Explore Japan by region

Explore Japan’s northern island through Sapporo, Hakodate and the wide landscapes beyond. Long distances make airport choice and rail connections especially important.

Discover northern Honshu through Sendai, Aomori, Akita and mountain or coastal towns. Shinkansen lines cover major corridors, while local trains and buses complete the journey.

Travel beyond central Tokyo to Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Tochigi, Gunma and Ibaraki. This region offers both easy day trips and destinations that need a more deliberate transfer plan.

Navigate the capital’s extensive rail network, airport connections and neighborhood hubs. Tokyo is treated separately from the wider Kanto region so city travel stays easy to find.

Cross central Japan from Nagoya and the Tokai coast to the Japanese Alps, Hokuriku and Yamanashi. Mountains and coastlines create very different transport corridors.

Plan journeys across Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and the wider Kansai region. Multiple railway companies make short trips flexible, but station and ticket choices matter.

Explore western Honshu from Okayama and Hiroshima to Yamaguchi and the Sanin coast. Mainline rail links coexist with slower coastal and rural connections.

Discover Shikoku’s four prefectures through Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Tokushima and Kochi. Bridges, ferries, limited-express trains and buses each serve different journeys.

Travel across southern Japan from Fukuoka to Nagasaki, Kumamoto and Kagoshima, or onward by air to Okinawa. Rail, buses and flights serve distinct parts of the region.
