Now, Im sharing my ultimate guide, organized by my favorite prefectures and cities, to help you find your own adventures! General tips WELCOME! Im so excited to share this guide with you, organized around my favorite prefectures and cities in Japan! Each section features interesting attractions, shrines, and some of my personal highlights. Plus, Ive included tips and lists of anime and merch shops youll find in each area.
