To experience the best of Japan from cityscapes to natural scenery, and museums to temples, there’s no better place than Kanagawa. Yokohama, located just 45 minutes from Tokyo, with its iconic Minato Mirai 21 district, bustling Chinatown and beautiful landscaped Sankeien Garden is a great place to check out for city lovers. For those seeking the touch of nature, head to Hakone for Mt Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes where you can also soak in a traditional onsen in many of the ryokans there. If you are more of a beach person, Kanagawa has many islands from Enoshima to Jogashima and Sarushima to offer.
