Hosting towering volcanoes, temples that date back more than 400 years, and fields covered in more than 4 million flowers, Japan is a country of incredible beauty.
From its tranquil and picturesque Mount Fuji to cutting-edge robot restaurants in Tokyo, here are some of the country's most magnificent sites.
Mount Fuji, located on Honshu Island, is Japan’s highest mountain at a staggering 12,389 feet. It's an active stratovolcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Japan's most popular tourist sites.
The Daigoji temple in Kyoto, a temple of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism, is a designated world heritage site and a favorite destination to visit in the autumn when the leaves offer an array of vibrant colors.
Jigokudani, which sits atop the town of Noboribetsu Onsen, has been named Hell Valley due to its display of hot steam vents, sulfurous streams, and volcanic activity. The destination includes a hiking trail you can walk across to witness the magnificent site.
