(This is a continuing 'work in progress'. More destinations will be updated in the subsequent posts as time goes by, in alphabetical order sorted by major/minor cities, and will try to make the first post an 'index' of sorts)
Major Towns/Cities:
Tokyo: The capital of Japan and a megalopolis of Japanese culture. More to come...
Osaka: More to come...
Kyoto: More to come...
Kobe: More to come...
Minor Towns/Cities:
Karatsu: Worth trying for -
'live' Ika sashimi (1st course) / tempura (2nd course). The views from the cliff-top castle, stunning - you can see all the little surrounding islands (and if you have time, take boat trips to them). A charming little train takes you there from Nagasaki (not the fast ones, so be prepared to let time pass you by). An even more scenic train takes you from Karatsu to Fukuoka as it winds its way along the coastline (great coastal scenery!). Saw some guesthouses along the coast that I'd love to one day go back and rent sort of like a beach shack (insanely cheap..!)
All contributions welcomed!
