Where do you visit excluding Tokyo if you go to Japan to go sightseeing


Where do you visit excluding Tokyo if you go to Japan to go sightseeing?
I'm a junior high school student in Japan. It questioned like this because it had been interested in the foreign country. Oppositely, if I go to the United States to go sightseeing, I want to visit Los Angeles, Miami, and Hollywood. Please teach!

I really enjoyed the Hiroshima Peace Park. It's beautiful and very restful.

If you are interested in japanese culture, you should go to "Kyoto" and "Nara". because there are many famous temples,such as Horyu-ji temple and Yakushi-ji temple. If you want to have delicious japanese food, I strongly advise you to go to Osaka or Hokkaido.(Osaka is called "kuidaore no machi" meaning "a town where there are so many delicious food that you'll eat far too much.) In Osaka you can eat "tako-yaki", "okonomi-yaki"etc... In Hokkaido you will have delicious seafood. i think you'd better go to Osaka after you finished sightseeing in Kyoto and Nara,because Osaka is next to Kyoto and you can go to Osaka by train. hope this helps.

lol at tkm (I think this person is also a native japanese). For me: Osaka Nara Kyoto Hiroshima Mt. Fuji Nagoya Himeji Nikko Kamakura Yokohama and that pretty much does it. I have not heard the best things about Hokkaido, and have never heard from a seasoned traveler that it is especially splendid. Mostly, japanese people are the ones who tell me how great it is, japanese people who have not seen a lot of the world tell me this, not other travelers. Same with Okinawa, there are better beaches in the world than in Japan, so i would rather not.

I would look for festivals. Every town has festivals unique to that town and they are like their own Forth of July. I was in Kofu during their festival day and there were like 15,000 people dressed up in Samurai garb reinacting the most famous battle the town had. It is something like the Civil War folks in the US who recreate battles. Definitely check out some of the big castles. In Kyoto you should see Nijo jo and then there are great castles in Nagoya and Himeji. Himeji is considered to be the best castle in the country.

You say you like Los Angeles, Miami, and Hollywood? If that's the type of place you like, outside of Tokyo perhaps you'd like Osaka and Fukuoka. Generally Kyoto is the second best place to go, but it is home to many of Japan's historical and cultural sites. Are you interested in that sort of thing? The cities you've mentioned are big on shopping and excess. Miami has famous beaches...
