There are so many interesting and famous places in Japan.
What is the best place to visit if you only have one week? Why is it go good?

I want to year your ideas.

Thank you. Laughing

You could consider basing yourself in Nagoya from where you can quickly travel to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Gifu and other popular cities, which have many beautiful & historic sites to visit, by train, air or bus (depending on your budget). Haven't looked into it for a while (it's been 12 years since my last trip) but there used to be a Japan Rail Pass, which will help you save money when you are there - but you can only buy it outside the country so enquire at your local travel agent.

Enjoy your trip, and if you do decide to go to Nagoya can I recommend a visit to Nagoya Port and having a lunch or dinner on the top storey of Sky Tower (within the grounds of Higashiyama Zoo).

Climb Mt Fuji.
I wouldn't call it "fun" but you won't forget the experience!

If you have only one week to visit in Japan I would recomend going to some big cities like Tokyo, Osaka etc....Because you can enjoy shopping, going to a theme park and meeting interesting people Smile

Or if you want to see Japanese culture more than going to shop, i recommend visiting Kyoto!! The city is very beautiful and has some famouse temples. So you must be able to enjoy seeing Japanese culture:)

If you want to relax I do want you to visit Okinawa! It doesnt have any big shopping malls and theme park.But there is beautiful beach!!you can lie down on the beach and drink beers or *beep* Smile

you must love it!!!!
