Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is one of the major cities of the world and can be overwhelming at first. You could spend an entire 10 days in Tokyo if you wanted to, but there is so much more to visit outside Japan’s capital, so hit up the capital for at least 3 days before heading on on your 10 day Japan travel itinerary. From the famous Shibuya Scramble crossing, to the Tsukiji fish market, you are totally spoiled for choice.

Mount Fuji, Japan
A visit to Mount Fuji literally can’t be missed in Japan. It’s only around 1 hour outside of Tokyo so it’s an easy day trip OR I would recommend staying at least 1 night if you can on your 10 day Japan travel itinerary,

Kyoto, Japan
Kyoto is the old capital of Japan and I’ve heard that a lot of people prefer Kyoto to Tokyo; this might be due to the fact that Kyoto has a very long history and there are a tonne of ancient temples and shrines to visit! It is probably one of my favourite places we visited on my 10 day Japan travel itinerary.
There’s a tonne of temples and some of which fall under the UNESCO world heritage site banner: Kinkaku-ji temple, Kiyomizu-dera, Higashiyama Jisho-ji, and Nijō Castle. If you’re in Kyoto, don’t forget you can also visit Osaka, Nara, and Lake Biwa which are all nearby.

Nara, Japan
Nara shouldn’t be missed off your 10 day Japan travel itinerary and there are two incredibly iconic things you should consider doing whilst you’re here. For Japan travel tips, have a look at all my Japan travel guides here.

Shizuoka, Japan
The Bridge of Dreams is simply that; dreamy. Officially titled Yume no Tsuribashi suspension bridge, this is an absolute hidden gem in Sumatakyo Gorge, Japan. It has stunning emerald green blue waters and is the perfect hike in between Tokyo and Kyoto in the Shizuoka Prefecture and if you can, add it to your 10 day Japan travel itinerary. It has been titled as one of the top 10 suspension bridges in the world to cross before you die. You absolutely cannot miss this gorgeous gorge in Japan!
