I wish more people knew about this area north of Tokyo! 😱🍁 📍Most people come here for the autumn colors, but summer might actually be my favorite time to visit. The mountains are covered in lush green, the weather is much cooler than Tokyo and some of Nikko’s most famous spots can feel surprisingly peaceful. 🌊Lake Chuzenji, Kegon Falls and Irohazaka are especially beautiful this time of year, with the deep blue water and green mountains creating a completely different atmosphere from the famous red and orange fall scenery. But the biggest difference is the lack of crowds. You can visit places like Toshogu Shrine and Shinkyo Bridge without dealing with the same insane congestion that makes Nikko so difficult during peak autumn season. 🚍If you want an easy way to visit from Tokyo, Klook has day tours to Nikko with pickup from Shinjuku or Tokyo Station, so you can see the main sights without having to worry about getting around yourself. 💴Use my code THATTRAVELGUY to save some extra money! Make sure to add Nikko to your travel itinerary no matter which season you visit Japan in! #pr #klookkreator @Klook USA

Hidden Gems near Tokyo don’t come better than this! 👀 📍The Miura Peninsula is a beautiful getaway from Tokyo city, featuring wild oceans, cliff views and some of the freshest seafood you can find in Japan! With a nice rustic mix of old-school Showa-Japan and modern surfer town vibes, this area can easily rival Kamakura; minus the crowds. And what’s even more insane is the value ticket that you can get for this area: The Misaki Maguro Ticket, at just around $25 covers pretty much all transportation, a fresh Sushi or seafood bowl in more than two dozen restaurants of your choice and even an activity like a bike rental or glass floor boat ride! Get your Misaki Maguro Ticket on Klook and easily exchange it for the physical ticket at the Keikyu service center in either Yokohama or Shinagawa. And if you do, make sure to use my coupon code THATTRAVELGUY, to save some extra money! #pr #klookkreator @Klook USA

🍜 Think a 3⭐ restaurant is bad? Not in Japan. 🙅 One of the biggest mistakes I see travelers make is skipping restaurants because they have a "low" rating. But Japan's review culture is completely different. A 3.3-3.7 on Tabelog can easily be one of the best meals you'll have on your trip. I've found some of my favorite local spots this way, places packed with Japanese diners that most tourists would walk right past. That's why I use Tabelog whenever I'm looking for somewhere to eat. It helps you discover incredible local restaurants, check reviews, and even make reservations, all in multiple languages. If you're planning a trip to Japan, this is one app you'll want to have before you arrive. Comment below and I'll send you the download link! #tabelog #tabelogapp #pr
