Travel

Japan is home to many tourist attractions - both natural and cultural - and as of 2022, 25 are registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

“JAPAN!” How excited I was to hear this from the lips of my husband! Oh, the places  to go. The foods to try.  The sights, sounds, and smells of the heart of Tokyo! Let us not forget Okinawa, Hiroshima, and Mt. Fuji, just to mention a few of the places to experience.

Now that the Autumnal Equinox has passed, we have now entered the harvest season. Look around you and you will find not only the signs of autumn, but also the signs of seasonal foods for you to try.

Japan is a mecca for forest lovers. In fact, the country’s best kept secret is Japan’s forests. On the International Day of the Forest on March 21 we celebrate our tree friends and all other beings of the woods, and what better way doing this than going for a slow walk in a nearby forest.

In this unprecedented era characterized by social distancing, many people have taken to the great outdoors for safe and inspiring vacations.

Autumn in Japan is almost as popular as spring, as visitors can't get enough of the Japanese maple leaves and other vivid fall foliage colors! Plan a trip to Japan between October and December, and you will be absolutely in love with the many beautiful spots for autumn leaves.
