Tired of Europe or no longer inspired by beach travel? Then you are in the right scenario, in which I will show you a completely different picture of the world - the world of Japan. To be more precise, on my journey you will see 5 cities of this island country - Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe.
Be enthralled by the calming beauty of nature along with Buddhist temples, learn the rich history of Japan through historical museums and enjoy the beauty and grace of true geisha! There's a lot more waiting for you in my scenario. You're sure to love it ;)
Even better, you'll be able to see Japan from all its corners while exploring the area by car. Comfort, comfort, and slowness are the main tenets of a car trip.
