For a lot of first-time visitors of Japan, planning an itinerary can be a big challenge. With so many sites and attractions to choose from, how can they even pick which ones to prioritize? Because of that, many decide to just stick to the so-called \u201cgolden route\u201d of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. That is perfectly fine, as these three cities are home to some of the world\u2019s most iconic historical and cultural sites, best entertainment districts, and most beautiful natural scenic spots, and it is impossible to run out of things to do there. However, for those who are looking to try something different, and go off the beaten path, there are also numerous options available for you. Below are just 6 of Japan\u2019s must-visit hidden gems:<\/p>\n

Matsushima<\/h4>\n

Located in Miyagi Prefecture, a 30-minute train ride away from Sendai, Matsushima is a nature-lover\u2019s paradise that is considered to be one of the top three most scenic views in the country. It is highly recommended to those who are looking to be one with nature, as its 260 lush islets and stunning bay are home to dense forests and diverse flora and fauna, and overflow with breathtaking natural beauty.<\/p>\n

To explore the area, you can take a tour of Matsushima Bay aboard a sightseeing boat, and enjoy the refreshing views. You can also hop off the cruise, and spend some time checking out some of the islets, particularly Oshima Island, which offers many serene walking trails that go deep into the pine forests. You can also visit Fukuura Island, which is accessible from the mainland via a bridge that is 252 meters long, and also has a variety of walking paths and a botanical garden.<\/p>\n
