Where To Visit | 日本の簡単な紹介

Japan is becoming increasingly more popular with tourists from around the world every year. If this is your first time visiting Japan, you may be overwhelmed by all the different cities and attractions!
Which is better? Tokyo, or Osaka? Hokkaido, or Okinawa? For such a small country, you'd be surprised at how different the lifestyle is on opposite ends of it. In this video I took 7 of the top 10 currently most popular cities and described them by atmosphere and vibe, and hopefully this will help you understand the distinct differences when you plan your itinerary.
If you've visited Japan many times, or even live here, all of this knowledge may sound like second nature, as it does to me too, but in planning my trip to Vietnam with Tatsu, I realized I didn't know much about the differences between cities like Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Hanoi, or Hoi An, and I realized that there are many people out there not sure of the same in Japan. Hopefully this video is useful for people in that situation! :)

[@RachelandJun]

Aww thanks for the mention! :D Totally agree with your advice in this!

[@avidesilva]

Woo! Its Rachael and Jun. Love all you J vloggers. So helpful for planning stuff.

[@LeJacqline]

I didn't realize that you knew Rachel and Jun, kinda cool that the two japan channels I watch actually have some sort of knowledge of each other.

[@Taka-r5w]

友達だったら好きになってた絶対。 ほんと綺麗。 頑張ってくださいねー！

[@annakravtsova1902]

I went to Japan a few times before and lived in Tokyo for the most part. It was definitely a fun experience, especially recommended to the first-time visitors! I also really wanted to thank you, Micaela, for showing us around Fukuoka and teaching us about the city. I will be studying in Japan starting next fall, and I probably would have never thought about choosing this city before, simply because I wouldn't have known enough about it. To be honest, I'm not even sure I would've been brave enough to go through with the idea of studying in Japan, if not for your encouragements in your previous videos! I really hope you know how much of a positive influence you have on our lives through your videos!

[@takayukimori6310]

さすが元英語講師だけあって、聞き取りやすい発音とスピードですね！

[@moonhendrix]

お肌がツヤツヤしてて、とっても元気そうで何よりデス！

[@littlehero8145]

Going to Okinawa next month. Great Video, thanks!

[@HaiderKhan-xh4cx]

I totally forgot about you Michaela, definitely the most underrated KZbinr/jvlogger ✌️💯

[@riei9264]

Thank you Micaela. I love this video:) I share it to my foreigner friends!!

[@ああ-y8i5l]

後半本当に玄人向けで驚きました。 多分日本人の私より貴女の方が日本に詳しい。また、私は福岡に住んでいますが福岡は取り柄が無いと思っていました、しかし「観光と言うよりライフスタイルを楽しむ場所」の言葉がかなりしっくり来ました。語彙力に感服致します。

[@pres002]

wooo! nice video, I also plan to go to Japan soon, Next summer hopefully. Anyone else watch this 3 times?

[@lmcfleury]

My friend and I are visiting Japan for all of July! We're going to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Naha! I'm sooo excited

[@Ciaela]

Oooh, you're going to have so much fun!

[@PoptartKid]

Nara is a nice little area that is very close to Kyoto. It pretty much a deer metropolis where you can interact and feed them. Also the temples are very nice there too, like the Todai-ji.

[@itoyu2003]

Great video! Places like Sendai, Kanazawa and Hakone are also good to visit.

[@mike0508]

I like this editing style !

[@Ciaela]

Thanks!

[@Vortex2087]

Just booked my flights to Japan and I will start my trip in Fukuoka and make my way up to Tokyo via Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto. Your video just confirmed my choice. Thank you :)

[@TheGamemonkey505]

I would say it is worth visiting Fuji for a day. Beautifull Place

[@GUITARooSLuGG39]

Good idea for this travel video. Damn that new camera is lookin' crisp and clean! Hoping to get to Japan next summer and hit up some of your suggestions!

[@Lily-sw1ub]

Love your video and you are so great at give all have good advice your video of travel are so beautiful thanks 😍 😘 👍 💓 💗 💖

[@sayurilife9106]

Hi Micaela,I've been watching your videos for about like 5 years and this my first comment!Now I came to Fukuoka to meet my friends and I'm actually planing of moving to Fukuoka to live with my husband within 2 years.Your videos about Fukuoka gave me a chance to think of it,I appreciate it.then I liked this video about Japan as well,you did a great job! たつさんとお幸せに〜♡

[@Ciaela]

+Sayuri Azuma Thank you so much Sayuri! I'm so glad to hear that!

[@sayurilife9106]

Micaela ミカエラ （＾＾）keep it up!but Don't push yourself hard about video,I really like your daily Vlog too! 応援しています〜♪

[@aleenr4425]

Your new hair colour looks so amazing!

[@Ciaela]

Thanks! It's a little darker than what I wanted, but it'll fade soon!

[@野獣先輩-u5f]

+Micaela ミカエラ 似合ってますよー、

[@watarum6783]

Very concise. These are so true and she has a good point of view.

[@user-wj3ww4yv4h]

この動画は、海外の人達に重宝されるだろうなぁ〜

[@佐藤さん-h4t]

Many people who have lived in Fukuoka are the best

[@uyj0183]

I think so as you thought. I hope many foreigner will visit Japan because of your this video.

[@Aya-wo1sn]

Thank you for intruding about Hiroshima. I really happy because I'm form Hiroshima. And I hope the number of visitors will increase again after COVID-19.

[@gennie1975]

Excellent job promoting Japan. I enjoy these videos that are informative.

[@Boredest1]

This is so helpful and informative. I love Lost in Translation so so much.

[@chinyasu1050]

excellent video you made me even someone like me original Japanese citizen want to go around Japan ‼️

[@XdmsT]

Good video, very helpfull. Thank you!

[@markfukazawa]

Thank you so much for polite explanation to Japan. It's difficult for me to explain to my friends in English about japanese tourist spots. Your KZbin channel is very helpful for me.

[@cocoa2815]

京都、大阪に来たなら奈良へも是非。 I recommend Nara. Nara is next to Kyoto. Nara was the capital of Japan to before. Nara have history from A.D. 780. The deer park is famous. You can stroll through vast Nara Park and Japanese style garden. And old streets in Nara can be seen in Naramacho.

[@kinpatu]

Glad you covered Yaeyama and Hokkaido. Those are always at the top of my list of recommendations once people have seen Tokyo and Kyoto.

[@SilverBlackBird1989]

Very interesting definitely some places. I want to visit sometime in the future.

[@baldysanyokosuka5592]

Excellent video Micaela. I was very impressed by your comments on Hiroshima and in the same light I would add the City of Nagasaki, if visitors can't make it to Hiroshima. No one should leave Japan with out seeing one or the other.

[@Ciaela]

Yes definitely! Good suggestion. Nagasaki's cityscape is also completely different from Hiroshimas, so the two cities themselves are very interesting, however, connected by the same bitter fate.

[@usamimi087]

Thank you for the great video!!!

[@sincek2995]

awesome!! thank you for your guidance!

[@Atamayama]

すごく丁寧でわかりやすい説明です。

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

I love Kyoto. Arashiyama is one of my favorite places ever.

[@NIIoSHEA]

Thanks for this! I'll share your video with my little brother so that he wants to visit Japan while I'm there again :'D.... I lived in Kobe for nearly 1 year and saw Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Fukuoka. I really really really love the Kansai area for it's people and traditional places. I just went to Fukuoka to visit my former teacher and say goodbye to her and was soooo surprised about the city, 'cause I didn't expect anything. It's so pretty there, people dress so nicely, there is so much variety on food, it's not as loud as Osaka or as chaotic as Tokyo and everything seems so sophisticated, lol. For traveling, Osaka and Kyoto are great but for longer stays like exchange programs and homestays, Kobe (♥) or Fukuoka seem perfect! Btw. I'll be in Nagoya for an internship and now I'm gonna watch everything food related on your channel and make a to-eat-list (◕‿◕)..............

[@chickgonesquirrely]

I'm so glad you made this! I was literally gonna go through a bunch of your videos, Rachel&Jun's, Sharla's, etc just to get an idea of where I want to visit and you just saved me a bunch of time 😌

[@あいうえ-s8o]

日本人です 福岡住んでます！ 彼女が言ったことは全て正しいです 日本のいい所取りだと思います 日本を知りたいなら、東京、大阪、京都、 時間がもっとあるなら、北海道、広島、福岡、沖縄！

[@HappyInJapan]

Great list, great video! I would add Nikko as another good pick for first time visitors. For someone more experienced, then certainly Akita & Aomori west coast are beautiful, but your list is more than sufficient for 99% of visitors. Thanks for posting this! I'll surely be recommending this vid to my friends interested in traveling to Japan. Andrew

[@Ciaela]

+Happy In Japan Thanks so much!! What a compliment!

[@AutomHatter]

Thank you for all the info! My husband and I visited Japan 4 years ago and we are going back this October, but this time we have 2 little ones. We were going to visit the same cities again since we knew what to expect, but after seeing this video maybe we can change it up just a bit.... add a touch more adventure.

[@thekevinc]

nice video, hoping to visit with some friends soon

[@NemoHoes]

One day I will visit japan

[@amelacena3067]

Really great video. I am hoping to go to Japan next year around November time and plan on visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Nara, Okinawa, Tokyo, Fukushima and Mt. Fuji. I think I will look into visiting Hokkaido as well. Thanks for the suggestions and breakdowns of each of the main cities.

[@musashimarc7536]

thanks for the tips ! i am a kyushu fans i had already visit miyazaki ,kumamoto. sugoii desune.best to you! Maaku

[@vangrails]

I liked Usuki !! Very nice old streets.

[@SuperDogWannabe]

I am currently applying to JET and this was extremely helpful for me (: Thanks!!

[@jorgeo.2327]

Hey GOOD JOB! your video is not biased at all haha (I was expecting Fukuoka first XD - pls, do not misunderstand, I really want to go there). Nice edition, heaps of info - Thanks!

[@Ciaela]

Haha, I knew if I put Fukuoka first people would doubt my credibility! It belongs on the list, for sure, but so do most of the other top 10 cities :p

[@jorgeo.2327]

haha super clever move =P but I'm sure temptation was whispering nearby // Question: Do you have any vid about sake breweries in Kyushu? Thanks for reply =D bye

[@egggoma3324]

You just said it!! If you want to enjoy "modern" Japanese culture, I recommend to go Tokyo. You want traditional one,I say Kyoto. And It's good to go Osaka in order to eat yummy foods.

[@LettersfromJapan]

Kyoto is my favorite, but of course I'm a bit biased.

[@LackPoint0]

夏に北海道、冬に沖縄もすごしやすくて良いですよ～。

[@kobe8779]

I really recommend you guys to visit Nagano if you like nature, adventures, and stuff like that.

[@inquisitvem6723]

very nice!

[@613Nightmare]

Thanks a lot this video is lovely, I hope I will be able to put it in good use soon.

[@kimmandy36]

I'm going to Fukuoka in September for seven days. So far I plan to stay in Fukuoka for four days, and go to Nagasaki, Kitakyushu, and Beppu/Oita for the rest. I'm soooooo looking forward to eating, shooping, and sightseeing in Fukuoka (and the other cities) thanks to your vids :)

[@billy6403]

good pronunciation

[@poop-cf7qy]

半端なく聞き取りの勉強になります

[@LuluMedly]

I am going back to Japan in November! Currently we are flying into Osaka, spending a few days there (going to Nara and maybe Kobe), then to Kyoto for 3 days (I am a huge Kyoto/Japanese Ancient History fan) spending much time there and then a week in Tokyo. Really excited!

[@Ciaela]

That sounds like an awesome itinerary, and it sounds like you're allowing a lot of time for it, so you won't get burned out. Have fun!

[@vangrails]

You can visit the garbage disposal factory in Osaka (architect Hundertwasser) if you want to see something completely different. And the Himeji castle, the renovation is done.

[@tmsala59]

Excellent Advice!

[@BKaitsuki]

I'm so glad that my step dad just moved to Kyoto I always loved gaikos 💕

[@BKaitsuki]

Well he was living in osaka before , but im happy that kyoto is closer to tokyo , i live for shibuya and ikebukuro

[@Sakamin1024]

Thank you for making this kind of video! Even I'm Japanese, this video is very interesting cuz I've not been many places in Japan. I'd like to add the place, Kamakura, where we can see a lot of temples, and we can feel old Japanese town. As you know, the place is close to Tokyo, so we don't have to go to Kyoto which has also a lot of temples. In addition, Kamakura has a beautiful beach, so it's very fun to walk around. 前にミカエラさんが鎌倉に来てたのを覚えてます！付け加えるとしたら、ぜひ鎌倉も入れて欲しいです:) thank you.

[@Ciaela]

鎌倉もたしかによかったな〜 Thanks for mentioning Kamakura! You're right, I've been there once and it was really beautiful!

[@streetpepole]

Fukuoka has one of the most beautiful night view points in Japan. Plus, food price is way cheaper than Tokyo!!! Additionally, Fukuoka hot spas are pretty good!!!! So, I really recommend Fukuoka!! (Because I used to live in Fukuoka.lol)

[@nataliawineland34]

I really loved this video it was so informative and makes me want to visit Japan even more so thank you for making this 🌸💕✨

[@Phillyprnc]

I live in Sapporo, but Fukuoka and Okinawa have both caught my interest lately. I LOVE Sapporo and wouldn`t live anywhere else but... I think some time in a warmer climate is over due. Thanks for yet another great video!!

[@drunkjager8045]

Come to Hakodate! You're gonna see great view from Mt Hakodate ;)

[@derbyboon]

Hakodate is also good, TOP scenic city in Japan

[@fumey0v0]

I love this video!

[@vilvero]

Just taking a car and just driving around and exploring could be fun.

[@eloised.2546]

Japanese gardens are nice to check out too especially this spring season! Okayama's Korakuen Garden which is nearby the Okayama Castle is one of my favorite places I visited asides from the Ritsurin Koen in Takamatsu.

[@MariaMedinaAng]

Nara! The dear village!

[@yutaro5296]

When I visit Fukuoka, I never fail to eat 豚骨らーめん. It's SO DAMN GOOD!!

[@株式会社ハーベストシーズン]

Himeji castle and HIkone castle are so good. They are very well preserved and you can imagine what it was like to be in samurai period.

[@福留総一郎-v5b]

ミカエラさん初見です。英語がききやすくて助かります！

[@Thereyapen]

kyoto used to be quite place but now I have a image kyoto is crowded and loud because so many chinese tourists come to kyoto.

[@TheGameSeekers]

hello. have u been to Tomogashima in Wakayama? Its interesting place too.

[@EZETechnRC]

Great Video!! Windsor Ontario Canada(across the river from Detroit) lol

[@doramid7357]

Pls come and introduce about "Shikoku". We hold modern art festival during summer and you can enjoy ocean and mountains some. Local foods are also nice as Hokkaido and Fukuoka. And do you know it's became more populer visiting "88-places" in Sikoku not only old people by Japanese but foreigner. Don't forget and visit Shikoku!!!

[@fabitapunk]

in my bucket list

[@Meg-yi9yq]

Kumano Kodo and Kouya san were great!

[@flyffpsy]

Yakushima was the greatest place from my first Japan tour.

[@Ciaela]

Yes! Yakushima is on my list, Tatsu loved it and so did my friend instagram.com/maurice it's just a little tricky to get to.

[@hakuchouzakai]

I highly recommend Nagasaki. It's a mixture of both past and present with beautiful mountains and a bay surrounding it. The food is delicious and the people are friendly. You can definitely get history lessons about WWII, but also about the Dutch/foreign influence there during the time when Japan was closed off to the rest of the world (with the exception of Dejima).

[@hayek218]

If you like temples and Buddhist sites, Koyasan is really a cool place. Peaceful, tranquil, not touristy.....It is a small version of Kyoto but a lot better as the whole town is created for Buddhism and preserved as such. You can stay in temples and attend meditation and morning services. Their vegetarian foods are really yummy too.

[@latashanorth2594]

Thank You , Love this.

[@Ciaela]

Thank you!

[@hannahlise9120]

When I went to Japan I stayed with my best friend's family in Zushi, Kanagawa for a couple weeks. I would totally recommend Kanagawa prefecture as a place to visit. There is historic Kamakura, Fujisawa and Enoshima, modern Yokohama, and lots of other great towns that are all connected by trains and buses. It's an easy prefecture to travel around and perfect for people who are looking for a mix of relaxing on the beach, hiking around historic or natural areas, or exploring traditional Japanese culture in a place that is much more laid back than Tokyo (which by the way is only about an hour away from most places in Kanagawa). Also you can see Fuji from a lot of places along the coast or in the hills! It's such a gorgeous place!

[@aihokama4967]

Hi Micaela. I strongly recommend to visit Ishikawa prefecture where I grew up. It's a quite beautiful place, and I think it's similar to Kyoto (but more quiet and not so many foreigns here). Actually people can come by Shinkansen after visiting Tokyo, or by train from Kyoto and Osaka. We have one of the biggest gardens, a famous museum, a traditional castle, a big market selling fresh food etc. Please come visiting Ishikawa once, and then you'll know here is the best place to visit and stay D

[@MaaikeInJapan]

I really wanna visit Ishigaki or Miyako island ! Actually I'm going to Okinawa in about one month so maybe I'll book a mini trip to there as well :D

[@kinpatu]

Highly recommended. Yaeyama was once of the best trips in Japan I ever had. You can see the southern and western tips of Japan while you're there.

[@jayisoldem56]

Micaela you're so multi talented when will you make another singing video?

[@Doogerauoy]

You live in Fuk-U-Oka? lol sounds like my kind of place.

[@deletethedarkness12]

Thank you for making this video, Micaela! :D I'm going to Fukuoka in August for 4 weeks. It'll be my first time going on holiday on my own. Your videos always make me very excited. It would be an honour if I happened to meet you. I think you're very awesome :) Lots of love and hugs from the Netherlands

[@gogang08]

夏の日本で観光するなら、郡上八幡は外せませんね。日本の風景美が集約されたような場所で、まるでジブリの作品を観ているような気持になります。 また、美しさと歴史と、日本人の信仰に触れてみたいなら同じ時期に伊勢神宮へ行かれることをお勧めします。１６００年に渡って続いてきた日本人の祈りの場所で、そして日本人の無意識の軸となっている皇室と日本国民がどのようにつながっているか知るには絶好だと思います。

[@XxRedPandA]

Come to Sendai during Tanabata, and stay to explore the surrounding areas! It's called the city of trees for a reason, and if you are a nature lover you will enjoy these mountains.

[@ska-4774]

疲れた時は、京都へ来てください。

[@loopyfrog]

excellent!

[@twodimensionsjhr]

I'm going to Fukuoka next week! :D and Staying at Airbnb :) ...im going from Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kobe, Nara, Kyoto, Hakone, and Tokyo!

[@spacevalyrian]

Did you like Fukuoka? And which cities in Japan that you've visited would you recommend?

[@twodimensionsjhr]

I liked Fukuoka. It's a nice small city probably 2-3 days there should suffice. I was there for 2 days and I had a friend of mine show me around. There are lots of food and sites to see. Micaela has a bunch of videos about Fukuoka which intrigued me on visiting the city. But if you're short on time and it's your first time in Japan it wouldn't hurt not to go there. In my previous comment, all of those places are nice to go to. Hakone stands out a bit because it's up in the mountains out of the city. I really liked this change of pace. If you like onsens and outdoors check this place out. It's really close to Tokyo; about 45mins on the shinkansen. For the Kansai Region, you can place your hub in Kyoto or Osaka then visit the neighbouring cities easily.

[@spacevalyrian]

+twodimensionsjhr Thanks! If I'm going to Japan, I'd like to visit multiple cities, because it will probably be a while if I would ever return. Your tips helped.

[@mariamonteon4345]

I went to Sapporo in February and it was so cute! I'm from Texas and had never experienced snow, and there was a lot!! (oddly enough, I didn't feel too cold and almost never zipped up my jacket,though my Japanese Host family was worried I'd get sick)

[@AquaCocytus]

Hello Micaela, I am going to Kyudai and I am planning to live in Fukuoka. Do you have any cool places that I can go to spend time while I attend?

[@Ciaela]

You'll find tons! I think you'll settle in pretty quickly. Fukuoka is a really compact city, it's not too spread out, so you'll find that most of the cool places are in the same general area, (Tenjin, Hakata, Nakasu, Momochi) and you'll find your favorites.

[@jason4275]

I want to go were the cool kids go.

[@carlk55]

If you like the kind of view in Kyoto, but dont wanna get too around with other tourists, definitely check Nara out. The city is kinda small, but it is just as historical, clean, and elegant as Kyoto, and by the way, it is also only one hour train ride from Kyoto, too.

[@Norixciii]

Was in Japan for 2 weeks this month til a few days ago. My tip is about Bamboo forests in Kyoto. I didn't go to the popular tourist-y Arashiyama bamboo forest because google reviews say that while beautiful, it's short and full of tourists trying to take a shot of just themselves and the forest. Not to mention I was on a bike (I rented one next to Saga Torokko station for 1000 yen) and they don't let you park anywhere near the forest. Instead I visited many surrounding temples and shrines and there were multiple bamboo forests with literally NO ONE there. I took a lot of great photos. Bike around the area especially the Northwest area near Adashino Nenbutsu-ji. It's so peaceful and quiet, almost no tourists and very pretty neighborhoods/view. It's a little uphill til there but then you can bike nonstop downhill allll the way down past the Togetsukuyo bridge from this point and it's so refreshing! Biking around was definitely a highlight of the trip as well.

[@vangrails]

Yes, Kyoto, Arashiyama and Nara are nice for cycling. You can also cycle from Arashiyama to the Ryoan temple.
