Edo-Tokyo Museum
How the small fishing village of Edo developed into the bustling metropolis Tokyo is today? The museum literally shows you how, with its intricate scale models and life-size reconstructions, divided into zones from different periods of history. Some of its impressive attractions are the model of a Kabuki theater, an exhibit of Edo’s former “pleasure industry” and pop culture memorabilia from post-war japan, including the first television sets. The comprehensive content of the museum, from historical artifacts to references to the different industries that boomed in the country and their effect on Japanese life, give tourists a deeper perspective of the Japanese psyche. The museum also provides leaflets and headphone sets, and can assign a personal English-speaking guide for free.
Tokyo National Museum
Five buildings house several galleries containing the world’s largest collection of Japanese art. Over 4,000 artifacts are displayed at a time, with exhibits rotated to offer people something new with each visit. Exhibits range from handmade antique kimonos to archaeological finds. The Metropolitan Art Museum, Bunka Kaikan Cultural Hall, the Western Art Museum, the National Art museum and a zoo are a short walk away.
Mount Fuji
The snow-capped, symmetrical peaks of this dormant volcano is not only beautiful, it has held religious and even cultural significance since ancient times. People once thought it to be a stairway to heaven; today, it is interpreted as symbol of Japan’s strength. You can take any of the six, easily managed trails to reach the summit (bring a lot of film to capture the many scenic spots along the way) and stay overnight in the huts. The best time to climb is July to August, before winter.
Kyoto
Just a bullet train ride away from the Kansai Airport is what many call Japan’s sightseeing capital, because of the way it has preserved its traditions. It has 1,700 Buddhist temples, 300 Shinto shrines, palaces, gardens, and traditional wooden homes-which were spared from heavy bombing during the second world war. Key sites include To-ji, the country’s tallest pagoda, the gold-leaf pavilion of Kinkakuji, and Sanjusangendo Hall, which holds a stunning 1,001 statues from the 12th and 13th centuries.
