6 Stunning Places in Japan outside of Tokyo That You Will Regret Missing

Japan is on everyone’s travel bucket list and even more popular as a pre-wedding photoshoot destination. There are so many different sights to visit in this country that seamlessly merges nature and culture, perfect for couples who can’t decide on one!

While the most visited places are definitely Tokyo and Kyoto, we found some hidden gems on the outskirts of Tokyo that will open up your eyes to the infinite beauty that Japan encompasses!

Hakone

Located a short 1 hour drive away from Tokyo, Hakone’s Sengokuhara Pampas Grass Field is a sight to behold!

This stunning trekking path can be found on Mount Hakone and you will be engulfed by the overwhelming silver grass that fills the rest of the area.  This is definitely one of the most wow-worthy locations on our list!

Oishi Park

Everyone who has visited Japan know that it is quite a feat to capture Mount Fuji as it is difficult to find the right angle to capture its entire brilliance. Oishi Park located 1.5 hours away from Tokyo gives you the perfect view of Mount Fuji in the backdrop along with the stunning Lake Kawaguchi, talk about best of both worlds!

If you visit at the right time, you might even catch the lavender blooms along the lake!
