While Tokyo
and Kyoto are the two most important tourist destinations in Japan, there are
several other interesting places that are worth a visit.
One such
interesting destination is Hiroshima, a city that has virtually risen from
ashes after getting decimated completely due world's first nuclear bomb attack
during World War II. Hiroshima Peace Memorial is the most famous war memorial
located in Hiroshima, symbolizing the destruction caused by the atom bomb.
Another important place to visit is the Peace Memorial Museum that houses
details about the events that led to the attack.
Hokkaido
Island of Japan is a nature's paradise with most of its area being protected as
national parks. Filled with fantastic volcanoes, 'bottomless' crater lakes, hot
springs and numerous mountain and ski resorts, Hokkaido is also home for
Japan's indigenous Ainu tribe. Diasetsuzan National Park is Japan's largest
national park located in central Hokkaido.
Another
premier tourist destination in Japan is the Mount Fuji, the highest mountain
peak in Japan with a perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone. There are various
hiking trails on either sides of the mountain. Considered as a dormant volcano,
Mt. Fuji can be climbed during summer season. Situated around Mt. Fuji is the
Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, a recreational paradise offering hot spring
resorts, golf courses and facilities for fishing, hiking, camping, swimming and
boating.
And if you
are a skiing lover then Nozawa Onsen is nice place for your desire. It is a
best place in Japan for the ski purpose.
