With so much to do in Japan, no visit will ever be long enough, but some of the most important attractions, that are considered a must see, anre the Ropongi district of Tokyo, where the exhausting nightlife of karaoke bars and super clubs operate 24 hours a day.
Mount Fuji lies around 100KM to the North of Tokyo, and is the national symbol of the country. A perfectly symmetrical volcanic mountain, it attracts millions of visitors every day who climb the wide path to the top.
The Cities of Nagasaki, and Hiroshima were levelled by atomic weapons in 1945 at the end of the Second World War, and still stain the national conscious with grief. Now there are museums, and memorials to those who have died, as well as buildings that still stand in defiance of the destruction.
Close to some of the best Surfing and sunbathing beaches in Japan, along the Miyazaki coastline of Kyushu, you can find the SeaGaia Ocean Dome, an indoor beach where you can surf and sunbathe to your hearts delight. It's a peculiarly Japanese thing, to try and improve on nature, but no doubt within the next few years, they will be opening an indoor hiking and trekking centre through simulated woodland, right in the middle of a forest, or an indoor rock climbing centre right next to a cliff.
