East Asia / THE TRAVELTAG COLLECTION

Japan

Find Japan in the contrast between a busy station and a quiet garden, a tiny restaurant and a bright city street. Tokyo and Kyoto make a rewarding first route, but fewer stops often mean richer days. Leave room for neighbourhoods you had never planned to visit.
