I will write the name in English and (Chinese character) that you might be able to google or use it (like to show the locals
for asking something) when you’re visiting
I roughly separate it into few areas and things to do
Let me know where you want to know more, you can leave it in the comment
All of them you can just use google image to see more
details or if I think about something I will write it later or click the link to the other articles

traditional Kimono and walk on the street to feel traditional Japan!
- Fushimi Inari-taisha(伏見稲荷大社)
Nagano(長野) – SNOW,SKI, the amazing nature
- Hakuba Happoone(白馬-八方尾根) – Best ski location and fantastic bar and English service/ but I was the only Asian in the bar (That’s because Japanese don’t go to bar)
- Hida takayama(飛騨高山) – Amazing town with traditional Japanese village look, you might feel like we are still in in the 17th century
- Shiragawago(合掌村 ) – Village in between mountains with special housing style
- Yamanouchi snow monkey park – The monkeys are enjoying the nature hot spring in the snowing season
Hokkaido(北海道)

What you should try
Food
- Ton kōtsu rāmen (とんこつラーメン): My favourite type of noodle in
Japan
- Sashimi(刺身), sushi(すし) – I know you know
sushi, but try to order it as aburi(炙り) which means grill a bit on the very surface –
I recommend fat salmon aburi is the best! You should not miss it.
- Kaiten sushi(回転寿司): Similar sushi belt like in Darwin, but the sitting
arrangement is different and qulity is much better [Recommend: sushi-hanamaru]
- Okonomiyaki(お好み焼き): Same idea as Tepanyaki, but
people in Japan are eating Okonomiyaki rather than Tepanyaki
- Izakaya(居酒屋): The literal translation is “Drinking
room/house”. Japanese don’t really enjoy going to a bar but they visit Izakauya
as much as they can. [Recommend: All you can drink
for 2 hours for only $Aud 25-30 dollars]
Onsen
Hot spring, public bath. It’s amazing if you go to the
outdoor one when it’s snowing.
Reminds: you will have to be completed naked with strangers
cuz they want to keep the water clean, not to be contaminated with any fiber.
Summer time:
Okinawa islands
There’s lot more to see, enjoy! J
