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.
This special sightseeing deal offers passengers a chance to see Mt. Fuji in a whole new light.
Complete with a Japanese bus stop, Japanese road signs, a Japanese taxi, and a Japanese car park.
The open road might tempt you to step on the gas, but being so far from traffic means you’re far from something else too.
Fly from Tokyo to Okinawa for less than the price of a fancy Starbucks coffee…but you’ll need to hurry.
A compact companion for when you’ve got too much stuff to hang, but not enough for a laundromat run.
All it takes is a few seconds to earn a free night, and they’ll even give you complimentary beer and sashimi.
