Yokoso! Japan

(Encounter fresh surprises and discoveries in a region where many attractions ring together)

The capital of Japan, Tokyo, is located in the Kanto region. However, the city area is not the only attraction of this region. Harsh but beautiful nature such as the Kegon Falls can be found in Nikko, where remains of historical constructions reflect its glory during the Edo Period (Year 1603-1867) when it flourished as an area associated with the Tokugawa Shogun. Day trips to popular sightseeing areas and historical sites can be made from Tokyo. Such areas include the Edo Period, the ancient city of Kamakura, which flourished as the center of politics and culture of medieval Japan, and the hot-spring area of Hakone, which originated in the old Nara Period (Year 710-793).
