Things to Do
Things to Do in Japan
From temples and shrines to nature, culture, and modern city attractions, here is a practical starting point for planning activities in Japan.
Temples & shrines
Kyoto, Nara, and Kamakura hold Japan's best-known temples and shrines. Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest hours.
Nature & hiking
Mount Fuji, Kamikochi, and Yakushima offer trails for different fitness levels. Check trail season and weather before you go, especially above 1,500m.
Culture & experiences
Tea ceremony, kimono rental, sumo viewing, and craft workshops give a closer look at Japanese culture beyond sightseeing.
Theme parks & city attractions
Tokyo Disney Resort, Universal Studios Japan, and observation decks in Tokyo and Osaka are easy to combine with a city stay.

Nagano Matsumoto Castle: Tickets, Hours and the Best Arrival Plan

Kumamoto Kumamoto Castle: Tickets, Hours and the Best Gate for Your Day
Choose your Kumamoto Castle gate and arrival plan before buying a ticket: weekday access is not the same as a weekend visit, and the castle-tower last admission is earlier than the general closing time.

Use the gate closest to your actual train or bus stop, check the seasonal opening time for your date, and decide whether Ritsurin Garden belongs before or after Takamatsu's ferry timetable.
