Gotemba is a city beside Mount Fuji in central Japan. Chichibunomiya Memorial Park has a cypress forest and springtime cherry blossoms. To the west, Fuji Safari Park is a zoo with elephants and a night safari. To the north, the Fuji Speedway track hosts regular car races. Swans and paddle boats cruise the waters of Lake Yamanaka, and a trail leads to the Panorama Dai lookout for scenic views of the lake and mountain.
Hakone, in Japan's Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park west of Tokyo, is a mountainous town known for its hot springs resorts (onsen) and views of the iconic volcano Mount Fuji. It also encompasses Hakone Shrine, a Shinto shrine with a red “torii” gate overlooking Lake Ashi, which can be toured by boat, as well as the boiling sulphur springs of the Owakudani Valley.
Izu is a city in Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture, on the heavily forested Izu Peninsula. It’s known for its hot spring resorts and the Shuzenji Temple, a 9th-century Zen Buddhist site with a bamboo garden. Old-fashioned, English-themed steam trains operate along the narrow-gauge Shuzenji Romney Railway. The medieval Toi Gold Mine has restored tunnels and a gold museum. Nearby, the Kano River tumbles over Jōren Falls.
Tokyo, Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods. The Imperial Palace sits amid large public gardens. The city's many museums offer exhibits ranging from classical art (in the Tokyo National Museum) to a reconstructed kabuki theater (in the Edo-Tokyo Museum).
