Beautiful Places of Japan

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.
