Seven Destinations in Japan for a Fairy-Tale Bullet Vacation

Heading to Japan for Christmas and New Year? Check these seven destinations which will make your trip a fairy tale. No jokes!

Hakone
Take an amazing cruise over a serene lake or hop into a comfortable cable car gondola for jaw-dropping mountainous views.

Mount Fuji and the five lakes
Oh yes, this cult landmark is not to be missed. Magnificent views and overwhelming tranquillity is somewhat counterbalanced by an amusement park and hot springs in Fujiyoshida City.

Furano
Snowboarding! That's why you come here in winter. If there's no snow, then there are hiking trails and majestic views (yes, again!).

Tokyo
We've almost forgotten to mention Tokyo where you really get spoiled for choice with for activities. Splendid and cosmic – that's it.

Yakushima
Wink – and you are transported from a bustling capital of Tokyo on a pristine island covered with primeval rainforests. Hot springs, delightful cuisine and friendly locals make the experience complete.

Kyoto
Over 1,000 years of history and spectacular architecture already sound like a wonderland. And Kyoto is a wonderland, no doubt, with shadows of samurai warriors still wandering its centuries old streets.

Okinawa
Need a tropical paradise with stunning beaches? Japan's got you covered. Relax and soak up the Pacific ambience. Sounds good, does it not?
