A trip to Akihabara
Japan means high-tech equipment and manga culture. Akihabara is an entire city that can be described as electric and grandiose! Flashing neon lights, loud advertisements, flashes of colour and anime will catch your eye.
Known around the world as "Akihabara Electronic Town", you will feel like you are in a video game.

Spend some time in Harajuku...
If you are a fan of manga or anime, this is the place for you. Young Japanese like to escape the real world and immerse themselves in the role of a fictional character. On weekends, many of them dress up in anime-inspired clothes and parade through Harajuku.
Have fun recognising your favourite heroes and join in the fun with your favourite costume. Attend a colourful parade and have a great time with your friends and family.
Mont Fuji
Mount Fuji has always fascinated many artists and visitors. A sacred mountain located on the island of Honshu, its snow-covered summit and symmetrical, conical shape give it an exceptional beauty, worthy of the most beautiful landscapes in Japan. Like many tourists, don't hesitate to climb it.
After the climb, you can go to one of the hot springs at Kawaguchiko Onsen at the foot of the mountain, which will bring you comfort and relaxation after a day of walking.

Japan is known for its culture, traditions and arts. But it is probably the flavour and colour of its food that attracts many tourists to Japan.
If you like sushi, Tokyo is obviously the place to go for the best sushi in the world.
Not forgetting the typical Japanese dishes that you will find in many of the city's restaurants, such as tempura, miso soup and onigiri. Don't hesitate to visit the many restaurants in the city and discover new flavours.
