Everyone who is tired of the regular Japanese route (Osaka-Nara-Kyoto; Tokyo-Kamakura-Hakone), I recommend a new route for everyone, without the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel a different cool summer day.
✈️ Select: Tokyo in and out of Tokyo
Option: You can purchase the "JR Tokyo Wide Area Pass"
> adults (12 years and older): 10,180 yen;
Children > (6-11 years old): 5,090 yen
Unlimited travel on ordinary cars and reserved seats such as Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Shinkansen and Limited Express trains in the Greater Tokyo Area for 3 days, and even all JR East lines and most private railway trains! Whether it's Mt. Fuji, Izu, Karuizawa, GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort and other popular spots~ This pass is the best deal!
Recommendation 1: Karuizawa
Located on a plateau at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Nagano Prefecture has always had a cool impression, known as the "Little Switzerland of the East", and the street scene and atmosphere are full of European-style architecture, and because it is only one hour away from Tokyo, it is a good place to visit the "back garden of Tokyo". Cycling here is the best way to enjoy nature, visiting popular attractions such as Kumba Pond, Kengo Kuma's Birch Mori Church, the filming scene of the Japanese drama "Quartet", and then finding a restaurant to enjoy popping sausages and kiln-baked pizza - isn't this an itinerary very desirable!
This is a great place for Tokyo locals to escape the summer weekend during the summer weekend.
Karuizawa is surrounded by three mountains and has a lush forest, and the surrounding mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the melting snow forms a river flowing into Karuizawa, making it a place where summer is cool and popular with many residents and high society in Tokyo and its surroundings.
When you come to Karuizawa, Shiraishi Waterfall must check out, and if you have seen the magnificence of the yellow fruit tree, then the gentleness of Shiraishi is also a necessary experience
Visiting Karuizawa does not need to be specially arranged, and relaxing is the best way to escape the summer.
Recommended place to stay: Hoshino Resort
This is definitely a top 1 recommendation, Hoshino Resort is located in high-quality regions in various countries around the world, and it is definitely the preferred brand for vacations.

Located in the north of Tokyo, Tochigi Prefecture is home to natural beauty such as mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, and is famous for its ancient "Two Shrines and One Temple". The two shrines and one temple are the "Nikko Toshogu", "Nibarayama Shrine", and "Nikkozan Rinnoji Temple" dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and there are more than 100 World Heritage Sites here, which is perfect for arranging a small trip to intellectual history and architecture. In addition to visiting ancient temples, Nikko also has the famous Kinugawa Onsen, and one of Japan's three major waterfalls, "Kegon Falls", rich in attractions, plus leisure and full of Japanese atmosphere, it is no wonder that domestic and foreign tourists are attached to Nikko, with more than 6 million people every year!
