Ultimate Japan

100 Must-do Experiences in the Land of the Rising Sun

Author DK Travel
A bucket list of unforgettable adventures that will inspire the ultimate trip to Japan


Japan. It’s on your bucket list, right? And deservedly so. Where else can you ride the world’s fastest trains, soak in the hot springs of an active volcano or dine in a robot-staffed restaurant? Japan is a country like no other, but with so much to see and do, where do you start?

Bringing together everything that makes Japan so exciting, this book gives you all the inspiration you need to make your trip the best ever. Inside, you’ll find the cherry blossom viewing parties and sushi eating experiences that no traveller should miss, plus the bucket list ideas you never knew you needed, like meeting onsen-loving snow monkeys in Nagano or attempting the mighty 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Even better? Interest-themed chapters and expertly planned itineraries – showing you how to make the most of your time, no matter what you're into – take you one step closer to planning the perfect trip.

This is your ticket to the must-sees and must-dos in Japan – all that’s left is to book that trip to the land of the rising sun.
