Super safe, clean, very cute culture and lots of good shopping and food. Japan is easy to explore by train and has so many hidden gems. The Osaka-Kobe region has access to a lot of beautiful nature like the Rokko mountains, Suma beach, Awaji Island, etc. - May 2026
Climbing Mount Fuji was great. Traveling to see the snow monkeys in Nagano was awesome. Visiting Okinawa was also great. I love Yokohama -- and Tokyo in small doses. There are lots of good day trips from Osaka. Great hiking, biking, and running opportunities abound. There are also LOTS of museums to visit. Universal Studios Japan is really fun, too. - May 2021
