Japan has always been one of the most popular tourist countries for Malaysians. In fact, apart from the famous sights of Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower, and Asakusa Temple, there are actually many hidden dream spots in the region that are romantic, beautiful, and real! If you are planning to visit Japan in the near future, please make sure to plan the following places into your itinerary
# Tohoku
Nature’s limited winter artwork – Zao Tree Ice! Also known as “snow monsters”, the sight of countless huge trees standing on the ice is full of shock and mystery. If you want to see the most stunning view of Zao’s tree ice, it is generally recommended to go to Yamagata Zao from late January to February, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of millions of tree ice underneath from the cable car.
Access: Take JR to Yamagata Station, then take a bus to Zao Onsen.
#Shinagawa River
For those who want to enjoy cherry blossoms in Japan, don’t miss the New Riverbank River located on the outskirts of Tokyo! This 500m long river is lined with cherry trees, and besides enjoying the cherry blossoms along the river, there is also the “Koedo River Spring Boat Tour” held every year during the cherry blossom season, where visitors can enjoy the cherry blossoms from a different perspective by taking a vintage wooden boat along the river. The recommended time for viewing cherry blossoms is from late March to early April every year.
Access: Take a Tobu bus (Kawagoe 06) from the east exit of Kawagoe Station on the Tobu Tojo Line or from Honkawagoe Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line and get off at the Miyashita-cho bus stop.
# Ginzan Onsen
The most beautiful snowy scenery in Japan is really not in Hokkaido, but in Ginyama Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture! There is the hotel of Mrs. Yu in “A Thousand and One”, and the streets are full of nostalgia, and the romantic and dreamy scenes are one of the best in Japan! In Yamagata Prefecture November began to snow, and the snow cover until the end of December, located in the northeast of Japan, at least until the end of February are snowy hot springs, you can arrange a trip according to this time period, must go to this once-in-a-lifetime dream spot, really beautiful mess ~
Access: Take JR from Tokyo to Oshida Station and transfer to Onanazawa City Bus, which takes you directly to Gensan Onsen
# Tokyo Disneyland
Many people have a child’s heart and the heart of a girl, and Disneyland can definitely meet all your fantasies! Tokyo Disneyland is divided into land and sea two parks, although the sea occupies less land than the land, but the rides are more exciting than land, and relatively more suitable for adults! However, I believe that the classic land can not be replaced, if there is plenty of time, both parks may wish to experience see Oh ~!
Transportation: 15 minutes by train from Tokyo Station to Tokyo Disneyland
# Shirakawago
The fairy-tale town of Shirakawa-go, Nagoya, is one of Japan’s proud World Heritage sites! In winter, it is covered with snow, creating a beautiful white landscape. One of the highlights of the village is the six-day lighting event in early winter, but from 2019 onwards, you will need to be selected by reservation.
Transportation: Take the Shinkansen or limited express train from Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, or Nagoya to Kanazawa, Takaoka, Toyama, Takayama, and other cities in Hokuriku and Chubu, and transfer to an express bus to reach Shirakawa-go Hapu Village.
# Shibuya SKY
The Shibuya SKY observation deck is the most popular attraction in Shibuya, Tokyo! The 46th floor, 229 meters above Shibuya, offers a 360-degree view of Tokyo’s landmarks such as Tokyo Tower and Skytree, the bustling Shinjuku area, the romantic Tokyo Bay, and even the symbol of Japan, Mount Fuji. Both daytime and nighttime views are stunning, and we recommend that you arrange to come on weekdays when there are fewer visitors.
