Nishiki Market (Nishiki Ichiba) in Kyoto.

How long are you going for? What time of the year?
Osaka is a quick train ride from Kyoto which you can do as same day or even a few days. We went up a few tall buildings/skyscrapers in Tokyo and Osaka to look out.

Sushi Dai at Toyko's Fish market... but only if you want to wake up before dawn and wait 3 hours for one of the best omakase meals

I recommend going to Nara, it's got a lovely park, and the deer are very... "friendly"

Make sure you buy a Japan Rail pass before you go - huge savings!!

Go to Arashiyama in Kyoto, it was the highlight of my trip, so pretty. It has the monkey park and the bamboo grove. Also reccomend visiting fushimi inari shrine at night, there are less people and it has a slight spooky vibe which is actually really nice. Also reccomend a day trip to nara, it was great there.

Number one favourite things from my 13 times in Japan are the Gold and silver palaces in Kyoto. Walk the back streets there! Tokyo love the ghost cafe or all the theme restaurants. Take a bicycle tour in Tokyo. Not as scary as it sounds.

In Tokyo, visit Asakusa. In Kyoto, visit Arashiyama. If you want to experience a tradition hotspring resort (ryokan), hop over to Nikko from Tokyo for a night.

We loved our 2 day trip to Hakone.

If you have a layover of several hours at Narita Airport, or if you are staying at a hotel in the Narita area and are looking for a way to spend a half-day, don’t miss the opportunity to take part in one of these Japanese cultural experiences or to see the best sights around!
