Traveling to Japan is a really exciting experience. Once you get there you must visit
certain places in order to get a grasp of Japanese culture.

The first stop after arriving at the airport is Tokyo. Tokyo is the most populated city
in the world. Here you will be able to find many shops, restaurants, visit the Imperial Palace
and go watch the Japanese baseball league at the Tokyo Dome.

The next must see city is Kyoto. Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan. Here you will be able
to see temples, gardens, Shrines, and learn about the culture and history of Japan.

Next stop is Osaka, this is the largest city in the Kansai area of Japan and second biggest in
the country. In many aspects it is similar to Tokyo but you will see that Osaka is much diffrent than Tokyo culture wise. While in Osaka you must try Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki. These are two traditional foods of the region. You may find Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki stands all over Osaka.

Hiroshima is also in the list of places to visit. Hiroshima is known for the atomic bomb that was drop[ed in the city. In this city you can visit the Peace Museum and park.

Finally, the islands of Okinawa and Hokkaido are two places where you can find true relaxation.
Both islands are full of resorts. Okinawa is to the south and it is known to be Japan's Hawaii. To the north we have Hokkaido which is known for its delicious sushi and fish.

There are many more place you can visit while in Japan. This just a list of cities you might not want to miss if you are planning to visit the land of the rising sun.
