tourist sites
Family pulls the final shutter down on one of the oldest Japanese sweets stores in the country.
Photos show iconic exterior being torn down, putting a giant question mark over the future of the popular tourist site.
A railway up the mountain aims to eliminate vehicles on the road to the fifth station but the round-trip fare for passengers won’t be cheap.
Serving diners since the days of the samurai and once loved by famous writers like Natsume Soseki, this long-standing business will soon be no more.
Look out — Japan’s old capital appears to be rising again, with an army of koi fish behind it.
Mother Nature attempts to reclaim the path at this rugged tourist site filled with mystery and beauty.
World Heritage-listed Golden Pavilion is currently covered up for repairs, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to see the building.
Complete with a Japanese bus stop, Japanese road signs, a Japanese taxi, and a Japanese car park.
Empty streets at Sensoji and Shinjuku have us seeing the capital in a very different light.
