capitol. Kyoto was spared the bombing that most Japanese cities experienced, so many of her historical buildings were saved.

Devanshe Chauhan visits Shikoku and falls in LovePages from my Diary: Shikoku Love at First SightA Few Days in Nagasakiby Richard SchwartzOn the first day, I took the bullet train from Tokyo to Hakata, the southern-most city on the supertrain line. From there a regular express train took me the rest of the way to Nagasaki, near the bottom of the rorschach-shaped island of Kyushu. Total time: eight hours to go 1000 kilometres.
