KobeFamous for its beef, Kobe is a busy port city that exhibits an eclectic mix of cultural influences. Located just south of Okinawa on the island of Honshu, Kobe is one of Japan's most important ports with a cosmopolitan flavor and diverse attractions.
One authentically Japanese aspect of Kobe is its sake. The Nada district close to the port is one of the leading sake producing regions in the world and many of the breweries there are open for tours, tastings and souvenir shopping. A more salubrious slice of Japan can be experienced at the seaside Samaura Park or Oji Park, two optimum sites for enjoying the cherry blossom festivals in the spring.

Hokkaido IslandJapan has four major islands, and Hokkaido is its northernmost member. Amazingly, it attracts few visitors, so that those who do venture in find a rugged and untouched frontier. Most of Hokkaido is forested and mountainous, and only 1 out of 20 Japanese live here. This is in spite of the fact that a fifth of Japan’s landmass belongs to the island. Today, much of this frontier is protected as parkland.
Most tourists arrive on Hokkaido via Otaru, a southern transport hub with rail and ferry links to destinations further to the south. Otaru is only 30 minutes from Sapporo by train.

Currently the most popular beach resort destinations in Japan, there are a number of hotels available to suit just about every budget. Many of the beach front resorts are located on the West Coast of Okinawa, with white sandy beaches right at the doorstep of many of the properties.
There are a number of must-see destinations to visit in Okinawa, including the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Shuri Castle. The world class aquarium features local marine animals in breathtaking surroundings and tanks. It is also home to Okinawa’s largest mud crab and you can even find Nemo inside one of the tanks. The sophisticated complex also features sharks, tropical fish and crustaceans. Shuri Castle is a world heritage listed site and features a distinct Chinese influence in the buildings’ architecture. The main palace of Shuri Castle plays on important role in Okinawa’s history. The building held formal events and kings of the Ryuku Dynasty made important decisions inside. The site was completely restored in 1992, with careful attention to historical details and landmarks. Shuri Castle also boasts breathtaking views of Okinawa from various look out spots.
Okinawa is truly a unique destination. The beaches are world class- think crystalline water and pristine sand that can easily compete with Thailand, Hawaii and even Sydney for the title of the world’s best beach.
