Fushimi Inari-taisha

A tunnel of thousands of vermillion gates. It’s best visited at dawn when the mountain air is cool and the fox statues seem to watch your every step.

Shibuya Sky

tand on the “Sky Edge” with nothing but glass between you and the world’s busiest crossing. At sunset, the city looks like a living circuit board.

Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)

It looks like a dream floating on water. The gold leaf glows so intensely against the green trees that it barely looks real.

Hakone’s Lake Ashi

On a clear day, the “floating” red Torii gate perfectly frames Mount Fuji. It’s the ultimate “I’m finally in Japan” photograph.

teamLab Borderless

A digital wonderland where art has no boundaries. Flowers bloom under your feet and lanterns float around you—it’s like stepping inside a dream.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

A narrow path through towering green stalks. If you close your eyes, the sound of the bamboo stalks clashing in the wind is incredibly peaceful.

Itsukushima Shrine

A massive red gate standing in the ocean. At high tide, it appears to float; at low tide, you can walk right up to its massive ancient pillars.

Nara Deer Park

Home to over 1,000 wild, bowing deer. It’s a surreal and heartwarming experience to feed these “messengers of the gods” in the shadow of the Great Buddha.
